Canciones para una vida - Witherfall - The Last Scar

 

THE  LAST  SCAR

Los estadounidenses "Witherfall" son una banda cuyo sonido se enmarca en un power con toques progresivos bastante hija de su escuela, es decir, suena americana, pero para nada peca de nada en concreto, lo cual ha de tomarse como un piropo y abre el foco para muchos tipos de metalheads potenciales que encontrarán un recoveco en el que ver reflejado ese punto que les guste. El aire melancólico envuelve en general la obra, favorecido por la versatilidad vocal de Joseph Michael, que muestra igualmente su capacidad de fuerza y potencia. Uno de esos grupos que acuden a mi cabeza es Iced Earth, no en vano la mano de Jon Schaffer está tras la producción de este tercer LP de Witherfall "curse of autumn" de este 2021. Se ve el enorme potencial del grupo que comenzó su andadura en 2013 y que va cosechando cada vez mayor número de seguidores por méritos propios. De este último LP de la banda quiero dejar hoy en el blog una de sus canciones, en concreto hoy "The last Scar", de la que dejo un enlace a youtube.

Wrapping my hands around your throat, so your empty words cannot escape
Trapping inside forever deception and the lies that have sealed your fate
And now you struggle to find your way out
Hiding scars, "knowing her mouth is a tomb"
Leaving behind the oppression of your mind
Her shifting eyes no longer aggressive as the color drains from her face
Leaving behind a life so pathetic
I told you I would make you pay
And through your anguish I find my way out
Is this remorse? "Knowing she could seal your doom."
Is it redemption to leave your lifeless... but still alive?

Chorus:
I saw the light and it burned
This is the last scar
You've crossed the line and I'll make you learn
I saw the light and it burned
You've given your last scar
I've suffered enough and now it's your turn

Running through mazes of insanity the chaotic logic of the co-dependent
I thought I had left you, thought I was rid of your curse
And still I struggle, is there no way out?
Am I condemned? "Knowing this house is my tomb"
Would you forgive me if I just end it tonight?

Repeat Chorus

Bridge:
Lying in a pool of crimson starlight
Glimmers from above upon my head
The past comes rushing in
I will not let the terrors in...
I give myself to you upon this altar

Repeat Chorus

It's the last scar
