[Verse]

Em
Longboats have been sighted
C D Em
And the evidence of war has begun many Nordic fighting men
C D Em
Their swords and shields all gleam in the sun call to arms defend yourselves
C D Em
Get ready to stand and fight for your lives judgement day has come around
C D Em
So be prepared don’t run stand your ground
B E/G# A
They’re coming in from the sea
B E/G# A
They’ve come the enemy
B E/G# A
Beneath the blazing sun
B E/G# A
The battle has to be won

[Chorus]

D# G# D# G#
Invaders pillaging!
D# G# D# G# Em
Invaders looting!

[Verse 2]

Em C D Em
Set ablaze the campfires and alert the other men from inland
C D Em
Warning must be given and there’s not enough men here for a stand
C D Em
The Vikings are too many, much too powerful to take on our own
C D Em
We must have reinforcements, we cannot fight this battle alone
B E/G# A
They’re coming over the hill
B E/G# A
They’ve come to attack
B E/G# A
They’re coming in for the kill
B E/G# A
There’s no turning back

[Chorus 2]

D# G# D# G#
Invaders Fighting!
D# G# D# G# Em
Invaders Marauding!

[Verse 3]

Em C D Em
Axes grind and maces clash as wounded fighters fall to the ground
C D Em
Severed limbs and fatal woundings bloody corpses lay all around
C D Em
The smell of death and burning flesh the battle-weary fight to the end
C D Em
The Saxons have been overpowered victims of the mighty Norsemen
B E/G# A
You’d better scatter and run
B E/G# A
The battle’s lost and not won
B E/G# A
You’d better get away
B E/G# A
To fight another day

[Chorus 3]

D# G# D# G#
Invaders Raping!
D# G# D# G#
Invaders Plundering!
