Saxon Victory

I woke up at dawn on the day of my death
I don't think that I will survive
The honorable task to protect the king
Was assigned to my brethren and me

Bretons and Normans are marching this way
Soon we will meet on this blood shedding day
Battle horns breaking the peace of the morning
We have to ride out, we will finally face them

They charge up the hill to break our lines
Archers are shooting their arrows divine
They run into spears with their light infantry
No match for the Saxons who seek victory

The enemy flees and our fire is lit
Without a command we have set the pursuit
Our lines are now broken, the king is exposed
The infantry scattered, the shield wall is battered

Protect the king
Ride to war for victory
Protect the king
Ride to war for victory

All hope is gone as we watch behind our backs
We are surrounded and stolen from our task
The king is slain by an arrow to the eye
Falling from his horse, on the trampled ground

Death remains, now the king is gone
Protect the crown, in death we'll meet again
The last attack before we all fell down
The battle done, aggressors on the rise

Protect the king
Ride to war for victory
Protect the king
Ride to war for victory
