Senlac Hill - Dendera

1066 the year the king prepares for war

Against the Norman army, the throne is what it’s for

3 weeks is all the time he uses to prepare

His army weakened down and riddled with despair

Here comes the cavalry you hear the locals call

The chance of victory into their hand it falls

We fight for glory and the honour is our game

When darkness falls we live to fight another day

The grounds of Senlac hill will never be the same

For king and country fight until the break of day

Astride the road in Hastings, prepare the wall of shield

The army fast approaching, lance and sword they wield

Housecarls and dedicated soldiers to his rein

All fighting for their cause all clad in cloth of chain

Out on the fields of battle bodies fall around

The screams and Norman cries and armies on the ground

The lives and sacrifice they take before they die

They take our fallen king, an arrow to the eye

We fought for glory and the honour was our game

When darkness fell we lived to fight another day

The grounds of Senlac hill will never be the same

For king and country fight until the break of day

We fought for glory and the honour was our game

When darkness fell we lived to fight another day

The grounds of Senlac hill will never be the same

For king and country fight until the break of day

It was decisive and our effort went in vain

When darkness fell we lived to fight another day

The lives of Englishmen will never be the same

For king and country fight until the break of day
