Bruce Dickinson - Invaders lyrics

[Verse 1] Longboats have been sighted And the evidence of war has begun Many Nordic fighting men Their swords and shields all gleam in the sun Call to arms defend yourselves Get ready to stand and fight for your lives Judgement day has come around So be prepared - don't run - stand your ground [Chorus 1] 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! [Verse 2] Set ablaze the campfires and alert the other men from inland Warning must be given there's not enough men here for a stand The Vikings are too many, too powerful to take on our own We must have reinforcements, we cannot fight this battle alone [Chorus 2] They're coming over the hill They've come to attack They're coming in for the k** There's no turning back Invaders... Fighting! Invaders... Marauding! [Verse 3] 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 d**h and burning flesh the battle weary fight to the end The Saxons have been overpowered victims of the mighty Norsemen [Chorus 3] 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!
