muli mariani - folkodia lyrics

i once had a friend
the best of friends
anyone could ever have:
we marched together long
with the sixth, legio victrix:
we toiled hard like mules
together ‘neath the rain
building hadrian’s great wall…
we drew swords together
in the ranks of the first parthica
and shared a water-skin
in the burning deserts of nisibis…
we were legionnaires
under the aquila of rome –
we fought and died
laughed and cast the die:
we, the muli mariani
a haggard band of brothers!
in carnuntum, in 60 a.d
we were with the fourteenth
that owned the field that day
when boudicca’s braves
faced a blood-swathed defeat!
we raised a right-arm hail
to emperor augustus
inspecting the ranks
when we of the fifteenth apollinaris
made the jews rue the day!
we were legionnaires
under the aquila of rome –
we fought and died
laughed and cast the die:
we, the muli mariani
a haggard band of brothers!
