RAVENBLACK
Siempre sucede igual a la hora de afrontar un asunto como la publicación de un recopilatorio por parte de una banda consagrada, y es que resulta inevitable hacerte la pregunta de si será por la gloria, por la pasta o por cualquier otro motivo. Siempre me ha parecido por otra parte algo lícito, sin duda, siempre que no se abuse de ello como ya ha sucedido en más de una ocasión con bandas con casi tantos LP's como recopilatorios. Edguy no ha abusado de ello en exceso y, con 11 albumes y tres EP's han logrado una cantidad más que respetable de material entre el que rebuscar a la hora de decidir cual es lo mejor de lo mejor de su cosecha, y si a eso unimos que han incluido algo de material nuevo para la ocasión, se me antoja que puede ser bastante acertada la edición de este "Monuments" que verá la luz de forma oficial el próximo 14 de julio de este 2017. Hoy quiero dejar en el blog un tema nuevo que incluirá el mencionado recopilatorio, "Ravenblack", con el inconfundible regusto de Edguy y del que dejo un enlace a youtube de su Lyric vídeo oficial.
You wake up to the screaming darkness
You brave the murk that moves
Like a bat in the night
Or an afllatus divine?
You're one of those terminal illusions
They're looking through you
They don't care what's inside
If you laugh while you die
You're spinning your cocoon
Now is it really you
Or is the expectation that surrounds you?
Choking!
Lonely and invisible we run
Fade away!
Walls they gave in on you
I'm the ground that's gonna open
Light of day
Drove you out to the gloom
I'm the Ravenblack that's there for you
Determination called your name
You feel like a template screened
Onto a wall of concrete by a social elite
You dwell on thoughts of being elsewhere
Receive the blessings of those
Roads in the night there's no place
In the light for those castles in the sky
You sit and wonder why
The Ashen hand of reason
Wraps its cloak around your dream
Admonitory fingers
You fade away!
Walls they gave in on you
I'm the ground that's gonna open
Light of day
Drove you out to the gloom
I'm the Ravenblack that's there for you
They say you've got to want it
On the treadmill
You gotta want it badly
You're predestined to be
What they're eyes wanna see
A terminated fire!
Fade away!
Walls they gave in on you
I'm the ground that's gonna open
Light of day
Drove you out to the gloom
I'm the Ravenblack that's there for you
You brave the murk that moves
Like a bat in the night
Or an afllatus divine?
You're one of those terminal illusions
They're looking through you
They don't care what's inside
If you laugh while you die
You're spinning your cocoon
Now is it really you
Or is the expectation that surrounds you?
Choking!
Lonely and invisible we run
Fade away!
Walls they gave in on you
I'm the ground that's gonna open
Light of day
Drove you out to the gloom
I'm the Ravenblack that's there for you
Determination called your name
You feel like a template screened
Onto a wall of concrete by a social elite
You dwell on thoughts of being elsewhere
Receive the blessings of those
Roads in the night there's no place
In the light for those castles in the sky
You sit and wonder why
The Ashen hand of reason
Wraps its cloak around your dream
Admonitory fingers
You fade away!
Walls they gave in on you
I'm the ground that's gonna open
Light of day
Drove you out to the gloom
I'm the Ravenblack that's there for you
They say you've got to want it
On the treadmill
You gotta want it badly
You're predestined to be
What they're eyes wanna see
A terminated fire!
Fade away!
Walls they gave in on you
I'm the ground that's gonna open
Light of day
Drove you out to the gloom
I'm the Ravenblack that's there for you
