CRUSADER
"Crusader" de
1984, sexto LP de la banda Saxon que aparece en uno de esos años mágicos para
el metal europeo, y mundial, 1984, con los Maiden editando "Powerslave", Judas
editando "Defenders of the faith", Accept editando "Balls to the
wall"... etc... y Saxon que ataca con este "Crusader". El disco sin duda
es antológico, basta con echar un vistazo a la lista de temas y darse
cuenta que muchas de ellas son de necesaria interpretación en cualquier
concierto de los "Sajones" ante sus fieles. Ya desde que vemos su
portada nos damos cuenta de que estos chicos venían a presentar batalla,
y viendo el estado de sus enemigos de prisioneros nada de nada, y es
que el disco no te da tregua, enganchando tema tras tema en una perfecta
conexión de aciertos compositivos. Casi puedes escoger al azar y
acertarás con el tema, y hoy quiero dejar en el blog un enlace del tema que da título al disco, "Crusader", uno de los cenits de la carrera de la banda, un tema también inmortal, también destinado a perdurar, igualmente lleno de matices y de buen hacer de una banda ya mucho más que asentada en el momento de la salida de la obra, una canción fundamental de la que dejo hoy un enlace a youtube.
(Who dares battle the Saracen)
Crusader, crusader, please take me with you
The battle lies far to the east
Crusader, crusader, don't leave me alone
I want to ride out on your quest
I'm waiting, I'm waiting, to stand by your side
To fight with you over the sea
They're calling, they're calling, I have to be there
The holy land has to be free
Fight the good fight
Believe what is right
Crusader, the Lord of the Realm
Fight the good fight
With all your might
Crusader, the Lord of the Realm
We're marching, we're marching, to a land far from home
No one can say who'll return
For Christendom's sake, we'll take our revenge
On the pagans from out of the east
We Christians are coming, with swords held on high
United by faith and the cause
The Saracen heathen will soon taste our steel
Our standards will rise 'cross the land
Fight the good fight
Believe what is right
Crusader, the Lord of the Realm
Fight the good fight
With all your might
Crusader, the Lord of the Realm
To battle, to battle, the Saracen hordes
We follow the warrior king
Onward, ride onward, into the fight
We carry the sign of the cross
Warlords of England, Knights of the Realm
Spilling their blood in the sand
Crusader, crusader, the legend is born
The future will honour your deeds
Fight the good fight
Believe what is right
Crusader, the Lord of the Realm
Fight the good fight
With all your might
Crusader, the Lord of the Realm
(Come Crusader let battle commence)
Fight the good fight
Believe what is right
Crusader, the Lord of the Realm
Crusader, the Lord of the Realm
Fight the good fight
