 Когда увидел обложку диска, сразу понял что это павер. Обложка в геройски- фантазийном стиле, хорошо и детально прорисованная. Приступивши к прослушиванию был очень приятно удивлен - быстрая и энергичная музыка с клавишными в духе Рапсодии, но без излишеств, с многочисленными переходами с быстрого на медленное и наоборот, красивыми и запоминающимися мелодиями. Отдельного упоминания заслуживает вокалист - он поет очень красиво, душевно и разнообразно. Очень редкий случай когда я, поклонник тру-павера, с удовльствием слушаю медленные моменты. Да, есть медляк. Медляки - это очень распространенная ошибка металлических групп, все хотят написать нечто эдакое… но удается ЭТО очень не многим и именно медляки часто портят впечатление о группе и о альбоме. С Holy Knights это не так, это один очень редкий случай, когда мне медляк понравился и я даже на годовщину своего знакомства с женой под него станцевал медленный танец. Лирика чисто героическая, в духе жанра. Запись образцовая. Слушаешь диск и… начинаешь верить во все то, о чем там поется, переносишься в эпоху рыцарей и драконов... и хочется совершить какой-то подвиг, кого-то освободить, покорить, или просто творить добро и справедливость.
С нетерпением жду выхода нового альбома, всем поклонникам павера, мелодик павера и просто красивой музыки рекомендую! |

A wild and brave man rides sad and alone
He'll fly up one day to a new life
He does not when his value will rides around the world
Your destiny you must to find
So chase the dragons to fear no immortal man
Your fate is sealed you've got to find it
Ride to places where nobody's been before
Why...? I...?
[Chorus:]
Percival, Sir Percival, you're the world master Percival, Sir Percival, immortal knight
You are the only warrior, brave and valiant
Grasp your sword, be the only, forget the pain...
Driven south to the land of the snow and ice
You feel so tired, you feel so drained
You must gain your end fighting for your land You've wasted your youngness and your life for a holy quest...
Why...? I...?
[Chorus:]
Percival, Sir Percival, you're the world master Percival, Sir Percival, immortal knight
You are the only warrior, brave and valiant
Grasp your sword, be the only, forget the pain...
Percival, Sir Percival...
Percival, Sir Percival...
You are the only warrior...
Grasp your sword, be the only...
3. Lord Of Nightmares
There's a dream that troubles my mind tonight
A vision of what will be happening?
I'm tryng to hold the fear in me
That this dream 'comes reality!
I pray the Godhead for my soul
Am I loosing the way of faith?I can't just deny all those dreams
That warp my mind anyway.
Dark shadows are imprisoning me
They're bringing me to hell in suffer and pain
How many damned burn in the flames
They're screaming and twisting in demons land.
[Rit:]
Welcome to hell; now your soul is mine
I can't escape from those gloomy voices
Welcome to hell pray for your new lord
I don't want to be slave to your evil power.
Why is this happening to me again?
I spent all my life for peace
My land will not fall in blood
I'll fight against the evil coming.
The lord of my nightmares is really here
With this horde of demon that are flying to me
Oh please my God guide my horse
I'll grasp my sword, I'll pray for my soul.
[Rit:]
Now it's time to fight; I will take your soul
I woun't be defeated; I'll fight my holy war
Don't dare to contrast the lord
My God is the only one, I'll gave him my soul.
Now my battle is finally won
My hard mission is at the end
A new page of legend now is written
My name will remember this
I'm riding my horse through my holy land
Wherever the peace forever will reign
I hold my hand high to the sky
I hearing the angeles, now I can die
[Rit:]
Mighty warrior, live your life for peace
I feel like reborn to another life
Mighty warrior, spend your time for me
Is really the ending of nightmares lord dreams
Mighty warrior, are you ready to see?
A great shining angel is coming to me
Mighty warrior, your soul is flying to me
He's brought me to heaven beyond I'll see...!
4. The Revival Of The Black Demon
The warmth of an eternal sleep, of an intrepid horseman,
Makes mystical and magic the legend which tells his exploit.
Once when peace and love reigned together,
A legend tells that a black demon rose again from a charm,
That forced him to fall in damned abyss,
To come back and reign in eternal chaos!
Only the most valorous knight coming from the past
To a new life, will fight once again
The demon and cast him into hell.
5. Gate Through The Past
In a waste land once beauty and spell
A demon, sovereign from hell.
He's coming to be a new fearful king
In the name of the sins he will be.
His dark power reigns over all the lands,
Suffer and pain once again
Rivers of blood fire and steel Chaos forever will be?
The scream of the soul are calling the lord
From the sky to the land to take revenge
A thunder in the air a new judgement day
The good and evil fight again.
Mystical knight what have you done to win your fear...
Alone above echoes of sword come near... but you...
You hear the howls of your child, so face the real.
A gate through the past, your fighting spirit comes here.
A new war begins, the clash of two kings
The echoes of war ride the wind
The good on one hand, the evil on the other
Neverending bloodshed on the lands.
Mystical knight what have you done to win your fear...
Alone above echoes of sword come near... but you...
You hear the howls of your child, so face the real.
A gate through the past, your fighting spirit comes here.
The fight's at the end the good wins again
The demon will fall into the hell
Wherever the peace and love will be killed
The knights will revive from their sleep.
Mystical knight what have you done to win your fear...
Alone above echoes of sword come near... but you...
You hear the howls of your child, so face the real.
A gate through the past, your fighting spirit comes here.
6. Love Against The Power Of Evil
Proud on the horse blindig in his shining suite of armour
The night came back victorius from the dangerous battle
An adverse fate expected him while he was coming back to the castle
When he arrived there the first rays of the star lighted the castle
But no ray could wake his beloved 'cause victim of a spell
Of the evil witch coming from the land of dark valley
[Rit:]
Go warlike in love -
Run to find the antidote before it's too late
Go warlike in love -
By your bravery results her terrible fate
Go winner warlike -
Your winged horse knows of the unhappy mischance
Go triunphant warlike -
Cross marshes, destroy the mystical spell
Now you have found the magic draught come back she is waiting for suffering
Remember to stay far from the black and dark valley
The enchanted lake could be the only refreshment place
And the night goes down and runs around the angelic nights creatures
Now your trip is at the end your beloved you've saved ones more
And her eyes lights up with a sweet smile of a shining sun
Go warlike in love -
Run to find the antidote before it's too late
Go warlike in love -
By your bravery results her terrible fate
Go winner warlike -
Your winged horse knows of the unhappy mischance
Go triunphant warlike -
Cross marshes, destroy the mystical spell

8. Quest Of Heroes (Part 1)
Just here stand all the valorous tonight
Sitting all around a magic table round
Brave men comes to Arthur's court
Hoping to be chosen as members court
They're telling about their trips and adventures
Revelation of force bravery and honour
Brave men had fighted face to face
But no one will see a new dawn of peace
Only the chosen one will find the Holy Grail
Only misery and pain for who will fail
Only the chosen one will find the Holy Grail
No one will come back to sit at the round table again
9. Quest Of Heroes (Part 2)
Passions and villainous at court
The fellowship of the round table declined
And in the long run was destroyed.
Passion now inside Camelot has destroyed the bounds,
The respect of peace and friendship
That once united all the kings;
The secret story of a princess lover has begun to show
While over the sea the evil king is coming in for the kill;
The mighty sword, the peace defender,
Must be grasped once more
But his flashing blade will be kept again by the lady of the lake;
A villainous action led to the final destruction
Like a sad tragedy the war begins flowing blood on the hills.
They once told about their trips and adventures
Revelation of force bravery and honour
Brave men had fighted face to face
But no one will see a new dawn of peace.
Only the chosen one will find the Holy Grail
Only misery and pain for those who fail
Only the chosen one will find the Holy Grail
No one will come back to sit at the round table
10. The Promise
He was called salvation
Of his land and his inhabitants
But the cruel king Haaron
Abducted his wife to spur him
He'll have to confront a bloody fight...
On his breast he brought his knight's cross
Now it's time to unsheate your sword
On your house all your courage
Now become angel of bloody death
You're the one so don't draw back..
Fear in your mmd
Like an eagle you're hunter no win
Nevermore you'll ride away.. oh.
Fear in your mind
Like an eagle you're hunter no win
Nevermore you'll ride away.. oh...
"What a cruel dest¬ny to save my love
And it seems like my mind
running around a strange light.
So I'll live forever
I hope together
With my always shining star".
Now you're back, but what happened here
"Cruel king hasty homicide"!
Unsheathing your sword against god-cross
You sentenced to death of your humanity
Warrior of darkness you'1l die!
Fear in your mind
Like an eagle you're hunter no win
Nevermore you'll ride away. . oh...
Fear in your mmd
Like an eagle you're hunter no win
Nevermore you'll ride away.. oh..
11. Under The Light Of The Moon
Strange lights over the hills tonight
So many knights into the campfire
Smell of acrid smoke on the air
Men are just out of scare for their fate.
All around screech¬ng of blades
Knights riding with their torche flames
The lady of death, the only winner tomorrow
How many men will survive to her sorrow.
Now the battle is coming soon
The war is behind you, fight to be free!
Fight under the light of the moon
Now the battle is coming soon
The war is behind you, fight to be free!
Fight under the light of the moon.
Axes grind clashing with swords blade
On the ground mutilated bloody corpses
Screams of pain over the hill
There's no turning back you must kill.
Now the battle is coming soon
The war is behind you, fight to be free!
Fight under the light of the moon
Now the battle is coming soon
The war is behind you, fight to be free!
Fight under the light of the moon.
