Amon Amarth - The Beheading Of A King lyrics

Artist: Amon Amarth

album: Fate of Norns


A mighty fleet came across the strait
But Erik was prepared
500 Germans had come to his aid
On horsebacks with their spears
The fleet was carrying 2000 men
Eager to draw blood
But as they were about to land
Erik released his hoards
1000 men and 500 horsemen
Came charging down the beach
When the sea-king saw this force
He gave the order to retreat
All obeyed except one ship
It held the king's own son
He despised the thought of flight
And attacked on his own
The Danish fleet had to turn around
They charged King Erik's men
But it was too late to save his son
His life was already spent
The fighting continued bloody and fierce
And the bloodshed was immense
2000 warriors died that day
Most of them were Danes
The Danish king was captured
Most of his guards were dead
For a ransom he was released
Then his people took his head
