It seems so long ago

since I felt the warm sun of my homeland

we had come to this bleak dismal land

in the service of the Emperor

so many years ago

I have forgotten how many

I have comrades around me who

would lay down their lives

for our friendship

Yes , I am blessed with their love

Yet

I long so much for my homeland

so far away across the plains

and mountains of the Empire

My Wife, My Children

I pray to the God Mars

that one day I will see them again

at night in this watchtower

a mans mind can wander

a dangerous pastime

on Hadriens Wall
