歌詞

MAGNA TOTIUS EXERCITUS PERTURBATIO FACTA EST (2 v) CUM SAGITTA NECAVIT REGEM TERROR ET MORA CRUCIAVERUNT MILITES The rout resounded around the hill WHEN THE LAST TROOPS LAID DOWN THEIR ARMS POST SEPTEM HORAS PROELII REX ANGLIAE IMPLORAVIT CAELUM (Harold:) "With the arrival of nightfall I could gather my men and wait For reinforcements. Blessed god, heed my hopes!" SED WILLIAM NON DISTULIT ET IMPETUM IN HOSTEM FECIT IN ORA TARDA (Ivo of Ponthieu:) "I'll take his life" he said to king "and this sacrifice will be my honest gift to thy kingdom" Like a rumble of thunder the knights broke out through the shield-wall Steel rang out like evil bells across the land Sir William is still alive , he shows his face raising proud his helmet to the sky A rumor spread along the ranks about Sir William's sudden death , the panic blew away when he showed his face and the time has come TO ANNIHILATE THY TROOPS arrows falling down on the Saxon lines Sir William is still alive , he shows his face raising proud his helmet to the sky (CHORUS:) Harold's dead , his body now lies after he's got by an arrow in his eye Harold dies , Harold the king , leaving the green fields of Anglia at the mercy of fate ULTIMUS INCURSUS FUIT CERTUS ET CRUENTUS Saxon line was broken down , All that was left were the HouseCarls showin' their bravery REX ANIMAM EFFLAVIT The bloody HouseCarls with their warrior pride Are showin' their worth they're keepin' up the last fight Standing all around the corpse of Majestie Fighting proud until the last man dies (CHORUS:) Harold's dead , his body now lies after he's got by an arrow in his eye Harold dies , Harold the king , leaving the green fields of Anglia at the mercy of fate
