All along the river Chelmsford?s army lay asleep, Come to crush the children of Mageba

G A D

Come to exact the Realm?s price for peace

Bm G Bm G GA

And in the morning as they saddled up to ride, Their eyes shone with the fire and the steel

Bm G Bm A G

The General told them of the task that lay ahead, To bring the People of the Sky to heel

Mud and sweat on polished leather, Warm rain seeping to the bone

G A G A G A D

They rode through the season?s wet weather, Straining for a glimpse of the foe

Bm G Bm G GA

Hopeless battalion destined to die, Broken by the Benders of Kings

Bm G Bm A G

Vainglorious General and Victorian pride, Would cost him and eight hundred men their lives

A G Bm A

Impi! wo ?nans? impi iyeza Obani bengathinta amabhubesi?

They came to the side of the mountain

G A D

Scouts rode out to spy the land

G A G A

Even as the Realm?s soldiers lay resting

G A D

Mageba?s forces were soon at hand

Bm G

And by the evening the vultures were wheeling

Bm G GA

Above the ruins where the fallen lay

Bm G

An ancient song as old as the ashes

Bm A G

Echoed as Mageba?s warriors marched away

A G Bm A

Impi! wo ?nans? impi iyeza Obani bengathinta amabhubesi?

A G Bm A

Impi! wo ?nans? impi iyeza Obani bengathinta amabhubesi?

This may not be perfect, but I noticed there was nothing on the site for either Juluka or Johnny Clegg, so I had to try. If you haven?t heard this music, you are missing out. It is some of the coolest, craziest, most beautiful music ever made. I must say, I would like to

know about the story behind the song. If anyone, Johnny Clegg included, could drop an

e-mail and explain the inspiration behind this song, I would be anxious to learn more about it. Please write at fhowell@audubon.k12.ia.us
