Και μετά από μια βδομάδα κι αφού συνήλθαμε κάπως, ορίστε τι είδαμε στη Βουλγαρία.
Υ.Γ. Το να βλέπεις το Holy Wars και το Hangar 18 υπό χαλαζόπτωση είναι μια μοναδική εμπειρία.
Am I Evil?
[Original: Diamond Head]
My mother was a witch, she was burned alive. Thankless little bitch, for the tears I cried. Take her down now, don't want to see her face All blistered and burnt, can't hide my disgrace.
Twenty-seven, everyone was nice. Gotta see 'em make 'em pay the price. See their bodies out on the ice. Take my time.
Am I evil? Yes I am. Am I evil? I am man, yes I am.
As I watched my mother die, I lost my head. Revenge now I sought, to break with my bread. Taking no chances, you come with me. I'll split you to the bone, help set you free.
Twenty-seven, everyone was nice. Gotta see 'em make 'em pay the price. See their bodies out on the ice. Take my time.
Am I evil? Yes I am. Am I evil? I am man, yes I am.
Λοιπόν, για να γίνω και επίκαιρος. Έχουμε 4 κομμάτια από τα 4 μεγάλα συγκροτήματα που θα δω εγώ αύριο Βουλγαρία και θα έρθουν Πέμπτη στην Ελλάδα. 4+4=8. Τα τρια από αυτά είναι τετραμελή, ενώ το άλλο πενταμελές. Σύνολο 17 άτομα. 1+7=8. Το όλο festival θα ξεκινήσει κατά τις 17:00 (doors open). 1+7=8. Ε, να μην κρατήσει και κάνα 11ώρο; Όλο μαζί, 11888. Τυχαίο; Δεν νομίζω. Απολαύστε...
One
I Can't Remember Anything Can't Tell If this Is True or Dream Deep down Inside I Feel to Scream this Terrible Silence Stops Me Now That the War Is Through with Me I'm Waking up I Can Not See That There's Not Much Left of Me Nothing Is Real but Pain Now
Hold My Breath as I Wish for Death Oh Please God,wake Me
Back in the Womb its Much Too Real in Pumps Life That I must Feel but Can't Look Forward to Reveal Look to the Time When I'll Live Fed Through the Tube That Sticks in Me Just like a Wartime Novelty Tied to Machines That Make Me Be Cut this Life off from Me
Hold My Breath as I Wish for Death Oh Please God,wake Me
Now the World Is Gone I'm Just One Oh God,help Me Hold My Breath as I Wish for Death Oh Please God Help Me
Darkness
Imprisoning Me All That I See Absolute Horror I Cannot Live I Cannot Die Trapped in Myself Body My Holding Cell
Landmine
Has Taken My Sight Taken My Speech Taken My Hearing Taken My Arms Taken My Legs Taken My Soul Left Me with Life in Hell
South Of Heaven
[Lyrics: Araya; Music: Hanneman]
An unforseen future nestled somewhere in time. Unsuspecting victims no warnings, no signs. Judgment day the second coming arrives. Before you see the light you must die.
Forgotten children, conform a new faith, Avidity and lust controlled by hate. (The) Never ending search for your shattered sanity, Souls of Damnation in their own reality.
Chaos rampant, An age of distrust. Confrontations. Impulsive habitat.
Bastard sons begat your cunting daughters, Promiscuous mothers with your incestuous fathers. Engreat souls condemned for all eternity, Obtained by immoral observance a domineering deity.
Chaos rampant, An age of distrust. Confrontations. Impulsive sabbath.
On and on, south of heaven [x 4]
[LEAD: KING]
The root of all evil is the heart of a black soul. A force that has lived all eternity. The never ending search for a truth never told. The loss of all hope and your dignity.
Chaos rampant, An age of distrust. Confrontations. Impulsive habitat.
On and on, south of heaven [x 4]
[LEAD: HANNEMAN]
Holy Wars...The Punishment Due
Brother will kill brother Spilling blood across the land Killing for religion Something I don't understand
Fools like me, who cross the sea And come to foreign lands Ask the sheep, for their beliefs Do you kill on God's command?
A country that's divided Surely will not stand My past erased, no more disgrace No foolish naive stand
The end is near, it's crystal clear Part of the master plan Don't look now to Israel It might be in your homelands
Holy wars
Upon my podium, as the Know it all scholar Down in my seat of judgement Gavel's bang, uphold the law Up on my soapbox, a leader Out to change the world Down in my pulpit as the holier Than-thou-could-be-messenger of God
Wage the war on organized crime Sneak attacks, repel down the rocks Behind the lines Some people risk to employ me Some people live to destroy me Either way they die.
They killed my wife, and my baby With hopes to enslave me First mistake...last mistake! Paid by the alliance, to slay all the giants Next mistake...no more mistakes!
Fill the cracks in, with judicial granite Because I don't say it, don't mean I ain't thinking it Next thing you know, they'll take my thoughts away I know what I said, now I must scream of the overdose And the lack of mercy killings.
Indians
We all see black and white When it comes to someone else's fight No one ever gets involved Apathy can never solve
[BRIDGE:] FORCED OUT - Brave and mighty STOLEN LAND - They can't fight it HOLD ON - To pride and tradition Even though they know how much their lives are really missin' WE'RE DISSIN' THEM ...
[PRE-CHORUS:] On reservation A hopeless situation
Respect is something that you earn Our Indian brother's getting burned Original American Turned into, second class citizen
[REPEAT BRIDGE] [REPEAT PRE-CHORUS]
[CHORUS:] Cry for the Indians Die for the Indians Cry for the Indians Cry, Cry, Cry for the Indians
Love the land and fellow man Peace is what we strive to have Some folks have none of this Hatred and prejudice
[MOSH PART] [WARDANCE] TERRITORY, It's just the body of the nation The people that inhabit it make its configuration PREJUDICE, Something we all can do without Cause a flag of many colors is what this land's all about
[LEAD BREAK]
[REPEAT FIRST VERSE] [REPEAT BRIDGE] [REPEAT PRE-CHORUS] [REPEAT CHORUS]
Το μόνο που θα πω είναι να δείτε την ταινία οπωσδήποτε αν δεν την έχετε ήδη δει (Life of Brian για τους μη μυημένους).
words and music by Eric Idle
Some things in life are bad They can really make you mad Other things just make you swear and curse. When you're chewing on life's gristle Don't grumble, give a whistle And this'll help things turn out for the best...
And...always look on the bright side of life... Always look on the light side of life...
If life seems jolly rotten There's something you've forgotten And that's to laugh and smile and dance and sing. When you're feeling in the dumps Don't be silly chumps Just purse your lips and whistle - that's the thing.
And...always look on the bright side of life... Always look on the light side of life...
For life is quite absurd And death's the final word You must always face the curtain with a bow. Forget about your sin - give the audience a grin Enjoy it - it's your last chance anyhow.
So always look on the bright side of death Just before you draw your terminal breath
Life's a piece of shit When you look at it Life's a laugh and death's a joke, it's true. You'll see it's all a show Keep 'em laughing as you go Just remember that the last laugh is on you.
And always look on the bright side of life... Always look on the right side of life... (Come on guys, cheer up!) Always look on the bright side of life... Always look on the bright side of life... (Worse things happen at sea, you know.) Always look on the bright side of life... (I mean - what have you got to lose?) (You know, you come from nothing - you're going back to nothing. What have you lost? Nothing!) Always look on the right side of life...
Επιστρέφουμε στους Dream Theater και στο αριστουργηματικό Awake με δυο πολύ ωραία κομμάτια.
The Mirror
Temptation- Why won't you leave me alone? Lurking Every Corner, everywhere I go
Self Control- Don't turn your back on me now When I need you the most
Constant pressure tests my will My will or my won't My Self Control escapes from me still...
Hypocrite- How could you be so cruel and expect my faith in return?
Resistance- Is not as hard as it seems When you close the door
I spent so long trusting in you I trust you forgot Just when I thought I believed in you...
[Sample is Meryl Streep from the film "Falling In Love".] "What're you doing? What're you doing?"
It's time for me to deal Becoming all too real living in fear- Why did you lie and pretend? This has come to an end I'll never trust you again It's time you made your amends Look in the mirror my friend
[Sample is Jeremy Irons from the film "Damage".] "That I haven't behaved as I should" [Sample is Mary Beth Hurt from the film "Light Sleeper".] "Everything you need is around you. The only danger is inside you." [Sample is Jeremy Irons from the film "Damage".] "I thought you could control life, but it's not like that. There are things you can't control."
Let's stare the problem right in the eye It's plagued me from coast to coast Racing the clock to please everyone All but the one who matters the most
Reflections of reality are slowly coming into view How in the hell could you possibly forgive me? After all the hell I put you through
It's time for me to deal Becoming all too real living in fear- Why'd I betray my friend? Lying until the end Living life so pretend It's time to make my amends I'll never hurt you again
Lie
Daybreak at the bottom of lake it's a hundred degrees I can't breathe And I won't get out 'til I figure it out Though I'm weak like I can't believe So you tell me 'trust me' l can trust you Just let me show you But I gotta work it out in a shadow of doubt 'cause I don't know if I know you
Doing fine but don't waste my time Tell me what it is you want to say You sin, you win, just let me in - hurry I've been out in the rain all day So you tell me 'trust me' I can trust you as far as I can throw you And I'm trying to get out of a shadow of doubt 'cause I don't know if I know you
Don't tell me you wanted me Don't tell me you thought of me I won't, I swear I won't (Did) I'll try, I swear I'll try (Lie)
Mother Mary quite contrary Kiss the boys and make them wary Things are getting just a little bit scary It's a wonder I can still breathe
Never been much of a doubting Thomas but nothing breaks like a broken promise You tell me 'bout your two more coming but once is just enough for me
I had gotten used to being a soul destroyed She comes in apparently to fill the void All dogs need a leash and at least I'll forget it And she would never hurt me though she's never said it But I'm not gonna ask her today I don't wanna scare her away Your town, I'm all alone and I just can't stare at the phone I wanna talk about lifelong mistakes and you can tell your stepfather I said so
Don't tell me you wanted me Don't tell me you thought of me I won't, I swear I won't (Did) I'll try, I swear I'll try (Lie)
Φαντάζομαι πόσο κλισέ θα ακούγεται, αλλά ήταν μια φοβερή συναυλία αυτή των Epica την Κυριακή 30/5. Δεν νομίζω να είναι μόνο προσωπική εντύπωση, αλλά κάθε φορά που έρχονται είναι καλύτεροι από την προηγούμενη. Θεωρώ ότι μαζί με τους Pain of Salvation και σε κάποια σημεία με Dream Theater, Blind Guardian και Dio (R.I.P.) είναι από τις μπάντες που παρακολούθησα και δείχνουν ότι πραγματικά απολαμβάνουν τι κάνουν και το περνούν με τέτοιο τρόπο στον κόσμο, που είναι αδύνατο να μη συμμετέχεις ακόμα κι αν βρέθηκες εκεί από σπόντα. Χωρίς πολλά άλλα, πάρτε μέχρι στιγμής το μεγαλύτερο χρονικά κομμάτι τους.
Kingdom Of Heaven - A New Age Dawns - Pt. V
[I. Hold In Derision]
Pioneering, big breakthroughs Proceeded by the opposition Hold in derision all that's new Afraid to lose their own esteem
Scorn shall be directed at the genius Represses subtle theories of the light to the questions of life
Quantum physics lead us to Answers to the great taboos We create the world around us God is every living soul
Science, spirituality Will have to meet along the way and We need new drifts, another view Expand our grip on the cryptic soul
Hope is more than a postponed disappointment
Non intellegens nil explicas Videre nolens nil capies Non intellegens nil explicas Incognita non vides
Open your Sahasrara
[II. Children Of The Light]
Light creates us all Pride will make us fall Life is meaningful Life delight us all
Light creates us all Pride divides us all Life is meaningful The soul survives us all
Misled by science Our wake up call Conditioning cannot fool us 'till the end
[III. Bardo Thödol]
Guide us safety through the gates of death
[IV. Paragons Of Perfection]
Nothing here will be the same I'll see the world through different eyes and I was given clarity And the wisdom I can't deny
All that we can never see Until we leave this frail existence Is just a shadow of reality Death is not the final instance
It's not your time You have to go back... back! Now!
No, no, I don't want to return, please let me stay here, don't make me go back
Go back, you've got work to do
We're not alone, we are all one.
Nothing here will be the same The smallest bit is as big as nature Our limited capacities Gives us trouble to comprehend
We are linked in every way And we're strong as our weakest fragment Every word that we convey Is an act with consequences
[V. The Harsh Return]
Light creates us all Pride will make us fall Life is meaningful Life delight us all
Light creates us all Pride divides us all Life is meaningful The soul survives us all
