BRIDGE OF DEATH
Que lejos quedan ya esos años en que una banda como Manowar creaba con la misma fecha dos discos enteritos, sin remezclas, directos ni singles o EP's , discos, y es que hablamos de 1984, y de una época en la que aún no habían llevado al extremo sus pretensiones de dominación sobre el resto de grupos bajo su idea de lo que ha de ser el verdadero sonido metálico. Más allá de esa fama merecida, como banda siempre me han gustado, su sonido es necesario dentro de nuestra música, y además ha ido creando escuela e influencia en otras bandas, y si no existiera Manowar deberían crearlo, pero volviendo la vista atrás, a los incios de su carrera nos encontramos con un grupo que se acercaba más al sonido heavy metal clásico, viéndose unas raices comunes a muchas otras bandas, aunque siempre con su propio toque, por supuesto. Hoy quiero dejar en el blog otra de las canciones de su tercer LP, "Hail To England", de 1984, en concreto la canción que cierra el disco, "Bridge of death" una de esas canciones que me han acompañado toda mi vida y de la que hoy dejo en el blog un enlace a youtube.
Slowly crossing as the river runs below
Never stopping for what's waiting soon will show
And this last time looking back I'll see my home
For he awaits me reaching for my soul
He calls my name and waves me on
The fallen one he stands in flame
Well the life that he has given full of riches and success
Has a price that I made good in blood to pay
And the light he now is showing to guide my every footstep
Is insurance if I falter on my way
And what God has now forsaken and man has never seen
Are the riches of the underworld below
All my years of earthly pleasures gave support unto the bridge
I now cross it giving him my soul
Dark lord I summon thee
Demanding the sacred right to burn in Hell
Ride up on Hell's hot wind
Face one more evil than thou
Take my lustful soul
Drink my blood as I drink yours
Impale me on the horns of death
Cut off my head release all my evil
Lucifer is King, praise Satan
I know the one who waits Satan is his name
Across the Bridge of Death there he stands in flame
I know the one who waits Satan is his name
Across the Bridge of Death there he stands in flame
He is my provider as I walk into the void
For eternity I'll give to him my soul
I shall do his bidding obey him without question
Even walk among the living if I'm told
Satan don't forsake me
I wait for you to take me
Grant me wings and as your messenger I'll fly
Never stopping for what's waiting soon will show
And this last time looking back I'll see my home
For he awaits me reaching for my soul
He calls my name and waves me on
The fallen one he stands in flame
Well the life that he has given full of riches and success
Has a price that I made good in blood to pay
And the light he now is showing to guide my every footstep
Is insurance if I falter on my way
And what God has now forsaken and man has never seen
Are the riches of the underworld below
All my years of earthly pleasures gave support unto the bridge
I now cross it giving him my soul
Dark lord I summon thee
Demanding the sacred right to burn in Hell
Ride up on Hell's hot wind
Face one more evil than thou
Take my lustful soul
Drink my blood as I drink yours
Impale me on the horns of death
Cut off my head release all my evil
Lucifer is King, praise Satan
I know the one who waits Satan is his name
Across the Bridge of Death there he stands in flame
I know the one who waits Satan is his name
Across the Bridge of Death there he stands in flame
He is my provider as I walk into the void
For eternity I'll give to him my soul
I shall do his bidding obey him without question
Even walk among the living if I'm told
Satan don't forsake me
I wait for you to take me
Grant me wings and as your messenger I'll fly
