========= Berserker LYRICS ==========

Far from the north, as they came down the river
Ships moving forth, they descended on York
Threat to the crown, the invasion was met from the south
March through the town, onto the bridge

1, 2, 3, 4, all around him they’re falling
5, 6, 7, 8, 40 facing the axe

Fighting, halls of Valhalla waiting, never surrender
Slay them, berserker rage and mayhem, over the river
He’s fighting, halls of Valhalla waiting, never surrender
Slay them, facing the charge alone

Blood they will bring, form a shield wall to face them
Death of a king, make a stand for revenge
Heeding the call, as the fallen in battle remain
Enter the hall, to the home of the slain

On that day in September
As the end of an era draws near
Will the future remember
How it ended, a Berserker pierced by a spear

========= Historic Fact ==========

Berserkers were fearsome Norse warriors famed for their ferocity in battle. Old Norse accounts link them to Odin and describe them entering a frenzied state known as berserksgangr, fighting with extraordinary fury. Legend has it that during the Battle of Stamford Bridge in 1066, a lone Viking warrior held the bridge against the English army and killed numerous soldiers before being struck from below by a spear. His death allowed the English to advance and ultimately defeat Harald Hardrada’s army, in a battle often seen as marking the end of the Viking Age in England.

  1. Other Vikings: Damn we are being ambushed! Better gear up way too slowly.

    This Gigachad: (The most guttural warcry imaginable as he charges almost naked armed with only axes)

  2. i discovered this band only recently, and i can't help but feel that i arrived too late. It is truly regrettable to have missed the opportunity to experience their music at the right time.

  3. I don’t know how to explain it as a Sabaton fan who’s looked into the subject, but after listening to it a few times, I think ‘too frantic’ is the right way to describe the composition.🤔
    I think the description – or rather, the aim – for this song, given its theme, should have been more along the lines of ‘psychotic frenzy’ (in the sense of the recent PCP police reports).

  4. Not going to be played deliberately by me, and nobody else need agree. I really don’t like the Pat a Pan drum drowning Joakim’s voice for me. Celebration of a psycho invader isn’t my cup of mead either. I think I’ll stick to The Last Stand, Templars, and Winged Hussars for which I thank Sabaton frequently and recommend!

  5. This is about the lone Swede Viking at the Stamford Bridge in 1066, for those who didn’t know.
    Everyone died but this absolute stud stood his ground and slayed until his end
