Steel and Stone in Me (Version 2)

Verse

Avebury stone to Hastings ground

Two cultures clash on Norman land

Shield wall broken — sword in the air

Bastard of Robert claims what's his right there

Ceremonies hold in Rouen town

Countess Matilda wears the crown

Duchy under her steady hand

William sails for a claim not planned

English throne: one battle to take

Harald Godwinson won't turn back

Stamford fell before Hastings gate

Normans march through, don't hesitate

Pre-Chorus

History in our veins — every clash

Bastards rise and empires smash

Hastings won the war in me

Normandy's blood sets me free

Chorus

Steel and stone in me!

Rollo's line will never be beat!

Shield wall broken, England mine

I'll take the throne, I'll write the rhyme

William's legacy — blood and flame

Every Norman warrior feels the same!

Verse

Countess Matilda holds her own ground

Flees to Rouen while William's crowned

He proves himself worthy of his name

Rollo's Viking spirit still inflames

Flanders, Normandy: she built it strong

William sailed across, right or wrong

England's crown hung in the balance then

Normans rise with a common skin

Hastings won — Stamford too

Shield wall broke for William's crew

Not just one man, not just his name

Whole families drive the Norman flame

Pre-Chorus

History in our veins — every clash

Bastards rise and empires smash

Hastings won the war in me

Normandy's blood sets me free

Chorus

Steel and stone in me!

Rollo's line will never be beat!

Shield wall broken, England mine

I'll take the throne, I'll write the rhyme

William's legacy — blood and flame

Every Norman warrior feels the same!
