    The soldiers prepare
    The gates have opened this day

    A moonlit forest
    With mystical unicorns
    Crying sea horses

    Windy Steppe grassland
    Turned into storm
    horse gallops echoed across the field

    Rain of arrows
    Stained the green grass red
    Field of blood

    Then the horsemen came
    and charged the mighty phalanx
    more blood stained the field

    So the hopeless men
    drawed their sword, tried to fight
    more blood stained the field

    The kontos pierced them
    the horses crushed their bodies
    more blood stained the field

    They started routing
    the horsemen were slaughtering
    more blood stained the field

    Mighty Seleukos
    trembling, his army dying
    more blood stained the field

    Horsemen slaughtered them
    King Seleukos, was no more
    more blood stained the field

    Enemies' bodies,
    Seleukos' army was dead
    more blood stained the field

    And the horsemen,
    looked for survivors, not any
    more blood stained the field

    There were parties
    all along the vasts steppes
    the Saka had won

    It wasn't a small feast
    No more seleukids, no more
    the Saka had won

    The happy kitten
    Kissed my happy cheek
    And a rainbow sang

    Why Segmentata?
    Please stop the pointless endless
    threads. Read F.A.Q.

    Also don't ask us
    When E.B. will be released.
    When it is ready.
    οἵη περ φύλλων γενεὴ τοίη δὲ καὶ ἀνδρῶν.
    Even as are the generations of leaves, such are the lives of men.
