about

Moggs Eye is the name of the beach near Hutoft Bank. Here, until a recent shifting of sand, a petrified, primeval forest could be seen at low-tide.

lyrics

Engrossed in the death-throes of a savage, winter's day.
A fine dusting of snow covers petrified sand at Moggs Eye.
And a lone fisherman casts blindly, deep into Doggerland.
The sodden peat beneath his feet: concealing memories of a land now lost.

On the beach a bonfire burns.
Floating embers litter the brittle sky.
A gentle breeze disturbs the ash creating a timeless, primeval setting.
The dark flakes fall, silent on a frosted strand.
Delicate cinders: quick to be quenched by racing tide.

What's that I hear? A labouring engine drones overhead.
Phantom lights ignite low, foreboding clouds.
Are these the echoes of flying boats or animal gods?
As smoke drifts across the dunes, a tangled kite flutters against a choked sand-fence.
Believe me. There are ghosts at Moggs Eye.
