Lyric discussion by odin_lowe 

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.

Native Americans, Mexicans in what is now Texas and the Southwest

There were hordes in America (South, Central and North) until the Spanish showed up and spread influenza to the Native populations that were ill-equipped to fight European diseases. There are also many beautiful ruins in Mexico and South America and who knows what kinds of ruins could be buried all over North America.

I don't think this is about America though, I think it's about Vikings invading Great Britain.

What I also meant to say was that by the time Europeans started colonizing America the Native civilizations had been greatly diminished. If you're interested in the topic, read 1491.
