Lyrics: 
 
Longboats have been sighted the evidence of war has begun 
Many Nordic fighting men their swords and shields all gleam in the sun 
Call to arms defend yourself 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 
Bebeath the blazing sun 
The battle has to be won 
Invaders...Pillaging 
Invaders...Looting 
 
Set ablaze the campfires alert the other men from inland 
Warning must be given there's not enough men here for a stand 
The Vikings are too many 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 mighty Norsemen 
 
You'd better scatter and run 
The battle lost and not won 
You'd better get away 
To fight another day 
Invaders...Raping 
Invaders...Plundering
