RUN FOR THE NIGHT
Un disco de los
inicios de una de las bandas de primer nivel en esto del heavy metal.
Evidentemente nos referimos a Blind Guardian y su "Battalions of fear",
su primera obra, de 1988, y menudo debut, pues se trata de un discazo.
Ya hemos dicho que Blind
Guardian se formó en 1984 en Alemania,
bajo el nombre de Lucifer's Heritage, con el que funcionaron hasta
1986, en que cambian a Blind Guardian. Los miembros fundadores fueron
Hansi Kursch y Andre Olbrich, incorporándose al poco tiempo Thomen
Stauch y Marcus Siepen. De ellos solo Thomen Stauch ha dejado la banda
en 2005. Algunos otros músicos han pasado por el grupo y grandes
colaboraciones como la de Kai Hansen, pero en general Blind Guardian han
tenido mucha estabilidad en su formación. Influenciados por la
literatura, (sobre todo Tolkien y Stephen King) y el cine, sus letras
hacen referencia a esos temas y en ocasiones ayudan a la linea
argumental de canciones de la banda o incluso de discos enteros. Tienen
ya 10
discos de estudio, a cual mejor, lo que les ha creado un nombre entre
los grupos internacionales más respetados dentro de nuestro mundillo.
Volviendo al disco que nos ocupa, se trata de los inicios de la banda en
que su influencia más speed metal era evidente aunque con una
influencia grande de la banda Helloween ya que ambas estaban en contacto
y crecian casi al mismo tiempo, de hecho, Kai Hansen de Helloween
colaboraría en la siguiente obra de Blind Guardian "Follow the blind" de
1989. Este "Battalions of fear" tiene temas memorables, como "guardian
of the blind", "Battalions of fear", "Majesty" o "Run for the night", temazo del que hoy dejo un enlace a youtube. Otro de esos discos que merece la pena comprarse.
There comes the last part and end of our old age
With thunder and lightning the dark lord is taking
The crown of the whole world
His creatures will kill me poisons my soul
To the end I will fight but I know that the things
That I do are so meanless - oh, no !
I see the hill but it's so far away I know I can't reach it
But I try it again and again in my dark dreams
He's wasting my last will how long can I stay here
When the mightiest of all will now
Refrain:
Run for the Night burn away
The times of his fall I've to pay
Visions of darkness prepared for the last strike
Bloodlust their weapons and madness you see feel their
Eyes there's no way out
I'm lost in a dark dream and losing control
To the end I will fight but I know that the things
That I do are so meanless - oh, no
I see the hill but it's so far away I know I can't reach it
But try it again and again in my dark dreams
He's wasting my last will how long can I stay here
When the mightiest of all will now
Refrain:
Run for the Night burn away
The times of his fall I've to pay
You see them running in the shadows of the night
It is not what it used to be
They've been scared and they've been anxiously tonight
You see them running with the wind
They
Run for the night
Run for the night
Run for the night
Solo
Refrain:
Run for the Night burn away
The times of his fall I've to pay
Run for the Night burn away
The times of his fall I've to pay
With thunder and lightning the dark lord is taking
The crown of the whole world
His creatures will kill me poisons my soul
To the end I will fight but I know that the things
That I do are so meanless - oh, no !
I see the hill but it's so far away I know I can't reach it
But I try it again and again in my dark dreams
He's wasting my last will how long can I stay here
When the mightiest of all will now
Refrain:
Run for the Night burn away
The times of his fall I've to pay
Visions of darkness prepared for the last strike
Bloodlust their weapons and madness you see feel their
Eyes there's no way out
I'm lost in a dark dream and losing control
To the end I will fight but I know that the things
That I do are so meanless - oh, no
I see the hill but it's so far away I know I can't reach it
But try it again and again in my dark dreams
He's wasting my last will how long can I stay here
When the mightiest of all will now
Refrain:
Run for the Night burn away
The times of his fall I've to pay
You see them running in the shadows of the night
It is not what it used to be
They've been scared and they've been anxiously tonight
You see them running with the wind
They
Run for the night
Run for the night
Run for the night
Solo
Refrain:
Run for the Night burn away
The times of his fall I've to pay
Run for the Night burn away
The times of his fall I've to pay
