Foreboding omens descended upon Northumbria
Whirlwind violent storms followed by famine
Then the homeland had to be fought for more disaster
Heathens laid waste to Lindisfarne and so it began
Thelbria central location perfect for more heathen raiding
Gails and Picts rose up to fight them not to be the Norsemen kept invading
Macalpine and the Picts united and the Alba was born
More chaos Summerled beat Godred life and limb the clans were torn
Seething Stuarts took exception to the free prince
Bargarron sorted the up start out
Godred returns reclaims the Iles now who's the prince
Still had to bow to the Norwegian crown still just a lout no doubt
King Haakon ruled the Celtic kingdom while warring clans battled on
Pushing through hell will it ever end but the end is nigh so stay strong
King Alexander rose up through the ashes all the bloodshed worthwhile
I am here Haakon and I'm taking you to war time for you to go into exile
Welcoming one and all through an open door
Delusional and misguided chaos erodes the rule of law
Let them through from under duress respect our home may we stress
Bloodshed will be worthwhile for those who want to see our bodies pile
Bloodshed will be worthwhile
