In the year of 1066 a battle was fought
At Hastings where history's tides were wrought
King Harold of England brave and strong
Faced William the Conqueror forever long
Battle of Hastings on English soil
A clash of armies a test of royal foil
Normans and Saxons in fierce array
Deciding the fate of England that day
Arrows flew and swords clashed
As warriors fought and lands were lashed
Harold fell his banner torn
Norman victory on that morn
Battle of Hastings on English soil
A clash of armies a test of royal foil
Normans and Saxons in fierce array
Deciding the fate of England that day
A turning point in history's page
Norman rule began its age
The conqueror claimed the English throne
At Hastings a kingdom was overthrown
Battle of Hastings on English soil
A clash of armies a test of royal foil
Normans and Saxons in fierce array
Deciding the fate of England that day
So remember the Battle of Hastings well
Where kings and knights in glory fell
A day that changed the course of time
In the year of 1066 a historic chime
