As the shadows fall above me And the clouds black out the sun The Great Heathen Army stands before me Clashing their shields and bearing their blades Whispers of madness, the demons come for us The light of God, truly has decayed The sons of Ragnar, here for bloody vengeance The hateful children come to play The King is dead Taken by the pagan Sacrificed to heathen gods The blood eagle, screaming Down into a pit of snakes A devils king, torn asunder As the dead litter the ground And my brothers lie bloody before me The demons come, wicked, and sinful The Great Heathen Army pours forth Cometh the Boneless, stained, his crimson flesh As the city walls crumble before me The Devils legions have taken all we have Our cries for God, empty echoes, heard by none The King is dead Taken by the pagan Sacrificed to heathen gods The blood eagle, screaming Down into a pit of snakes A devils king, torn asunder As we march into the hinterlands of Wessex Thunder claps in the sky as it darkens above us Our gods are with us, Thor cries a battlecry in the heavens Odin strikes his mighty fist, summoning us to war We march to victory, to death We march for vengeance, for our fallen king We march for blood, to war my brothers For glory awaits us in the great halls of Valhalla
