Lindisfarne Castle

I am a victorious Viking sailing along the Northumbria coastline
On a mission to raid a fortress
On the banks of the salty brine
Having travelled wild & afar
Guided by the sun & the north star

My mighty men & I are natives from Norway
We have been aboard ‘Skidbladnir’, for five weeks & a day
She is my strong, sturdy longship
Made of very fine timber oaks
It houses all my cargo with seventeen burly blokes

We sing & we chant by the light of our moon
All are eagerly excited for what befalls us at noon
No enemy will see us, we have meticulously planned our attacks
We are ready to conquer this castle with our steel swords & iron scabbards on our backs

God help the Northumbria’s they will ne’er get a chance
Battle-axing them all, bloodshed thru our advance
We will claim this stone fortress
As we will own this ‘Holy lands’
victory for the Vikings 
With our shields in our hands
Fearsome fighters, warriors are we
The most Notorious navigators 
Triumphant in glory
