IRON MAIDEN - Invaders lyrics

rate me

(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 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
