Vengence By The Sons Of A King Lyrics
Thor's hammer filled the sky
While waves wrecked his ship
Our fathers were bitten by vipers
Then cast into a pit
If only King Aella knew what he had done
He would have saved his own life from Ragnar's sons
Now we ride
On horseback may our banners fly
We ride
To York where the king will die
Led by a boneless man on a throne made of steel
Lame he may be
But his arrows they'll feel
Punish the king
York now a town of red
Only Aella to attack
Revenge was brought by an eagle carved in his back
Land was given to us in reparation
The king wanted us not to destroy his nation
Our banners fort was built in the kings land
His own warriors would help us make
The final stand
Blood will be shed
By your own hand
Revenge by the Ragnar's sons
Led by a boneless man on a throne made of steel
Lame he may be
But his arrows they'll feel
Punish the king
York now a town of red
Only Aella to attack
Revenge was brought by an eagle carved in his back
(x3)
While waves wrecked his ship
Our fathers were bitten by vipers
Then cast into a pit
If only King Aella knew what he had done
He would have saved his own life from Ragnar's sons
On horseback may our banners fly
We ride
To York where the king will die
Lame he may be
But his arrows they'll feel
Punish the king
York now a town of red
Only Aella to attack
Revenge was brought by an eagle carved in his back
The king wanted us not to destroy his nation
Our banners fort was built in the kings land
His own warriors would help us make
Blood will be shed
By your own hand
Revenge by the Ragnar's sons
Lame he may be
But his arrows they'll feel
Punish the king
York now a town of red
Only Aella to attack
Revenge was brought by an eagle carved in his back
(x3)
