Songtext von Canute the Great

Now that I fight With might and main The Danish troops I'll leed to fame Now I survey the lands Where I may stride The English soil I'm a King of Danish pride You have plundered the whole Isle of Man To become a greater king And you murdered guiltless families In the massacre of all Danish men Aethelred. Oh Aethelred It's my will to fight and see you dead My troops are Viking warriors And we sail the river Themse Now that I fight With might and main The Danish troops I'll lead to fame Now I survey the lands Where I may stride The English soil I'm a King of Danish pride Forked Beard my father I habe sailed the way you led To England on my Dragons And I avanged all the dead In Ashington, it was Ironside I slayed his troops it served him right Father, we took the lands And we sailed the river Themse Now that I rule With might and main The Danish kingdom I lead to fame Now that I own the lands Where I may stride The English soil The King of Danish pride Canute the Great Canute the Great Canute the Great Canute the Great
