Canciones para una vida - Battle Beast - Master Of Illusion

 

MASTER  OF  ILLUSION

Primeros coletazos del que será el sexto LP de estudio de los finlandeses "Battle Beast" cuya salida oficial se espera para este próximo mes de enero de 2022. Es curioso el duelo, (buscado o no), que la banda se trae a la hora de editar material con la banda creada por su ex compañero Anton Kabanen "Beast In Black", conicidiendo por lo genral en la publicación de diiscos de ambas bandas por tan solo unos meses de diferencia. Más allá de polémicas, (reales o casualidades), lo cierto es que Battle Beast sin Kabanen siguen adelante con paso firme, en una propuesta compositiva que tienen clara y que va en esa línea que también han trazado Beast in black, aunque menos electrónica que estos últimos. El primer adelanto de la nueva obra de 2022 se llama "Master Of Illusion" y muestra bien esa continuidad a la que me refiero, una canción de la que hoy dejo un enlace a youtube.

Mirror, mirror on the wall who’s the greatest of them all?
I’m the master of illusion welcome to my mad delusion
I’m the one who makes the rules for the heroes and the fools
I can tear down angels from the sky and make Mona Lisa cry
You can hear the weeping violins long before the bitter end begins
You can see the strings and puppeteer before the dusk will make them disappear
The game is over
No more rounds to play, it’s time to pay
Who’s got the joker?
The game is over
Who’s got the joker to kill the lies and make your heart recall there’s no other sky to fall
The dominoes of greed are falling for your endless needsYou’re the master of illusion lost in your sad delusion
Every time you roll the dice we’re the ones who pay the priceWhile the oceans boil for your games you just feed the flames
You can hear the weeping violins long before the bitter end begins
You can see the strings and puppeteer before the dusk will make them disappear
The game is over
No more rounds to play, it’s time to pay
Who’s got the joker?
The game is overWho’s got the joker to kill the lies and make your heart recall there’s no other sky to fall
And you will ask: “Which one am I? Am I dead or still alive?”
Reflections of the real fade
The stranger in the mirror remains
Can you hear the weeping violins and cut the strings before the end begins?
The game is over
No more rounds to play, it’s time to pay
Who’s got the joker?
The game is overWho’s got the joker?
We are the ones; we hold the cards
There’s no other sky to fall
