Amon Amarth - Viking Christmas (2011 X-Mas metal single)

LYRICS:

1. Most of the year we are but heathens
Sailing, fighting, plundering and crushing skulls
We confess to fight for Odin, we pretend to be his horde
But when the year draws to an end things get kind of bizarre

Chorus: When it's Christmas, Viking Christmas, I have tears in my eyes
When I remember my childhood days and all those Christmas Eves
A sparkling tree, marveling eyes and all those presents,
I can still smell the roast and gingerbread
Nobody can escape the magic of Christmas

2. Raw meat and wild berries, goat milk and sticky mead
Are the viking's culinary desires
But when Christmas is drawing near
We switch to a very different diet

Chorus: When it's Christmas, Viking Christmas, I have tears in my eyes
When I remember my childhood days and all those Christmas Eves
A sparkling tree, marveling eyes and all those presents,
I can still smell the roast and gingerbread
Nobody can escape the magic of Christmas

Bridge: Viking Christmas, it's Viking Christmas...

3. Officially we despise any of those Christian customs
But in secrecy we can't flee the Christmas spell
I bet you can't imagine how sentimental we can be:
5 bearded vikings reenact the nativity scene

Chrous: When it's Christmas, Viking Christmas, I have tears in my eyes
When I remember my childhood days and all those Christmas Eves
A sparkling tree, marveling eyes and all those presents,
I can still smell the roast and gingerbread
Nobody can escape the magic of Christmas

Vocalist sounds nothing like Johan Hegg.

Kind of funny that many of the 'christmas' traditions being mentioned in this song are actually old pagan solstice traditions. No need for vikings to change anything, really :P I drink mead every solstice/xmas/whatever :D

Vikings celebrated the winter solstice like everyone else (ie: roman Saturnalia)... it's not a christian thing.

[Kiwio12]

This sounds like Unleashed, not AA

[Oakenbull]

I feel like im listening to a Dethklok song

[MetalGamingLive]

Well this definitely isn't Amon Amarth considering it dosn't sound like them one bit and Johan Hegg is an atheist

[rkoppinger]

Weird Al has met his metal match! Best laugh I've had in a long time.
