A WANDERER'S LAMENT
Conorach es una banda holandesa de power metal mezclado con melodías tradicionales folclóricas europeas y con un toque progresivo. Sus letras nos narran eventos históricos y batallas mezclados con cuentos fantásticos y héroes. La banda se formó en el año 2000 y durante un periodo de más de 5 años funcionaron en la escena underground holandesa, y ya en 2006 editan su demo "A new day rising" que hizo que se incrementara el interés por su música y el número de actuaciones en vivo. En 2008 graban su primer LP "Tales form the tavern", que mostraba al público su concepto musical. En 2010 editan un EP, “42 Days/Patriot Song”, que colgaron para descarga gratuita en su Web. Su discografía se completa con el buen "Through the ages", segundo LP del grupo editado en 2014 y que hasta la fecha de esta reseña es su última obra publicada, donde se puede apreciar como van puliendo su estilo siendo un disco promesa de algo grande en el futuro, veremos su evolución. La banda ya ha tocado en eventos de cierta importancia y con bandas como Rage, Freedom Call, Lord Volture, Roadkill, Heidevolk o Eluveitie. Hoy quiero dejar en el blog una canción de su último disco, "Through the ages", de 2014 como decía más arriba, concretamente su tema "A wanderer's Lament", del que dejo un enlace a youtube.
Good day innkeeper, pour me a drink,
I’m thirsty and I’d like to rest.
Got weary of travelling, sick of the road,
I long for a place to call home.
I have been so many a place,
And I’ve seen many things.
But nothing can bring a jump to my heart,
Numb as I am today.
Master innkeeper, kindhearted sir,
You know not the burden I bear.
It’s chased me ‘cross mountains, it’s chased me through dales,
But I cannot run from it still.
I can remember that bloody black day,
As if it were minutes ago.
Sunlit it was, yet night it still felt,
A shroud that I cannot shed
Chorus:
The shell of a man, in a prison-like state
Far beyond asking where and why
To live with a burden unable to share
Is reason enough to die
Can you, my friend, comprehend,
The malice that I have wrought?
The dear only knows my intentions were good,
Still my hands stained with blood.
Well my eyes were so full of greed and of lust,
I couldn’t see what was done.
Now will you, Innkeeper, feed the one soul,
That could not a many have fed?
Chorus
What has been done cannot be undone,
It leaves a scar as you go.
What has been seen cannot be unseen,
Another thing that you know.
When I close my eyes I see them grieve,
Thousands and thousands of them.
I’ve fallen from grace, from riches to rags,
Yet pity I do not deserve.
Well innkeeper, sir, would you ever forgive,
if it were up to you?
And could you please give me a meal,
And a bed to rest my head?
Chorus
