Saluda and Regrethus

Two brothers we
Saluda and Regrethus
We fight for highest pay
We fight for our homeland
And for empires far away

From the rivers of the Indus
To the rolling hills of Gaul
Saluda and Regrethus
Our names are feared by all

Two brothers we
Saluda and Regrethus
Travel far from home
We travel earth and sea
To an empire called Rome

Though armor weighs us down
Though we boil in the sun
Saluda and Regrethus
We must never run

Two brothers we
Saluda and Regrethus
We do not feel fear
Even during our hardest battles
Our gods are always near

We ride across the mountains
We ride across the field
Saluda and Regrethus
We ride to reap our yield

Two brothers we
Saluda and Regrethus
At Germania, ride’s end
We meet an ancient general
Who needs us to defend

Through marsh and swamp
Through forest, field, and hill
Saluda and Regrethus
Fight with everlasting will

Two brothers we
Saluda and Regrethus
Riding through the crowd
Our enemies all fear our names
So we shout them out loud

The battle lasts all through the night
And the clouds begin to cry
Saluda and Regrethus
So far from home we die

Two brothers we
Saluda and Regrethus
Horsemen strong and fast
May we always be remembered
And our tale forever last
