"Barbarian" lyrics - THE DARKNESS

THE DARKNESS
"Barbarian"
(Dan Hawkins)

[Intro: Spoken Word]
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

[Verse 1: Justin Hawkins]
Remorseless Norsemen swim ashore
The Eastern coast belongs to us no more

[Pre-Chorus:]
Shirtless in the rain
The Heathen army's upon us, once again
Led by the sons of Ragnar

[Chorus:]
Barbarian
Ah
Barbarian
Ah

[Verse 2: Justin Hawkins]
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

[Chorus:]
Barbarian
Ah (We are the sons of Ragnar)
Barbarian
Ah (We are the sons of Ragnar)

[Spoken Word]
Reducing the feeble citadels
To ashes and blood stain
Enslaving the sweet women-folk
Whilst every man is slain
We'll spare perhaps a child, or two
That our legend may grow
And take your precious horses
Leave your corpses in the snow
We'll march onward to Mercia
And carve the land a scar
In case you all were wondering
We are the sons of Ragnar!

[Solo]

[Chorus:]
Barbarian
Ah (We are the sons of Ragnar)
Barbarian
Ah (We are the sons of Ragnar)
