HEROES FOR SALE
Siguiendo con la interminable lista de banda interesantes de la década de los 80, de nuevo quiero hoy recurrir a la escena alemana para recuperar a otro grupo de esos de corta duración como banda, de breve carrera pero interesantes prestaciones, en esta ocasión con la etiqueta de proto power metal, aunque veo en su sonido rasgos del heavy metal de la old school tan de la época y la anterior a su formación, hecho este que sucedió en 1981 estando en activo prácticamente toda la citada década y comienzos de la siguiente, para editar tan solo dos LP's, "Twilight" en 1988, y "The Falcon" en 1992. Una vez más apenas llegaron a despegar y su nivel de conocimiento internacional fue bajo pero el interés compositivo de este tipo de grupos siempre termina siendo grande ayudando a entender en conjunto la escena general completa de una época en particular. Quiero hoy dejar en el blog una de las canciones de su primer LP, "Heroes for sale" de 1988, canción de la que dejo un enlace a youtube.
1863 Mr. Lincoln has proclaimed,
The southern slaves are free, unbound,
it's a national aim.
A civil war had started, blood ran on both sides,
Brother against brother,
Inevitable fight.
Gettysburg and Bull Run, thousands came to fight,
Abolition was a holy dream, for which they have died
War and fear,
Destruction - lot of pain
Their eyes have seen, wargames from Lee and Grant,
Political dreams.
They knew, nothing about change, black power will be:
Heroes for sale!
Today: same position, for me in the fields, (the're)
Heroes for sale!
Slavery is evil, freedom is right,
For black and white, for every man,
This ideal is a might.
1865 the war came to an end,
Appomattox Court House, rest for the land
The southern slaves are free, unbound,
it's a national aim.
A civil war had started, blood ran on both sides,
Brother against brother,
Inevitable fight.
Gettysburg and Bull Run, thousands came to fight,
Abolition was a holy dream, for which they have died
War and fear,
Destruction - lot of pain
Their eyes have seen, wargames from Lee and Grant,
Political dreams.
They knew, nothing about change, black power will be:
Heroes for sale!
Today: same position, for me in the fields, (the're)
Heroes for sale!
Slavery is evil, freedom is right,
For black and white, for every man,
This ideal is a might.
1865 the war came to an end,
Appomattox Court House, rest for the land
