As Paulinus' men make contact with the britons,

"The Druids lifted their hands to the heavens,"
德魯伊人將雙手高舉上空
"Invoking the gods and pouring forth horrible curses."
喚醒神靈放下巨毒詛咒

You can have passion, you can have guts.

But if you run up against a military might like Rome,

that passion wanes quickly,those guts fade to fear,
你擁有的激情便一文不值 勇氣也將轉化為恐懼
and the next thing you know you're a conquered people.
然后你就淪為了階下囚
