You walk through the subway His eyes burn a hole in your back A footstep behind you He lunges prepared for attack Scream for mercy He laughs as he's watching you bleed Killer behind you His blood lust defies all his needs My innocent victims Are slaughtered with wrath and despise The mocking religion Of hatred that burns in the night I have no one I'm bound to destroy all this greed A voice inside me Compelling to satisfy me I can see What a knife's meant to be You'll never know How I came to forsee, see, see My faith in believing Is stronger than lifelines and ties The glimmer of metal My moment is ready to strike The death call arises A scream breaks the still of the night Another tomorrow Remember to walk in the light I have found you And now there is no place to run Excitement shakes me Oh God help me what have I done? I've done it again You walk through the subway My eyes burn a hole in your back A footstep behind you He lunges prepared for attack Scream for mercy He laughs as he's watching you bleed Killer behind you My blood lust defies all my needs Ooh look out, I'm coming for you

Longboats have been sighted and the evidence of war has begun Many Nordic fighting men Their swords and shields 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 and alert the other men from inland Warning must be given That 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
