| And Then There Was Silence
Turn your head and see the fields of flames
He carries along
from a distant place
He`s on his way
he'll bring decay
(don't move along
cause things they will go wrong
the end is getting closer
day by day)
In shades of gray
We`re doomed to face the nig |

Похоже, что после огромного успеха "Nightfall In Middle-Earth", ребята немного обленились. После трёх лет затишья они возвращаются с синглом, на котором присутствуют два новых трэка и видео "Born In A Morning Hall". Заглавная вещь And Then There Was Silence, довольно необычна для Blind Guardian. Во-первых она длится 14 минут. Считай самая длинная композиция у этой группы за всю её историю. В музыкальном плане песня выполнена в стиле альбома Nightfall In Middle-Earth, среднетемповая, и ей явно не достаёт скорости, которая являлась освновным аттрибутом Блайндов. Вторая композиция, "Harvest of Sorrow" - баллада, которая была написана ещё во время записи "Nightfall In Middle-Earth". Голос Ханси с каждым альбомом становится всё лучше, Томен стучит отлично, но немного вяло (пожалуй на "Imaginations From The Other Side" он превзошёл самого себя), ну только гитарные партии Андре и Маркуса остались без изменений. Записан альбом безупречно. Блайнды явно изменили свой стиль о пауэр-спида к более мелодичному пауэру. Но может это только к лучшему? Не исключено что в феврале 2002 года мы услышим очередной шедевр. Будем ждать! |

Тяжело оценивать сингл, но на мой взглял блайнды не ударили в грязь лицом. Явно просматривается движение музыки группы к progressive-metal, начавшееся, впрочем, еще в 1998 на NITME. В связи с этим, структура песен становится все сложнее, сами композиции длиннее. За прошедшие три года блайнды выросли и музыка их стала более зрелой. Еще больше мелодии, еще больше масштабности. С надеждой жду нового альбома. |

Light`s out of sight
Since we`ve reached the point of no return
We pray for starlight
We wait for the moon
The sky is empty
alone in the unknown
We`re getting nowhere
We have been betrayed by the wind and the rain
The sacred hall's empty and cold
The sacrifice made should not be done in vain
Revenge will be taken by Rome
We live a lie under the dying moon
Pale face laughs doom
Indulge us in delight
It`s getting out of hand
The final curtain will fall
Hear my voice
There is no choice
There`s no way out
You`ll find out
We don`t regret it
So many men have failed
but now he's gone
Go out and get it
The madman's head it shall be thyne
We don`t regret it
But someone else dies hidden in disguise
Go out and get it
Orion`s hound shines bright
Don`t you think it`s time to stop
The chase round the ring
Just a stop running, running
Round the ring
Don`t you know that fate has been decided
By the gods
Feel the distance
Distance
Out of reach
Welcome to the end
Watch your step Cassandra
You may fall
As I`ve stumbled on the field
Sister mine
Find myself in darkest places
Find myself drifting away
And the other world
The other world appears
Find myself she dies in vain
I cannot be freed
I`m falling down
As time runs faster
Moves towards disaster
The ferryman will wait for you my dear
AND THEN THERE WAS SILENCE
Just a voice from the other world
Like a leaf in an icy world
Memories will fade
Chorus:
Misty tales and poems lost
All the bliss and beauty will be gone
Will my weary soul find release for a while
At the moment of Death I will smile
It`s the triumph of shame and disease
In the end
Iliad
Raise my hands and praise the day
Break the spell, show me the way
In decay
The flame of Troy will shine bright
The newborn child would carry ruin to the hall
The newborn's death will be a blessing to us all
Good choice?
Bad choice?
Out of three
You`ve chosen misery
Power and wisdom
You deny
Bad choice
War is the only answer
When love will conquer fear
So when the judgment`s been made
To the fairest the graceful says
Badly he fails
Warning
Feel the heat of passion, father king
don`t let him in, don`t let her in
Desire, lust, obsession
Death they`ll bring
We can`t get out once they are in
She`s like the sunrise
Outshines the moon at night
Precious like starlight
She`ll bring in a murderous price
In darkness grows the seed of man's defeat
JEALOUSY!
I can clearly see the end now!
I can clearly see the end now!
I can clearly see the end now!
The thread of life is spun
The coin`s been placed below my tongue
Never give up!
Never give in!
Be on our side
so we can win!
Never give up!
Never give in!
Be on our side!
Old moon's time is soon to come
Nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide
Nothing to lose
like one we'll stand
We`ll face the storm created by a man
Troy Troy Troy Troy
And as the lion slaughters man
I am the wolf and you`re the lamb
Hallowed Troy shall fall!
Round the walls
Faith is shattered bodies fall
Nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide
Nothing to lose
like one we'll stand
It`s all for one and one for all
We live for will be wiped out
I feel that something`s wrong
Surprise, surprise they`re gone
Full moon your time goes by
And new moon's still kept out of sight
We live we die (while chorus starts)
Chorus
Roam in darkness (many times)
Spread the vision
We will be lost if you truly believe
Troy in Darkness
There's a cold emptyness in our hearts
That they've gone away
And won't come back
They'll tear down the wall to bring it in
They`ll truly believe in the lie
With blossoms they welcome the old foe!
The vision`s so clear
When day and dream unite
the end is near
You better be prepared
The nightmare shall be over now
there`s nothing more to fear
Come join in our singing
and dance with us now
The nightmare shall be over now
there`s nothing more to fear
The war it is over forever more
No hope
the blind leads the blind
Carry on
though future's denied
Mare or stallion
there's far more inside
We`re in at the kill
we'll cheerfully die
Chorus
Its Holy light shines on
So the judgment`s been made
We're condemned though the trial's far ahead
The crack of doom, father
Your handsome son is heading home
Heading home
Still the wind blows
Calm and silent
Carries news from a distant shore
Out of mind
Can't get it
Can't get it out of my mind
Sorrow and defeat
Sorrow and defeat
Harvest of Sorrow
She is gone
Leaves are falling down
The tear maiden will not return
The seal of oblivion is broken
And a pure love's been turned into sin
At the dawn of our living time
Hope may cover all cries
Truth lurks hidden in the shadows
Dreams might be filled with lies
Soon there will be light
Pain remains inside
Suddenly it seemed so clear
All the blindness was taken away
She closed her eyes
And she called out my name
She was never ever seen again
Chorus:
Harvest of Sorrow
Your seed is grown
In a frozen world full of cries
When the ray of life shrinks
Shall cold winter nights begin
She is gone
And I fall from grace
No healing charm covers my wounds
Fooled's the dawn
And so am I
Fooled by life and a bitter doom
To bring you the end of the day
At the dawn of our living time
Hope it soon will pass by
Facing a darkness
I stand alone
