The Great Heathen Army
His deeds were many
And great his fame
many Kings feared
The mention of his name
Ælla denied him
A Vikings death
Today he feasts in Valhalla
With the fallen ones and the Gods he met
His sons and friends
His life will avenge
They will see Ælla and his
Meet their end
They hit them
hard and hit them fast
They left piles
of flesh upon the grass
The old boar you dared to slay
His little piggies are here to play
The heathen army
Is here today
With your blood and lives
You will pay
The Great heathen army they did bring
to avenge the sea king
one thousand drakkars they put ashore
They littered the ground with blood and gore
Ælla upon his back
A blood eagle we did hack
Split his ribs and his lungs were drawn
That is how our revenge was done.
The old boar you dare to slay
His little piggies are here to play
The heathen army
Is here today
With your blood and lives
You will pay
The heathen army
Is here today
With your blood and lives
You will pay
