[Ladonna]

Tears of the Grim Reaper

 

Like liquid silk I’m draped the night

I lie in waiting

No-one has seen me but all know me by sight

I’m always waking

Never too soon but when time is right

I rise unfailing

Never too late with scythe and blight

I reap unbreaking

 

My fleshless hands, my mirror eyes

When life’s receding

My blackened wings shall seize the skies

And cease the living

I count down breaths, I still their cries

Deaf to their pleading

Kings or beggars, young or wise

To all I’m heeding

 

Since life was born I have been there

Souls to be fowling

Until time’s end no-one I’ll spare

No rest, no stalling

Forevermore lone, ever aware

Of my only calling

My dear god, how is this fair

To live in prowling

 

Father of all, the horrors I’ve seen

I go on reaping

My god, what pain you make me seed

I reap unblinking

Like my scythe, my heart’s of steel

It lies unbeating

And my touch is ice, yet I still bleed

Damn you I’m bleeding

 

 

The headless horseman

 

verse 1

through thick veils of darkness and mist

once more the black horse shall appear

the thunderous galloping the deafening neigh

carrying the master of nightmare and fear

 

dark

dark

I heard them to say

dark

dark

the lore of the peasants

and as I listen with irony I grin

how quick and how foolish my judgement had been

dark

dark

the darkness of ignorance

dark

dark

the smile that has killed me

fearless I laughed and fearful I'd end

how useless it was my belated repent

 

off with his head

 

verse 2

bewitched the great slaughter's returning

from an earth that remains for long haunted

freed from the world of the fleshless

condemned to be hunter and hunted

 

dark

dark

I walk in the forest

dark

dark

the dark of revenge

traveller ,stranger don't pass from this land

I run in the forest and there's nowhere to stand

dark

dark

it's like a mirage

dark

dark

a last prayer to god

no god to protect you, no prayer to tell

no one can save you for the calling of hell

 

off with his head

 

verse 3

nowhere to hide, Death has arrived

to carve his name on your neck with hot steel

till you pay with blood for this desecration

this soul will not rest , this grave will not seal

 

dark

dark

merciless closing

dark

dark

cold sweat on my face

the gleam of the metal beneath the full moon

the severe, flashing pain preceding my doom

dark

dark

the darkness of Death

dark

dark

lord forgive all my sins

by the first morning light everybody will know

that the swordsman has made me a part of the lore

 

 

Fidei Defensor

(Defender of the faith)

 

Verse 1

While laying on the gory earth

Smelling the fragrances of death

Dry blood and bitterness fills my throat

Along with faith and steel I fought

I'm still alive but for how long?

I set off to win but I was wrong

 

Verse 2

Lusting for victory, I’ve been brave

Though my corpse will know no grave

No mourning candles and no bless

Vultures shall feast with my flesh

But I won't cry for myself, it's tame

My tears for those who wait in vain

 

Bridge

And I left you behind

And you promised to wait

I left you behind

And as I slowly drain

My tears hurt more than the wounds on my body

And you're saying a prayer

That shall be answered never

You’re saying a prayer

Will you pray forever?

And I can't stand the pain that is mauling your heart

 

Chorus

A soporific wind is now blowing

And I yield to a sleep with no dreams

 

Verse 3

While laying on the gory earth......

 

verse 4

All I believed in was a lie

My fellow fighters are laying by

Now all I think of: my only truth

The fellow sinner of my youth

I won't cry for myself, it's tame

My tears for her who waits in vain

 

Bridge

And I see your reflection

On a kaleidoscope sky

And i see your reflection

As I slowly die

I vowed my return but I’m letting you down

And you're saying a prayer

Will you pray forever?

You’re saying a prayer

That shall be answered never!

And I can't stand the pain that is mauling your heart

 

Chorus

A soporific wind is now blowing

And I yield to a sleep with no dreams

Σίγουρα τα στιχάκια αυτά πηγαίνουν σε τραγούδια, μόνο πως λείπει η μουσική.

 

Το πρώτο το φαντάζομαι να έχει διφωνία, δλδ τον ένα στίχο θα τον τραγουδάει κάποιος πλατιάζοντας, ενώ ο δεύτερος θα μπαίνει κοφτός.

 

Το δεύτερο μου φέρνει τρελά στο μυαλό τους The witchery, σουιδικό συγκρότημα με εμμονή το θάνατο και speed/heavy metal μουσική. Ειδικά οι επαναλήψεις του dark στο ρεφραίν είναι αδύνατο να μη θυμίσουν κλασικό βρετανικό heavy

 

Το τρίτο δε μπορώ να το προσδιορίσω μουσικά. Οι στροφές μου φαίνονται ότι θα τραγουδιούνται αργά και με στόμφο, ενώ οι γέφυρες θα είναι μελωδικές και θλιμένες, μπαλαντοειδείς μάλλον. Το δε chorus μάλλον θα έχει είτε ψηλά φωνητικά είτε χωρωδία με γυναικεία φωνητικά

 

Οι στίχοι αρκετά καλοί, αν και σε σημεία κάνουν νερά (τώρα μη μου ζητάς όμως να τα ψάξω να τα βρω)
