Invaders Lyrics

Longboats have been sighted
And the evidence of war has begun
Many Nordic fighting men
Their swords and shields gleam in the sun

Call to arms, defend yourselves
Get ready to stand and fight for your lives
Judgment 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
Beneath the blazing sun
The battle has to be won
Invaders, pillaging, invaders, looting

Set ablaze the campfires
And alert the other men from inland
Warning must be given
That there's not enough men here for a stand

The Vikings are too many much
Too powerful to take on our own
We must have reinforcements
[ Iron Maiden Lyrics are found on www.songlyrics.com ]
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 the mighty Norsemen

You'd better scatter and run
The battle's lost and not won
You'd better get away to fight another day
Invaders, raping, invaders, plundering

Longboats have been sighted
And the evidence of war has begun
Many Nordic fighting men
