From misty shores where ravens call, a legend's flame to sprawl
A queen of fire, a warrior's heart, stands, her anger's art
They plundered wealth, they took pride, her husband's death, she couldn't hide
The Romans with greed and might, but freedom burns a fierce, light
Her daughters raised their blades on high, Britannia's will fill the sky!
Camulodunum fell in flame, Verulamium the same
Londinium choked in smoke and ash, Boudicca's fury, a deadly crash!
Her golden hair, a battle rage, voice commands a turning page
The Iceni rise, a tide, for fallen kin, they'll take no side
With thundering, warriors bold, they crushed the Ninth, a story
Though victories stacked, a final stand, Suetonius' legion met hand
Outnumbered, trapped, a desperate fight, Boudicca's dream took at night
Poison's kiss, or battle's strain, her spirit lives, though victory's wane
Boudicca, Queen of Briton's lands, a warrior's legend, forever stands!
