Hola a tod@s.

En una de mis sesiones habituales de Party Shuffle de iTunes he vuelto a escuchar este auténtico himno del Heavy Metal. Grandísimo tema a cargo de Manowar que todos los brothers of metal deberían conocer. Seguro que mi gran amigo Sir Burn se alegra de recordarlo. Espero que os guste. Si tenéis ganas de escucharla, la tenéis aquí (si no sabéis los datos de acceso mandadme un correo electrónico).

Un saludo, SoTMaR.

Manowar — The Gods Made Heavy Metal

In the beginning there was silence and darkness,
All across the earth,
Then came the wind and the hole in the sky.
Thunder and lightning came crashing down,
Hit the earth and split the ground,
Fire burned high in the sky.

From down below, fire melted the stone,
The ground shook and started to pound.

The gods made heavy metal and they saw that it was good.
They said to play it louder than hell,
We promised that we would.
When losers say it’s over with, you know that it’s a lie,
The gods made heavy metal and it’s never gonna die.

We are the true believers,
It’s our turn to show the world,
In the fire of heavy metal we were burned.
It’s more than our religion it’s the only way to live,
But the enemies of metal, we can’t forgive.

Cause we believe in the power and the might,
And the gods who made metal are with us tonight.

The gods made heavy metal and they saw that it was good,
They said to play it louder than hell,
We promised that we would.
When losers say it’s over with, you know that it’s a lie,
The gods made heavy metal and it’s never gonna die.

We believe in the power and the might,
And the gods who made metal are with us tonight.

We’re here tonight for heavy metal, are you ready in the hall?
They have chosen us and we have heard the call.
Gonna tear the roof off with out sound,
Crack the walls and shake the ground,
Fight tonight for metal, one and all.

Cause we believe in the power and the might,
And the gods who made metal are with us tonight.

The gods made heavy metal and they saw that it was good.
They said to play it louder than hell,
We promised that we would.
When losers say it’s over with, you know that it’s a lie,
The gods made heavy metal and it’s never gonna die.

Hola a tod@s.

Me confieso rockero/metalero aunque no sé muy bien dónde situar la división entre ambos géneros. Por desgracia, uno de mis grupos favoritos se disolvió hace ya bastante tiempo (¿por qué me hiciste eso Axl?) y en general la música actual no me termina de convencer. Edguy sin embargo es uno de esos grupos actuales que consigue entusiasmarme con muchos de sus temas. Concretamente, siempre que escucho King Of Fools se me ponen los pelos de punta y siento un deseo irrefrenable de ponerme a cantar. Es un auténtico temazo de los que calan muy hondo, toda una declaración de principios. He tenido la suerte de poder ver en directo a Edguy dos veces en la, ahora extinta, Sala Divino Aqualung y sólo puedo decir que han sido las mejores actuaciones a las que he asistido de momento. Aquí os dejo la letra de la canción por si queréis ver a qué me refiero, espero que os guste. Si tenéis ganas de escucharla, la tenéis aquí (si no sabéis los datos de acceso preguntadme).

Edguy — King Of Fools

What do you think when you spit in my face?
How does it feel to accuse and to haze?
Now look at me, I’m not one of your kind,
And I prefer to stay behind.

And walk the wicked way!

We don’t wanna be like you,
Don’t you get that King Of Fools?
We don’t mind your life is trite,
You are the King Of Fools.

We are never gonna be like you,
We don’t follow – King of Fools,
You’re the blind to lead the blind.

And I walk the wicked way!

You feel at ease as you flock with the masses,
What do you see with your heads in their asses?
Keep on railing at what I believe,
Call me insane and I am proud to be.

And walk the wicked way!

We don’t wanna be like you,
Don’t you get that King Of Fools,
We don’t mind your life is trite,
You are the King Of Fools.

We are never gonna be like you,
We don’t follow – King of Fools,
You are the blind to lead the blind!

We don’t wanna be like you,
Don’t you get that King of Fools?
We don’t mind your life is trite,
You are the King of Fools!

We are never gonna be like you,
We don’t follow – King of Fools,
You are the blind to lead the blind.

Blind to lead the blind …

We don’t wanna be like you,
Don’t you get that King of Fools?
We don’t mind your life is trite.

We don’t mind your life is trite …

We are never gonna be like you,
We don’t follow – King of Fools,
You are the blind to lead the blind.

You are the King of Fools!
