In 1066 in the year of our lord

From the land of the Normans with bloodline restored

A warrior family a duke and a lord
Em
Taking the throne through conflict and war
       Em
In the Battle of Hastings one side destroyed
  Em                            C          B
A clash of the strongest to the victor the spoils

An army triumphant they marched to their grave

But news traveled fast of a second invasion
    Em
The army of Saxons would face a new foe
Em
Tired and weary they marched to the battle
      Em                       C          B
Where William was waiting with quiver and bow

The gathered in splendor in fields near the Hastings

They'll fight to the death for England's proud soil
   Em                     G                    F
No quarter was given they charged against each other
Em                   G            F
