Lyrics

I watch the sky turning black
 And know the time is fast approaching
 My clan they all look to me
 I turn away, I face the ocean
 In the dark I see a fleet of long-ships on the horizon
 Again the Vikings come, to this land they are a poison
 Archers ready your bows, swordsmen ready your blades
 Gods be with us this night, as we stop this barbarian raids
 Their boats now pulled to shore
 Scrawny men pour forth from the hull
 Their faces look ailing and drawn
 But their minds are bent on the cull
 On they come, these viking raiders, pale and grey
 With withered bodies and swords to slay
 Charging forth, from filthy ships, towards our line
 But we are butchers and they are our swine
 By ready men, they fast approach, the time is here
 Stand firm at your line and show to fear
 From the north, this army comes, to raid our lands
 But instead tonight they will die by Gaelic hands
 I give the call to attack, and we charge towards the Vikings
 Arrows scream over head, and begin this night of killing
 I watch as the armies collide, flesh and bone gets torn asunder
 So many of my warriors die, as they stop viking plunder
 In the distance I see, their leader so wretched and vile
 Leading his men with pride, I see his weakness and I smile
 Caught up in his stupor of greed, I slice his head from his neck
 His cowardly men run away, victory is ours this day
