Dominus Praelii - Battle Of Stamford Bridge Тексты

Three hundred ships sailing up the River Humper
To take by force the city of York.
After the conquer Harald marched out his army
To the battle of the bridge Stamford

The closer the English get, the greatest it seems to grow
And their glittering weapons sparkled like a field of broken ice

Fight! Fight side by side
Fight! Die before surrender

For a time a single Viking kept the bridge safe
Killing any soldier who tried to get on his way

When the English came across the Northmen resisted
Attacked by all sides, their brave King opened the path

Fight! Fight side by side
Fight! Die before surrender

But King Harald was killed and his brother Tostigs took command
King Godwinsson offered him a deal, but he said:
- We'd rather fall, than accept a quarter from a English man

From 300 ships, were left 24
And those men were alive, because Harold let them go
They were never defeated in ground like this before
And to this part of England, they were coming no more
