Riding to Hastings, Treading the stone 

Wretched of forces for the last war 

Harold arrived in time 

To stop the enemy's ride 



Near to defeat, he should collide 

With all William's ardour before he dies

But his stubbornness gave him the strength 

To fight for a future gain 



Exploits and bloodshed stained those lands 

The scream of heroes still resounds over the battleground 



Waves of defenders armed with steel

Led by the Norman to Telham Hill 

Were ready to pass through the Bridge of Spears 

And to face the growing fears 



Holy clouds darkened the sky 

When the kings delivered these blessed words: 

"Brothers in battle, this war could be the way of no return" 



But this hardness soothed the hearts 

Silence preceded the harrowing wait 

Men were praying God 



Holy defenders of faith 

Held the ties of loyalty 

Aware of a glorious death 

They decided to face the threat , 

standing the pain with grandiose pride 



Holders of power relive

Remembered through the women's cry 

Away from home 

They decided to face their fate towards

the torment of their sacrifice 



Ante lucem acies trucies 

Processerunt sine metu 

Duo duces paraverunt rationes proximae pugnae 



"Profundite vitam pro nostro domino" 



And the darkness flooded their hearts 

Silence preceded the harrowing wait 

Men were praying God 



Holy defenders of faith 

Held the ties of loyalty 

Aware of a glorious death 

They decided to face the threat ,

standing the pain with grandiose pride 



Holders of power relive

Remembered through the women's cry 

Away from home 

They decided to walk the way 

Raising the flag of the reign 

([choir:] RAISING THE FLAG) 

Nourishing few consolations inside 

But ready to face the torment of their sacrifice
