THE PROPHECY
Hoy
quiero
traer de nuevo al blog la séptima obra de estudio de Iron Maiden, de 1988, un
disco en el que la banda estaba inmersa en plena experimentación con su
sonido desde el punto de vista técnico. Este es un periodo que se puede
aplicar también a su anterior obra "Somewhere in time", de 1986, donde
utilizan guitarras con un "efecto tipo sintetizador". Para este "Seventh
son of a seventh son", utilizaron directamente el sintetizador para
crear la atmósfera que querían en esta obra conceptual basada en el
libro "Seventh son", de Orson Scott Card, un autor de ciencia ficción.
Este buen álbum conceptual fue el segundo del grupo en alcanzar el
número uno en las listas inglesas, llevando a la banda a encabezar el
cartel del "monsters of rock" de 1988, en el que tocaron ante el mayor
aforo de la historia del festival, ni más ni menos que unas 107.000
personas, y es que, como ya he dicho en alguna anterior reseña de Iron
Maiden, estos chicos son una banda de records. Realmente, el éxito del
grupo esta completamente justificado, y la calidad de esta obra en
concreto también, con unos Maiden en plena forma, con temas como "Can I
play with madness", "The evil that men do", "The clairvoyant", etc...
realmente cada una de las canciones. Quiero dejar hoy en el blog otra de las canciones del disco, "The Prophecy", un temazo más, y es que Iron Maiden hacía discos como si no
costase, con todo temas memorables, sin descartes, qué década la de los
80 para esta banda, pues como decía, una canción de la que dejo un enlace a youtube.
Now that I know that the right time has come, my prediction will surely be true
The impending disaster it looms and the whole of the village is doomed
Why won't you listen to me, it is so hard to understand?
That I am the real seventh son, your life or death on me depends
Suffering and pain impending disaster
Souls crying the devil's laughter
Heard the cry of the seven whistlers
Lucifer smiles looks on and waits
I'll take your life in my hands
Your fate your fortune's in my visions
Heed what I say and you'll see what will be
Please listen to me
Now that they see the disaster is done, now they put all the blame unto me
They feel I brought on a curse, don't they know that the torment
It stays with me knowing that I walk alone through the eyes of the future I see
They don't even know what fear is, don't they know I'm the one who is cursed?
Purgatory beckons souls lost forever
Life after death or heaven hereafter
Heard the call of the seven whistlers again
Now Lucifer laughs hell awaits
I had their lives in my hands
Their fate their fortunes in my visions
No one believed in my true prophecy
And now it's too late
The impending disaster it looms and the whole of the village is doomed
Why won't you listen to me, it is so hard to understand?
That I am the real seventh son, your life or death on me depends
Suffering and pain impending disaster
Souls crying the devil's laughter
Heard the cry of the seven whistlers
Lucifer smiles looks on and waits
I'll take your life in my hands
Your fate your fortune's in my visions
Heed what I say and you'll see what will be
Please listen to me
Now that they see the disaster is done, now they put all the blame unto me
They feel I brought on a curse, don't they know that the torment
It stays with me knowing that I walk alone through the eyes of the future I see
They don't even know what fear is, don't they know I'm the one who is cursed?
Purgatory beckons souls lost forever
Life after death or heaven hereafter
Heard the call of the seven whistlers again
Now Lucifer laughs hell awaits
I had their lives in my hands
Their fate their fortunes in my visions
No one believed in my true prophecy
And now it's too late
