1066 Lyrics by Saxon

Hell, Fire and Damnation

0

[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
