Canciones para una vida - Suidakra - Beneath The Red Eagle

 

BENEATH  THE  RED  EAGLE

Otro de esos grupos a los que retornar asiduamente es "Suidakra", estos alemanes con su ya más que importante trayectoria que muestra 14 LP's de estudio en más de dos décadas de historia, (desde 1994). Como ya es conocido su sonido se centra en un death melódico, con tintes folk celticos y una lírica épico histórica, uno de esos grupos del subgénero que hace una propuesta seria, contundente y fiel, uno de esos grupos que nunca defrauda a sus seguidores y que sorprende a muchos que no les han dado la ocasión desde sus primeras escuchas. Desde luego hay mucho donde escoger repasando su discografía y hoy quiero repetir con su "Eternal Defiance" de 2013, undécimo LP cronológicamente hablando y una de sus obras predilectas para mí, y de ella hoy dejo en el blog su temazo "Beneath the red eagle", de la que dejo un enlace a youtube.

Once this day was but a dream
Yet now I'm here and this is real
This moment will live on through all times
The hills of Spain I'll leave behind

Today I'll join the legion with pride
The time has come to say goodbye

Today, my son, we must part ways
Go forth beyond the hills of Spain

O, my son, the heavens you could scale
Yet only Gods may live forevermore
As for man, nothing of his days remains
Unless you earn yourself a name

Beneath the Eagle you will march
To fight for Rome, to slay or die
Under the Eagle you will ride
To fight to the end and then fight again

To fight to the end and then fight again
If word should come of my demise
Then do not cry and keep in mind
That I'll have found a good way to die

So march, my son, under the Roman Eagle
On the road from where there is no way back
Let your dreams forever be your guide
And inspire you to deeds of heroic might
Yet you, my son, unlike other men
Are blessed with a special trade
To look beyond the veil of time
And turn the hand of fate

Beneath the Eagle I will march
To fight for Rome, to slay or die
Under the Eagle I will ride
To fight to the end and then fight again

To fight to the end and then fight again
If word should come of your demise
Then I won't cry and keep in mind
That you'll have found a good way to die

Doubt is lurking in my mind
For what I've seen in my weirdest dream
Eternal life, it can't be real
And though indeed I will earn fame...
History will erase my name
