SWORN IN THE METAL WIND
Hablar de Lost Horizon es hacerlo del puro power metal europeo, de calidad en grado máximo y a todos los niveles, y es que una vez más estamos hablando de la escuela sueca, que en estos temas power como en otros muchos suele siempre ser sinónimo de calidad. Si nos paramos a pensar en esto, y conociendo al grupo, a lo breve por desgracia de su carrera, tan solo no asalta una pregunta, como es posible que su historia fuese tan intensa, tan acojonantemente buena a nivel musical y tan corta, por desgracia desconozco la respuesta pero de lo que no cabe duda es de que al menos dejaron para la historia un par de discos antológicos si te gusta el género, dos muestras de su calidad que ya nadie quitará del camino. Lost Horizon estuvieron activos bajo ese nombre entre 1998 y 2004, y aunque siempre ha habido el rumor de su continuidad la verdad es que ya ha transcurrido demasiado tiempo para que sea cierto, antes de denominarse Lost Horizon tocaron bajo el nombre de "Highlander" entre 1990 y 1995, que había sido formado por ex miembros de Hammerfall, y reestructurada a finales de los 90 para cambiarse definitivamente el nombre a Lost Horizon. Como decía su discografía resulta por desgracia demasiado escasa con solo dos LP's "Awakening the world", de 2001 y "A flame to the ground beneath" de 2003. Hoy quiero dejar otro de los temas de su debut, en este caso "Sworn in the metal wind", todo un himno metálico que enseña muy bien lo que fue esta banda, y del que dejo un enlace a youtube.
Walking in the shadow of life's dreary side
Fallen down memory lane
Winds whip the world, just like the woes whip my mind
Where is that time when "right now" was The words
When the heart burned with will like a flare
All I now keep is just damned commonplace misery
Hey man! What is this?!
Sounds like wail of a wimp
Did you let loser side take command?!
Where's the warrior in you
And the spirit he got
You say - "lost"
No! It's somewhere inside
And you know there's a force that unites all of us
Leave the wasteland we together will!
If you´re broken, remember, you got faith within us!
Take now your next deep breath and revive
your old strength
Facing the abyss of heart's lonely grief
The bitch has polluted my soul
Rains flood the earth, just like the tears flood my eyes
Never again will my life be the same
Nothing can heal up my wounds
Guile and disgrace shall now follow me into the end
I just can not believe it
It's too weak to be true
Have you really forgotten your worth?!
Can't you see victory!?
You are now free again!
Look at me!
Yeah! I live my own life
If you once tasted treason from a female - leave that!
Every warrior has a gash on his sword
Don't forget you are metal, not some ass-kissing whore
Take some under your wings, but she must kiss the ring!
Winds of metal, make me once again
feel clear air's breath blowing in my wings!
I possess magic force
I am free in my words
Whole the world lays right below my feet
Life of duties and dogmas are just frames formed by rats
How'd I know?
Hey! I'm a guardian of truth
Now! Is really the time to wake up you old jade
Such as Phoenix spreads his firewings
I will help you remember by kicking your ass
And the will shall return
And again hearts shall burn
All the horns now will sing
Leading you back to the metal winds
Fallen down memory lane
Winds whip the world, just like the woes whip my mind
Where is that time when "right now" was The words
When the heart burned with will like a flare
All I now keep is just damned commonplace misery
