Canciones para una vida - Rhapsody Of Fire - The Courage To Forgive

THE  COURAGE TO FORGIVE

Ya sin ninguna duda, y desde luego a título personal, si hay algo que tenga que ver con los "Rhapsody" originales, aquellos que en el 97 provocaron esa revolución en su sonido, tan imitado posteriormente, tan novedoso en ese momento, tenemos que buscarlo en "Rhapsody Of Fire", banda en la que como todos sabemos, tan solo permanece de la idea original el teclista Alex Staropolli, quien, realmente ha tenido una orientación en este disco "The Eight Mountain" más hacia los inicios de Rhapsody, lo cual en mi opinión es un acierto. Mención aparte creo que tiene el "Lione-Turilli Rhapsody", obra que me ha parecido completamente anónima, absolutamente gris, al menos hasta este momento, aunque reconozco que le debo alguna escucha más. Al final, como en tantas otras ocasiones he dicho con otras bandas, si una persona conocedora de Rhapsody, se acerca al material nuevo de la banda es porque le gusta lo que "Rhapsody" como marca significa, si eso no responde a la espectativa creada no es de extrañar que el simpatizante del sonido termine por desligarse de la banda, y si el grupo se ha cansado de sonar igual, debería seguramente terminar ese proyecto y empezar otro antes de traicionar las raíces. En fin, dejo otra de las canciones de lo nuevo de "Rhapsody Of fire", como digo en la línea de lo esperable, concretamente "The courage to forgive" de la que dejo un enlace a youtube.

(Ten... Years... by... since... gone... I... hate... what...)
(Did... To my life... To my soul... Father why... You father)
Ten years gone by since you've gone and I still hate what you did
to my life to my soul, father why ? Why ....
Ten years you wasted to shape your own son, to grow the perfect warrior
Ten stones on my back are crushing my bones, they're bending my spine
I'll get over it : I'll destroy my hate
Hard is the path when the memory makes you grieve
Painful, the memories are painful like a wound
Leave the past behind, find the courage to forgive
Painful, the memories are painful.
It's your duty, the contract says : " You have to forgive"
(Shades... Dark... War... Shield... Sword... Years... Age... Child...)
(Friends... And my hands... made to play... Father why... You father)
Shadows of the war, a shield, a sword : despite my young age they were my close friends
Despite my hands were made to play, I learned how to kill... but why ?
Life is a labyrinth of chances and leaps of faith, an endless dreaming
Maybe I wouldn't become brave like you, as strong as you were
I'll try to forget : I'll destroy my hate
Hard is the path when the memory makes you grieve
Painful, the memories are painful like a wound
Leave the past behind, find the courage to forgive
Painful, the memories are painful.
It's your duty, the contract says : " You have to forgive"
All the stars can't ignite the dark
I will burn my anger just to see the light, to rise again
Hard is the path when the memory makes you grieve
Painful, the memories are painful like a wound
Leave the past behind, find the courage to forgive
Painful, the memories are painful.
It's your duty, the contract says : " You have to forgive"
