Great Heathen Army

(????) Throw the pagan king into this pit of serpents He was a threat to Ella’s greed See the heathens rise and fight for honor Tyr will guide us into rightful victory Take the Saxons, make them beg and plead for mercy For they will come to cleanse our sins From the shores we see the Saxon army See the raven fly – it’s Odin by our side Seeking revenge the Heathen Army They’ll bring the empire to its knees The pagans strike, the Saxons fall Show no mercy, make them crawl... One thousand heathens breach the gates Pray to your God, you’ll meet your faith Your kingdom’s falling one by one We take control, nowhere to run... Fourteen years Ironside and Brethren battled Their blades are stained with nobles’ blood From the hoard we hear destiny calling Marching to the gates we see Valhalla Seeking revenge the Heathen Army They’ll bring the empire to its knees The pagans strike, the Saxons fall Show no mercy, make them crawl... Seeking revenge the Heathen Army They’ll bring the empire to its knees The pagans strike, the Saxons fall Show no mercy, make them crawl...
