Fever Ray If I had a heart Vikings Soundtrack
This will never end
Cause I want more
More, give me more, give me more
If I had a heart I could love you
If I had a voice I would sing
After the night when I wake up
I'll see what tomorrow brings
If I had a voice I would sing
Dangling feet from window frame
Will I ever ever reach the floor?
More, give me more, give me more
Crushed and filled with all I found underneath and inside
Just to come around
More, give me more, give me more
If I had a voice I would sing . . .

AMSTERDAM, Buitenhuizen Noordzeekanaal - The Viking Sky, now with destination Hamburg, was three weeks ago in problems near Norway.
Solar, the sculpture Sun Voyage in Reykjavik/Iceland by the artist Jón Gunnar Árnason (1931–1989) was made of stainless steel in 1986. The work depicts a Viking ship and is now one of the most visited sights in the city.
To go a viking was the call
To be answered by Norsemen blonde and tall
And so they rode the dragon boats
The powers of Thor and Odin they did invoke
Once more upon a foreign shore
Spared not the weak who did emplore
For mercy from untimely death
A viking was a raid unto death
The weak and feeble felt the axe
Even the strong had no hope to match
The power of its savage bite
And when the blow fell death came in sight
Of those yet to fall
Delivered by a norseman tall
Few were spared and taken slave
To labour for their remaining days
Then the longships turned once more for home
Few Norsemen dead no more to roam
There is a name for what they did
To Go A Viking
Pic By Pammy
Longboats have been sighted,
The evidence of war has begun,
Many nordic fighting men,
Their swords and shields all gleam in the sun.
Call to arms defend yourselves,
Get ready to stand and fight for your lives,
Judgement day has come around,
So be prepared don't run stand your ground.
They're coming in from the sea,
They've come the enemy.
Beneath the blazing sun,
The battle has to be won.

Looting
Set ablaze the camp fires,
Alert the other men from inland.
Warning must be given,
There's not enough men for a stand.
The Vikings are too many,
Too powerful to take on our own.
We must have reinforcements,
We cannot fight this battle alone.
They're coming over the hill,
They've come to attack.
They're coming in for the kill,
There's no turning back.

Fighting

Marauding
Axes grind and maces clash,
As wounded fighters fall to the ground.
Severed limbs and fatal woundings,
Bloody corpses lay all around.
The smell of death and burning flesh,
The battle weary fight to the end.
The Saxons have been overpowered,
Victims of the mighty Norsemen.
You'd better scatter and run.
The battle's lost and not won.
You'd better get away,
To fight another day.

St. Patricks Chapel is on the coast of Morecambe Bay, a ruined building that stands on a sandstone headland above St Peter's Church in Heysham, Lancashire, UK.
It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade I listed building and is a Scheduled Ancient Monument owned by The National Trust. The legend is that this is where St.Patrick landed from Ireland, but there is no evidence.
The ruin is Saxon, dating from the 8th or 9th century, while St. Peter's Church is also Saxon, consecrated in 967 AD.
Near the Chapel is this group of six rock-cut Tombs, each with an associated socket probably for a timber cross. These are Viking tombs, thought not to be for a single person but instead a high-status Ossuary. The tombs were once covered with heavy rock slabs, now lost.
It's a remarkable, beautiful and atmospheric site.
These tombs featured on the cover of Black Sabbath's album The Best of Black Sabbath, released in 2000.
The Viking Age (793–1066 AD) was the period during the Middle Ages when Norsemen known as Vikings undertook large-scale raiding, colonizing, conquest, and trading throughout Europe, and reached North America.
It followed the Migration Period and the Germanic Iron Age.[7] The Viking Age applies not only to their homeland of Scandinavia, but to any place significantly settled by Scandinavians during the period.[3] The Scandinavians of the Viking Age are often referred to as Vikings as well as Norsemen, although few of them were Vikings in the technical sense.
Voyaging by sea from their homelands in Denmark, Norway and Sweden, the Norse people settled in the British Isles, Ireland, the Faroe Islands, Iceland, Greenland, Normandy, the Baltic coast, and along the Dnieper and Volga trade routes in eastern Europe, where they were also known as Varangians. They also briefly settled in Newfoundland, becoming the first Europeans to reach North America. The Norse-Gaels, Normans, Rus' people, Faroese and Icelanders emerged from these Norse colonies.
The Vikings founded several kingdoms and earldoms in Europe: the kingdom of the Isles (Suðreyjar), Orkney (Norðreyjar), York (Jórvík) and the Danelaw (Danalǫg), Dublin (Dyflin), Normandy, and Kievan Rus' (Garðaríki). The Norse homelands were also unified into larger kingdoms during the Viking Age, and the short-lived North Sea Empire included large swathes of Scandinavia and Britain.
Several things drove this expansion. The Vikings were drawn by the growth of wealthy towns and monasteries overseas, and weak kingdoms. They may also have been pushed to leave their homeland by overpopulation, lack of good farmland, and political strife arising from the unification of Norway. The aggressive expansion of the Carolingian Empire and forced conversion of the neighboring Saxons to Christianity may also have been a factor.
Sailing innovations had allowed the Vikings to sail further and longer to begin with.
Information about the Viking Age is drawn largely from primary sources written by those the Vikings encountered, as well as archaeology, supplemented with secondary sources such as the Icelandic Sagas.
