Dan Bull - To Valhalla lyrics

Valhalla valhalla

These monsters are godless, no conscience
They'll come for your toddlers, row longships
And throw constant assaults at our coast
Onslaughts of boats, homes torched
Bones broken
And throats opened 'til only Old
Norse is spoken
Flows thawed aboard the ocean so Thor
And Odin float toward our home since they
Landed in Lindisfarne
There's been no calm thus far
They've made plans to do English harm
And then disarm us fast
Decimated our idyllic charm
Laid waste, villages, farms
Pillaged, charred
Time has come to fight from
Dawn until it's dark
Distill our spirit 'til it can't be diluted
Unlike these brutes whose bile is putrid
Highly stupid
It's time to prove their fight for
Food upon our isle is fruitless
If these vikings want violence, we'll do this
By my reign
I proclaim I will make it rain flame
The likes of which no viking
Ships will face again

So they can pray to Freyr
But I'm afraid they'll fail
To create a Danelaw
These raiders' ways are way too frail
They can set sail and head
West against the gales
Aboard Norse longboats with decks
As dense as nails
But they will never prevail
Through our valour
We'll make 'em tuck their tail
Or send them to Valhalla
No, they will never prevail
Through our valour
We'll make 'em tuck their tail
Banish them to Valhalla

These monsters are godless
Mindless and gutless that's not courage
They're just blind from the bloodlust
Previously a city
All we see before us is a burning wreck
There are rules in war
These hordes don't deserve respect
This certain sect's a surging threat
To Mercia's emerging order
That's immersing all of us in mercilessness
Their marauders serve us just deserts
Murderousness is their main course
But barbarians can't compare against
Our trained force
They can send assassins to our
Settlements and sack them
But we'll be sending them straight
Back from whence they came we're Saxons
Every last one of us took his vows
To ruck with those rugged buggers
With the blooded brows

So they can pray to Freyr
But I'm afraid they'll fail
To create a Danelaw
These raiders' ways are way too frail
They can set sail and head
West against the gales
Aboard Norse longboats with decks
As dense as nails
But they will never prevail
Through our valour
We'll make 'em tuck their tail
Or send them to Valhalla
No, they will never prevail
Through our valour
We'll make 'em tuck their tail
Banish them to Valhalla

So they can pray to Freyr
But I'm afraid they'll fail
To create a Danelaw
These raiders' ways are way too frail
They may have laid a trail
Of blood from hidden blades, impaled us
But their godless state will make us safe
Lay your trust in your rightful king
Grit your teeth against the spiteful sting
Of these uncivilized tribes and
Sing the Bible's hymns
Christ will provide, lord almighty
Look at the size of him!
Now our chances fighting vikings
Aren't quite as slim
For every Englishman that's born and died
By the sword of vikings
I'll extinguish another northern light
'Til all that shines is the life's blood
Sliding down their skull from inside
To the mud and-
My god, he's put it right in his eye!

So they can pray to Freyr
But I'm afraid they'll fail
To create a Danelaw
These raiders' ways are way too frail
They can set sail and head
West against the gales
Aboard Norse longboats with decks
As dense as nails
But they will never prevail
Through our valour
We'll make 'em tuck their tail
Or send them to Valhalla
No, they will never prevail
Through our valour
We'll make 'em tuck their tail
Banish them to Valhalla

Banish them to Valhalla to Valhalla
Banish them to Valhalla to Valhalla
