Camus may refer to:
Camus, in historic literature, was a Scandinavian general dispatched to engage the Scots in battle, reportedly in the early eleventh century AD. The legendary engagement was called the Battle of Barry, and was first alluded to by Boece.
The historical nature of Camus and the Battle of Barry was called into doubt in the early nineteenth century. Evidence formerly cited for the battle included the large number of human remains found on Barry Links, where the town of Carnoustie, Angus now stands, now reinterpreted as a Pictish cemetery of earlier date. The remains of a fort near Kirkbuddo, formerly known as 'Norway Dykes', from where the Danish army are supposed to have marched is now recognised to be of Roman origin.
Boece attributed Pictish sculptured stones found throughout Angus and the surrounding area to the Danish invasions. The battle depicted on the reverse of the Aberlemno kirkyard stone was cited by tradition as a depiction of the Battle of Barry. Current thought dates this stone from the mid-8th century and it is now commonly thought to depict the Battle of Dun Nechtain in 685 AD. The Camus Cross near Monikie, 2 miles north of the supposed battle site and formerly thought to be the site of Camus' death, is now thought to be of earlier, Pictish origin.

Thought I knew you that I'm through with you
What a fool (what a fool)
Who let you get down in deep and make me lose my cool
Now I'm back on track and you won't see my cryin'
Checkin' for my pulse while I was down before I was dyin'
Well, Mama said to keep rising to the top
I ain't get robbed, but I never stopped
See, I'm a wiser, growing wiser, next time I'll reach the top
So if you've been told that you can't do
This includes this song's for you
Baby, step on in and turn the radio up
That I'll tell you how I'm hustled on
I came, I saw
I conquered through it all
Let the rain come down on me
Wash me over, just wash me over
I came
Some folks were born rich and some folks poor just like me
Work hard all day just to make a dollar
Ooh, between life is free
Some ride all day just to make a dolar
Some shake for the dollars all night long
Ain't no choice but to work it out
Pay the bills and trying to stay strong
But we do what we gotta
'Cause we know and we oughta
And everything is gonna be alright, it's gonna be alright
Yeah, yeahhh, ohhh
[Interlude]
I came, I saw
I conquered through it all
Let the rain come down on me
Wash me over, just wash me over (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
As long as there is time (long as there is time)
You know it's gonna be somebody who wants to steal your future
(Future)
But don't let them steal your star (let them steal your star)
You see you've come so far (see you've come so far)
Hey, when you reach the top, tell them that you came, yeah
You saw and you conquered through it all
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Let the rain come down on me, yeahhh
Wash me over, just wash me over
I came... I came... I came...
