lyrics
They came one cold November morn
Gleaming and glinting in the watery sun
The breath of their horses could have been dragon’s fire
Flags unfurled high above the mire
We watched them with our heads bowed low
Close as we dared, kneeling in the snow
Showing no interest, they looked neither left not right
Gods and heroes heading for some glorious fight
My father spat on the ground as he turned to me
An expression haunting his face that I’d never seen before
They’re no different to us, lad, no matter how much they beat you down
They were born into privilege and trained to fight from birth
But they’ve never fought the land, and never fought the cold
And it’s just by chance that they were born there and we were born here
Another day, another time, another sky
It could have been me, it could have been us
They came like a living stream
Hungry and blooded, eyes a silent scream
Flowing from the East, a trail of the damned
Heralding the coming of the Northmen to our land
We watched them as they begged for food
Helplessly we shrugged, what else could we do?
The little that we had we shared, just a drop in the rain
They might not be the lucky, the ones that remain
My father spat on the ground as he turned to me
An expression haunting his face that I’d never seen before
They’re no different to us, lad, no matter how much you think they are
You were born into family and you’ve been loved from birth
You’ve never felt the whip and never seen the blade
And it’s just by chance that they were born there and we were born here
Another day, another time, another sky
It could have been you, it could have been us
Gleaming and glinting in the watery sun
The breath of their horses could have been dragon’s fire
Flags unfurled high above the mire
We watched them with our heads bowed low
Close as we dared, kneeling in the snow
Showing no interest, they looked neither left not right
Gods and heroes heading for some glorious fight
My father spat on the ground as he turned to me
An expression haunting his face that I’d never seen before
They’re no different to us, lad, no matter how much they beat you down
They were born into privilege and trained to fight from birth
But they’ve never fought the land, and never fought the cold
And it’s just by chance that they were born there and we were born here
Another day, another time, another sky
It could have been me, it could have been us
They came like a living stream
Hungry and blooded, eyes a silent scream
Flowing from the East, a trail of the damned
Heralding the coming of the Northmen to our land
We watched them as they begged for food
Helplessly we shrugged, what else could we do?
The little that we had we shared, just a drop in the rain
They might not be the lucky, the ones that remain
My father spat on the ground as he turned to me
An expression haunting his face that I’d never seen before
They’re no different to us, lad, no matter how much you think they are
You were born into family and you’ve been loved from birth
You’ve never felt the whip and never seen the blade
And it’s just by chance that they were born there and we were born here
Another day, another time, another sky
It could have been you, it could have been us
