No Picture Aleksandar Average	#1 by Aleksandar Radošević at Oct 19, 2005 at 12:52 PM EST
	Definately about the Vikings(norsemen)

No Picture slapslappopslap Badass	#2 by slapslappopslap at Oct 26, 2005 at 10:59 PM EST
	Yeah, sounds more like an invasion of Britain. "To fight the hoarde" To my knowledge, there weren't exactly an abundance of hoardes in North America at the time.

No Picture a Average	#3 by a a at Dec 14, 2005 at 3:19 PM EST
	sounds that way at first, but what ruins would there be to rebuild in america between 800 and 1066 AD? i`m pretty sure it's about the viking invasions of Britain around 800-1000 A.D., since Britain's eastern coast (or the english channel's western shore) was where most of the attacks were aimed. also, i think "For peace and trust can win the day despite of all your losing" could be an allusion to england's norman invasion in 1066, since that invasion was pretty much the last great invasion of the British isles, and paved the way for England's power in the future. oh, and by the way, Valhalla is the "hall of Heroes", where, in norse mythology, Odin kept the souls of those great fighters that died in battle so that he would have an army of great fighters with him for the final battle at the end of the world.

	I agree with the Nordic idea; most of the evidence of the song seems to fit. However, I think Zep were also having a bit of fun with their new American audience; they started, as we all know, in Britain, and the wave of post-Beatles bands in America may here be termed 'an invasion'. In effect, I think it's comparing a historical event to what was transpiring at the time of the song's writing.

	there are hot springs all over. Japan, Colorado, and Oregon all have nice ones that i have been to. and the Vikings were not from Iceland, they were from Norway, Finland and other nearby areas. they eventually made some settlements in Iceland, but they were "from" further east of Iceland. pretty much everything in the song points to it being about invading the british isles.

	It is about the vikings because the vikings also come to the western shore, they came to canada as well i believe, as invading all those other countries you guys mentioned. good ol' history class :P i know they came to some western shore cause they were into exploring the western world just as the rest of the europeans were (ie: portugal, spain etc)
