Henceforth is a heavy metal, progressive rock band from Brasil and first saw the light of day back in 1993, when Hugo, Fabio (both former members of Wardeath, a trash metal band) and Andre Nikakis (former Final Garden bass player) got together to start a new band. After some time, the line-up was stabilized with Hugo (g), Andre (b), Fabio (d), Daniel Matos (v, Andre Matos' younger brother) and Cristiano Altieri (k). In 1996 the band recorded its first demo tape "The Last Day", containing 3 songs ("Leave", "Runaway" and "The Last Day"), which was reviewed in several publications throughout the world and was highly acclaimed by the fans. By then the band was playing in the underground circuit at its hometown, São Paulo. Further down the road, singer Daniel left the band to work in other musical projects. He was replaced by BJ, who would be introduced to the public on the second 3-song ("In the Garden", "Reaching for the Sky" and "Tales") demo. With this line-up the band would play at some bigger venues as openning acts for Angra. BJ left the band on June, 2000 (a little less than one year after the band started working with Guilherme and Luis on the pre-production of the debut album). He was replaced by Frank Harris, whose style fitted even better into the band's music. Late in 2001 the band started recording its debut-CD, but due to a number of factors work on the CD was virtually interrupted in 2002 only to re-start on early 2003. In the mean time, another line-up change: bass player Andre decides to leave the band and move to Greece; his position was filled by Hugo's brother and Shaaman bass player Luis Mariutti.
Henceforth today remains faithful to its roots by mixing Heavy Metal and Progressive Rock, but sounding heavier than ever before. The self-titled debut album was released in Brazil in December, 2005 via Voice Music.

Lie
HencefortH Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Rewind my life, looking for mistakes
Falling rain and a black sky
Choices I had to make
To live my life in other way
Without the load
In my mind there's much to change
I must face the pain
Can you see it in my eyes?
Regret for what I've done fills my heart
Circumstances conspired
Brought me to this point
Now I know there’s no way back
Lie - that's all that I've become
Lie - please walk me to my grave
Inside my head the confusion goes on
I don't know how to tell what is real and what's not
Maybe this is why I made the wrong choices
Or maybe it is the outcome of it all
I try to listen to the inner voice
It keeps whispering deceiving words
That take down my hopes and all my dreams
I can’t take it anymore
Lie - that's all that I've become
Lie - please walk me to my grave
Lie - that's all that I've become
Lie - please walk me to my grave
The lyrics to HencefortH's song "Lie" reflects a sense of regret and reflection on past choices and mistakes. The song begins with the desire for another chance to start again, to rewind life and search for any errors or missteps that may have occurred along the way. The imagery of falling rain and a black sky sets a somber tone, symbolizing the hardships and challenges faced while making the decisions that have led to this point.
The singer expresses the longing to live life differently, without the burdens and regrets that currently weigh heavily on their mind. There is a recognition that certain decisions cannot be escaped or undone, and the pain of these choices must be faced head-on. The lyrics capture a sense of internal struggle, highlighted by the line "Can you see it in my eyes? Regret for what I've done fills my heart." The circumstances that have conspired have brought the singer to a point of no return, where going back is no longer possible.
The second verse delves into the confusion within the singer's mind, which contributes to the wrong choices made. There is a realization that perhaps the confusion itself is both the cause and effect of these mistakes. The inner voice, though attempted to be listened to, only whispers deceiving words that shatter hopes and dreams. This internal turmoil becomes overwhelming, reaching a breaking point where the singer can no longer bear it.
Overall, the lyrics of "Lie" convey a deep sense of remorse and the feeling of being trapped by the consequences of past actions. It explores themes of internal conflict, confusion, and the desire for redemption.
