Holy Diver...

Στις 25 Μαΐου του 1983 ο γίγαντας κοντός Ronnie James Dio -RIP- κυκλοφόρησε τον πρώτο του προσωπικό δίσκο με τίτλο Holy Diver

Έχει ψηφιστεί ως ο 8ος καλύτερος δίσκος απο τα Top 25 Metal Albums.

Μπορεί το peak των charts να ήταν το #13 στην Αγγλία και το #56 στην Αμερική ,αλλά ο δίσκος μετά απο σχεδόν 30 χρόνια εξακολουθεί να τα σπάει...

Δεν κουράζει καθόλου, γιατί έχει πολλές εναλλαγές στους ρυθμούς και στην δυναμική του κάθε τραγουδιού.

Οι περισσότεροι ίσως να γνωρίζουν το ομώνυμο και το Rainbow In The Dark...

Ε λοιπόν σας έχω νέα...όσοι είστε fan του Rainbow In The Dark, πρέπει να μάθετε ότι ο Dio δεν το γούσταρε μια το τραγούδι με τα έντονα πλήκτρα, γιατί ήταν πολύ pop για τα γούστα του... (όπως επίσης ήταν κι ένας λόγος που έφυγε απο τους Rainbow του Blackmore)
Γεια σου ρε αθάνατε κοντέ...

To πολλά βαρύ -και όχι- track list είναι το εξής:

1. Stand Up And Shout
2. Holy Diver
3. Gypsy
4. Caught in the Middle
5. Don't Talk to Strangers
6. Straight Through the Heart
7. Invisible
8. Rainbow In The Dark
9. Shame on the Night

Credits: Ronnie James Dio - φωνή - Vivian Cambell - κιθάρα - Jimmy Bain - μπάσο - και Vinnie Appice - τύμπανα -


Για τους μη-μυημένους προτείνω τα Caught In The Middle -διαβάστε και τους στίχους αξίζει- Don't Talk To Strangers -επίσης- και το Rainbow In The Dark...

Τρελά αγαπημένο είναι το Shame On The Night.......ΚΑΘΕ φορά με ταξιδεύει....

Οι υπόλοιποι....

N'joy



It's the same old song
You've gotta be somewhere at sometime
They never let you fly

It's like broken glass
You get cut before you see it
So open up your eyes

You've got desire
So let it out
You've got the fire
Stand up and shout-shout

You've got wings of steel
But they never really move you
You only seem to crawl

You've been nailed to the wheel
But never really turning
You know you've got to want it all

You are the strongest chain
And not just some reflection
So never hide again

You are the driver
You own the road
You are the fire go on explode



Holy Diver
You've been down too long in the midnight sea
Oh what's becoming of me

Ride the tiger
You can see his stripes but you know he's clean
Oh don't you see what I mean

Gotta get away
Holy Diver

Got!
Shiny diamonds
Like the eyes of a cat in the black and blue
Something is coming for you

Look out!
Race for the morning
You can hide in the sun 'till you see the light
Oh we will pray it's all right

Gotta get away-get away

Between the velvet lies
There's a truth that's hard as steel
The vision never dies
Life's a never ending wheel

Holy Diver
You're the star of the masquerade
No need to look so afraid

Jump on the tiger
You can feel his heart but you know he's mean
Some light can never be seen


Gotta get away
Get away
Gotta get away
Get away yeah

Holy Diver
sole survivor
your armours clean

Holy Diver



She was straight from Hell
But you never could tell
Cause you were blinded by her light
She could crack your brain
With magic pain
And turn a paler shade of white

(Well) I was on the free
Just me and me
And just about to sail

When I heard the voice
Said you got a choice
The hammer or the nail

You'll be ridin'
You'll be ridin' on the gypsy

Well I rolled the bones
To see who'd own
My mind and what's within

And it's a given rule
That we're all fools
And need to have a little sin

So I'm ridin'
I've been ridin' on the gypsy
On the gypsy queen

So she cracked my brain
With magic pain
And turned my left around to right, right




Looking inside of yourself
You might see someone you don't know
Maybe it's just what you need
Letting the river in you flow

You can sail away to the sun
And let it burn you while you can
Or walk a long bloody road
Like the hero who never ran

You'll feel it
You'll feel it
You'll feel the rush of it all

Flying away int the clouds
You know you're loosing your control
Finding you way in the dark
Like some poor forgotten soul

You'll feel it
You'll see it
You'll feel the rush of the city lights
You'll fell it
I see it in your eyes, you're

Caught in the middle
Just like the way you've always been
Caught in the middle
Helpless again

Looking inside of yourself
You might see someone you don't know
Maybe it's just what you need
Letting the river I know that's in you flow



Don't talk to strangers
Cause they're only there to do you harm
Don't write in starlight
Cause the words may come out real
Don't hide in doorways
You may find the key that opens up your soul
Don't go to Heaven cause it's really only Hell
Don't smell the flowers
They're an evil drug to make you lose your mind
Don't dream of women cause they'll only bring you down

Hey you you know me you've touched I'm real
I'm forever the one that lets you look and see and
Feel me I'm danger - I'm the stranger

I I'm darkness I'm anger I'm pain
I am master
The evil song you sing inside your brain
Drive you insane
Don't talk
Don't let them inside your mind yeah
Run away run away go

No no don't let them in your mind
Protect your soul

Don't dance in darkness
You may stumble and you're sure to fall
Don't write in starlight
Cause the words may come out real

Don't talk to strangers
Cause they're only there to make you sad
Don't dream of women
Cause they'll only bring you down

Yeah
Run away run away



Hanging from the cobwebs in you mind
It looks like a long long way to fall
No one ever told me life was kind
I guess I never heard it, never heard it all

Living in a world of make believe
I can hide behind what's real
But wearing your emotions on your sleeve
And they all know what you feel

And here it comes again
Straight through the heart
Never tell a secret with your eyes
It's the eyes that let you down
Tell a little truth with many lies
It's the only way I've found

Oh here it comes again
Straight through the heart

Shout to the wind
How can you hurt me this way
Oh once it begins
It looks like it's coming to stay




If your circle stays unbroken
Then you're a lucky man
Cause it never, never, never has for me

In the palace of the virgin
Lies the chalice of the soul
And it's likely you might find the answer there

She had thirteen years of teenage tears
And never a helping hand
She had fourteen more of rain before
She saw the sight of land
She was a photograph just ripped in half
A smile inside a frown
And the the light, the answer right
Inside her coming down

I can go away
I can leave here
I can be invisible

He was just eighteen and in-between
A lady and a man
His daddie's girl in momma's world
And that was when he ran
You know the word confused has been abused
But that's just what he was
And then the spark inside the dark
The answer came because it said

You can go away
You can leave here
You can be invisible

Well I grew up quick and I felt the kick
Of life upon a stage
So I bought the book and took a fast look
At just the very last page
It was a single word that I'd just heard
From the two that came before
The only way to really stay
Is to walk right out the door

You can go away
Lord you know it's right to leave here
So I just become invisible



When there's lightning
You know it always brings me down
Cause it's free and I see that it's me
Who's lost and never found
I cry out for magic
I feel it dancing in the light
It was cold, lost my hold
To the shadows of the night

No sign of the morning coming
You've been left on your own
Like a Rainbow in the Dark
A Rainbow in the Dark

Do your demons
Do they ever let you go
When you've tried do they hide deep inside
Is it someone that you know
You're just a picture
you're an image caught in time
We're alive you and I
We're words without a rhyme

There's no sign of the morning coming
You've been left on your own
Like a Rainbow in the Dark
Just a Rainbow in the Dark

When I see lightning
You know it always brings me down
Cause it's free and I see that it's me
Who's lost and never found
Feel the magic
I feel it floating in the air
But it's fear and you'll hear it calling you beware
Look Out!

There's no sight of the morning coming
There's no sign of the day
You've been left on your own
Like a Rainbow
Like a Rainbow in the Dark Yeah . . .
Your a Rainbow in the Da a a a a ark
Just a Rainbow in the Dark
No sign of the morning
Just a Rainbow in the Dark



Shame on the night
For places I've been
And what I've seen
For giving me the strangest dreams
But you'll never let me know just what they mean
Oh, So shame on the night
alright...

And Shame on you
You stolen the day
Snatched it away
But I saw the sky
And I never want to die
Now you know the reason why
I Say, Oh shame on the night

You don't care what you've done
So I think I'd better run

Shame on the sun
For the light you sold
I've lost my hold
On the magic flame
But now I know your name
Oh lord just go the way you came again
Oh,Oh shame on the night

Shame on the night
Shame shame on you
Shame on a dream
Shame on the sun and you
Shame on the night

Well i lost my hold in a magic flame
But Now i know your name

Shame on the night
Shame on you
Shame on all of you

Rory Gallagher...

Στις 23 Μαΐου του 1971 ο Rory Gallagher κυκλοφόρησε τον πρώτο του προσωπικό δίσκο με τίτλο.... Rory Gallagher

Μετά την αποχώρησή του απο τους Taste ξεκίνησε με άλλους δυο μουσικούς απο το Belfast -τον μπασίστα Gerry McVoy και τον ντράμερ Wilgar Campell- την σόλο καριέρα του... -και καλά έκανε-

Ο δίσκος έφτασε στο #32 της Αγγλίας -καθόλου άσχημα για πρώτη κυκλοφορία-

Ο Gallagher συνδύασε με μοναδικό τρόπο τα blues -κυρίως- με την rock, τα folk και τα country -ενίοτε και jazz- στοιχεία.

Αν και προσωπικά πιστεύω οτι ο ήχος και η παραγωγή γενικότερα αδικεί τον δίσκο, παρόλα αυτά -ακόμα κι έτσι- είναι ένας εξαιρετικός δίσκος.

Το track list είναι το εξής:

1. Laundromat
2. Just the Smile
3. I Fall Apart
4. Wave Myself Goodbye
5. Hands Up
6. Sinner Boy
7. For the Last Time
8. It's You
9. I'm Not Surprised
10. Can't Believe It's True

Αγαπημένα τα Just The Smile, I Fall Apart, For The Last Time τα οποία και προτείνω στους μη-μυημένους...

Οι υπόλοιποι...

n'joy


ΥΓ Επιφυλάσσομαι στο μέλλον να αναρτήσω φωτογραφίες απο την μπάντα που παίζαμε το For The Last Time -το οποίο τραγουδούσα κιόλας : )))) -



What do you think of that?
I'm sleeping down at the laundromat,
If you should pass by,
Be sure to drop right in.

Well I don't have no clothes to clean,
To put inside the machine,
It was the craziest place,
I have ever been.

Come 'round and meet my friends,
They'll be there with me,
With me to the end,
With me to the end,
With me to the end.

They say I told you so,
Maybe bad times come and go,
If you don't know that right now,
But then you'll never know.

But baby bad times come and go,

If you don't know that right now,
But then you'll never know.

Just the smile that is spreading all over her face,
Could warm up the room and set fire to the place.
Yes it could, you know it could.

Now the fog is clinging all over the town,
Put one foot in front then you just might fall down.
On the ground, she's in town.

But like the rain that is falling all over the land,
She cools down my mind when she touches my hand.
Feels so good, yeah so good.



Like a cat that's playing with a ball of twine,
That you call my heart,
Oh but baby is it so hard,
To tell the two apart?
And so slowly you unwind me,
'Til I fall apart.

I'm only living for the hour,
That I see your face,
And when that happens,
I don't wanna be no other place,
'Til the end of time,
You'll be on my mind.

I don't mind,
Waiting for your love,
Borrowed time,
I've got plenty of,
Rain or shine,
Please bring out your love,
Make it shine,
Like the stars above.

I'm only living for the moment,
When I hear your voice,
Oh, I'm waiting,
I don't have any choice,
And the day is long,
So won't you come where you should be.

Well I don't know, anymore,
I don't know, why I feel so sore,
I only know, I love you more,
Feel so blue, I think I'll wave myself goodbye.

The people say it, you look away,
From my mind, you wouldn't stay,
But you get stronger there, every day,
You know I feel so alone,
I think I'll wave myself goodbye.

I think I'll wave myself goodbye,
I just go on playing a loosing game,
I just go on playing a loosing game,
Some day, some day, ooooh.

It takes a fool, to learn to see,
If you can make out, the wood from the trees,
I must be blind, as I could be,
And now I feel so blue,
I think I'll wave myself goodbye.

Hands up reach for the sky
And I will tell you why
This is just a game I'm playin
You won't feel the same I'm betting now
Get up you know this time
That you made up your mind
Think of all the dreams you're chasin
Think of all the time you're wastin now
My world is upside down
My inside is inside out
I'm hangin to a leaf that's shakin
That’s hangin to a branch that's breakin off now
Go out into the night
Left to the sky
You’ll walk out the shoes you're wearin
Might even lose your blues, no tellin now



City streets and rolling cars,
The only sound you can hear.
But you know you might be wrong,
Just look right over here.
Back up against the wall,
Hands on the bottle.
You're gonna walk on by,
Then he cries you gotta, gotta, gotta,
gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta.

Take that sinner boy home,
Wrap him up, keep him warm,
He won't do no harm.

Take him home right away,
He's got no place to stay,
Let him walk right inside your home.

Go on and ask him his name,
Let him try and explain,
What in the world done him wrong.

Tell the man, lift him up,
Take away the paper cup.
One more inside him won't do him no good.
Sinner boy,

You've done me wrong,
For the last time,
You've sung your song,
Now I'm going to sing mine,
Out loud, so loud,
Like the roaring sea.

You've played around,
For the last time,
You've shown your claws,
Now I'm going to show mine,
Watch out, I'll be about,
In the night.

You ran around,
Since the very first day,
You've had your moment,
Now I'm gonna have my play,
So long, I'll be gone,
In the night.

You put me down,
For the very last time,
I hit the floor,
But I got up on the count of nine,
Goodbye, don't cry,
When I'm gone.

When the days begin to climb on me
And I begin to feel that I can't please
There's only one thing I can do
Call on the one who pulls me through, that is you, yeah, you

When I'm lost in some old lonely town
And there ain't no sign of you around
A voice comes whispering through my ear
And I can almost feel you here so near, so near

When the nights begin to drag me down
And there ain't nobody else around
There's only one place I must be
Close to you, you close to me, to me, to me

When the days begin to climb on me
And I begin to feel that I can't please
There's only one thing I can do
Call on the one who pulls me through, that is you, that is you



I'm not surprised, you didn't take the time to write me.
I'm not surprised, you didn't take the time to call.

But baby, you know it really shook me.
When baby, I heard you're not coming back at all.

I'm not surprised, you didn't stop to think about me.
I'm not surprised, you let me vanish from your brain.

But baby, you know it over took me.
When my freind said, you're gonna leave me here behind.

Whoa..hoa...

Why must it be? Why must it be?
Why must it be? Why must it be?

I'm not surprised, you started out without me.
I'm not surprised, you even stopped to care.

But baby, if you must desert me.
When you go, don't talk about me when I'm not there.

Can't believe it's true,
I can't believe it's true,
Baby, where are you?
Baby, where are you?

In the night I'm walking in my sleep,
A lonely man who just can't get no peace.
Oh, how I wish I just could see your face,
Then I wouldn't walk the floor pace by pace.

Clock on the wall,
Why do you bother to chime at all?
Clock on the wall,
Why does this have to happen at all?

And in the day I'm walking on the street,
Hear the sound, steps walking after me.
That's just trouble following me about,
That is one thing I can do without.

Clock on the wall,
Why do you bother to chime at all?
Spot on the wall,
Did I really see it moving at all?

I can't believe it's true,
I can't believe it's true,
I wonder, where are you?
I wonder, where are you?

And in the night I'm talking in my sleep,
The things I say, I just , just can't repeat.
Don't need no fingerprints to know,
You've got your hands on my very soul.

Clock on the wall,
Why do you bother to chime at all?
Clock on the wall,
Why does this have to happen at all?

the gypsy woman told me
you were your mother's bad luck child
the gypsy woman told me
you were your mother's bad luck child
you're having a good time now
you'll be having trouble after a while

Went to see the gypsy woman
to have my fortune told
she said run right home right away
and look through your keyhole
the gypsy woman told me
you were your mother's bad luck child
you're having a good time now
you'll be having bad times after a while
I believed everything the gypsy woman told me
every single word she said
i ran right home right away
and looked through my keyhole
another man in my bed
the gypsy woman told me
you were your mother's bad luck child
you're having a good time now
you'll be having bad times after a while



Well, my babe I had you on my mind,
Well, by little I watched my love slow down.

Yeah, yeah,
Do you know what it means to be alone?

Today you're laughing pretty baby,
Tomorrow you could be cryin'.

Well you live for the day you're gonna know,
You got Little Charlie,
Now come on and try to make it home.
Whoa-ohh.

Do you know what it means to be alone?

Today you're laughing woman,
Tomorrow you could be cryin'.
Yeah.

Well they tell me every dog has his day,
Tell me why all the good dogs can't ever run away.
Yeah, yeah,
Do you know what it means to be alone?

I don't wanna go
Something tells me no, no, no, no
But traces in the sand
The lines that set my hand
Say go, go, go

Beware of a place
A smile of a bright shining face

I'll never return, how do you know?
Tarot woman
I don't know
I don't know

She can take you there
The entrance to the fair
Mine, mine, mine

Ride the carousel
And cast a magic spell
You can fly, fly

Something in the air
Tells me to beware, no, no, no
Her love is like a knife
She'll carve away your life
So go, go, go



In the light of the day
You can hear the old ones say
Was the sound last night the wind?
Can you feel the change begin?

By the fall of the snow
A single soul will go
The footsteps on the white
There's an unholy light

There's a hole in the sky
Something evil's passing by
What's to come - when the siren calls you go
To run with the wolf

When the world makes a turn
The eyes of one will learn
That a sound just like the wind
Only makes the change begin

By the end of the rain
The feelings passed again
From things that snap and bite
An unholy light

There's a break in the ground
Like the swirling water's angry as they pull you down

Like a beast in a field
He knows his fate is sealed
He runs with the wolf, oh oooh

See the break, you know it's the same(?)
Now he goes
To run, run, run
Run, run, run, run



If I'm high on a hill
She'd still been looking down at me
What does she see that brings her closer every day to my heart
If I'm away from home
And think I'm all alone
She's there, somewhere
I look around to see
And looking back at me
She's there, beware!

Creeping like a hungry cat
Seen it before
I know it can mean that

The lady starstruck, she's nothing but bad luck
The lady starstruck, running after me
The lady starstruck, she's nothing but bad luck, yeah

I could fly to the moon
But she'd soon find a way to be there
I never knew for a while that a smile made 'em really care

She wants a souvenir
To everyone it's clear
She's hooked - with one look
She wants a photograph
And everybody laughs but not me 'cause I see

It used to be a game
Now I can't repeat my name at all
She seems to believe that
I never can refuse a call

She wants a souvenir
To everyone it's clear
She's hooked! With one look!
She wants a photograph
And everybody laughs, hah!
But not me 'cause I see

The lady starstruck running after me
The lady starstruck, she's nothing but bad luck
Bad luck, bad luck, bad luck
And back of a tree, looking back at me
Climbing up my stair
I've just got to beware
Lady starstruck, yes, she's bad luck, bad luck



Oh na na na na
Mystery to me is something I can't see
But I see you very well
You're slinky, cool, nobody's fool
But there's something inside I can tell

I know a poor man, a rich man
I know I can talk to a king
But nobody here is gonna tell me
I can't find out one thing

I see a glow around you
Open your arms 'cause I'm walking to you, coming straight or through
Maybe I'm wrong but I know it won't take long to see
Do you close your eyes
Do you close your eyes
Do you close your eyes when you making love, yeah, yeah
Making sweet love to me, yeah

The logical trend has said I'll know in the end
The things that make you smile
So right from the start, I take an aim at your heart
and know that all the while



High noon, oh I'd sell my soul for water
Nine years worth of breakin' my back
There's no sun in the shadow of the wizard
See how he glides, why he's lighter than air?
Oh I see his face!

Where is your star?
Is it far, is it far, is it far?
When do we leave?
I believe, yes, I believe

In the heat and the rain
With whips and chains
To see him fly
So many die
We build a tower of stone
With our flesh and bone
Just to see him fly
But don't know why
Now where do we go?

Hot wind, moving fast across the desert
We feel that our time has arrived
The world spins, while we put his dream together
A tower of stone to take him straight to the sky
Oh I see his face!

All eyes see the figure of the wizard
As he climbs to the top of the world
No sound, as he falls instead of rising
Time standing still, then there's blood on the sand
Oh I see his face!

But why
In all the rain
With all the chains
Did so many die
Just to see him fly

Look at my flesh and bone
Now, look, look, look, look,
Look at his tower of stone
I see a rainbow rising
Look there, on the horizon
And I'm coming home, I'm coming home, I'm coming home

Time is standing still
He gave back my will
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Going home
I'm going home

My eyes are bleeding
And my heart is leaving here
But it's not home
But it's not home
Ooh

Take me back
He gave me back my will
Ooh ooh ooh ooh

Going home
I'm going home

My eyes are bleeding
And my heart is leaving here
But it's not home
But it's not home
Ooh

Take me back, take me back
Back to my home ooh, ooh, ooh



Can't forget his face
What a lonely place
Has he really let us go
All the time that's lost
What's the final cost
Will I really get away
All my life it seems
Just a crazy dream
Reaching for somebody's star
Can't be believed it all
Did he really fall
What to do now I don't know

Something's calling me back
There's a light in the black
Am I ready to go
I'm coming home

Breathed the air before
Heard the thunder roar
Never knew it was for me
Always looking down
Lost and never found
Eyes that looked but not to see
All my life it seems
Just a crazy dream
Reaching for somebody's star
Like an open door
That you've passed before
But you've never had the key

I'm going home, home, home
I'm going home, home, home
I'm coming back
Won't forget his face
What a lonely place
Did he really let us go
All the time that's lost
What's the final cost
Will I really get away
All my life it seems
Just a crazy dream
Reaching for somebody's star
Can't believe it all
Did he really fall
What to do now well I know

I'm on my way back home
I'm here to stay
Here I will stay
I'll stay, I'll stay

Piece Of Mind...

Σαν σήμερα το 1983 οι γίγαντες των γιγάντων Iron Maiden κυκλοφόρησαν το Piece Of Mind

Μια δισκάρα απίστευτης ενέργειας, έμπνευσης κι ατμόσφαιρας...

Ο Dickinson στα καλύτερά του, ο Harris να δίνει ρεσιτάλ στο μπάσο, το κιθαριστικό δίδυμο φωτιά των '80s Murray/Smith να σε μαγεύουν με τα riff/solos/bridges κι ο νεοφερμένος McBrain στα τύμπανα να παραδίδει μαθήματα...

Πραγματικά όμως υπάρχει πολύ έμπνευση σε αυτόν τον δίσκο...Τα περισσότερα τραγούδια βασίστηκαν σε βιβλία και ταινίες. Το Where Eagles Dare απο την ομώνυμη ταινία του Hutton, το Still Life απο το έργο τρόμου και φαντασίας Genius Loci του Clark Ashton Smith, το Trooper απο το ποίημα Charge of the Light Brigade του Tennyson -ο οποίος μιλάει για τα γεγονότα στην περιοχή και την νίκη των Ρώσων- το Quest For Fire απο την ομώνυμη ταινία του Annaud, το Sun And Steel απο τον συγγραφέα Mishima που αναφέρεται στην ζωή του σαμουράι Musashi, το Flight Of Icarus που ασφαλώς αναφέρεται στον μύθο του Ίκαρου, και το Tame A Land απο το βιβλίο Dune του Herbert...

Το επικό track list είναι το εξής:

1. Where Eagles Dares
2. Revelations
3. Flight Of Icarus
4. Die with Your Boots On
5. The Trooper
6. Still Life
7. Quest For Fire
8. Sun and Steel
9. To Tame a Land

Δυστυχώς δεν μπορώ να ξεχωρίσω πιο απ'όλα τα τραγούδια είναι το πλέον αγαπημένο...

Για του μη-μυημένους προτείνω τα Flight Of Icarus και Still Life...

Οι υπόλοιποι...

n'joy

ΥΓ Για χρόνια ολόκληρα, στο βίντεο του Trooper κάπου εκεί στο 2:37 με 2:39, βλέπεις τον σημαιοφόρο να πέφτει με το άλογό του, και λίγο πριν ξεψυχήσει τεντώνει το χέρι που κρατάει την σημαία, κι ένας άλλος έφιππος περνώντας απο κει, αρπάζει την σημαία και συνεχίζει την έφοδο...............................................................................................................................
Αυτά τα 2 δευτερόλεπτα ΠΑΝΤΑ με κάνανε να ανατριχιάζω και να δακρύζω (!!!!), που απο τότε σκέφτομαι να κάνω αυτή την σκηνή tattoo στην πλάτη... Δεν ξέρω αν τελικά το κάνω...αλλά ρε γαμώτο ΚΑΘΕ φορά που το βλέπω...ΚΑΘΕ φορά το ίδιο αποτέλεσμα... Τρίχα κάγκελο και δάκρυ στο μάτι... Απλά κωλώνω στην σημαία, Άγγλος δεν είμαι για να κάνω την Αγγλική, Ελληνάρας δεν είμαι για να κάνω την Ελληνική... οπότε έχω ένα μικρό δίλημμα. Δεχόμαστε προτάσεις....




It's snowing outside the rumbling sound
of engines roar in the night.
The mission is near the confident men
are waiting to drop from the sky.

The Blizzard goes on but still they must fly
No one should go where eagles dare.

Bavarian alps that lay all around
they seem to stare from below.
The enemy lines a long time passed
are lying deep in the snow.

Into the night they fall through the sky
No one should fly where eagles dare.

They're closing in the fortress is near
it's standing high in the sky.
The cable car's the only way in
it's really impossible to climb.

They make their way but maybe too late
They've got to try to save the day.

The panicking cries the roaring of guns
are echoing all around the valley.
The mission complete they make to escape
away from the Eagles Nest.

They dared to go where no one would try
they chose to fly where eagles dare.



"O God of Earth and Altar,
Bow down and hear our cry,
Our earthly rulers falter,
Our people drift and die,
The walls of gold entomb us,
The swords of scorn divide,
Take not thy thunder from us,
But take away our pride."
(G. K. Chesterton; English Hymnal)

Just a babe in the black abyss,
No reason for a place like this,
The walls are cold and souls cry out in pain,
An easy way for the blind to go,
A clever path for the fools who know
the Secret of the Hangman - the smile on his lips.
The light of the Blind - you'll see,
The venom tears my spine,
The Eyes of the Nile are opening - you'll see.

She came to me with a serpent's kiss,
As the Eye of the Sun rose on her lips,
Moonlight catches - silver tears I cry,
So we lay in a black embrace,
And the Seed is sown in a holy place,
And I watched, and I waited for the dawn.

The light of the Blind - you'll see,
The venom tears my spine,
The Eyes of the Nile are opening - you'll see.

Go!

Bind all of us together,
Ablaze with Hope and Free,
No storm or heavy weather
Will rock the boat you'll see.
The time has come to close your eyes
And still the wind and rain,
For the one who will be King
The Watcher in the Ring,
It is You.

It is you...



As the Sun breaks above the ground
An old man stands on the hill
As the ground warms to the first rays of light
A birdsong shatters the still

His eyes are ablaze
See the madman in his gaze

Fly, on your way, like an eagle
Fly as high as the Sun
On your way, like an eagle
Fly, touch the Sun

Now the crowd breaks and a young boy appears
Looks the old man in the eye
As he spreads his wings and shouts at the crowd
In the name of God my father I'll fly

His eyes seem so glazed
As he flies on the wings of a dream
Now he knows his father betrayed
Now his wings turn to ashes to ashes his grave



Yeah! Another Prophet of Disaster
Who says the ship is lost,
Another Prophet of Disaster
Leaving you to count the cost.
Taunting us with Visions,
Afflicting us with fear,
Predicting war for millions,
In the hope that one appears.

No point asking when it is,
No point asking who's to go,
No point asking what's the game,
No point asking who's to blame.
'Cause if you're gonna die (If you're gonna die) If you're gonna die,
(If you're gonna die) If you're gonna die (If you're gonna die) If you're gonna die...


If you're gonna die, die with your boots on.
If you're gonna try, well stick around,
Gonna cry, just move along,
If you're gonna die, you're gonna die,
Gonna die! Die with your boots on,
If you're gonna try, well stick around,
Gonna cry, just move along,
If you're gonna die, you're gonna die!

13, the Beast is rising,
The Frenchman did surmise,
Through earthquakes and starvation,
The warlord will arise.
Terror, death, destruction,
Pour from the Eastern Sands,
But the truth of all predictions,
Is always in your hands.

They died with their boots on, yes they died...
They died! They die with their boots on, they die...
We die! We die! We die! We die! We die!



You take my life but I'll take yours too
You fire your musket but I run you through
So when you're waiting for the next attack
You'd better stand there's no turning back.

The bugle sounds - the charge begins
But on this battlefield no one wins
The smell of acrid smoke and horses breath
As I plunge on into certain death.

O-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-ohhh!
O-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-ohhh!

The horse he sweats with fear - we break to run
The mighty roar of the Russian guns
And as we race towards the human wall
The screams of pain as my comrades fall.

We hurdle bodies that lay on the ground
And the Russians fire another round
We get so near yet so far away
We won't live to fight another day.

We get so close near enough to fight
When a Russian gets me in his sights
He pulls the trigger and I feel the blow
A burst of rounds take my horse below.

And as I lay there gazing at the sky
My body's numb and my throat is dry
And as I lay forgotten and alone
Without a tear I draw my parting groan.



Take a look in the pool and what do you see
In the dark depths, their faces beckoning me
Can't you see them it's plain for all to see
They were there, oh I know you don't believe me.

Oh...I've never felt so strange
But...I'm not going insane.

I've no doubt that you think I'm off of my head
You don't say, but it's in your eyes instead
Hours I spend out just gazing into that pool
Something draws me there, I don't know what to do.

Oh...they drain my strength away
Oh...they're asking me to stay.

Nightmares...spirits calling me
Nightmares...they won't leave me be.

All my life's blood is slowly draining away
And I feel that I'm weaker every day
Somehow I know I haven't long to go
Joining them at the bottom of the pool.

Now I feel they are so near
I begin to see them clear.

Nightmares...coming all the time
Nightmares...Will give me peace of mind.

Now it's clear and I know what I have to do
I must take you down there to look at them too
Hand in hand then we'll jump right into the pool
Can't you see not just me they want you too.

Oh...we'll drown together
It...will be forever.

Nightmares...forever calling me
Nightmares...Now we rest in peace.



In a time when dinosaurs walked the earth
When the land was swamp and caves were home
In an age when prize possession was fire
To search for landscapes men would roam.

Then the tribes, they came to steal their fire
And the wolves, they howled into the night
As they fought a vicious angry battle
to save the power of warmth and light.

Drawn by quest for fire
They searched all through the land
Drawn by quest for fire
Discovery of man.

And they thought that when the embers died away
That the flame of life had burnt and died
Didn't know the sparks that made the fire
Were made by rubbing stick and stone.

So they ploughed through forest and swamps of danger
And they fought the cannibal tribes and beasts
In the search to find another fire
To regain the power of light and heat.

Drawn by quest for fire
They searched across the land
Drawn by quest for fire
Discovery of man.



Well, you killed your first man at 13,
Killer instinct, animal supreme,
By 16, you had learned to fight
The way of the warrior, you took it as your right.

Sunlight, falling on your steel,
Death in life is your ideal,
Life is like a wheel.

Through earth and water, fire and wind,
you came at last - nothing was the end,
Make a cut by fire and stones,
Take you and your blade and break you both in two - break you both in two.

Sunlight, falling on your steel,
Death in life is your ideal,
Life is like a wheel - rolling on and on!

Sunlight falling on your steel,
Death and life your ideal,
Life is like a wheel - and it's rolling still...



He is the king of all the land
In the Kingdom of the sands
Of a time tomorrow.

He rules the sandworms and the Fremen
In a land amongst the stars
Of an age tomorrow.

He is destined to be a King
He rules over everything
On the land called planet Dune.

Bodywater is your life
And without it you would die
On the desert the planet Dune.

Without a stillsuit you would fry
On the sands so hot and dry
In a world called Arrakis.

It is a land that's rich in spice
The sandriders and the "mice"
That they call the "Muad'Dib".

He is the Kwizatz Haderach.
He is born of Caladan
And will take the Gom Jabbar.

He has the power to foresee
Or to look into the past
He is the ruler of the stars

The time will come for him
to lay claim his crown,
And then the foe yes
they'll be cut down,
You'll see he'll be the
best that there's been,
Messiah supreme
true leader of men,
And when the time
for judgement's at hand
Don't fret he's strong
and he'll make a stand,
Against evil and fire
That spreads through the land,
He has the power
to make it all end.
