Lyrics

Longboats have been sighted and the evidence of war
Has begun, many Nordic fighting men, their swords and shields gleam
In the sun, call to arms, defend yourselves, get ready to stand and fight
For your lives, judgement day has come around, so be prepared, don't run

Stand your ground

They're coming in from the sea
They've come, the enemy
Beneath the blazing sun
The battle has to be won

Invaders
Pillaging
Invaders
Looting

Set ablaze the camp fires and alert the other men
From inland, warning must be given that there's not enough men here
For a stand, the Vikings are too many, much too powerful to take
On our own, we must have reinforcements, we cannot fight this battle alone

They're coming over the hill
They've come to attack
They're coming in for the kill
There's no turning back

Invaders
Fighting
Invaders
Marauding

Axes grind and maces clash as wounded fighters fall
To the ground, severed limbs and fatal woundings, bloody corpses lay
All around, the smell of death and burning flesh, the battle weary fight
To the end, the Saxons have been overpowered, victims of the mighty Norsemen

You'd better scatter and run
The battle's lost and not won
You'd better get away
To fight another day

Invaders
Raping
Invaders
Plundering
