Track Listing[]

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

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

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

Viking raiders from afar
Oh, yeah
