Lightnings of fire in the sea From eastern lands The beginning of the battle of the proud Genoa began its march to conquer the sea Burning and k**ing in 1372 With the help of the empire The theft is done The path now leads to war With this improper act you sign your fatal fate Gather all your troops it's time to go My enemies are at the gates We have to run for the last chance So we'll be the wall to defend the town My enemies will not pa** No good news is coming from the fleet Ships are burning for a hard and fast blow We have to run to fight this desperate siege We'll be ready for the battle in the night Our four-thousand men are marching to war And Zeno strikes with his blow Cannons are striking men are fighting For a single goal Win with a heart bold My enemies are at the gates We have to run for the last chance So we'll be the wall to defend the town My enemies will not pa** No peace and no truce for the affront the peace is die
