[00:00.00]The Beheading of a King - Amon Amarth
[00:17.21]A mighty fleet came across the strait
[00:20.53]But Erik was prepared
[00:24.02]Five hundred Germans had come to his aid
[00:27.21]On horseback with their spears
[00:32.54]The fleet was carrying two thousand men
[00:39.73]Eager to draw blood
[00:46.37]But as they were about to land
[00:53.47]Erik released his heards
[01:12.02]One thousand men
[01:13.58]And five hundred horsemen
[01:15.41]Came charging down the beach
[01:19.07]When the sea-king saw this force
[01:22.08]He gave order to retreat
[01:26.06]All obeyed except one ship
[01:29.18]It held the king's own son
[01:32.90]He despised the thought of flight
[01:36.01]And attacked on his own
[01:41.20]The Danish fleet had to turn around
[01:47.98]They charged King Erik's men
[01:54.76]But it was too late to save his son
[02:01.71]His life was already spent
[02:08.61]The fighting continued bloody and fierce
[02:15.49]And the bloodshed was immense
[02:22.31]Two thousand warriors died that day
[02:29.65]Most of them were Danes
[02:48.32]The Danish king was captured
[02:51.98]Most of his guards were dead
[02:55.08]For a ransom he was released
[02:58.41]Then his people took his head
