Barbarian Lyrics
One by one the kingdoms fall
They looked upon this isle, and took it all
Harbingers of pain
Edmund the Martyr cut down by a Dane
On the orders of Ivar the Boneless
Barbarian
Remorseless Norsemen swim ashore
The Eastern coast belongs to us no more
Shirtless in the rain
The heathen army's upon us once again
Led by the sons of Ragnar
Barbarian
Barbarian
One by one the kingdoms fall
They looked upon this isle, and took it all
Harbingers of pain
Edmund the Martyr cut down by a Dane
On the orders of Ivar the Boneless
Barbarian!
We are the sons of Ragnar
Barbarian!
We are the sons of Ragnar
Reducing the feeble citadels to ashes
and bloodstain
Enslaving the sweet women folk
Whilst every man is slain
We'll spare perhaps a child or two
That our legend may grow
We'll take your precious horses
Leave your corpses in the snow
We'll march onward to Mercier
And carve the land a scar
In case you were all wondering
We are the sons of Ragnar
Barbarian!
We are the sons of Ragnar
Barbarian!
We are the sons of Ragnar
They looked upon this isle, and took it all
Harbingers of pain
Edmund the Martyr cut down by a Dane
On the orders of Ivar the Boneless
Barbarian
The Eastern coast belongs to us no more
Shirtless in the rain
The heathen army's upon us once again
Led by the sons of Ragnar
Barbarian
They looked upon this isle, and took it all
Harbingers of pain
Edmund the Martyr cut down by a Dane
On the orders of Ivar the Boneless
We are the sons of Ragnar
Barbarian!
We are the sons of Ragnar
and bloodstain
Enslaving the sweet women folk
Whilst every man is slain
We'll spare perhaps a child or two
That our legend may grow
We'll take your precious horses
Leave your corpses in the snow
We'll march onward to Mercier
And carve the land a scar
In case you were all wondering
We are the sons of Ragnar
We are the sons of Ragnar
Barbarian!
We are the sons of Ragnar

The Hawkins brothers are from East Anglia and this song is based on the history of the area when Edmund the Martyr initially gave land to the Norsemen but they ended up raiding and killing, etc. anyway.
