THE ONE WE SHALL FOLLOW
La verdad es que ya he dicho en varias ocasiones como esta banda fue tornando ese interés que despertó en mí la parte inicial de su carrera, con su gran "Heathenreel", y lo más que interesantes "Wyrd" y "Winterwake", en una cierta desilusión en sus obras posteriores. Siempre he reconocido el mérito del grupo, y aunque al final siempre termino escuchando y disfrutando al menos alguna de sus canciones en todas sus obras, quedan sin embargo y desde luego lejos los tiempos iniciales en que sin demasiados problemas disfrutaba de toda una obra completa de ellos sin sentir esa sensación de repetitividad que me obliga, hoy en día, a cambiar de tercio en su nuevo material. Quiero sin embargo volver hoy a su noveno y hasta la fecha de esta reseña, último trabajo publicado, "Secrets of the magic grimoire", editado el pasado noviembre de 2017, un disco en el que quizá haya visto signos de una posible recuperación, aún demasiado leve para lanzarme a alabar la obra en su conjunto, pero si con buenos destellos y momentos que me dan una mayor esperanza para lo que pueda venir en el futuro por parte de estos italianos. En esta ocasión lo hago para dejar en el blog uno de los temas que más me han gustado de la obra coincidiendo con la edición (un tanto tardía, eso sí) de un clip de dicha canción, que no es otra que "The one we shall follow", y de la que dejo un enlace a youtube del citado clip oficial.
A surge of crows, a foreshadow
A loom of the one who is grand and potent
A burst of unholy fire, harbinger of his arrival
Fiery eyes of a black wolf
Fair and righteous like no other
Far from neglect and defiance, he will lead us
We'll march onward to a far distant shore
Where our bright will grow - We will follow him!
He's right by our side - With him we will ride
The gates open wide - We will honour him!
He's the one we shall follow tonight
Walking endlessly on the path of the dreamer
He will come and we'll follow the signs in a pagan absolution time
He's the one we shall follow away
Furthermost from wrong from their narrow demeanours
He will come and we'll follow the signs in a pagan absolution night
A cloak of lustre his garment
Suited for the prince of darkness
Conjuring magickal pyre - summoning wildfire
He'll wipe out the fools and the improper
The ones who plague our dear earth
With their ignorance and self denial - He will lead us
We'll march onward to a far distant shore
Where our bright will grow - We will follow him!
He's right by our side - With him we will ride
The gates open wide - We will honour him!
He's the one we shall follow tonight
Walking endlessly on the path of the dreamer
He will come and we'll follow the signs in a pagan absolution time
He's the one we shall follow away
Furthermost from wrong from their narrow demeanours
He will come and we'll follow the signs in a pagan absolution night
A loom of the one who is grand and potent
A burst of unholy fire, harbinger of his arrival
Fiery eyes of a black wolf
Fair and righteous like no other
Far from neglect and defiance, he will lead us
We'll march onward to a far distant shore
Where our bright will grow - We will follow him!
He's right by our side - With him we will ride
The gates open wide - We will honour him!
He's the one we shall follow tonight
Walking endlessly on the path of the dreamer
He will come and we'll follow the signs in a pagan absolution time
He's the one we shall follow away
Furthermost from wrong from their narrow demeanours
He will come and we'll follow the signs in a pagan absolution night
A cloak of lustre his garment
Suited for the prince of darkness
Conjuring magickal pyre - summoning wildfire
He'll wipe out the fools and the improper
The ones who plague our dear earth
With their ignorance and self denial - He will lead us
We'll march onward to a far distant shore
Where our bright will grow - We will follow him!
He's right by our side - With him we will ride
The gates open wide - We will honour him!
He's the one we shall follow tonight
Walking endlessly on the path of the dreamer
He will come and we'll follow the signs in a pagan absolution time
He's the one we shall follow away
Furthermost from wrong from their narrow demeanours
He will come and we'll follow the signs in a pagan absolution night
