1066

[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
