The Battle Hymn of Forkbeard

to the tune of Battle Hymn of the Republic

Mine eyes have seen the gory bits that the axes leave behind,
There are brains and spleens and limbs galore for you and me to find.
They were put there by our Viking Lord as Dane Geld, paid in kind!
For Sven is marching on.

Glory, glory mutilation
Glory, glory mutilation
Glory, glory mutilation
For Sven is marching on

He has loosed hit fatal dragon prows from Scandinavias shore.
He's demanding Saxon silver more and more and more.
And if they won't pay up he'll let us wade through tons of gore
For Sven is marching on.

Glory, glory mutilation
Glory, glory mutilation
Glory, glory mutilation
For Sven is marching on

He's burning burghs and villages and taking Saxon slaves.
They think he is the devil and try to hide in caves.
Some day his son will even try to turn back all the waves
For Sven is marching on.

Glory, glory mutilation
Glory, glory mutilation
Glory, glory mutilation
For Sven is marching on

Sven is now acclaimed as King, over there and over here.
The people they will love him and will hold him very dear.
And if rebellion lurks inside, he'll slice them ear to ear
For Sven is marching on

Glory, glory mutilation
Glory, glory mutilation
Glory, glory mutilation
For Sven is marching on
