The Sight of Telham Hill

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
