Magnum - Kingdom Of Madness

KINGDOM  OF  MADNESS 

Uno de los datos que deben evitar dudar sobre la magnitud de la banda británica Magnum, es el de su longevidad, la fecha de su debut, 1978, a través de la obra "Kingdom Of Madness", así pues, hablamos de uno de esos llamados pioneros, estos desde una vertiente más hard rockera, en sus inicios incluso progresivos, pero siempre importantes, influyentes, históricos y ahora que ya se han separado, para muchos míticos. Como digo, en 1978 comenzaban su andadura desde una vertiente de publicación de material en formato LP, y de ese debut quiero dejar hoy en el blog la canción que le dio nombre, "Kingdom Of Madness" de la que dejo un enlace a youtube.

When the night is on the run
And your dreams are almost gone
Seas of fire snatch your soul
Beasts of morning then unfold

In a whirlpool sadness creeps
Shadows walk with silent feet
Is there something in the air
Turns your hope into despair?
Despair

Oh, kingdom of madness you've got me undone
Oh, kingdom of madness you've really begun
Oh, kingdom of madness you've got me on the run

When the night is on the run
And your dreams are almost gone
Seas of fire snatch your soul
Beasts of morning then unfold

Take your hands away from me
Leave my eyes so I can see
It's not pleasure that you seek
You destroy the ones who are weak

Oh, kingdom of madness you've got me undone
Oh, kingdom of madness you've really begun
Oh, kingdom of madness you've got me on the run

The minstrel sings as he looks at me
But he doesn't make a sound
And a lovely time is had by all
As the jester plays around
Everyone's laughing
Everyone's laughing
Everyone's laughing but me

Oh, kingdom of madness you've got me undone
Oh, kingdom of madness you've really begun
Oh, kingdom of madness you've got me on the run
Oh, kingdom of madness you've got me undone
Oh, kingdom of madness you've really begun
Oh, kingdom of madness you've got me on the run
