Invaders Lyrics
the evidence of war has begun
Many Nordic fighting men
their swords and shields all gleam in the sun
Call to arms defend yourselves
get ready to stand and fight for your lives
Judgement day has come around so be prepared
don't run stand your ground
they've come the enemy
beneath the blazing sun
the battle has to be won
Invaders ... Pillaging
Invaders ... Looting
Warning must be given there's not enough men here for a stand
The Vikings are too many much too powerful to take on our own
We must have reinforcements we cannot fight this battle alone
they've come to attack
they're coming in for the kill
there's no turning back
Invaders ... Fighting
Invaders ... Marauding
Severed limbs and fatal woundings bloody corpses lay all around
The smell of death and burning flesh the battle weary fight to the end
The Saxons have been overpowered victims of the mighty Norsemen
the battle's lost and not won
you'd better get away to fight another day
Invaders ... Raping
Invaders ... Plundering
The song is about the Norman conquest of England in 1066 (yes "Norman" is correct). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norman_Conquest
hornpout you're not so smart.

The Normans came from present day Northern France and conquered England in 1066. "Invaders" is about the Vikings raiding the British Islands a couple of centuries before that.

The lyrics clearly mention their longboats, their name "vikings", and where they come from "Norsemen". Normans are not Norsemen lol

William the Conqueror was French and his invasion in 1066 was a turning point in British history. Still it's not what "Invaders" is about.

I hate when people say this or gangland are the low point of NotB. They are both great songs!
A good rock song. I like the lyrics more than the music actually, the lyrics are just cool. The chorus is pretty weird sounding but I like it. All in all not bad, but not a classic.
Rather straight forward, its about the Vikings pillaging English settlements.
Yep. Normans squish England, etc., etc.
Normans??? WTF mate^^ U mean norse or norwegians or vikings or something to that effect. not norman
Sounds a lot like Led Zeppelin's No Quarter. (The lyrics, I mean)
Go Vikings! I've always liked this song, doesn't get much attention
Yeah, no way this is the low point.
