Viking Slayer lyrics

Artist  : Cruachan 
Song : Viking Slayer



 Send "Viking Slayer" Ringtone to your Cell 

 
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
