[Verse 1] In 1066 in the year of our lord The conqueror came with warhorse and sword He landed in England at the Pevensey shore From the land of the Normans with bloodline restored A warrior family, a duke and a lord Taking the throne through conflict and war In the Battle of Hastings, one side destroyed A clash of the strongest, to the victor the spoils [Chorus] 1066, the conqueror came Never forget, remember the name In 1066 thе Saxons were slain The day that thе conqueror came In 1066 1066 [Verse 2] Harold had beaten the vikings at Stamford Routing Hardrada, the end of an age Dayglow was finished, the shieldwall defeated An army triumphant, they marched to their grave But news traveled fast of a second invasion The army of Saxons would face a new foe Tired and weary they marched to the battle Where William was waiting with quiver and bow [Chorus] 1066, the conqueror came Never forget, remember the name In 1066 the Saxons were slain The day that the conqueror came [Guitar Solo] [Verse 3] They gathered in splendor in fields near the Hastings They'll fight to the death for England's proud soil No quarter was given, they charged 'gainst each other Battling, slicing and ripping with sword The cavalry charged and cut the defenses The arrows came flying and pierced Harold's eye The Normans were victors, the end of the Saxons A new king would reign, history reborn [Chorus] 1066, the conqueror came Never forget, remember the name In 1066 the Saxons were slain 1066, the conqueror came Never forget, remember the name In 1066 the Saxons were slain The day that the conqueror came In 1066
