Album: Hastings 1066 (2002)

Echoes Of War


Blow new winds on British destiny
Et Contentio de solio inter reges orta est

[Edward to Harold:]
"Now on my deathbed I lie and when I'll fly
on the black wings of Death you'll guide my reign"

Words that led the empire to tragedy
time of sudden plots and treacheries
new page in the book of human disgraces
Harold in regnum successit

"On your shoulder I'm leaving the care
of my kingdom, my despair"

Incautum donum !

[Harold:] "I command now!"

Calamitas!

Feelings of illusions
Are smashin' your mind and your soul
Inside your hurt pride
Is crying for revenge

Vengeance is the answer
Harold has broken a holy oath ,he'll pay

Only your truth you want to see in your eyes
Your blaze of anger still burns in time

Harold has to clash with a Viking invasion
The envy of his brother Is Grand
Lead your troops through the land of the Godwin
Carry hope Of a new great fair reign

Harold to his warriors: " Stamford bridge was just a part of the struggle
Warriors, I ask you to trust in my strength
Only the bravehearts will cross the bridge of spears"
Echoes of war
Menaces of battle to reclaim the right to the throne
Shake the air
War and despair
The wind from the south brings
The dawn of a new Norman reign

Dux britannicum fretus
Transivit sine mora

[William to the Fleet:]
"Friends o' mine ,you must keep the rules
Until the end of time"
Et litora attincta sunt

Sunrise on Hastings ,a new day's beginning
A day in the name of new blood

Echoes of war
Menaces of battle to reclaim the right to the throne
Shake the air
War and despair
The wind from the south brings
The dawn of a new Norman reign
