Voici donc les paroles des chansons de cet EXCELLENT album du
groupe CATHEDRAL. Ce groupe est le digne descendant du mythique
BLACK SABBATH (certains doivent connaître, je pense...).
Les chansons, comme vous allez le voir, sont assez "heroïc
fantasy" (je me suis laissé dire que ce type de hard rock
s'appellait DOOM... Si quelqu'un a des infos...), bien écrites
(Harraps ou Robert & Colins conseillés)... Quant à la musique,
rien à redire : c'est à la fois speed et calme, cela varie pas mal
dans les chansons... Enfin, je vous le conseille : c'est très bien !
Bon assez de bavardages, je vous laisse en compagnie de Cathedral.
CATHEDRAL is :
1) VAMPIRE SUN [Jennings/Dorrian/Carlson]
Skull of god with the devil's eyes
Crowned in fire sodden sky
Beaming rays of genocide
Into virtues magic lie
Illusive myth of light enslaves you
Vampire sun it drains you
Beg the sword for liberty
Fall before the king of flies
Delirium is flowing free
In our oredience disease
The gift of life is reaped of value
Vampire sun it drains you
Gaze into the face of fire
Dreams descend into the pyre
Monolithic angel
Unveil your king to this planet disabled
Mummify the cosmos
With the vision of divinity yeah !
Electric vulture flying high
Through the universal eye
To cleance the heavens with earth's soul
The excretion of mankind
Feeding from the fangs of virtue
Vampire sun it drains you
Gaze into the face of fire
Dreams descend into the pyre
2) HOPKINS (the Witchfinder general) [Jennings/Dorrian]
She rides to the sabbath
Veiled under silver light
To make love to the devil
Necromancer of nyte
Within the mystic forest
She sets your world alight
Her coven conjure the demons
Herald the sacrifice yeah !
Lucifera Vampirella
She bares the mark of the devil
Queen of the witches
Her kingdom is your hell
Black masses in the convent
Priests under her spell
The crops have withered
The sky bends upside down
Her name is Lucifera
The mutant preachers yell - yeah !
Lucifera Vampirella
She bares the mark of the devil
My name is Hopkins
I'm the witchfinder general
My impotence deceives me
Your beauty turns me pale
Winds haunt the village
Satans ghost awakes
The world falls into darkness
As she melts at the stake yeah !
Matthew Hopkins witchfinder general
Your soul condemned to hell
3) UTOPIAN BLASTER [Jennings/Dorrian]
(additional guitar : Tony Iommi/Black Sabbath)
Today the sun refused to shine
On this war infested land
Beyond our sky, the Lord of life
Sending crossbones tumbling down
Citadel on a travelling stone
Magic wisdom our only home
As flesh imposters fight the master
Of forces to them unknown yeah !
Blinded by the power
Lifespell castor
Utopian blaster
Peace your master now !
Sculptured space in plastic hands
Evil empire of mankind
Blazing light from the sword of mars
Shall destroy this utopian farce
Giant mass of the children high
Sleeping on beds of air
Limitations we've unbound
Come and join us we'll take you there - yeah !
Struck ever after
Lifespell castor
Utopian blaster
Peace your master now !
Legend of earth after
Sleep in dusted grace
Time has ceased our fortune shall begin
Bathe in fountains of laughter
Cleansed by endtime rapture
Embrace the final dawn
Fatal glow - sirens in the wind
Conquest oh we shall capture yeah !
We race upon the unicorn
To a land of towers green
While soldiers march into the void
Guided by mans funeral hand
Golden souls riding on the wind
From the path of nature sinned
Cosmic army military
Our weapons be only love - yeah !
Struck by the power
Lifespell castor
Utopian blaster
Face your master now !
4) NIGHT OF THE SEAGULLS [Carlson/Dorrian/Jennings]
We are the blind dead
No eyes inside our head
Our senses lead us to your nightmare
Centuries of death we wear
Pharoah's cross in dust we bare
Immortal horses slowly ride us to you
Through the black mist
They ride
Knights templar - arise
The shores unearthly dead
Mournful mothers chilled with dread
Leave their offspring to knights templar
They rise from the sea
At midnight the prize you see
Tied to the post - a virgin screaming
Through the black mist
They ride
Knights templar - arise -oh ! ! !
Into our castle led
Seagulls howling overhead
The ritual you face
You shall no after
Your blood we drink for eternity
Flesh unto the crabs we leave
And feed your heart unto
Aquarian master
Through the black mist
They ride
Knights templar - arise
Bon, j'arrête là pour aujourd'hui : la suite au prochain numéro.
Je profite de cette rubrique pour vous conseiller un suberbe CD du
groupe Black Sabbath : TYR. Les paroles sont excellentes, très
"poétiques" avec de belles mélodies. Toutefois, cela reste bien du
Black Sabbath, donc du hard rock. Vraiment très bon...
