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

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
