the ravens

• bathory'nin "blood on ice" albümünde yer alan mükemmel parça.
  
  the ravens
  
  steadily on jagged wings
  feather black against the burning sky
  spread your wings and ride the wind
  gaze down on me with blackest eyes.
  
  fly my ravens, fly ahead.
  over the mountains and endless sky
  fly my ravens, fly ahead
  over the mountains over my head.
  let the wind carry you up high.
  
  fly my ravens, it's time to fly,
  and for me maybe to die.
  
  valley of death in the land of no return...
  the moment of glory or death...
• oldukça kısa olmasına rağmen saatlerce dinleyip, sigara üstüne sigara yakmanıza sebep olabilecek kadar hüzünlü bir şarkı.. sonlara doğru kuzgun sesleri falan duyuluyo arkada bide...
• tristania'nın illumination albümünün 4. parçası.

  only ashes and bones remain
  my hair is wet, my eyes are sore
  
  the past has been fed to the flames
  i cannot breathe any more
  
  i try to stand on my feet, but i fall
  i try to walk, but i crawl
  live as we knew it is over, and you are gone
  
  forever gone
  
  i will not bend
  to our cross
  i will not kneel
  at your feet
  
  greed and anger
  made us younger
  couldn't save us when the tower fell
  
  all my strength and
  all my hunger
  all is lost and none will live to tell
  
  in the ruins of days gone by
  a young affection, a velvet sky
  a slave to greed
  
  i do not feel regret anymore
  i sense a presence of birds
  encircling me
  and i am gone
  
  forever gone
  
  i will not bend
  to our cross
  i will not kneel
  at your feet
  
  greed and anger
  made us younger
  couldn't save us when the tower fell
  
  all my strength and
  all my hunger
  all is lost and none will live to tell
  
  do you study me?
  
  dark
  in the night
  dead
  in the moon
  
  i will not kneel
  i will not kneel
  
  i would rather die facing my doom
  
  i will not kneel
  i will not kneel
