Chill the air, although only september
Silent the woods as in deep slumber
Here in Germania, slain by Cheruscan hand
The glory of Rome has come to an end
Gaul on its knees, under Jupiters reign
This side of the Rhine, still Wodon's domain
For noble Arminius is Germanic again
Romes' mighty eagle received with disdain
Altars erected where three legions stood
None escaped oblivion, silent the Teutoburg wood
Scattered bodies all over, captured standards as a sign
Heads nailed to the trees, symbols of decline
Germania!
Midst the battle the governor fell
Fell by his very own hand
Romans took their last desperate stand
"Future emperor Tiberius, do not cross the Rhine
On this natural border Rome should draw its line"
Symbol of preservation, of Germania's freedom
Saved the untamed land of the Northern Heathen
Emperor Augustus by his loss driven to despair:
"Give me back my legions! Oh Varus, I do declare!"
Ancient Rites is a Belgian band playing black metal (initially) and folk metal (recently) formed in 1988. The initial lineup consisted of guitarists Johan and Phillip, drummer Stefan and Gunther Theys on bass and vocals. In 1990 the *Dark Ritual* demo was released in the underground scene, gaining worldwide attention just as black metal was gaining importance in the metal scene. Soon after the release of this demo Phillip died in a car crash and not long after, Stefan committed suicide. However painful this episode was to the band, they decided to continue and Stefan's position was taken by his drum roadie Walter Van Cortenberg. Ancient Rites has released numerous albums, including *The Darkest Hour* (1994), *Blood of the Ancients* (1996) and *The Serpent's Embrace* (2003). Their musical style is characterized by dark and atmospheric sounds, with folk and melodic influences. Some of their most representative songs include *Dark Ritual*, *Blood of the Ancients* and *The Serpent's Embrace*.
