LONGSHIPS
(Dudley-Brian Smith, © 1989, BMI)
The mist is on the water; the half-moon is still;
Fires from the village burn against the chill
The watchman is sleeping – no one hears them ‘til
It’s too late to run, but you run for the hills!
Longships are coming you’d better beware
Longships are coming be prepared.
The warnings were given; danger’s on the rise.
You’d better be ready by the rising of the tide.
The signals are clear, but too many close their eyes.
Only a few remember what was prophesied.
Sure destruction – certain doom;
Only those who are ready escape the tomb.
