Canciones para una vida - Manowar - The Power Of Thy Sword

THE POWER OF THY SWORD

Superdiscazo de los americanos, tras sus aclamados Fighting the world y Kings of metal, se sacaron de la chistera este disco, bastante conceptual, que les afianzó más si cabe en la cima del autodenominado True Metal. Este The Triumph of Steel, de 1992, es una obra contundente y compacta en la que Manowar da rienda suelta a su estilo, con una marcada linea argumental, sobre todo en su primera canción, una historia de 28 minutos, si no me falla la memoria, dividida en 8 partes, todo un reto, pues hay que reconocer que hay que ser valiente para realizar algo así, sin embargo, lejos de hacerse eterno, al tener partes muy marcadas resulta facil de escuchar. El resto de canciones del album son más estandar, y de gran calidad. Quiero dejar en el blog una de mis favoritas, aunque debo reconocer que todas las canciones de este disco me gustan mucho. Me refiero a la canción The Power of thy sword, con su épico comienzo del sonido de una espada afilandose... toda una declaración de intenciones.... una gran canción de la que dejo un enlace a Youtube.


Lord of battle I pray on bended knee conquest by the rising sun
I'll wait for thy command with flame and blood at hand
glory and a broken sword.

I'm the master of the world I have no fear of man or beast
Born inside the soul of the world
Riding hard breaking bone with steel and stone
Eternal might I was born to wield.

Let us drink to the battles we've lived and we've fought
Celebrate the pain and havoc we have wrought
Great heroes charge into the fight
From the north to the south in the black of night

The clash of honor calls to stand when others fall
Gods of war feel the power of my sword

Drink to the battles we've lived and we've fought
Celebrate the pain and havoc we have wrought
Great heroes charge into the fight
From the north to the south in the black of night

Fierce is my blade fierce is my hate born to die in battle
I laugh at my fate
Now pay in blood when your blood has been spilled
You're never forgiven death is fulfilled !

The clash of honor calls to stand when others fall
Gods of war feel the power of my sword

The clash of honor calls
I will stand when others fall
Open magic doors
The will know the power of my sword

There is blood in my hands there is blood in my eyes
With blood in my voice I scream as you die
Thirsting for vengeance and mounds of the slain
Shaking the forest onto the plain

Fierce is my blade fierce is my hate born to die in battle
I laugh at my fate
Now pay in blood when your blood has been spilled
You're never forgiven death is fulfilled !

The clash of honor calls to stand when others fall
Gods of war feel the power of my sword
