Album: Hastings 1066 (2002)

Through The Bridge Of Spears


Blow the winds of bloodshed their immortal chilling breeze
Widespread on the lands of Caldbec Hill
Taking off my head this helmet that's what now I see
My friends and foes united by their deadly destiny

God have guided my sword towards the final victory
My men are on their way to Bridge of Spears
My God be pity and answer to thy servant's final plea
Don't make me taste the loneliness that always curses kings

Give me wings to command
And power to spread
Give the peace to these lands

[CHORUS:]
I've witnessed the slaughter
In the lands of Caldbec Hill
I've sent my men to face death
Was all this meant just for me?
I've witnessed the slaughter
In the lands of Caldbec Hill
I've raised my arms, I've taken their lives
I'm William the only king

Time has come when I shall rule on these lands
My word shall be law and my law shall command
Carve my name with sacred fire
On the stone that history saved for me

Give me wings to command
And power to spread
Give peace to these lands

[CHORUS:]
I've witnessed the slaughter
In the lands of Caldbec Hill
I've sent my men to face death
Was all this meant just for me?
I've witnessed the slaughter
In the lands of Cladbec Hill
I've raised my arms, I've taken their lives
I'm William the only king
