BLOOD RED SKIES
Como ya hemos dicho en la anterior entrada de Judas Priest, se formaron en
Inglaterra en 1969, bajo el nombre Freight por dos de sus miembros, K.K.
Downing e Ian Hill, que eran compañeros de escuela. En 1970 dan un paso
adelante e incorporan a Al Atkins en funciones de vocalista cambiando su
nombre al de Judas Priest. Asi van funcionando sacando demos hasta
1973. En 1974 hay un cambio decisivo pues el vocalista pasa a ser Rob
Halford, uno de los sellos representativos de esta superbanda. Desde ese
momento 17 obras de estudio hablan de una de las bandas más grandes que
ha dado nuestra música. Ante la extensa carrera musical que han desarrollado, y ante la calidad de la misma, es una de esas bandas a la que aludiremos en varias ocasiones. Esta vez me quiero referir a su obra "Ram It down", su undécima obra de estudio, de 1988. Quiero dejar un enlace de su tema "Blood Red Skies", una canción que desde la primera vez que la escuché siempre me ha llamado la atención, y es que con sus casi 8 minutos tiene tiempo para meterte en ella y engancharte, siendo una de las que más me gustan de este disco, que por otra parte tiene un gran nivel en general, como no podía ser de otra manera viniendo de los Judas. Dejo un enlace a Youtube de la canción.
As the sun goes down, I move around
Keeping to the shadows
Life, hangs by a thread
And I've heard it said, that I'll not see tomorrow
If that's my destiny, it'll have to be
So I'll face the future
Running out of time
I'm on the line
But I'll go down fighting
Felt the hand of justice
Telling wrong from right
Threw me out upon the street in the middle of the night
Cybernetic heartbeat
Digital precise
Pneumatic fingers nearly had me in their vice
Not begging you
I'm telling you
You won't break me
You won't make me
You won't take me
Under blood red skies
You won't break me
You won't take me
I'll fight you under
blood red skies
Through a shattered city, watched by laser eyes
Overhead the night squad glides
The decaying paradise
Automatic sniper
With computer sights
Scans the bleak horizon for its victim of the night
Not begging you
I'm telling you
You won't break me
You won't make me
You won't take me
Under blood red skies
You won't break me
You won't take me
I'll fight you under
blood red skies
As the end is drawing near
Standing proud, I won't give in to fear
As I die a legend will be born
I will stand, I will fight
You'll never take me alive
I'll stand my ground
I won't go down
You won't break me
You won't make me
You won't take me
Under blood red skies
You won't break me
You won't take me
I'll fight you under
blood red skies
You'll never take me alive
I'm telling you
Hands of justice
I will stand, I will fight
As the sun goes down
I won't give in to fear
Keeping to the shadows
Life, hangs by a thread
And I've heard it said, that I'll not see tomorrow
If that's my destiny, it'll have to be
So I'll face the future
Running out of time
I'm on the line
But I'll go down fighting
Felt the hand of justice
Telling wrong from right
Threw me out upon the street in the middle of the night
Cybernetic heartbeat
Digital precise
Pneumatic fingers nearly had me in their vice
Not begging you
I'm telling you
You won't break me
You won't make me
You won't take me
Under blood red skies
You won't break me
You won't take me
I'll fight you under
blood red skies
Through a shattered city, watched by laser eyes
Overhead the night squad glides
The decaying paradise
Automatic sniper
With computer sights
Scans the bleak horizon for its victim of the night
Not begging you
I'm telling you
You won't break me
You won't make me
You won't take me
Under blood red skies
You won't break me
You won't take me
I'll fight you under
blood red skies
As the end is drawing near
Standing proud, I won't give in to fear
As I die a legend will be born
I will stand, I will fight
You'll never take me alive
I'll stand my ground
I won't go down
You won't break me
You won't make me
You won't take me
Under blood red skies
You won't break me
You won't take me
I'll fight you under
blood red skies
You'll never take me alive
I'm telling you
Hands of justice
I will stand, I will fight
As the sun goes down
I won't give in to fear
