TEARS OF THE DRAGON
Hoy hablaremos de un artista que no necesita de ninguna presentación, se trata del vocalista británico Bruce Dickinson, archiconocido por su labor en Iron Maiden. Sus comienzos como músico en solitario suceden a comienzos de los 90, cuando se le propone regrabar una versión de la canción Bring your daughter to the slaughter, de los Maiden, para una película de la saga Pesadilla en Elm street. En el año 1990 saca su primer trabajo bajo el nombre de Bruce Dickinson con su Tattoed Millionaire. Tentado por la nueva experiencia decide dejar Iron Maiden en 1993 y saca en 1994 su segunda obra de estudio, este balls to Picasso, que para mi es junto a Accident of Birth, su siguiente obra de estudio, su mejor material. En total editará 6 discos de estudio en solitario hasta 2005. En 1999 se reune nuevamente con los miticos Maiden para trabajar solo puntualmente en su material propio. Entre tanto, del material compuesto para su carrera en solitario me quiero quedar en esta ocasión con el tema Tears of the dragon, como digo de 1994, uno de sus temas más conocidos posiblemente y una gran canción sin duda de la que dejo un enlace a youtube.
For too long now
There were secrets in my mind
For too long now
There were things I should have said
In the darkness, I was stumbling for the door
To find a reason, to find the time, the place, the hour
Waiting for the winter sun, and the cold light of day
The misty ghosts of childhood fears
The pressure is building and I can't stay away
I throw myself into the sea
Release the wave, let it wash over me
To face the fear, I once believed
The tears of the dragon, for you and for me
Where I was
I had wings that couldn't fly
Where I was
I had tears I couldn't cry
My emotions, frozen in an iced lake
I couldn't feel them, until the ice began to break
I have no prayer over this, you know I'm afraid
The walls I built are crumbling
The water is moving, I'm slipping away
I throw myself into the sea
Release the wave, let it wash over me
To face the fear, I once believed
The tears of the dragon, for you and for me
Slowly I awake
Slowly I rise
The walls I built are crumbling
The water is moving, I'm slipping away
I throw myself into the sea
Release the wave, let it wash over me
To face the fear, I once believed
The tears of the dragon, for you and for me
I throw myself into the sea
Release the wave, let it wash over me
To face the fear, I once believed
The tears of the dragon, for you and for me...
There were secrets in my mind
For too long now
There were things I should have said
In the darkness, I was stumbling for the door
To find a reason, to find the time, the place, the hour
Waiting for the winter sun, and the cold light of day
The misty ghosts of childhood fears
The pressure is building and I can't stay away
I throw myself into the sea
Release the wave, let it wash over me
To face the fear, I once believed
The tears of the dragon, for you and for me
Where I was
I had wings that couldn't fly
Where I was
I had tears I couldn't cry
My emotions, frozen in an iced lake
I couldn't feel them, until the ice began to break
I have no prayer over this, you know I'm afraid
The walls I built are crumbling
The water is moving, I'm slipping away
I throw myself into the sea
Release the wave, let it wash over me
To face the fear, I once believed
The tears of the dragon, for you and for me
Slowly I awake
Slowly I rise
The walls I built are crumbling
The water is moving, I'm slipping away
I throw myself into the sea
Release the wave, let it wash over me
To face the fear, I once believed
The tears of the dragon, for you and for me
I throw myself into the sea
Release the wave, let it wash over me
To face the fear, I once believed
The tears of the dragon, for you and for me...
