Album Lyrics
1. Rerum Memoria
Traduntur viri duo et eorum exercitus congressi esse
in radicibus Hastings
illa pugna cessit mire
hodie questuus militum resonant in illis locis sacris
illum factum mutavit in aeternum anglieae fata
2. The King and the Warrior
Crowned in January of 1066 (ten sixty six)
Harold was set as king
Formidable warrior, a braveheart he is
William from Normandy
Now the times are ripe for war
To put again a men on the throne
As defender of fate, the Norman is claiming the land
Beyond the Channel, the Godwin’s array
is waitin’ the siege without dread and delay
People of Anglia do tremble with fear
’cause William’s sword is weird
Now the times are ripe for war
To put your hands again on thy swords
The die is cast
History is going to be changed
Warrior and King
Two men, one throne
The way for glory is peace in the reign
a Warrior a King
Of steel is forged their soul
United by oath
To claim the right to the crown
Now the times are ripe for war
To put your hands again on thy swords
The die is cast
History is going to be changed
[BRIDGE]
[CHORUS 1]
[CHORUS 2]
THEY FOUGHT
3. Intro Echoes (Suite n.1)
(Instrumental)
4. Echoes of War
Blow new winds on British destiny
Et Contentio de solio inter reges orta est
[Edward to Harold:]
“Now on my deathbed I lie and when I’ll fly
on the black wings of Death you’ll guide my reign”
Words that led the empire to tragedy
time of sudden plots and treacheries
new page in the book of human disgraces
Harold in regnum successit
“On your shoulder I’m leaving the care
of my kingdom, my despair”
Incautum donum !
[Harold:] “I command now!”
Calamitas!
Feelings of illusions
Are smashin’ your mind and your soul
Inside your hurt pride
Is crying for revenge
Vengeance is the answer
Harold has broken a holy oath ,he’ll pay
Only your truth you want to see in your eyes
Your blaze of anger still burns in time
Harold has to clash with a Viking invasion
The envy of his brother Is Grand
Lead your troops through the land of the Godwin
Carry hope Of a new great fair reign
Harold to his warriors: ” Stamford bridge was just a part of the struggle
Warriors, I ask you to trust in my strength
Only the bravehearts will cross the bridge of spears”
Echoes of war
Menaces of battle to reclaim the right to the throne
Shake the air
War and despair
The wind from the south brings
The dawn of a new Norman reign
Dux britannicum fretus
Transivit sine mora
[William to the Fleet:]
“Friends o’ mine ,you must keep the rules
Until the end of time”
Et litora attincta sunt
Sunrise on Hastings ,a new day’s beginning
A day in the name of new blood
Echoes of war
Menaces of battle to reclaim the right to the throne
Shake the air
War and despair
The wind from the south brings
The dawn of a new Norman reign
5. 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
6. Incipit Bellum
Audacibus erunt potestas et gloria
Vivent semper
Domino credunt Domino confidunt
Omnibus cum viribus
Ira caeli descendet in acies et in gladios
Veniet et animos incendet contra hostes
Celum et terra coniungent se
Cum virtus iustorum triumphabit
Plurimus cruor et ferrum invadabunt ista loca
Sed magnus dux accipiet auxilium dei
Cum vinceret bellum
7. Intro Scream (Suite n.2)
(Instrumental)
8. The Scream of Taillefer
Duces instruxerunt copias in acie
Impetus et timor mentis militium perturbaverunt
Among the lines of the arrayments
They could feel a strange call of death
Et fervor pugnandi minuit
Wait and dread prevailed over the calm
“Leave your hopes beyond the horizon.
You will fight only to survive.
Raise your steels and pride!”
Harold said before the last command
Tragic hail. Innocent blood in vain
Soldiers drew up in battle order
How many are going to die?
William inciting his warriors said:
“My brave, we fight for the glory and the lands”
The bray of the horns giving the charge
Re-echos through this valley of the damned
Soldiers dashin’ assault face to face
Sweat and blood are shed everywhere
Red dragon waves on the top of the hill
As the battle goes on with a blaze made of steel
“My valiant men: Go and fight!”
Sir William roared to the archers and knights
Clashing of sword and mighty strokes
Of maces resound on the battlefield
Around a spreading of blood
There’s no road for retreat into this storm
So fight on and on!
Scream of Thaillefer
Strong like a thunder
Great Lord of war take
Bless our souls
Grant the blades of these men’swords
a grand day of blood
Scream of Taillefer
Against the shield wall
Hundreds of steel warriors
Fighting for thy kingdom
They are winged by a fierce call to
run through the enemy’s wall
Virtus et magna audacia splendebunt
In excelsis caeli memoria
Semper gloria sit
In excelsis semper sit gloria, domine
Non confundar in aeternum
Salvum fac nos
[CHORUS ]
“Triumph will gladden your hearts!”
9. Intro Anger (Suite n.3)
(Instrumental)
10. Anger of Fate
Belli voces cum mortis campanis resonabant
Ulciscendi cupiditas corpora et animos incendit
“But destiny had already crowned his man: the Conqueror prevailed”
Magnus cruciatus haroldis cord invasit
Lookin’ at this rout
I can hear the call of death deep in my heart
While I stay apart
Infantrymen and Knights are fighting for a glory
But they recognize the cause of my promises
I cannot bear all this guilt
I am the King of the reign
In this land I command
Under the guide of my sword
My wills could become real
But this time I will loose my crown
Arrows are falling down over my army
There’s a mystical shade
It’s the anger of fate
I’m feeling the darkness,the revenge against all my life
Against my empire
Loneliness,tragedy,pain
Are flooding this grieved heart
Growing sweat on my face
William,you win your challenge
But you won’t get my regress as long as I’m alive!
Wait for me,I say wait for more
Cold as ice when you’ll lay your blow
In my disgrace there’s your face,there’s my pain
Revenge and curse are falling
Over my tormented domain
Over my last desires
Legions of death are breaking my army
I can’t stop this hate
I’m feelinig the Anger of Fate
Wait for me, wait for my defeat
In all these years, there was you in my fears
Revenge and curse are falling
Over my tormented domain
Over my last desires
Legions of death are breaking my army
I can’t stop this hate
I can’t stop the Anger of Fate
11. Intro Pride (Suite n.4)
(Instrumental)
12. The Pride of a Housecarl
MAGNA TOTIUS EXERCITUS PERTURBATIO FACTA EST (2 v)
CUM SAGITTA NECAVIT REGEM
TERROR ET MORA CRUCIAVERUNT MILITES
The rout resounded around the hill
WHEN THE LAST TROOPS LAID DOWN THEIR ARMS
POST SEPTEM HORAS PROELII REX ANGLIAE IMPLORAVIT CAELUM
[Harold:]
“With the arrival of nightfall I could gather my men and wait
For reinforcements. Blessed god, heed my hopes!”
SED WILLIAM NON DISTULIT ET IMPETUM IN HOSTEM FECIT IN ORA TARDA
[Ivo of Ponthieu:]
“I’ll take his life” he said to king
“and this sacrifice will be my honest gift to thy kingdom”
Like a rumble of thunder the knights
broke out through the shield-wall
Steel rang out like evil bells
across the land
Sir William is still alive , he shows his face
raising proud his helmet to the sky
A rumor spread along the ranks
about Sir William’s sudden death ,
the panic blew away when he showed his face
and the time has come TO ANNIHILATE THY TROOPS
arrows falling down
on the Saxon lines
Sir William is still alive , he shows his face
raising proud his helmet to the sky
[CHORUS:]
Harold’s dead , his body now lies
after he’s got by an arrow in his eye
Harold dies , Harold the king ,
leaving the green fields of Anglia at the mercy of fate
ULTIMUS INCURSUS FUIT CERTUS ET CRUENTUS
Saxon line was broken down ,
All that was left were the HouseCarls
showin’ their bravery
REX ANIMAM EFFLAVIT
The bloody HouseCarls with their warrior pride
Are showin’ their worth
they’re keepin’ up the last fight
Standing all around the corpse of Majestie
Fighting proud until the last man dies
[CHORUS:]
Harold’s dead , his body now lies
after he’s got by an arrow in his eye
Harold dies , Harold the king ,
leaving the green fields of Anglia at the mercy of fate
13. Through the Bridge of Spears
Blow the winds of bloodshed their immortal chilling breeze
Widespread on the lands of Caldbec Hill
Taking off my head this helmet that’s what now I see
My friends and foes united by their deadly destiny
God have guided my sword towards the final victory
My men are on their way to Bridge of Spears
My God be pity and answer to thy servant’s final plea
Don’t make me taste the loneliness that always curses kings
Give me wings to command
And power to spread
Give the peace to these lands
[CHORUS:]
I’ve witnessed the slaughter
In the lands of Caldbec Hill
I’ve sent my men to face death
Was all this meant just for me?
I’ve witnessed the slaughter
In the lands of Caldbec Hill
I’ve raised my arms, I’ve taken their lives
I’m William the only king
Time has come when I shall rule on these lands
My word shall be law and my law shall command
Carve my name with sacred fire
On the stone that history saved for me
Give me wings to command
And power to spread
Give peace to these lands
[CHORUS:]
I’ve witnessed the slaughter
In the lands of Caldbec Hill
I’ve sent my men to face death
Was all this meant just for me?
I’ve witnessed the slaughter
In the lands of Cladbec Hill
I’ve raised my arms, I’ve taken their lives
I’m William the only king
14. Demons on the Crown
Rex normannus strenue vicit
But the cruel bloodshed
Suum bellicum animum commovit
Kyrie eleison
Reigns the calm over Sentlach
On the distressed “lake of blood”
Young men dead lie near me
Valiant sons of Normandy
Lord of the graces
Bless my fallen men
Let me know my defaults to quiet my conceited soul
Waiting for the holy day
The future of the crown depends on me
Few joys for my broken heart
’cause the throne is stained with blood
I lost the faith to vindicate my rights
Against my wish and desires
Breaking the life of innocent men
I defied the sky damning my hands
Acris victoria capta magno sacrificio
Perturbavit animum victoris
Demons on the crown
Growing vexation and shades
Beyond my guise
Marks of unforgotten pain
Sadness in my mind
Dims the reasons of my claim
And how can I
Live with this unwitting , deep remorse
Lugubre fatum!
Exsecratio vade retro!
Worrying flash in my sleepless nights
The visions of death relive through my eyes
I lost the faith to vindicate my rights
Against my wish and desires
Breaking the life of innocent men
I defied the sky damning my hands
Demons on the crown
Growing vexation and shades
Beyond my guise
Marks of unforgotten pain
Sadness in my mind
Darkens the cause of my claim
Inside it’s shaking
How can I forget that killing dart
Kyrie eleison
