Dominus Praelii - Battle of Stamford Bridge lyrics

Three hundred ships sailing up the River Humper To take by force the city of York. After the conquer Harald marched out his army To the battle of the bridge Stamford The closer the English get, the greatest it seems to grow And their glittering weapons sparkled like a field of broken ice Fight! Fight side by side Fight! Die before surrender For a time a single Viking kept the bridge safe k**ing any soldier who tried to get on his way When the English came across the Northmen resisted Attacked by all sides, their brave King opened the path Fight! Fight side by side Fight! Die before surrender But King Harald was k**ed and his brother Tostigs took command King Godwinsson offered him a deal, but he said: - We'd rather fall, than accept a quarter from a English man From 300 ships, were left 24 And those men were alive, because Harold let them go They were never defeated in ground like this before And to this part of England, they were coming no more
