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
