"Así pues llegó solo a las puertas de Angband, e hizo sonar su cuerno, y golpeó una vez más las puertas de bronce, y desafió a Morgoth a un combate singular".
"Y Morgoth salió".
Tolkien - El Silmarillion
Bueno, lo reconozco desde ya, Blind Guardian es mi grupo preferido desde hace ya unos años.
Bueno, para empezar fue una de las primeras bandas de power metal que escuché junto a Rhapsody of Fire, aunque al principio no me gustó especialmente, después de dos años cuando escuché "Bright Eyes" fue cuando me vicié.
Pero el principal motivo es la epiquicidad
(lol, si hay camisetas y todo)
Pero sin duda, la obra maestra de BG está basada en el Silmarillion del todopoderoso escritor Tolkien. Todo hay que decirlo, el Silmarillion como libro de fantasía épica está muy bien, pero hay que tener estómago para leerlo, porque es como una "Biblia de la Tierra Media". Básicamente son las notas del señor Tolkien reunidas bajo una portada.
No era fácil, pero Blind Guardian consiguió editar su "Nightfall in the Middle Earth" basándose en "ese puñado de notas".
(La mayor obra maestra musical creada por la humanidad)
La canción en cuestión "Time Stands Still at the Iron Hill" trata de la batalla entre Fingolfin y Morgoth a las puertas de la fortaleza oscura "Angband", cuyo preludio os puse al principio del post.
Si queréis saber como acaba tendréis que escuchar la canción.
Fantástica forma de empezar un concierto eh?
Light fails at dawn
the moon is gone
and deadly the night reigns
Deceit
Finally i've found myself
in these lands
horror and madness i've seen here
for what i became a king of the lost?
barren and lifeless the land lies
Bridge:
lord of all noldor
a star in the night
and a bearer of hope
he rides into his glorious battle alone
farewell to the valiant warlord
Chorus (repeat 2x):
the fate of us all
lies deep in the dark
when time stands still at the iron hill
I stand alone
noone's by my side
i'll dare you
come out
you coward
now it's me or you
He gleams like a star
and the sound of his horn's
like a raging storm
proudly the high lord
challenges the doom
lord of slaves he cries
Slowly in fear
the dark lord appears
welcome to my lands
you shall be damned
Bridge
Chorus
The iron crowned
is getting closer
swings his hammer
down on him
like a thunderstorm
he's crushing
down the noldor's
proudest king
Under my foot
so hopeless it seems
you've troubled my day
now feel the pain
Bridge
Chorus
The elvenking's broken
he stumbles and falls
the most proud and most valiant
his spirit survives
praise our king
praise our king
praise our king
praise our king
the moon is gone
and deadly the night reigns
Deceit
Finally i've found myself
