EMPIRE
Uno de los momentos álgidos dentro de la carrera de los estadounidenses Queensryche, sobre todo en lo referente también a ventas fue este "Empire" de 1990, la cuarta obra de estudio de la banda y la que llevaba consigo la difícil tarea de relevar a la impresionante "Operation mindcrime" de 1988. Con este disco, "Empire" encontramos a la banda en uno de sus momentos dulces, posiblemente uno de los últimos en conjunto, como obra total, que nos ofrecieron antes de tomar caminos un tanto más digamos diferentes, por no poner adjetivos más hirientes, el caso es que la banda daba algunos de los últimos pasos en una carrera que solo hizo aguas en adelante comparando de donde y como habían desarrollado los inicios de la misma. Empire, un disco redondo, nunca mejor dicho, perfecto, con una cierta evolución sonora pero en su justa medida que daba respuesta como digo al apoteósico culmen de su carrera Operation Mindcrime. De ella hoy quiero dejar uno de sus temas icónicos, el que daba nombre a la obra, "Empire", de la que dejo un enlace a youtube de su clip oficial.

"Sorry, I’m just... it’s starting to hit me like a... a... 2 ton heavy thing"
Last night the word came down, ten dead in Chinatown.
Innocent, their only crime was being in the wrong place, at the wrong time
Too bad, people say what's wrong with the kids today
Tell you right now they've got nothing to lose
They're building EMPIRE!
Johnny used to work after school
at the cinema show.
Gotta hustle if he wants an education
he's got a long way to go.
Now he's out on the street all day
selling Crack to the people who pay.
Got an AK-47 for his best friend
business the American way.
Eastside meets Westside downtown.
No time, the walls fall down
Can't you feel it coming? EMPIRE! Can't you hear it calling?
Black man, trapped again. hold his chain in his hand.
Brother killing brother for the profit of another,
Game point, nobody wins. Decline, right on time.
What happened to the dream sublime?
Tear it all down, we'll put it up again. Another EMPIRE?
Eastside meets Westside downtown.
No time, no line, the walls fall down.
Can't you feel it coming? EMPIRE!
Can't you hear it coming EMPIRE!
Can't someone here stop it...??!!
“In the school year 1986 to 87 local state and federal governments spent up to a combined total of 60.6 million dollars on law enforcement.
Federal law enforcement expenditures ranked last in absolute dollars, and accounted for only 6% of all federal spending.
By way of comparison, the federal government spent 24 million more on space exploration, and 43 times more on national defense and international relations than on law enforcement.”
Can’t you feel it coming? EMPIRE!
Can’t you hear it calling? EMPIRE!
Can’t you feel it coming? EMPIRE!
Can’t you hear it calling? EMPIRE!
Can’t you feel it coming? EMPIRE!
Can’t you hear it calling? EMPIRE!
Can’t you feel it coming? EMPIRE!
