Тридцати-трёхминутный сингл от Royal Hunt в преддверии очередного шедевра - диска The Mission. На сингле присутствует первая часть композиции Intervention, две живые версии песен Lies и Flight, акустическая версия замечательной баллады Follow Me с предыдущего диска, и немного блюзовая композиция U-Turn. На диске фигурируют по-прежнему музыканты: Андре Андерсен (клавишные), Джон Вест (вокал), Якоб Кьер (гитара), Стин Монгенсен (бас), Аллан Соренсен (ударные).
Несмотря на такое смешение разных по настроению и записи песен, сингл получился на редкость удачным. Десятку не поставлю только потому, что это всё же не полноценный альбом, но ТАКИХ самодостаточных синглов похоже никогда не было и не будет! |

so turn off the light, I'm closing my eyes
Flying back - ages ago
Curtain is down and I'm ready to go
back to the day when I looken into your eyes
Straight to your heart - when I knew
you've been telling me lies
Even the day when we met
I'll always recall with the deepest regret
Tell me what keeps you awake:
Talk of the angel or soul of the snake?
How can you live in your shadow from within
Hiding away from the light in the river of sin?
Lies, neverinding lies, I see it in your eyes
Did you stop believing ?
Lies always cold as ice, even heaven cries
for you, but not forgiving
Lies - the way to paradise you're gonna pay the price
on the field of growing lies
Neverending lies need a sacrifice -
you're the one who's going down
Dealing with you on my own
Loosing my faith so I have to be strong
crossing the sea of mistrust while
looking for gold which you covered with dust
3. Flight
Eye's of the night, keepin' me right
Engine's roaring like hell
Wing on my side, shakes of the light
Ready to go - I can tell
You better sit upright or you'll fall down
No one's gonna help you miles around
There's no place for tears or fear of heights
Nothing- just the thunder of flight
Fly forever and try -
Cross over the sky-
Feelin' the wind blow.
Cry for losers who died
They're watching you fly-
Over the rainbow
Scary how fast you're down in the dust,
Watching the sign in the sky
Kill or get killed, glory and thrill
Waitin' for one who'll survive
I had a dream last night and I say you burn
Right on the edge of the point of no return
No more excuses and no more comin' back,
Light of the sun - it's turnin' black
4. Follow Me
[Acoustic Version]
If pictures could talk there'd be too many voices
If sorrow could scream I'd be deaf in a day
I beg my memories to slowly fade away
Too many voices
If pain could've been seen there'd be too many faces
wherever I'd go - I'd rather be blind
And in the darkest night I'd loose my guiding light
but you I'll find even if I'm blind
Follow me - but I don't know where I'm going
Follow me down the road to something new
Follow me - there's no other way of knowing
what your heart is telling you
I'm planting my hopes and I harvest illusions
year after year - understood by a few
Sometimes it seems like I'm getting through to you
but it's just an illusion
I'm so afraid of loosing you
but there's nothing I can do
Nothing I can do but my heart is calling you - follow me
5. U-Turn
Somebody told me I was dreaming
"You can forget about changing the rules
There is no simple way of living"
said liars and fools
Feels like I'm movin' round
in circles
'Coz any turn I make won't let me
get away
Would you beleive in happy endings
what ever thay say?
Every day, every night I'm still
searching for my ray of light
Day by day, night by night am I
closer, please, somebody tell me!
Last U-turn on the way to my dream
And I hope I can make it at last
Last U-turn and I'm ready to win
Learning heartache and pain
in the past
How many miles have I've been
walkin'
How many years has passed
- it's very heavy load
Through neverending mindless
talking
'Til the end of the road
They keep on calling me a dreamer
"You can forget about changing the
rules
There is no honest way of living"
They're liars and fools
