Segestes Charge

"The uncle of Arminius, Segestes, was inducted by Arminius into the rebellion and asked to join it
Due to the fact that he dreaded a war against the superior roman legions, he informed Varus about Arminius' plans"

“Varus, listen to me!
Treason will befall you!
Rebellion arises
In the ranks of the tribes!
Only one is the leader!
His sword held high!
The one is called Arminius!”

“Keep silent, Segestes!
Guard your tongue!
It seems to me
That you are the one
The one who wants to betray me!
Arminius is a loyal friend of Rome!
Don't you know
What happens to liars?
To liars like you?”

“Believe me, Varus! Believe me!
Or you will perish!
Listen to me and you will live!
Not one false word I told you!
Not one false word passed my lips!
Oh Believe me, Varus!
Or you will perish!
Listen to me and you will live!
Not one false word I told you!
Not one false word
Passed my lips!”

“Out with you! Back to your heathens!
Your words will never become true!
Arminius is under protection of Rome!
And I trust him eternally!”

Segestes left with sorrow in mind
He knew that blood will flow
Though I wanted to betray his tribe
He joined the rebellion.

“Brothers, we're going to war!
Brothers, we will never fall!
Roman blood for our steel!
We will have them kneel!”
