Canciones para una vida - Judas Priest - Beyond The Realms Of Death

BEYOND  THE  REALMS  OF  DEATH

Un motivo más para haber incluido una etiqueta extra en el blog con las bandas anteriores a 1979, y es que para entender globalmente este bendito sonido no podemos prescindir de ninguna parte de su historia, particularmente de sus comienzos, del momento en que se crea como tal. Y de esa época, si hay una banda con mayúsculas en cuanto a sonido y ya trayectoria esos fueron Judas Priest, de entre sus discos setenteros hoy quiero rescatar el cuarto, "Stained Class", de 1978, una obra de nuevo antológica, importante para el propio grupo por detalles compositivos y estéticos, como el estreno de su logo definitivo, e igualmente por lo influyente en el futuro de bandas y sonido mismo heavy metal. De los muchos temas que se pueden destacar hoy quiero hacerlo con la fantástica "Beyond the realms of death", en clave de balada - medio tiempo - o balada energética por momentos, temazo tremendo del que dejo un enlace a youtube.

He had enough, he couldn't take anymore.
He'd found a place in his mind and slammed the door.
No matter how they tried, they couldn't understand.
They washed and dressed him, fed him by hand.

I've left the world behind.
I'm safe here in my mind.
Free to speak with my own kind.
This is my life, this is my life.
I'll decide not you.

Withdrawn he'd sit there, stare blank into space.
No sign of life would flicker on his face.
Until one day he smiled, it seemed as though with pride.
The wind kissed him "goodbye" and then he died.

I've left the world behind.
I'm safe here in my mind.
Free to speak with my own kind.
This is my life, this is my life.
I'll decide not you.

Keep the world with all its sin.
It's not fit for livin' in.
I will start again.
It can take forever and ever and ever and ever but I'll still win.

How many like him are there still?
But to us, all seem to have lost the will.
They lie in thousands.
Plagued and lost, is nothing worth this bitter cost?

I've left the world behind.
I'm safe here in my mind.
Free to speak with my own kind.
This is my life, this is my life.
I'll decide not you.

Keep the world with all its sin.
It's not fit for livin' in.

Beyond the realms of death.
