The Sight Of Telham Hill Lyrics

The Sight Of Telham Hill lyrics

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
