CATHEDRAL SPIRES
"Jugulator" es un disco particular dentro de la discografía de Judas Priest, y es particular por lo que significa ser el primero de los dos únicos discos de la banda sin el icónico vocalista Rob Halford a los mandos. Otro hecho a tener en cuenta es que este disco, que supone el décimo curto en la historia de la banda era el sucesor del simplemente histórico "Painkiller", prácticamente insuperable. Siempre han existido ciertos paralelísmos entre Iron Maiden Y Judas Priest, por la grandeza de las bandas, su aplastante influjo sobre toda la escena metálica, y en esto de la ida del vocalista icónico de la banda durante una temporada también se puede encontrar un punto de unión. Desde luego siempre he pensado que la sustitución del cantante en Judas fue mucho más acertada que en Maiden, habiendo por ejemplo en este "Jugulator" de 1997 unas cuantas canciones cantadas por Tim "Ripper" Owens que me agradan mucho. Hoy quiero dejar en el blog otra de ellas, en concreto la magnífica "Cathedral Spires", un medio tiempo potente del que dejo un enlace a youtube.
They have blown away the daylight hours we had
Left a leagcy, a deadly aftermath
We cannot exist in godforsaken lands
As we spiral down into oblivion
Breathing the fumes of fires that they ignite
Losing ground and we are all just losing sight
We shall never see another setting sun
Time to rise up and ascend, the end has come
No more willpower
Choked by hell fire
Darkness above
Blackening out the sun
Gripped by steel claws
Corrosion eating us
So before we're all devoured
Time to rise up and retire
In cathedral spires
Watching as the world expires
From up amongst the clouds
In cathedral spires
No names
No graves
No prayers
Can save us
Ashes to dust
Doomsday's upon us now
It cannot be stopped
Genocide all is lost
Oh! We're so tired
Time to rise up and conspire
In cathedral spires
Watching as our world expires
From up above the clouds
In cathedral spires
Jaws of corruption
Swallow us as one
Consuming every nation
Evoke resistance getting none
Complete disintegration
No good to defend
There can be but one outcome
We are no more - ascend
Vaporized fury
Offers no sanctuary
Oh! We're so tired
Time to rise up and retire
Watching as the world expires
From up above the clouds
In cathedral
In cathedral spires
Oh! We're so tired
Watching the world expire
Time that we retire
Up in cathedral spires
Left a leagcy, a deadly aftermath
We cannot exist in godforsaken lands
As we spiral down into oblivion
Breathing the fumes of fires that they ignite
Losing ground and we are all just losing sight
We shall never see another setting sun
Time to rise up and ascend, the end has come
No more willpower
Choked by hell fire
Darkness above
Blackening out the sun
Gripped by steel claws
Corrosion eating us
So before we're all devoured
Time to rise up and retire
In cathedral spires
Watching as the world expires
From up amongst the clouds
In cathedral spires
No names
No graves
No prayers
Can save us
Ashes to dust
Doomsday's upon us now
It cannot be stopped
Genocide all is lost
Oh! We're so tired
Time to rise up and conspire
In cathedral spires
Watching as our world expires
From up above the clouds
In cathedral spires
Jaws of corruption
Swallow us as one
Consuming every nation
Evoke resistance getting none
Complete disintegration
No good to defend
There can be but one outcome
We are no more - ascend
Vaporized fury
Offers no sanctuary
Oh! We're so tired
Time to rise up and retire
Watching as the world expires
From up above the clouds
In cathedral
In cathedral spires
Oh! We're so tired
Watching the world expire
Time that we retire
Up in cathedral spires
