LAND OF ICE
Otro de los albumes clave de esta banda alemana que ya he confesado tantas veces que me encanta. "Under Jolly Roger", de 1987, en la que la banda daría un golpe de timón lírico para decidirse en adelante a centrar su argumento e identidad hacia el mundo corsario, seña de identidad del grupo en adelante y motor imitativo para tantos grupos posteriores que no podían tener mejor espejo en el que mirarse. Obra recomendable de principio a fin, que ha vendido mas de un cuarto de millon de copias a lo largo y ancho del planeta y de la que hoy dejo en el blog su canción "Land of ice", de la que dejo un enlace a youtube.

In 1987 they build a new machine
To conquer our future, to face things never seen
Curious of new weapons with more power to destroy
Ready for their voyage with their exciting dangerous toy
Flickering lights in the dark indicating ignition
Energy runs through the circuits to start the transmission
Land of ice
In 1999 they find their destination
But reality on the screens destroys their fascination
Ruins and debris neither life nor the spore
A desert of ice with all the signs of nuclear war
Only the wind is breaking the threatening silence
Sensors show no human beings are living here now
There are shadows moving around the vessel more and more
Disfigured creatures gathering, scratching claws on the door
The choir of the damned built of thousands of rough throats
"You are the humans of the past, who blasted our hopes"
Have you come to see the desolate world you created
Now you can take back a message to spread in your time
Tell 'em what happens if they will continue this madness
Stop building bombs which are able to change the world
Into the land of ice
By Nash
