Lyrics 793 - Gwydion

793

Ocean waves crash, cry!
Salty air, stings your eyes
On the low seas, carried by the high winds
By the high winds!
We burst into the unknown, carrying rumble in our hearts
With a firm grasp of sword and shield, we touch the land
Free will and determination, drives us through
Sweeping fight, like an animal beast
Like a dreadful dragon!
Pillaging in search of plunder
Secret relics trampled under
The hands that drew the painted page
Fell prey to the waves raiders rage
Oh lord please liberate your folk
From the north men, furious sword stroke
All in their way, prepare to run
An age of Viking has begun!
Prepare to pick up weapons!
Advance into engagement!
Stand firm… Fight!
Attack!
It was in 793, that evil signs were plain to see
War came like heathen crew
Harbinger of dread, as starvation, true!
Prepare to pick up weapons!
Advance into engagement!
Stand firm… Fight!
Attack!
The church walls were splattered with blood
We pagans, ravaged, with polluted feet
We took the altars down!
Prisoners were taken.
Religious men!
Some we kill!
Some we drown!
Prepare to pick up weapons!
Advance into engagement!
Stand firm… Fight!
Attack!
Pillaging in search of plunder
Secret relics trampled under
The hands that drew the painted page
Fell prey to the waves raiders rage
Oh lord please liberate your folk
From the north men, furious sword stroke
All in their way, prepare to run
An age of Viking has begun!
The age of Viking has begun!
