Amorphis - Light And Shadow - Canciones Para Una vida

 

LIGHT  AND  SHADOW 

Los finlandeses Amorphis son otra de esas bandas que con solo el hecho de anunciar material nuevo atraen las miradas del planeta metálico por completo, y es normal y merecido, una banda que obra tras obra muestra el nivel enorme que muestra Amorphis es sin duda una banda a la que mirar en cada propuesta que haga. Su anterior trabajo fue publicado en 2022 y este "Borderland", cuya salida oficial está prevista para el 26 de septiembre, será ya su décimo sexto album de estudio del que ya han dejado su primer adelanto, "Light and shadow" del que dejo hoy en el blog un enlace a youtube de su lyric video oficial.

Kneeling by the side of a stream
I bowed to the clear waters
Shadows danced in the deep
Sparkle of gold on the surface
The brook babbled and shone
As light and shadow slithered

I spread my arms and clenched my fists
I listened and I closed my eyes
To recognize the balance
I recalled the words of ancient seers
The council of the dead
The advice of the living
I raised my hands, unclenched my fists
The shadow slithered away

Dazzling in its shining green
A living tree was drawn
With specks of light and streaks of shadow
Seizing the light in my hand
I weighed the shadow in another
Heavy as a mountain they were
Each lighter than a feather

I spread my arms and clenched my fists
I listened and I closed my eyes
To recognize the balance
I recalled the words of ancient seers
The council of the dead
The advice of the living
I raised my hands, unclenched my fists
The shadow slithered away

Rising up to stand once more
So tiny under the great trees
I spied the treetops high above
The meander of their branches

I spread my arms and clenched my fists
I listened and I closed my eyes
To recognize the balance
I recalled the words of ancient seers
The council of the dead
The advice of the living
The light took wing and flew
The shadow slithered away
