Invaders lyrics

[from the Iron Maiden album "The Number of the Beast"]

[Bonus Track]

[Harris]

Longboats have been sighted 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

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

Set ablaze the campfires 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

They're coming over the hill
they've come to attack
they're coming in for the kill
there's no turning back
Invaders ... Fighting
Invaders ... Marauding

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 death and burning flesh the battle weary 
light to the end
The Saxons have been overpowered victims of the mighty 
Norsemen

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
