[Verse 1]

       G                 D          Em                    D
As the winter is drawing near, fast approaching change of season is threatening
C          G            Am   D
March over mountains an army ascends
         G               D               Em            D
As their time is running out a desperate move, a brave surprise
            C                   G                         D
A threat to Rome comes from the north, through rocks they go


[Bridge]

            Am               G            D
Through the ice, through the cold and the snow


[Refrain]

     Em
Over mountains, an army far from home
        G                         D
Leading beast and man through the cold and snow
Em
Marching, they’re moving on Rome
       G      C                G        D
Guided by the stars, light the valley below
Em
Break the illusion of their foe
        G                        D
As they cross the range where no armies go
Em          A           Em
Marching, descending on Rome
         G                           Em
From the peaks to the heart of their foe

        G                 D              Em                  D
Lead by Gauls to find the way, unite the tribes to show them through the mountains
C          G        Am        D
Higher and higher, across the divide
         G                    D                    Em         D
Face the odds, the mountains’ wrath, they took the unexpected path
       C             G                D
To the battles that await them down below


[Bridge]

Through the ice, through the cold and the snow
