The song tells the story of Julius Caesar's conquest of Gaul, which is divided into three parts inhabited by different tribes. The protagonist sings about the brutal violence and destruction caused by the Roman legions as they march through Europe, and how Caesar writes about it in his memoirs. The chorus is a Latin phrase that means "Gaul is divided into three parts, of which the Belgae, the Aquitani, and the Celtae of our own language, the Gauls, are the inhabitants. Hail Caesar, those who are about to die salute you."
