Armageddon - Armageddon (1975) Lyrics, letras de los temas. + [disco en .flac]






thanks to the official armageddon group in facebook.





Señores llegó ese gran día ya tengo las letras de los temas, no estaban en la red y daba la casualidad de que en mi elepé no venía con la funda interior que traía las letras de los temas pero hablando con gente que tiene el disco han subido los temas a una pagina que se llama lyric wikia y ya los tenemos por fin. Respecto a la letra nada que no hubiera dicho antes, es un disco conceptual que trata sobre "el armageddon" del que tanto se hablaba en 1975 ya fuera por la guerra fría o por que coincidía con e año del armageddon bíblico pero sin embargo las letras del album la mayoría son más bien metafóricas, puede que para algunos sea un album semi-conceptual porque habla también del rock n roll, de los amigos perdidos y incluso temática romantica pero si te fijas todo es metafóricamente como una despedida ante la inminente destrucción. Habla también del poder, el ego, el orgullo, cosas que caracterizan a los hombres y que esta vez en ese momento de la historia se estaban poniendo a prueba más que nunca con el inminente peligro de la guerra nuclear al acecho. En verdad como en Watchmen, es un disco bastante emotivo por eso es de mis favoritos.

También os traigo el album en formato flac de alta calidad en la misma carpeta que las demas grabaciones en mp3: ↯↯↯↯↯

os recomiendo visitar -the official armageddon group en facebook- se que esa plataforma es mierda pero el grupo merece la pena


[Escritos a lo largo 1974, grabados en Octubre de 1974, publicados en Mayo de 1975]

Buzzard

Riding high on burnished wings

And with a brazen eye

The buzzard waits to take its pick

Waiting on that helpless cry
In the time it takes
The moment that you're right off guard
Bridges that you thought you'd crossed
Got to cross 'em all again

Just as lightning strikes
Before the thunder
The buzzard falls upon its prey
Before it has a chance to wonder
But the meek will stand
Understanding nature
Seeing far beyond the plan
Take their place in time
Take their place in timeless structure

Out, out of the dark surrounding shadows
Tearing apart – trying to get to me
Sometimes you'll see, sometimes you'll feel
Colder than steel, instantly real

Burn, burning with fire, from the depths of time
Enter my space to take my grace from me
Slither and slide, ready to hide
Far down inside – waiting with pride

Silver Tightrope
I close my eyes to worldly skies
I leave behind the day
And deep within me, I shall begin
To chase my thoughts away
As loved ones hold me to their sides
Their strength flows into me
To cast me out of sorrow's blindness
Into eternity

I thought I heard them softly calling
The voices of the spheres
As light years flash forever falling
Away from waking fears
I reach out, try to touch the passing
Of beings bathed in light
But they just smile, their eyes not asking
To see beyond their sight

Ooh silver tightrope
Ooh silver tightrope
Ooh silver tightrope

I thought I saw the candle-bearers
On their way to the beyond
Beckon to me from the future
To come and join the throng
I stepped upon the silver tightrope
Balancing beliefs
And wings unfurling with a new hope
I left behind my griefs

Ooh silver tightrope
Ooh silver tightrope
Ooh silver tightrope
Ooh silver tightrope
Ooh silver tightrope
Ooh silver tightrope

Ooh silver tightrope
Ooh silver tightrope
Ooh silver tightrope
Ooh silver tightrope
Ooh silver tightrope
Ooh silver tightrope

Paths And Planes And Future Gains
Silver trumpets call
Herald shining armour
Armour so bright
That the blind will fall

Standing face to face
Eye to eye with no one
Falling sometimes
Never letting go

And the awesome foe
Waits in darkened corners
Fearing all light
Fearing sacred sight

Shining chariots
Bearing sacred souls
Ride the surface
Of the deepest holes

Calling on my forces
Witnessing the source
Stand and face the moment
Waiting on its course
Standing on the mountain
Valley all in cloud

See another mountain
Calling from the shroud
Paths that wander nowhere
Wasting precious time
Witnessing the forces
Calling on the source

Reaching out for something
Knowing that it's there
I face the precious moments
Holding if I dare
Standing on the mountain
Valley all in cloud
See another mountain
Calling from the shroud

Last Stand Before
Jumping Jack flash in the pan
Took a look and ran
Wanna buy tomorrow
Gonna leave it locked in the can

Lucy's out falling about
Trying to find her man
Sold her rings, all her things
Sell herself if she can
I know she will

Henry's eyes tell no lies
Thinks he's got it made
Super cool, he's no fool
Nothing makes him afraid
But the darkness

On the phone no one's home
Always out on the town
On the streets, dragging their feet
I've gotta find a place to lay down
From the night-time

Lost a friend
Met his end way before his time
Tried it once, tried it twice
Didn't notice the signs

Rock and roll, moving your soul
Took a few as well
On the line, out of time
Shooting stars that all fell

Oh Lord, do something, gotta slow it down
It's coming on too fast, can't take it
Feel like I'm gonna drown

Gonna stand and face it, but I need you near
Through the darkest hours, I'm calling
Sometimes I think you don't hear me calling
Hear me calling

My brother's falling, I'll catch him if I can
My brother's falling, I'll catch him if I can
My brother's falling, I'll catch him if I can
I see him falling, join him in his last stand

All the questions and all the lies
Will soon be answered to your surprise
All the doubting and all the tears
Will fall to ashes across the years

Basking In The White Of The Midnight Sun

a) Warning Comin' On

(instrumental)


b) Basking in the White of the Midnight Sun

Sitting on a lonesome beach
Holding shadow in one hand
Of a lovely flame I once called mine
On a patch of blazing white sand
Oh, princess, do you have to be so bold
I've read those signs that line your road before

But it's too bad you had to go away
Gone tomorrow, but I see you today
But it's too bad you had to go away
Like the sorrow of a one act play
It was years before on that sultry day
The wind was warm for months and days
But you'll be here on the hot summer nights
And you'll be here on the cold winter nights
And we won't worry what's wrong or right
Basking in the white of the midnight sun

Oh, darling, darling, don't you fly too soon
My love's burning red like the summer skies in June
And space and time speak the only truths
And legends tell the story of the past
But paste pictures took her final toll
But as they say, all things gonna pass

It's too bad you had to go away
Gone tomorrow, but I'll see you today
It's too bad you had to go away
Like the sorrow of a one act play
Like the sorrow of a one act play
But you'll be here on hot summer nights
But you'll be here on the cold winter nights
And we won't worry what's wrong or right
Basking in the white of the midnight sun
Basking in the white of the midnight sun


c) Brother Ego

Brother Ego like a moth 'round a flame
Burn your wings yet again and feel the pain
On a fool's trip take a turn to the left
Scream and shout, fall about, but leave it out

How I long for you to warm yourself
On my soul, in my heart it hurts apart
But instead I'm in trouble again
You're outside right beside me, standing in the cold

Brother Ego, running round in circles
Why don't you come on home that's shining on
Shining on forever more


d) Basking in the White of the Midnight Sun (Reprise)

Your passing by just beyond my reach
Has left me here without the power of speech

And leaning on the only form I know
I wonder if I should stay or go
But going is a thing I couldn't face
I've got to spend my time upon this place
It's too bad I've got to be alone
The feelings will surely be outgrown
It's too bad I've got to be alone
The seed's there, I know it has been sown
I remember when you held me to your soul
I thought that I had reached my final goal
But you'll be here in my thoughts and in my heart

No distance will keep us apart
And we won't worry what's wrong or right
Basking in the white of the midnight
Basking in the white of the midnight
Basking in the white of the midnight sun
Basking in the white of the midnight
Basking in the white of the midnight
Basking in the white of the midnight sun
