Dream Theater - Invaders lyrics

Longboats have been sighted
And the evidence of war has begun
Many Nordic fighting men
Their swords and shields 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 and alert
The other men from inland
Warning must be given and there's not
Enough men here for a stand
The Vikings are too many
Much 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​ fight 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
