Saxon and Norman fighters played by @StrongholdReenactment video directed, produced and edited by Paul M Green.

To celebrate their upcoming European Hell, Fire And Steel tour, SAXON unleash the dramatic video for the new single “1066”, taken from their critically-acclaimed 24th studio album, Hell, Fire And Damnation - out now via Silver Lining Music.

Saxon’s Biff Byford says – “A totally British themed song, the massive invasion… In fact, it was the end of the Saxons really, so I’m singing about the demise of the Saxons. I did a song with Amon Amarth a while back called ‘Saxons and Vikings’ which was about the end of the Vikings in England and the rise of the Saxons, so I thought I may as well do a song about six-seven hundred years later when William the Conqueror comes over and nobbles the Saxons.
We’ll be playing the song on the Hell, Fire And Steel tour next month, which is gonna be fantastic.”

Lyrics
In 1066 in the year of our Lord
The conqueror came with war horse and sword
He landed in England on the Pevensey shore
From the land of the Norman’s, his blood line restored

A warrior family, a duke and a lord
Taking the throne through conflict and war
To the battle of Hastings, one side destroyed
A clash of the strongest, to the victor the spoils

1066 the Conqueror came
Never forget, remember the name
In 1066 the Saxons were slain
The day that the Conqueror came
In 1066
1066

Harold had beaten the Vikings at Stamford
Routing Hardrada the end of an age
Danelaw was finished, the shield wall defeated
An army triumphant they marched to their grave
But news travelled fast of a second invasion
The army of Saxons would face a new foe
Tired and weary they marched to the battle
Where William was waiting with quiver and bow

1066 the Conqueror came
Never forget remember the name
1066 the Saxons were slain
The day that the Conqueror came

They gathered in splendour, in fields near to Hastings
They fight to the death for England’s proud soil
No quarter was given, they charged against each other
Battle axe slicing and ripping with sword
The Calvary charged and cut the defences
The arrows came flying and pierced Harold’s eye
The Normans were victors, the end of the Saxons
A new king would reign, history reborn

1066 the Conqueror came
Never forget, remember the name
In 1066 the Saxons were slain

1066 the Conqueror came
Never forget, remember the name
In 1066 the Saxons were slain
The day that the Conqueror came
In 1066
