DON'T PAY THE FERRYMAN
Una gran banda
alemana que se dedica al power metal con un toque oscuro al que quizás
contribuya la peculiar voz de Thorsten Kohlrausch, un poco en la onda
del cantante de Grave Digger, Chris Boltendahl. Dark at dawn comienza su
andadura musical el año 1993, tiempo desde el que han sacado 4 discos
de estudio y 2 EP's. De la formación inicial tan solo quedan el
vocalista Thorsten Kohlrausch y el bajista Michael Lowin, y desde 2006, año en el que sacaron su disco homónimo al nombre del grupo, "Dark at Dawn", no han sacado más discos de estudio salvo el EP Noneternal en 2012. Hoy me quiero referir al que sin duda para mi es el mejor de sus discos en conjunto, al menos el que a mi más me gusta, su primera obra de estudio "Baneful Skies", de 1999, obra altamente recomendable en conjunto, de la que hoy quiero dejar el tema "Don't pay the Ferryman", una canción original del cantante de rock Chris De Burgh que Dark At dawn hizo suya mediante esta versión de la que hoy dejo un enlace a youtube.
It was late at night on the open road
Speeding like a man on the run
A lifetime spent preparing for the journey
He is closer now and the search is on
Reading from a map in the mind
Yes there's the ragged hill
And there's the boat on the river
And when the rain came down
He heard a wild dog howl
There were voices in the night (Don't do it)
Voices out of sight (Don't do it)
Too many men have failed before
Whatever you do
Don't pay the ferryman
Don't even fix a price
Don't pay the ferryman
Until he gets you to the other side
In the rolling mist
Then he gets on board
Now there'll be no turning back
Beware that hooded old man
At the rudder
And then the lightning flashed
And the thunder roared
And people calling out his name
And dancing bones that jabbered
And a moaned on the water
Then the ferryman said
"There is trouble ahead
So you must pay me now" (Don't do it)
"You must pay me now" (Don't do it)
And still that voice came from beyond
Whatever you do
Don't pay the ferryman
Don't even fix a price
Don't pay the ferryman
Until he gets you to the other side
Speeding like a man on the run
A lifetime spent preparing for the journey
He is closer now and the search is on
Reading from a map in the mind
Yes there's the ragged hill
And there's the boat on the river
And when the rain came down
He heard a wild dog howl
There were voices in the night (Don't do it)
Voices out of sight (Don't do it)
Too many men have failed before
Whatever you do
Don't pay the ferryman
Don't even fix a price
Don't pay the ferryman
Until he gets you to the other side
In the rolling mist
Then he gets on board
Now there'll be no turning back
Beware that hooded old man
At the rudder
And then the lightning flashed
And the thunder roared
And people calling out his name
And dancing bones that jabbered
And a moaned on the water
Then the ferryman said
"There is trouble ahead
So you must pay me now" (Don't do it)
"You must pay me now" (Don't do it)
And still that voice came from beyond
Whatever you do
Don't pay the ferryman
Don't even fix a price
Don't pay the ferryman
Until he gets you to the other side
