They came across the Atlantic sea
In the time of 783AD
To stamp their name in history
Devouring every monastery
Vikings by name, Kings by nature
Britain now had a new future
The Gods of Odin and Thor
Were now upon Britains shore
In the footsteps the barbarians walked
And settled in their capital, York
In 871AD Britain had a new fate
Britain would be freed by Alfred The Great
He was the first Anglo Saxon King
And freedom to the land he would bring
But the Vikings expanded their empire
Leaving a trail of burning fire
In 981AD The Vikings fled from Greenland
To a new native foreign land
America they briefly came
And soon the natives knew there name
‘Vikings' the Scavenging wolfs of the ocean
Barbarian pirates without emotion
But like history clearly tells
An expanding empire often fails
And while the Normans attacked
And Britains courage never lacked
And the Native Indians thought them well
The Vikings soon were sent to Hell!
And by the end of the 11th Century
The Viking were soon a memory.
