about

On the first album in ‘Hengist Ridge’, Hengist sought advice from his dead brother, Horsa, on the eve of battle (“Dear brother, you’d know what to do’). On this album, ‘Horsa from beyond the Grave’, imagines Horsa replying from beyond the grave. Alas for Hengist it’s not the advice on how to win the battle that he hoped for. A redemptive message and final challenge to create a lasting legacy is presented by his dead brother, one where Hengist would fight a different war…. this time for forgiveness, and peace as a final lasting legacy.

lyrics

Horsa From Beyond The Grave

Yes, dear brother I know what to do, but I'm not the man that you once knew
From here beyond the grave, built bids me you to save
Your redemption that I crave

Why were we so selfish and cruel, over whom we sought to rule?
Big ideas we thought the best
Best for us but not the rest

It's time to heal, time to make amends
It's time to give, make trusted friends
It's time to turn from oppressive power
Time to change, you have this sacred hour

Seize the day, wage a different war
Fight for peace, destroy no more
Not yesterday, not tomorrow
Today's the day to heal the sorrow

Oh from whence such wisdom for fools? I'd lose my right to rule!
To empower the serfs and slaves
Retribution comes in waves

They'd take revenge as once did we
Mobbed and slain, I'd be dead like thee!
No, my legacy will endure
I will crush, not kneel before!

It's time to heal, don't you know it's time to make amends
It's time to give, you need to make trusted friends
It's time to turn, turn away from oppressive power
Time to change, you have this sacred hour

Seize the day, wage a different war
Destroy no more
Not yesterday, not tomorrow
Today's the day to heal the sorrow
