Part 2 Retribution

from The White Witch - A Symphonic Trilogy by Magenta

  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    This is the CD of the new Magenta album 'The White Witch - A Symphonic Trilogy'.
    It comes in digi-file format with an 8 page booklet.


    Magenta's brand new, and long awaited, 9th studio album sees a major change in direction from past works. A fully orchestrated affair with no drums or bass anywhere to be found (sorry Dan and Jiffy :) ) with Christina, like a fine wine, getting better with age and really gelling gloriously with the music. Chris Fry provides a classical guitar clinic which certainly augments the overall lush sound and that brings us to Robert Reed. While composers like Hans Zimmer, John Williams and Howard Shore are at the forefront of modern day film music scores, Rob succeeds in producing, arranging and adapting Magenta's unique sound so that he stands alongside some of the greatest composers of the modern era.

    'White Witch - A Symphonic Trilogy' will take you on a musical exploration the likes of which you've never experienced.

lyrics

The Plague defeated, life for Sara, and a grateful village, returns to normal. Daily routines are resumed. Lives move on. But as the days drag on in a war-torn land, people’s old prejudices return.
Fear of the unknown, fear of Her power. Emotions are stirred.
The call goes out, fees are paid - Master Hopkins is on his way. Scared, shunned and scorned, who can Sara turn to?

Looking out on a whole new world
With my life to regain, no more fighting in vain
Waking up to this village life
People living the day, all forgiven they say

See the looks as the passing by
Once more suspicion starts, fear creeps into their hearts
Slipping back to the old sad ways
No more needing the herbs, hate to fear to serve

Day arrives and they all are there
They all try to do good but they‘re shouting for blood
Playing out Mathew Hopkin’s will
Know I’m damned by their hate
For my soul it’s too late
I’m resigned to my fate

Confess and save your soul
Confess and save your soul
Confess the pain it will cease
They say confess, your mind to release
They say confess, believe in our God
They say confess

Confess the pain it will cease
They say confess, your mind to release
They say confess, believe in our God
They say confess

Take my soul to live again
To do your will but who knows when?
Show me your way
Another time another place
To live and serve the human race
Show me your way
Give me new life
Give me new life
Soul needs new life
Must have new life

As the flames get high
I’m holding out my hand
Give me brand new life
Take me in your arms

Into your arms my sister Luna
Into your arms my sister Luna
Into your arms my sister Luna
Into your arms my sister Luna
