At Dawn's First Light

At dawn's first light

Run for your lives

Viking ships come out of the mist

Ominous sight

Flee or stand fast you won't last

Warlords invade with axe and blade

Attack at first light

Unstoppable force, no remorse

Under attack, no turning back

You cannot run

Nowhere to hide, no shelter inside

Under attack, no turning back

Slaughter's begun

Nowhere to hide, no shelter inside

Slashing, killing

Thrashing, spilling

Blood for honour

Death and glory!

Out of the night

At dawn's first light

Longships arrive

Run for your lives!

Wounds won't mend, your bitter end

Death to all

Flee or fight, no one survives

Bloodshed won't stop till the last drop

You will fall

It matters not how hard you fought

Under attack, no turning back

You cannot run

Nowhere to hide, no shelter inside

Under attack, no turning back

Slaughter's begun

Nowhere to hide, no shelter inside

Slashing, killing

Thrashing, spilling

Blood for honour

Death and glory!

The ships bring terror to these shores

Death and all out war

Their oars are cutting through the waves

Like spades are digging graves

At dawn's first light

Run for your lives

Out of the night

At dawn's first light

Longships arrive

Run for your lives!
