Canciones para una vida - Sabaton - Father

 

FATHER

Un poco en la línea de pensamiento de la anterior entrada del blog sobre Rage, quiero hoy dejar el nuevo material de estudio de los suecos Sabaton, otro grupo que como digo, se apunta a la idea de "ordeñar la vaca" con la excusa de dar material nuevo a los fans. En realidad por sorpresa la banda ha anunciado la presentación de una trilogía de EP's que seguiran con la temática de la primera guerra mundial, en la que se incluye un tema nuevo y cinco temas escogidos de su discografía. Realmente uno no puede evitar pensar en el afan recaudatorio y la maniobra de marketing para vender un puñado de temas nuevos en lugar de haciendolo en un único EP, en tres, pero bueno, es parte del negocio musical y los seguidores de la banda y de su sonido seguro que lo celebrarán. El título de este primer EP de la trilogía es "Weapons of the modern age" y el de su tema nuevo "Father", canción de la que dejo hoy un enlace a youtube.

A long ago in eastern Prussia
Young men with great ambitions rise
So who can tell me who can say for sure
Which one will win the Nobel Prize?
It was a golden age for science
The kaiserreich would hold the key
And as the conflict came and tension rose
The manifest of the 93

Haber-Bosch, the great alliance
Where's the contradiction?
Fed the world by ways of science
Sinner or a saint?

Father of toxic gas, and chemical warfare
His dark creation has been revealed
Flow over no man's land, a poisonous nightmare
A deadly mist on the battlefield

"Perversion of ideals of science"
Lost words of alienated wife
And in the trenches of the western front
Unknowing soldiers pay the price
And on the battlefield they're dying
And on the fields the crops are grown
So who can tell us what is right or wrong
Maths or morality alone?

Haber-Bosch, the great alliance
Where's the contradiction?
Fed the world by ways of science
Sinner or a saint?

Father of toxic gas, and chemical warfare
His dark creation has been revealed
Flow over no man's land, a poisonous nightmare
A deadly mist on the battlefield

Father of toxic gas, and chemical warfare
His dark creation has been revealed
Flow over no man's land, a poisonous nightmare
A deadly mist on the battlefield

During times when there's peace he belonged to the world
During times when there's war he belonged to his place of birth

Where, will this lead?
What's coming next from your inventions?
We wonder where, where does it end?
Who can foresee, see what will be?

Haber-Bosch, the great alliance
Where's the contradiction?
Fed the world by ways of science
Sinner or a saint?

Father of toxic gas, and chemical warfare
His dark creation has been revealed
Flow over no man's land, a poisonous nightmare
A deadly mist on the battlefield

Father of toxic gas, and chemical warfare
His dark creation has been revealed
Flow over no man's land, a poisonous nightmare
A deadly mist on the battlefield
