God Save Us From the Viking
(To the Tune of: God Rest ye Merry Gentlemen)
by
Torvald Torgarson
(AS XXXVII)

God save us from the Vikings
Do not let them look this way,
We still have not rebuilt
What they destroyed way back in May
And if they come again
Then we will all just run away
Oh tidings of misery and woe
          Misery woe
Oh tidings of misery and woe

They burned the village to the ground
Not one building survived
They sacked the church most thoroughly
And left no priests alive
We buried what was left of them
While everybody cried
Oh tidings of misery and woe
          Misery woe
Oh tidings of misery and woe

So now we watch for Viking ships
That come from o’er the sea
And pray each night most fervently
That they will let us be
For is they come again
Then we are all just history
Oh tidings of misery and woe
          Misery woe
Oh tidings of misery and woe
