Stamford Bridge - Harold’s Sun versuri

Versuri Mehrune Dagon – Stamford Bridge – Harold's Sun lyrics

[Verse 1]
Lo! We in hall on this day have heard
of deeds done, glory at Stamford Bridge!
Harold Hardrada, war-king of Norwegians,
with bright ships shoots into the Humber

[Verse 2]
Weapon-throng waged, warriors not few,
two thousand bold to win renown
But England’s king, noble from Hastings,
came with keen folk, known in battle

[Verse 3]
Broad was the bridge, bound with iron,
one warrior stood there, weapon-bearing,
shoulder burned, ash-spears terrified –
never did Northmen fight so few so fierce!

[Verse 4]
But English host with oaths advanced,
shields sheared, shafts pressed;
the bridge grew bloody, broken with weapons,
Hardrada fell, doomed to that death

[Verse 5]
Tostig the proud, prince without glory,
brother of the king, steeped in blood –
two kings lay slain, three earls there,
that was a stern struggle!

[Verse 6]
That day’s doom was dealt,
Northmen’s need, never after
did a ship-host shoot into the sea
so sorely silenced to this shore

[Verse 7]
Let that be sung, sun unlike any,
Harold’s war-glory, greatest of heroes –
yet soon after from the south shall come
Welsh-French weapons, fate is woven
