Lyrics Senlac Hill - Dendera

Senlac Hill

1066 the year the king prepares for war
Against the Norman army, the throne is what it’s for
3 weeks is all the time he uses to prepare
His army weakened down and riddled with despair
Here comes the cavalry you hear the locals call
The chance of victory into their hand it falls
We fight for glory and the honour is our game
When darkness falls we live to fight another day
The grounds of Senlac hill will never be the same
For king and country fight until the break of day
Astride the road in Hastings, prepare the wall of shield
The army fast approaching, lance and sword they wield
Housecarls and dedicated soldiers to his rein
All fighting for their cause all clad in cloth of chain
Out on the fields of battle bodies fall around
The screams and Norman cries and armies on the ground
The lives and sacrifice they take before they die
They take our fallen king, an arrow to the eye
We fought for glory and the honour was our game
When darkness fell we lived to fight another day
The grounds of Senlac hill will never be the same
For king and country fight until the break of day
We fought for glory and the honour was our game
When darkness fell we lived to fight another day
The grounds of Senlac hill will never be the same
For king and country fight until the break of day
It was decisive and our effort went in vain
When darkness fell we lived to fight another day
The lives of Englishmen will never be the same
For king and country fight until the break of day
