DRAKENGUARD
La banda alemana de folk metal Saltatio Mortis, sigue su camino en este 2024 con el disco "Finsterwatch" que vio la luz el pasado 31 de mayo, siendo ya su décimo tercer album de estudio desde su formación en 2000. Como siempre su influjo medieval está presente y que mejor manera de publicitarse que versionar uno de sus temas en ingles con el refuerzo de Blind Guardian, y la orquesta sinfónica de Praga, "Drakenguard" es el tema y de él dejo hoy en el blog un enlace a youtube de su espectacular y cinemático clip oficial.

Darkness weighs heavily upon the land.
The mountain peaks soar ominously towards the heavens.
After all these years, it is here again.
This mysterious whispering in the night.
What is hiding there in the gloomy forests?
A storm is gathering.
The cold is now biting on the Dark Ridge.
Yet, there is hope.
For in the midst of this gloom, the guardians of the watch stand ready, up high on the towers. Day after day. Night after night.
Ready to defend our families and our land with their lives.
When they ignite their torches…then may the
Goddess have mercy on us.
It is the fires of fear that burn there now.
May the courage of the watch burn brighter than the light of the flames.
For they are our last bastion against that which lies in wait for us in the shadows.
And our only hope remains there – there on the
Darkenguard.
High in the sky, the flames ablaze
To the heavens vast and far
A sign of hope in darkest nights
Each pyre ́s like a burning star
Bid farewell, fellows
Let’s sing the final chant
Shield to shield united through the night
On the Darkenguard
Stoic warriors, without rest/peace
Our gaze as sharp as steel
Nothing to fear,
in unison
We stand as one,
the final strike/fight
Be wary, fellows
The shadows are awake
Shield to shield united through the night
And if the world’s on fire
Together we will pass the flame
Until our ashes reunite - eternalized
And if the world’s on fire
I know that we will meet again
Beyond the realms, beyond all time - immortalized
Choir:
Fires enlighten the sky
We are the bane of the dark
Rondra, redeem our prayer
Take our side, for we are the
Guard
Warriors, rise up
We‘re the
Darkenguard
Be the light at the end of our world
Hold these towers through the
Orkensturm
Stand together, for we are the Guard
