Lyrics
The Vikings are coming You'd better get ready For we're having a fight The longboats are coming It's looking like their? In the dead of the night

Muster the men from all the villages You'd better get ready To fight with your enemies

Beacons are burning I'm giving the word To get ready to fight The battle is nearing You'd better get ready To fight for your lives

Muster the men from all the villages You'd better get ready To fight with your enemies

The Norsemen are coming The Norsemen are coming The warnings are given The Norsemen are coming

The Norsemen are coming The Norsemen are coming The warnings are given The Norsemen are coming

Raping and pillaging Robbing and looting the land Raping and pillaging Robbing and looting the land

Viking raiders from afar Oh

The Norsemen are coming The Norsemen are coming The warnings are given The Norsemen are coming

The Norsemen are coming The Norsemen are coming The warnings are given The Norsemen are coming

Raping and pillaging Robbing and looting the land Raping and pillaging Robbing and looting the land

Viking raiders from afar Oh, yeah
