Danish brothers they raided the shores
Every year they came, evermore
Danegeld for the lives of the brave
Could halt the warriors march to the grave.

On the field of Maldon that morn
The English stood and a legend was born.
On the field of Maldon that morn
The English stood and a legend was born.

Two hosts readied, the scene was set
Hearts were steadied , as battle was met
Earl Byrthnoth made his stand
As blood was spilt for the English land.

At Maldon
At Maldon
At Maldon
At Maldon.

The carls did stand on that fateful day
At their feet the Earl did lay
They could have run, turned and fled
Instead they stood, then fought and bled.

Shield met shield in a widow's wall
Swords swung and axes did fall
Brave men fell and ravens did fly
As the Valkyries swept from the Sky.

On the field of Maldon that morn
The English stood and a legend was born.
On the field of Maldon that morn
The English stood and a legend was born.

Steeped in honour and duty bound
Refused to leave, they stood their ground
Hearts grow keener as strength fails
Courage the greater as death prevails.

At Maldon
At Maldon
At Maldon
At Maldon.

The carls did stand on that fateful day
Aat their feet the Earl did lay
They could have run, turned and fled
Instead they stood, then fought and bled,
Fought and bled
Fought and bled.
