| 1. Chasing The Dragon
The day when the sun turns into black
I leave behind my land
For I have a mission sent from god
So I set out alone, not knowing right from wrong
To fight the evil one, my heart is made out of stone
Something soars through the sky
It's the dragonfly!!!
So I run like  |

Поклоннику пауэра в реальности угодить практически не возможно. Так или иначе, но будет не доволен: много/мало клавишных, слишком тяжело/легко, много или мало прогрессива и т.п. Рамки жанра слишком узки, что бы играть нечто действительно новое и свежее. Под руководством спеца по тяжеляку Фредерика Нордстрома собралась звездная сборная металистов. И попробовали записать альбом в весьма коммерчески привлекательном жанре. Могу со всей ответственностью заявить, что получилось весьма достойно. Взяв за основу боевые гимны а-ля Rhapsody и HammerFall, группа придала определенный лоск уже, казалось бы, отработанному материалу. Ну что нового можно спеть о драконах и рыцарях? А ведь можно: если не стараться ловить неуловимых единорогов (проще говоря - не выпендриваться, играя тысячу нот в минуту и заливать все это оркестровками), то можно записать могучие «Chasing the Dragon» или просто красивейшую «The Chosen Ones». Венец альбома - чудесная баллада «Losing You». Лет -дцать назад уже только она одна вывела бы альбом и группу в тор 20 американских чартов и дала бы им как минимум «золото» за альбом. Увы, но те времена прошли. Гас Джи (особенно) вокалист Никлас Исфельдт проделали отличную работу. Фредерик - все это очень правильно и вкусно записал.
В итоге имеем не революцию жанра, но альбом (и коллектив), который все еще убеждает меня интересоваться подобной музыкой. Очень хорошо. |

Dream Evil - звездный проект, в составе которого замечены известнейший продюсер Fredrik Nordstrom, молодой гитарный талант Gus G. (Firewind, Mystic Prophecy, Nightrage), драммер Snowy Shaw (King Diamond). В общем-то, кроме наличия звездных имен, группе похвастать больше и нечем. Стандартный пауэр в духе Hammerfall, с соответствующими true-текстами. Но в отличие от большинства групп, работающих в данном направлении, музыка Dream Evil не маразматична и, в целом, удобоварима, хотя клише здесь предостаточно. В данном случае остается непонятным, стоило ли заваривать всю эту кашу, чтобы получить еще один пауэрный диск, ничем не выделяющийся из массы себе подобных. |

Не являясь большим (да и вообще хоть каким-то) поклонником power-metal, вынужден констатировать, что вот эта работа меня зацепила. Да, здесь хватает шероховатостей, вокалист не всегда уверен в своем голосе, музыканты не показывают потрясающей техники игры (впрочем, и не срываются на безграмотный тарарам), однако звучит все действительно интересно. Не бесподобная, но добросовестная работа. |

This battle I have to win
We were chasing the the dragon
We were searching everywhere
In the chase of the dragon
Let the gods lead us there
In the chase of the dragon
I sacrifice my blood, in the chase of the dragon!!!
Wizard gazes through the crystal ball
You're the chosen one
As dark clouds shade the silver light
Evil demons whisper in the night
You wil surely die!!!
But I have no fear my faith is strong
I saw my king stabbed by the beast
Straight through his heart, poisoned his blood
Living in fear, the only way, the only cure
To save our lord is to take my sword
Cross through the land and kill the beast!
2. In Flames You Burn
Oh God forbid this bloody war
I see my knights falling one by one
So here I am, in this fight I'm alone
I'm stuck here in this hellhole on my own
Taste the blood, tears of pain
Memories from the past strike through my mind
My royal blood, begins to boil
Deadly wounds can't stop me now, I still stand strong
I just can't die!!!
Surrender is no option for me now
Bless those souls I send to hell
If you dare just look into my eyes
My steel is warm my face is stained with blood
One by one I hit them to the ground
One by one I see their heads roll
Anyone against me taste my sword
Anyone who'll challenge me will die!
You, killed my men, raped my land & you ruined our lives
Still I stand in command in flames you burn!!!!
You will die by my hand forever you're condemned
Cause I am in command in flames you burn
No it's no use for u to beg, I will send u down to hell
I can't die my faith is far too strong
In flames of hell is where u belong
One by one I hit them to the ground
One by one I see their heads roll
Anyone against me taste my sword
Anyone who'll challenge me will die
3. Save Us
You are the chosen one
To battlefield you're ready to go
Sail away to the land of the damned
Survive from the dragon's claws
You're the one to save our lord
(You've got to fight! Kill 'em all!!)
There's no one else but you
Who can conquer the beast
(You've got to fight! Kill 'em all!!)
You have that speacial gift
that's given from above
You are stronger than the gods
A warrior of flesh of blood
Save us & bring back the heart
Our future lies upon your arms
Save us you know that you must
Tomorrow might never show up
You got to fight
We put our faith in you
We pray for you to win this fight
You are our only hope
Complete your task and come back alive
Sailing away, to unknown land
Now is the time, to face the demons
Tracking it down, I'm ready to fight
Sharpen my sword, to slay the dragon
4. Kingdom Of The Damned
I travelled far to reach this destination
So many fights to get redintegration
So here I am in this land that's been forgotten
It's god damned hot and the air u breathe is rotten
It's where the dragon rules the sky
It's where you wake up just to die
Where the river flows with sand
In the kingdom of the damned
If you can't cope with the pain you will surely go insane
In this God forsaken land
The kingdom of the damned
Everything is dead, it's not a living thing in sight
My skin is bunrning hot, in this supernatural sunlight
I'm not superstitious because I've seen it all
I will complete my mission for my lord
I can't wait to get out of this place
I just want to go home!
But I've got to fullfill my given task
And give life to my lord - To my king!
5. The Prophecy
Through endless forests in the night I walked alone
And there I found the prophecy carved in stone:
"To find the cure for the man who is your lord,
Use the magic sword"
So take your horse and ride it fast across the land
To find the city buried deep beneath the sand
Search for a man who can bless your heart with steel
It's the key to kill the beast
I'd give my life for my beliefs
I will stay strong against the wind
The time is right, I feel it strong
If you want the answers and you wanna know them now
You don't know where to turn cause they will bring you down
Listen to what I say and what I say is right
You see, I rule the night
You've always been left out, you're always on the run
No matter how you've tried, you never saw the sun
Come with me now and you will not regret
Got to be quick or be dead
I'd give my life for my beliefs
I will stay strong against the wind
The time is right - I feel it strong
The prophecy
Hunting the dragon - to save our king
Searching for wizards - is not an easy thing
I'd give my life for my beliefs
I will stay strong against the wind
The time is right- I feel it strong
The prophecy
That's the wrong version here is my corrected version
Through endless forests in the night I walked alone
And there I found the prophecy carved in stone:
"To find the cure for the man who is your lord,
Use the magic sword"
So take your horse and ride it fast across the land
To find the city buried deep beneath the sand
Search for a man who can bless your heart with steel
It's the key to kill the beast
The ride is long be brave and strong
You are the one
Strong as the sun!
I'd give my life for my beliefs
I will stay strong against the wind
The time is right, I feel it strong
If you want the answers and you wanna know them now
You don't know where to turn cause they will bring you down
Listen to what I say and what I say is right
You see, I rule the night
You've always been left out, you're always on the run
No matter how you've tried, you never saw the sun
Come with me now and you will not regret
Got to be quick or dead
The ride is long be brave and strong
You are the one
Strong as the sun!
I'd give my life for my beliefs
I will stay strong against the wind
The time is right - I feel it strong
The prophecy
Hunting the dragon - to save our king
Searching for wizards - it's not an easy thing
I'd give my life for my beliefs
I will stay strong against the wind
The time is right- I feel it strong
The prophecy
6. The Chosen Ones
We are the chosen ones, we sacrifice our blood
We kill for honour
We are the holy ones our armours stained with blood
We killed the dragon
In glory we return, our destination's end
We slayed the dargon!
No more living in fear it's time to raise our king.
We made it happen we're the chosen ones!
Riding through thunder and lighting once again
We slayed the beast we brought an end
Now we have left the kingdom of the damned
Heroes of the day, legends forever!
It seems to me like a journey without end
So many years, too many battles
We've finally arrived, now we're standing at the gates
Heroes of the day, legends forever
7. Losing You
In the dead of the night
As the candles die out
I'm watching her going to sleep
She has to be strong
She's left all along
I have to go out in the fields
You're all I ever wanted
And I can't go on without you
But some things come between us,
My love
Words cannot express
The sorrow I feel
I wish I could turn back time
To where we began
Where love had no end
And you and me were as one
You're all I ever wanted
There's just pain without you
Hear the angels cry in heaven, my love
I'm scared I might be losing you
And I don't know which way to turn
I fell I might be losing you
I can't live my life without your love
The sound of your breath
The smell of your hair
The touch of your golden skin
They keep me awake
Through out every night
To think of what might have been
You're all I ever wanted
You're my life and my lust
I could never mean to hurt you, my love
I have fought so many battles
I have suffered so much pain
Without you to love and hold me
All of this would be in vain
8. The 7th Day
The search is over, I'm finally there
Thousands of caves, I've been everywhere
Got nowhere to hide now
Your days are over!
You choose the weapon now
I choose the field
Let's get this straight!
Fight for your life!
Soon you will die!
Stand up and fight!
Fight for your life!
Blood everywhere, swords up the sky
Wings of the beast lie on the ground
Soon you will die!!!
Thunder and lighting, fire and storm
On the 7th day Heavy Metal was born!
Got nowhere to hide now,
Your days are over
You choose the weapon
Now I choose the field
Let's get this straight!
Fight for your life
Soon you will die
Stand up and fight
Fight for your life
Blood everywhere, swords up the sky
Wings of the beast lie on the ground
Soon you will die!!!
Took my sword up
And opened the dragon's chest
I ripped its heart out, gave it eternal rest
The power strikes through me,
Your days are over
You choose your weapon now
I choose the field
Let's get this straight!
Blood everywhere, swords up the sky
Wings of the beast lie on the ground
Soon you will die!!!
Reflecting steel, cuts through the flesh
It shows its fear, death is in the air!!!
9. Heavy Metal In The Night
I'm gonna fight, in the Metal night
My guardian angel is my sword
I hear the call, I see the light
I'm gonna give my life for my lord
The quest is long and the end is near
I sail away in seas of doom
My shield is strong and I got no fear
I'm gonna face the enemy soon
The night is cold and the air is clear
The enemy could be anywhere (beware)
The serpent's eyes enlarge with fear
It's all about for those who dare
Thunder! Lighting! Fighting! Heavy Metal in the night!
Monsters! Dying! By axes! Bleeding in the burning light!
Face to face with an army from hell
A sudden flash the battle is on
So swing the axe and cast the spell
Kill or be killed - dead and gone
The taste of Metal is the taste of blood
The enemies have got their reward
We buried them in seas of mud
They've felt the rage of my sword
The night is cold and the air is clear
The enemy could be anywhere (beware)
The serpent's eyes enlarge with fear
It's all about for those who dare
Thunder! Lighting! Fighting! Heavy Metal in the night!
Monsters! Dying! By axes! Bleeding in the burning light!
Die, die, die, killing in the dead of night!!!
Thunder! Lighting! Fighting! Heavy Metal in the night!
Monsters! Dying! By axes! Bleeding in the burning light!
10. H.M.J.
On my way to kill the beast
I met a holy man from the east
His name was Jesus & he was son of man
He warned me about the danger ahead
He was godsend, he was gonna bring the Metal back
And take away the sins that people did in the past
He came down here to change our lives
He said to me while he looked me in the eyes
"I'm the Heavy Metal Jesus!
I'm the Heavy Metal thunderstriking Jesus"
He said, "if you wanna kill the beast
You gotta be blessed from the man from the east
So why don't you get down on your knee
And I will bless you with my Flying V?"
11. Hail To The King
I travelled through land, Through fire and pain with you
Together we fight, forever united my friend
We are bound by blood, we are brothers in arms
With thunder we ride with lighting we strike
United invincible force
Hail now hail to the king
With thunder and lighting we strike
Hail now hail to the king
We show them no mercy at all
I remember the time, when all you could feel was hate
You were poisoned with fear
And you lost everything that you loved
I reached out my hand, I taught you to fight like a man
With thunder we ride, with lighting we strike
United invincible force
I sacrifice my blood for you
I will always be by your side
Together we will never fail
So rise your sword in glory
