the frailty of memory - helgafell lyrics
suffer not in silence
for the voices fail to fade
from southern coast to highlands
where stronger men were made
the ritual of tradition
now carried out by few
the heather, hills and rivers
a scene for old and new
bonds torn asunder
heraldry’s defeat
squabble in distraction
from ruins at our feet
the noose of betrayal tightens
lessons are thwarted from sight
but linger still does the knowledge
of our ancestors’ foresight
the soldiers and the craftsmen
the maidens and the wives
maintained an ancient heartbeat
that prolonged wiser lives
the warriors of distant pasts
whose blood still dwells with ours
the carvings that tell of battle fears
and foretell the power of stars
memory holds resilience
stone lives through the fray
ancestors in their millions
died not to be forgotten one day
rekindling of valour through idols
reemergence of strength through their deeds
our forbears in memoriam
who in honour’s name fell to their knees
