- Forefather's deeply evocative epic "When Our England Died" is a tribute to the last days of Anglo-Saxon England, a homage to the valiant Huscarls and Fyrd men who fought and fell in three crucial battles defending their homeland, that fateful Autumn of AD 1066...

Lyrics:
Wearily to the last battle they strode
Onward through day and through night
To death they did go but they let them know
The power of Angelisc might
Together they walked and together they'd fall
Under the Autumn sky
With victory song behind shield-wall strong
They slashed and they battered with pride
Over river and stream and through forest and field
They marched with fire in their eyes
Wiping the sweat from their brows
For miles they had fared and no effort was spared
On the day when our England died...
