20,000 Spears Lyrics

Chanted hymns of war
Land on northern shore
Christian men from Rome
Far away from home

Come to convert one
To their hallowed son
Those that would deny
They would surely die

At the edge of sword
Or the edge of spear
Worship their one lord
Claim their god you fear

Convert or die they say
Forcing all to pray
They would not survive
If they ran for their lives

20,000 spears
Marching endlessly
Men who know no fear
Death and hell they bring!

Meeting them head on
We the northern sons
Cannot idle by
These Christians must die

Brought by Odin's might
Many men to fight
Atgeir pierce the light
Shields on each mans right

The legion turns its head
Those that don't are dead
Axes through the air
Skulls split flesh made bare

Marching towards us
Feeding a Vikings lust
Line by line they plod
In the name of their god

20,000 spears
Marching endlessly
Men who know no fear
Death and hell they bring!

They charge
We stand
Shield wall made of thousands

Holding
Striking
Norsemen feed them steel death

Bodies
Bloodied
Few who knew of Midgard

Many
Roman
Fall in the name of Christ

Mercy
For none
Not a soul turns to run

Hacking
Stabbing
Slash, Smash and Impaling

Splintered
Shattered
Shields, smashed and bones alike

Too many
Too strong
