lyrics

I hate word of such time has come
but if it's time to run
then we are
we are
those sails on the horizon sun
we should be farther from
than we are
we are

they say heroes will win the war
we will defend the shore
but we won't
we don't
no way we could live through it all
once they get through the wall
we're gone
we're done

we can wait for the sun
they will rape everyone
if they break beyond the shore
and they'll take our gods

if fate would've been kind at all
we wouldn't find it out
once they're done they're done
that day as they run through the wine
with their new concubines
they won
they won

we can wait for the sun
they will rape everyone if they break beyond the shore
and they'll take our sons
and they'll make your daughters whore** and the rest are left
everybody else dead

**Please note, this song is a fictional story about an ancient Viking siege told from the perspective of a deserter justifying desertion just before the siege. In no way is it intended to glorify rape or demean women. Its a reflection on the atrocities that happen during wartime, and the literal hateful nature of it all.
