Riding to Hastings, Treading the stone Wretched of forces for the last war Harold arrived in time To stop the enemys ride Near to defeat, he should collide With all Williams ardour before he dies But his stubbornness gave him the strength To fight for a future gain Exploits and bloodshed stained those lands The scream of heroes still resounds over the battleground Waves of defenders armed with steel Led by the Norman to Telham Hill Were ready to pass through the Bridge of Spears And to face the growing fears Holy clouds darkened the sky When the kings delivered these blessed words Brothers in battle, this war could be the way of no return But this hardness soothed the hearts Silence preceded the harrowing wait Men were praying God Holy defenders of faith Held the ties of loyalty Aware of a glorious death They decided to face the threat Standing the pain with grandiose pride Holders of power relive Remembered through the womens cry Away from home They decided to face their fate towards The torment of their sacrifice Ante lucem acies trucies Processerunt sine metu Duo duces paraverunt rationes proximae pugnae Profundite vitam pro nostro domino [Guitar Solo] And the darkness flooded their hearts Silence preceded the harrowing wait Men were praying God Holy defenders of faith Held the ties of loyalty Aware of a glorious death They decided to face the threat Standing the pain with grandiose pride Holders of power relive Remembered through the womens cry Away from home They decided to walk the way Raising the flag of the reign Raising the flag Nourishing few consolations inside But ready to face the torment of their sacrifice
