In 1263, when October came |
|
In the west the Scots marched to a war |
|
Hundreds of ships headed towards the coast |
|
Taking the islands under the clouds |
|
A meeting in Arran couldn't bring peace |
|
And so the troops were led by their king |
|
The rest of the fleet approached the land |
|
Passing by Cumbrae and getting to Largs |
|
The Drakkars were surprised |
|
And they ran aground |
|
The Scots took advantage |
|
And launched an assault |
|
Over the Norwegians |
|
There was no response |
|
The day faded away |
|
They waited in the ships |
|
Until the morning came |
|
Then they landed in Largs |
|
Right there, next to the Hebrides |
|
Stopping centuries of Norse invasions |
|
Terms of peace were offered |
|
But they were not accepted |
|
Storm in Largs Rain falls down |
|
Storm in Largs over Largs |
|
Once in the coast, the king and his men |
|
Lacking in force, sensed a defeat |
|
A major army caused their retreat |
|
Overweighting the ships |
|
Sinking them down |
|
Remaining in the ships |
|
The main body of the Nordic force |
|
Was unable to fight |
|
The key was the storm |
|
And the Scots finally won |
|
Storm in Largs |
|
Rains falls down |
|
Storm in Largs |
|
Over Largs |
