Canciones para una vida - Glacier - Spears Of The Empire

 

SPEARS  OF  THE  EMPIRE

Parece evidente que la banda estado unidense "Glacier" ha tomado en serio su regreso que efectuaron a nivel compositivo el pasado 2020 tras 35 años de silencio desde que editaran su único material de estudio hasta ese momento en forma de EP "Glacier", que con los años ha recibido mucho reconocimiento en el mundillo y siempre despertó muchas expectativas de una continuación que sin duda se ha hecho esperar demasiado. El primer LP "The passing of time" cumplio muy bien con dichas expectativas y ahora, en este 2022, editan un nuevo EP con dos temas, "Spears of the empire", que esperemos sea solo el preludio de un nuevo LP. Desde luego nunca es tarde para retomar las cosas buenas, y "Glacier" siempre dejaron clara su calidad. Dejo hoy un enlace a youtube del tema que da nombre a este nuevo EP.

Dawn breaks in acrid fear. The suffering will resume.
Bodies scrape across the stone with sand in every wound.
Bred in chains and born of tears, the wretched beg may death come soon.
Far away in foreign lands, a cruel hand delivers doom.

Descend. Into the pits of the damned.
e spears of the empire; always at hand.
Fear and despair under chariots of steel.
For all who would live will kneel.

Endless days in helpless rage. The whip across the skin.
Bow before the exalted sign; the crushing from within.
e cost of immortality. Ten million souls will share this fate.
e monumental vanity bestows a dire undying hate.

Descend. Into the pits of the damned.
The spears of the empire; always at hand.
Fear and despair under chariots of fire.
Building the throne ever higher.

Betrayer of souls
The flesh made sovereign supreme
Betrayer of souls
The eater of the dead awaits its feast

[solo]

A fervent prayer from an arid throat.
bereft of all but a thread of hope.
The mortal choice by war's demand;
To live as slave or die as man.

[solo]

Bleed – for your king – for your god – for your life
Bleed – for your king – for your soul – for all time

Night surrounds with jackal's howls. The shadows hide the horde.
For those escaped, horrors await; the twisted beasts of ancient lore.

Descend. Into the pits of the damned.
The spears of the empire; always at hand.
Fear and despair under chariots of fire.
Building the throne ever higher.

Betrayer of souls
The flesh made sovereign supreme
Betrayer of souls
The eater of the dead awaits its feast
