At Dawn's First Light
At dawn's first lightRun for your lives
Viking ships come out of the mistOminous sightFlee or stand fastYou won't last
Warlords invade with axe and bladeAttack at first lightUnstoppable forceNo remorse
Under attack, no turning backYou cannot runNowhere to hideNo shelter inside
Under attack, no turning backSlaughter's begunNowhere to hideNo shelter inside
Slashing, killingThrashing, spillingBlood for honor, death, and glory!
Out of the nightAt dawn's first lightLongships arriveRun for your lives!
Wounds won't mend your bitter endDeath to allFlee or fightNo one survives
Bloodshed won't stop'Til the last dropYou will fallIt matters not how hard you fought
Under attack, no turning backYou cannot runNowhere to hideNo shelter inside
Under attack, no turning backSlaughter's begunNowhere to hideNo shelter inside
Slashing, killingThrashing, spillingBlood for honor, death, and glory!
The ships bring terror to these shoresDeath and all out warTheir oars are cutting through the wavesLike spades are digging graves
At dawn's first lightRun for your lives
Out of the nightAt dawn's first lightLongships arriveRun for your lives!
