Canciones para una vida - Ravenous - Carnage In Carthage

 

CARNAGE  IN  CARTHAGE

Ravenous es una banda canadiense de power metal que en estos días ha presentado su segundo LP de estudio, es por lo tanto una banda de aún bastante reciente formación, (2016) que practican un power metal del que se pueden sacar muchos matices y semejanzas pero utilizadas de tal manera que dan a la banda a su vez un sello bastante propio y personal, si bien no estamos ante un power de corte 100% europeo, si que sin embargo termino por encontrar mayor afinidad a este último que al nativo de la banda. Estamos ante un grupo que gusta de las composiciones llenas de melodía, con coros enganchones y con letras por lo general que versan en muchas ocasiones sobre temática histórica. En 2019 editan su debut, "Eat the fallen", y como decía más arriba en este 2021 han editado su segundo esfuerzo compositivo titulado  "Hubris", del que hoy quiero dejar en el blog el tema que abre la obra, "Carnage In Carthage", gran presentación del album de la que dejo un enlace a youtube.

Oh Rome, oh Rome, my home… I bid you goodbye
It shall be a fine spring morning when Armageddon arrives
Oh death it will come and no one will be spared
Not one building standing, our fires prepared
Defile the shrines, we do what we must
Reducing the city to dust

A campaign of vilification, a stab in the back
Their memory and history burned like their charred ruins turned black
So close off the ports and starve them all out
They sacrifice children on alters of blood
Relentless we stand, now suffer our wrath
Devouring all in our path

80,000 strong, our ships have been deployed
Delenda Est Karthāgō – Carthage Must Be Destroyed

Woe, Karthāgō - Jewel of both the land and sea
Woe, Karthāgō - Fire will be your destiny
Woe, Karthāgō - Diamond of the eastern land
Woe, Karthāgō - See your blood across the desert sand

They call me a murderous shadow, a scholar of death
Malevolent tutor of triumph, I'll steal their every breath
Puritans and zealots with venomous hate
A word from the senate, we cannot debate
The rise of an empire that rules over all demands the over ones fall

A tutelage that's stained with blood
These people made of wood and mud
We'll cast them to the void
Delenda Est Karthāgō – Carthage Must Be Destroyed

Woe, Karthāgō - Jewel of both the land and sea
Woe, Karthāgō - Fire will be your destiny
Woe, Karthāgō - Diamond of the eastern land
Woe, Karthāgō - See your blood across the desert sand

Woe, Karthāgō - Jewel of both the land and sea
Woe, Karthāgō - Fire will be your destiny
Woe, Karthāgō - Diamond of the eastern land
Woe, Karthāgō - See your blood across the desert sand
