Canciones para una vida - Elvenking - Rapture

 

RAPTURE

 Con la eterna sensación que tengo con esta banda, ambivalente, por una parte de cierto aburrimiento basado sobre todo en la parte más reciente de su carrera, monotonía, que me hace casi imposible la escucha de uno de sus últimos disco seguido, y por otra el descubrimiento de alguna canción concreta que me devuelve la ilusión con la que los descubrí en su debut, allá por 2001, pero claro, es que con "Heathenreel" estamos ante palabras mayores, sobre todo para un debut, y ese punto de atracción me duró buena parte de su carrera inicial, sobre todo en sus tres LP's iniciales, luego eso, altibajos, ultimamente más bajos. Pero el caso es que sigo acudiendo a la cita con sus obras nuevas, con esa esperanza que suele diluirse, y este nuevo disco a partes iguales me da esa sensación de esperanza y resignación, veremos. El primer adelanto del nuevo disco, "Reader of the runes - Rapture", que verá la luz de forma oficial en abril de 2023, el undécimo de la discografía de la banda, el segundo de la trilogía que van crear en formato temático, se titula "Rapture" y de él dejo hoy un enlace a youtube.

Maleficium
Bleak visions
I have cast upon your souls
For a glimpse of your tomorrows all your final bells will toll
Auspicium
Divinations
By fire your fate I have foretold
By blood and dissection your misfortunes will unfold

The deeds of yesterday
Fire and death to you all
I sentence you for eternity
To rot as my enemies

(In rapture you're falling)
In rapture you are falling
You’re downfalling
(In rapture you're fading)
Fade away in the mist you’re wading
You are fading
In rapture you are dying
Desecrated on these lands
The fading lands
Oh you’re all dying by my hand

Sortilegium
Equilibrium
In the balance between life and death
I am governing the acts of gods until their final breath

The sins of yesterday
Lunacies crafted in blood
I stood strong
Firm to my loyalty
No flows in the plan conceived

(In rapture you're falling)
In rapture you are falling
You’re downfalling
(In rapture you're fading)
Fade away in the mist you’re wading
You are fading
In rapture you are dying
Desecrated on these lands
These snow-white lands
Oh kneel down to my command

In the lair of wolves you took the trail
Where the gloom is dark and the moon is pale
The choices taken
The fate foretold
You blindly followed the runes of old

You forged the hollow trunk of oak
The lair of tragic fates foretold
The runes have spoken and condemned
A red mist thickens on these lands

The deeds of yesterday
Fire and death to you all
I sentence you for eternity
To rot as my enemies

In rapture you're falling

(In rapture you're falling)
In rapture you are falling
You’re downfalling
(In rapture you're fading)
Fade away in the mist you’re wading
You are fading
In rapture you are dying
Desecrated on these lands
The fading lands
Oh you’re all dying by my hand

In the lair of wolves you took the trail
Where the gloom is dark and the moon is pale
The choices taken
The fate foretold
You blindly followed the runes of old
