1066 Lyrics

Album: 1066

An army left the shallow waters

Fjords and mountain ridge

A massive fleet

Three hundred ships

We're off to Stamford bridge

It's the last time we embark on a quest

And we'll never sail again

In the memory of our fathers

Who gave their lives away

In the favour of our brothers

I will pray

We were soldiers meant to be

We were rulers of the sea

Travelled east and west and south

We owned the north

Let the dragon steer our ships

We deny the crucifix

At the battle in ten six six

King Harald led his waiting army

Took them by surprise

A single axeman held them off

Until they closed his eyes

It's the last time we embark on a quest

And we'll never sail again

In the memory of our fathers

Who gave their lives away

In the favour of our brothers

I will pray

We were soldiers meant to be

We were rulers of the sea

Travelled east and west and south

We owned the north

Let the dragon steer our ships

We deny the crucifix

At the battle in ten six six

It's the end of an age

And an end of an era

It's our time to go down in history

We were soldiers meant to be

We were rulers of the sea

Travelled east and west and south

We owned the north

Let the dragon steer our ships

We deny the crucifix

At the battle in ten six six
