eCon One Musical News - January 1066 Newsy Bits Lyrics

In the year of 1066, the tale was told
Of Edward the Confessor, with a heart of gold
King of England, wise and fair
On January 5th, he left this earthly lair

Oh, Edward the Confessor, your legacy lives on
In the hearts of your people, you'll never be gone
Your reign may have ended, but your spirit remains
In the annals of history, your memory sustains

With no heir to the throne, a power struggle arose
Noble claimants vying, to be the one who knows
Who'll wear the crown of England, in this time of strife
Harold, William, Harald, each seeking a new life

Oh, Edward the Confessor, your legacy lives on
In the hearts of your people, you'll never be gone
Your reign may have ended, but your spirit remains
In the annals of history, your memory sustains

In the coming months, a die will be cast
And change the future, of the Kingdom's path
1066, a year of change and fate
England transformed, by Edward's final date

Oh, Edward the Confessor, your legacy lives on
In the hearts of your people, you'll never be gone
Your reign may have ended, but your spirit remains
In the annals of history, your memory sustains

In the annals of history, your memory sustains

So raise a toast to Edward, the Confessor true
In the tapestry of time, his story we renew
His passing marked a turning point, in England's grand design
Edward the Confessor, in our hearts, will forever shine
