Clash upon the Saxon Shores

A red confluence of rivers
Massive is the flow after battle
The churning waters turned crimson

The life blood of heroes now a flood

Prayers swirl like snow in a blizzard
Sacred grounds of death made a chapel
Human waves pushed for extinction

The purple masses burned now turned ash

The Danes ambushed at night by order of the king
The Saxons act with shield and axe with brutality
Now is the hour of shield wall breaking

Some die, few are valiant, others flee to Valhalla

The winds of the coming storm singing
The God Ares revels in the mortality
Covered in blood, the land is shaking

Sacred shadows remain, their sacrifices echo

"So many died in an area so small that the field 
was said to have been still whitened with bleached 
bones 50 years after the battle"
