Lyrics

[Verse 1]
At dawn's first light
Run for your lives
[Verse 2]
Viking ships come out of the mist
Ominous sight
Flee or stand fast you won't last
Warlords invade with axe and blade
Attack at first light
Unstoppable force, no remorse
[Verse 3]
Under attack, no turning back
You cannot run
Nowhere to hide, no shelter inside
Under attack, no turning back
Slaughter's begun
Nowhere to hide, no shelter inside
[Verse 4]
Slashing, killing
Thrashing, spilling
Blood for honour
Death and glory!
[Verse 5]
Out of the night
At dawn's first light
Longships arrive
Run for your lives!
[Verse 6]
Wounds won't mend, your bitter end
Death to all
Flee or fight, no one survives
Bloodshed won't stop till the last drop
You will fall
It matters not how hard you fought
[Verse 7]
Under attack, no turning back
You cannot run
Nowhere to hide, no shelter inside
Under attack, no turning back
Slaughter's begun
Nowhere to hide, no shelter inside
[Verse 8]
Slashing, killing
Thrashing, spilling
Blood for honour
Death and glory!
[Verse 9]
The ships bring terror to these shores
Death and all out war
Their oars are cutting through the waves
Like spades are digging graves
[Verse 10]
At dawn's first light
Run for your lives
[Verse 11]
Out of the night
At dawn's first light
Longships arrive
Run for your lives!
