about

Britannia is about the usurper Constantine III in the beginning of the 400s, and how the bretons decided to take the defence of Britannia into their own hands, instead of relying on help from Rome, which never came.

lyrics

Belägrade från alla håll
Saxare, skoter och pikter
Ingen hjälp från kejsaren
Övergivna av Rom
Den sista legionen
Inte längre glömd
Res er upp ur mörkret
Och väljer vår egen kung

Tänd åter bretonernas eld
Med spjut och spjärn tar vi vår hämnd
Deus skänk oss styrka och makt
Driv tillbaka barbarernas män

Britannia, res er
Britannia, res er upp

Aldrig mer ska vi ge vika
Konstantin han leder oss
Denna gång slår vi tillbaka
Vårt stridsrop: Britannia!

Vi korsar kanalen
Gallien stödjer oss
Barbarer och kejsaren
Alla faller de för oss


Translation:

Besieged from all sides
Saxons, Scots and Picts
No help from the Emperor
Abandoned by Rome
The last legion
No longer forgotten
Rise from the darkness
And choose our own king

Light again the flame of the Bretons
With spears and spirit, we take revenge
Deus, grant us strength and power
Drive out the barbarian men

Britannia, rise
Britannia, rise up

Never again shall we surrender
Constantine leads us
This time we strike back
Our battlecry: Britannia!

We cross the channel
Gaul supports our cause
Barbarians and the Emperor
All of them fall before us

Light again the flame of the Bretons
With spears and spirit, we take revenge
Deus, grant us strength and power
Drive out the barbarian men

Britannia, rise
Britannia, rise up

Never again shall we surrender
Constantine leads us
This time we strike back
Our battlecry: Britannia!
