At Dawn’s First Light

At dawn's first light Run for your lives 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 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 Slashing, killing Thrashing, spilling Blood for honor, death, and glory! Out of the night At dawn's first light Longships arrive Run for your lives! Wounds won't mend your bitter end Death to all Flee or fight No one survives Bloodshed won't stop 'Til the last drop You will fall It matters not how hard you fought 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 Slashing, killing Thrashing, spilling Blood for honor, death, and glory! The ships bring terror to these shores Death and all out war Their oars are cutting through the waves Like spades are digging graves At dawn's first light Run for your lives Out of the night At dawn's first light Longships arrive Run for your lives!
