The bodies were bloated, gray, and covered in blood
Floating on the surface, after invading Saxon shores
The Viking ships burned to the waterline, no escape
Slain at the shore, bodies now still, and stuck in mud
Failed attacks a reminder, to all those who'd ignore
Wars between tribes no way to live, all hope forsake
Let the wise make use of knowing the Saxon shores
No place to wander as they destroy ordinary men
