Canciones para una vida - Terra Atlantica - Gates Of The Netherrealm

 

GATES  OF  THE  NETHERREALM

Segundo Lp de los alemanes "Terra Atlantica" que han editado este 2020, de título "Age Of Steam" y donde dan continuidad al muy interesante debut de 2017 "The city once divine". Para ser justos con mi sensación inicial, en realidad esperaba un paso más consistente en este segundo LP, y me refiero  no a la contundencia compositiva sino a que se notase más la evolución y asentamiento con respecto al debut. Para nada es que este segundo album resulte ser malo, y posiblemente se trate más de las expectativas que despertó en mí su debut que a otro particular. sea como sea seguimos en esa onda power de corte europeo, con su temática "Steampunk" o retrofuturísta como linea estética y argumental y con buenos momentos musicales como el que hoy quiero dejar en el blog, en esta ocasión en forma de la canción "Gates of the netherrealm" de la que dejo un enlace a youtube.

 Standing alone in the darkness
before the unknown
Feeling the pain of a tortured soul
It's freezing me cold
but i will carry on
Deeper below on the streams
of the Styx I must go
When we passed through the gate
will we make our escape?
Take her back home

Now I am here at the abyss, the
end of the world
River of flames and Kokytos, they
fall to Acheron's source
where no mortal should go
Legends have told of a beast that
awaits at the gate
Hellish hound in the dark
with a metallic bark
and poisonous breath

Where the nights are dark and
ravenous, where all lifeforce fades
into grey
Cross the Styx, betray the ferry-
man You have reached the point of
no more return

Carry on to the gates of the Netherrealm
Far beyond on the streams of the underworld
Falling down where the flames of eternity ever burn
I will return
Carry on to the gates of the Netherrealm
Far beyond on the streams of the underworld
Falling down where the flames of eternity ever burn
I know I will return

[Spoken]
And as the ship went down the fall of Kokytos, sails
tore and planks were shattered. But the immortal
souls of ancient Atlantis dove into the floods of the
Acheron and with their last little strength carried
the wreckage upon the shore before vanishing for
all eternity

Standing at the gates of Hades
Cerberus awaits in fury
To control his rage you must be
gifted with the force of music

Carry on to the gates of the Netherrealm
Far beyond on the streams of the underworld
Falling down where the flames of eternity ever burn
I will return
Carry on to the gates of the Netherrealm
Far beyond on the streams of the underworld
Falling down where the flames of eternity ever burn
I know I will return

Carry on to the gates of the Netherrealm
Far beyond on the streams of the underworld
Falling down where the flames of eternity ever burn
(We passed through the gate
We walked into our fate
Mistakes still make us learn)
I will return
Carry on to the gates of the Netherrealm
Far beyond on the streams of the underworld
Falling down where the flames of eternity ever burn
(Now onward we go
The abyss below
leaves nothing to concern)
Cause I know I will return
