Mit Aussage, meiner jedenfalls. Was über Nordirland, das gerät irgendwie im Moment in Vergessenheit.
The Island
They say the skies of Lebanon are burning, Those mighty Cedars bleeding in the heat, They're showing pictures on the Television, Women and children dying in the street, And we're still at it in our own place, Still trying to reach the future through the past, Still trying to carve tomorrow from a tombstone...
(Chorus) But hey ! Don't listen to me ! This wasn't meant to be no sad song, We've heard too much of that before, Right now I only want to be here with you, Till the morning dew comes falling, I want to take you to the Island, And trace your footprints in the sand, And in the evening when the sun goes down, We'll make love to the sound of the ocean.
They're raising banners over by the markets, Whitewashing slogans on the shipyard walls, Witchdoctors praying for a mighty showdown, No way our holy flag is gonna fall, Up here we sacrifice our children, To feed the worn out dreams of yesterday, And teach them dying will lead us into glory...
Now I know us plain folks don't see all the story, And I know this peace and love's just copping out, And I guess these young boys dying in the ditches, Is just what being free is all about, And how this twisted wreckage down on main street, Will bring us all together in the end, And we'll go marching down the road to freedom ... freedom ...
In a land, far beyond the sun Rules the darkness, faceless magician Black towers which raise into the sky Castle of tears, shadows passing by
Blood is covering the mighty walls Of those who lost their skin and bones No one ever saw the light Oh, slaves of the night
There's a young man, chained on a stake Liveless body, he has no strength to break His shirt is bloody, his head is hanging down He's meant to die, the ruler took his crown
The wind howles through the emptiness A different sound as in the past Screaming echoes in the lanes Oh, victims of the pain
The clouds passing by, a hole breaks the sky Light refract the dark and fills the place White winged horse, such a powerful force Gallops through the sky to break the chains
The winged horse lands by the one It snorts and stamps, the escape has just begun The chains are broken, silence fills the place He backs the horse with his last ounce of strength
The white horse rears and spreads its wings To reach the sky and search the kings The one will lead to win at last Oh, rulers of the past
The clouds passing by, a hole breaks the sky Light refract the dark and fills the place White winged horse, such a powerful force Gallops through the sky to free the land The white horse rears and spreads...
The kings return, armed with mighty swords To retake the land and banish evil thoughts They fight against the shadows, captured souls of the dark might Dethrone the evil ruler to bring sun to the night
The battle takes a heavy toll But they achieve what they're fighting for Now the land is free again Oh, no more blood and pain
The clouds passing by, a hole breaks the sky Light refract the dark and fills the place White winged horse, such a powerful force Gallops through the sky to free the land
But still at night when darkness rules again Whispering shadows creeping through the lanes Evil creatures of the expelled magician Oh, it's a fight you'll never win
Gut, über die Aussage von diesem Text kann man sich streiten... er ist nun mal so. Das Lied ist einfach klasse.
Haggard Awaking the Centuries
In the books of what will be Written by the demon lord? Never lift your head up to the east 'cause darkness wakes the best!
Der Kerzen Schein Er leuchtet fahl Als das Sonnenlicht er stahl Und nur das große Himmelszelt Bezeugt das Ende dieser Welt
So feed the spark Welcome to the land of dark Death in all the centuries is what I left behind Take my hand Forgotten in the promised land Death in all the centuries is what I left behind
The knowledge, brought to the world Is growing with a bitter taste In a dream I saw things that will be Centuries away
Des Mondes Schein Er leuchtet fahl Das Herz der Finsternis er stahl Nun gleißend Lichte ihn umgibt Und doch des Menschen Hoffnung siegt...?
So feed the spark Welcome to the land of dark Death in all the centuries is what I left behind Take my hand Forgotten in the promised land Death in all the centuries is what I left behind
The night when evil steps out of the dark And the cross is rising again And fires are keeping the light Burn, my friend...
And the sign of humanity is burning tonight I can't escape from this ritual silence Humanity's burning tonight
When I open my eyes I see soldiers in the fields Dead bodies on the ground There are children inbetween Explosions shock the land And the evil shows its face The one called Hister rises This is the fall of grace...
Beast ferocious from hunger will swim across rivers The greater part of the region will be against the Hister The great one will cause it to be dragged in an iron cage When the German child will observe nothing
In the books of what will be Written by the demon lord? Never lift your head up to the east 'cause darkness wakes the best!
Der Kerzen Schein Er leuchtet fahl Als das Sonnenlicht er stahl Und nur das große Himmelszelt Bezeugt das Ende dieser Welt
So feed the spark Welcome to the land of dark Death in all the centuries is what I left behind Take my hand Forgotten in the promised land Death in all the centuries is what I left behind
The knowledge, brought to the world Is growing with a bitter taste In a dream I saw things that will be Centuries away
So feed the spark Welcome to the land of dark Death in all the centuries is what I left behind Take my hand Forgotten in the promised land
Death in all the centuries is what I left behind
And the sign of humanity is burning tonight I can't escape from this ritual silence Humanity's burning tonight
Ich bin ein Teil von jener Kraft Die Böses will und Gutes schafft Ich bin der Geist der stets verneint Der Böses will und Gutes meint
Und das mit Recht, denn alles was entsteht Ist wert, dass es zugrunde geht Denn besser wär's, dass nichts entstünde So ist denn alles was Ihr Sünde Zerstörung, kurz das Böse nennt Mein eigentliches Element
Ich bin einTeil von jener Kraft Die Böses will und Gutes schafft Ich bin der Geist der stets verneint Der Böses will und Gutes meint
Bescheidne Wahrheit sprech ich Euch Wenn sich der Mensch in seiner Narrenwelt Gewöhnlich für ein ganzes hält Ich bin ein Teil des Teils,der anfangs alles war Ein Teil der Finsternis Die sich das Licht gebar
Ich bin einTeil von jener Kraft Die Böses will und Gutes schafft Ich bin der Geist der stets verneint Der Böses will und Gutes meint
Ich will mich hier zu Deinem Dienst verbinden Auf deinen Wink nicht rasten und nicht ruh'n Wenn wir uns auf der andern Seite wiederfinden Sollt Du für mich das gleich tun
In the shadow of the moon, She danced in the starlight Whispering a haunting tune To the night... Velvet skirts spun 'round and 'round Fire in her stare In the woods without a sound No one cared... Through the darkened fields entranced, Music made her poor heart dance, Thinking of a lost romance... Long ago... Feeling lonely, feeling sad, She cried in the moonlight. Driven by a world gone mad She took flight... "Feel no sorrow, feel no pain, Feel no hurt, there's nothing gained... Only love will then remain," She would say. Shadow of the Moon... Shadow of the Moon... Somewhere just beyond the mist Spirits were seen flying As the lightning led her way Through the dark... Shadow of the Moon..
