Longboats have been sighted 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
Judgment day has come around so be prepared don't run stand your ground
They're coming in from the sea
They've come the enemy
Beneath the blazing sun
The battle has to be won
Invaders, pillaging
Invaders, looting
Set ablaze the campfires alert the other men from inland
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're coming over the hill
They've come to attack
They're coming in for the kill
There's no turning back
Invaders
Fighting
Invaders
Marauding
Axes grind and maces clash as wounded fighters fall to the ground
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
You'd better scatter and run
The battle's lost and not won
You'd better get away to fight another day
Invaders
Raping
Invaders
Plundering
Many Nordic fighting men their swords and shields all gleam in the sun

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.
