The Great Heathen Army lyrics

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
