The Saxon Shore

Raiders came, from the sea
from the whale's path
Reivers, destroyers
Defilers of the sacred!
Seeking silver, gold and blood
Red sailed dragons glide
From the seal's bath to the golden strand
Goose-fletched arrows flew
Mail piercing, thrusting spears 
Bearded berserkers bearing bearded axes
Shield shattering, skull cleaving 
Death bringing, doom delivering!
 
This time we met them!

Shield to shield
Spear to spear
Axe to axe
Blow for blow
Sword for sword
Cut for cut
Blood for blood
Without remorse
 
We made widows, created orphans
Sent dark souls to Hel or Valhalla
Severed heads and hewed Norse limbs
Washed their boots in Nordic blood
Shields were riven by our anger 
And anger drove our battle zeal

Longships burned, oars lay broken, 
Ashes on the ebbing tide
Vikings fed the crabs and crows
Weapons fell to rot and rust

This day may be forgotten
Our fallen heroes unremembered
Burial mounds flattened by relentless years
But the land remains, the Saxon shore
