The Berserker At Stamford Bridge lyrics

We had marched all night long

Now silently we stood upon the ridge

An army of fifteen thousand strong

Looking down at Stamford Bridge

The English stood on the hill

Caught off guard we had to retreat

The omens of this day boded ill

The river cold and wide lay at our feet

One man walked out on the bridge

With Dane axe held firm in his mighty hand

Alone he stood against our foes

A giant Berserker of a man

Charge! The order to attack

Nothing now can hold us back

Our entire force pours down the slope

Now, abandon all of your hope

Death! Move in for the kill

Today Norsemen blood will spill

Englishmen! I am waiting here

In my heart I know not an ounce of fear

We are waiting here my trusted axe and me

Just come at me, I will not flee

Death! I know that it awaits

Soon I will enter Valhalla's gates!

On the bridge we met his axe

While he stood, none could pass

His axe cut deep, through flesh and bone

He held the bridge all on his own

Forty men, died by his steel

The only way we could make him kneel

Was to send four men out on the stream

And sting the bastard from beneath

From Beneath
