| 1. The King
The story tells of the king of the sky,
Creator of dreams
On a big book he used to write,
The destiny of all galaxies
Lost in darkness, in his castle, far in the universe
He knew when the world began,
why life ended up
And the reason why events took place
One flies away on t |

Если бы среди итальянских команд проводился конкурс на самое точное воспроизведение классического наследия Helloweeen, то альбом группы Cydonia одного с ней названия занял бы первое место. Эта пластинка записана с таким скрупулёзным следованием спид-поверным канонам, установленым Helloween в конце 80-х, что Хансен и Вейкат при прослушивании пустили бы слезу по небритой щеке, вспоминая боевую молодость. Альбом делится как бы на 2 части. В первой - композиции "The King", "Great Souls Of Steel", "Last Prayers", при прослушивании которых возникает мысль: именно так должна звучать команда, играющая на современный спид-металл германского образца конца 80-х. Мелодии и вокальные партии просто классические, чуть ли не иконописные, которые так представляются в сознании в исполнении вышеозначенных Вейката и Хансена, да ещё и с Киске на вокале! Вторая половина альбома - песни, звучащие уже более по-современному, в духе, скажем, Labyrynth, чему очень способствуют клавишные. Однако при этом никаких сомнений не остаётся: и эти композиции созданы в мелодичном спид-паверном ключе самой высшей пробы. Красивые мелодии, чумовая скорость и драйв, а также улётные вокальные партии, спетые в полном соответствии с законами жанра! Диск удался, как говорит один политик, однозначно. |

В постоянном противостоянии немецких, скандинавских и италианских пауэрщиков рождаются порой замечательнийшие вещи! Вот одно из творений - сага о Марсе в исполнении абсолютно андеграундной группы Cydonia. О ней мало чего известно известно, кроме того, что за ударными силит драмстер из Лабиринта. Но разве это главное? Тогда хороший вопрос - что внутри? А там, как я сказал, поветствование о нелёгкой судьбе красной планеты, а за компанию и решается вопрос о происхождении всего человечества. Оформление этого всего - спидушно-паверское с отчётливо заметными Хелловскими корнями мелодии. НО!!! Это вышла далеко не копия Хелловина. Тут есть своя оригинальная, слегка ломаная, лирика, свой саунд. Порой несколько "задалбывает" драмстер, передёргивает от клавиш (у финов бы поучится немного ими пользоваться...), а в остольном - отменный продукт! Как обычно в таких случаях, буду надеятся, что эта вещь не последняя.
По одному баллу снимаю за Хелловинские хода и за клавишника. |

And one's heart's alive...to run...
When the night falls, he'll dominate
And from his throne, magic he'll spread
Present and future have no difference
For the immortal ones
Prisoner of an impossible task
Of life be knew nothing at all
All that's real, the oceans and stars
Are a fruit of his mind
Every soul is important and dreaming he creates
New lives to lose or win
One flies away on the rainbow or inside life
And one's heart's alive...to run...
When the night falls, he'll dominate
And from his throne, magic he'll spread
A race, as an end, the face, that is aging
Where's the mystery behind the dream
The space, I need to open a door, to know if
Heaven will have my replies
One flies away on the rainbow or inside life
And one's heart's alive...to run...
When the night falls, he'll dominate
And from his throne, magic he'll spread
2. Legend In Time
Shadows of evil in the night
They are hitting the ground
Peace is about to be cancelled
They are sure to take this world
Shades comes among the flames
The story will be changed
Blood is staining peace
They're sure to have this world
No one can stop, such dreams
In a fairy tale
The legend will fly...fly again in time
The anger of light Of the only God
Suddenly attacking The world remains free
The plan was well thought out
Their history: wars No mercy in their hearts
They're sure of their strength
Overwhelmed by their own hate
Shadows won't be saved
Drift out the lonely space
To find death here
No one can stop, such dreams
In a fairy tale
The legend will fly...fly again in time
The anger of light
Of the only God
Suddenly attacking
The world remains free
3. Land Of Life
Abandoned among flames, fear in his heart
the emperor sees his kingdom burn
he sees his life again, battles and triumphs
and suffering he takes his sword
The end is near, tragic and mean
Not even he managed to stop them
But this is war, sad and unfair
Will his fighting spirit find peace
A short time is left, death waits for him
As a hero he reaches his throne
One last prayer alone, some magic takes place
His soul gives life to Cydonia
There is no revenge in his heart, and right now
He'll be awake in the silence
He powerful will see the Gods in Heaven
A Divinity with an eternal soul.
Finally I can fly free in the sky, flying like a rainbow
Touching the stars and reigning in eternity
Cydonia Land of Life
When one day the entire planet will die
My Land will be free
Time will not be enough to eradicate this
The great fighting soul
And I want to see forever, to give out
Energy from my heart and my face to be
Silence in time, of a God, always inflamed
There is no revenge in his heart, and right now
He'll be awake in the silence
He powerful will see the Gods in Heaven
A Divinity with an eternal soul
Finally I can fly free in the sky, flying like a rainbow
Touching the stars and reigning in eternity
Cydonia Land of Life
But where is a planet without life in space
Where the spirit of a great King is still reigning
But where is a planet without life in space
Where the spirit of a great King is still reigning
Touching the start and reigning in eternity
Cydonia Land of Life
4. Great Soul Of Steel
It's burnt, the kingdom now is all in flames
Flames have consumed everything
Now the enemy is treading on (Your sacred religions)
Your face, your big and immortal portrait
Witness of catastrophe Will reflect the history
Of wisdom in the universe....
....Full of life and love
Shines like the sun everywhere and his
Power will never be stopped
Empire of Cydonia
Great soul of Steel, destined to be
A proud warrior without fear & revenge.
Dark are the battles that you fought
But you've never learnt to feel the hate
You have finalized your task
(In the name of the King of) Kings...
On the throne until your death
Your soul does not belong to it
'Cause your place is still here
The sign of life is inside the time....
....Full of tears and war
Shines like the sun everywhere and his
Power will never be stopped
Empire of Cydonia
Great soul of Steel, destined to be
A proud warrior without fear & revenge.
Don't cry if your life will end, but smile....
[Narration] "And dreams took the colour of hope
When a soul came down from Heaven"
Shines like the sun everywhere and his
Power will never be stopped
Empire of Cydonia
Great soul of Steel, destined to be
A proud warrior without fear & revenge.
5. Last Prayers
[Prelude]
Fire on all mounts, ice in all hearts
The destruction of Mars can't be avoided
People worrying, hope is now dead
No prayers can help
A far gone destiny
'Cause in my dreams the lion is the king
And in every situation, he fights even
though wounded
Oh my king, give me the strength, to be
Stronger than all
In the new world new life will start
Maybe somewhere lost in the space
The king is waiting for my prayers
Maybe somewhere lost in the space
The king will open his heart
Mars in delirium, oceans dried up
If I look at the sky, I can't see the stars
I wait out in the cold, near is my end
The powerful lion still strong in my dreams
And when the sun will set
I'll see the stars again
And where the rainbow will shine
Colours will find life again
I won't let my memories die
Lost in the fog
There's a nightmare in my sleep
A big door, covered with gold
I hurry, I must open it
Time is short, I won't make it
I want to open the door
That hides the mysteries
My life is a burning fire
6. Confused Future
Wars and Murders fears injustice
These are little problems
Black and white men, poor and rich than
Am I going crazy?
I care for none I think for myself
This my only religion
I'm bad for defense I'm a fool and a liar
Stay away from me if you can
Sex and strong drugs work & music
Don't need anything else
Peace & fortune, love & hate
Now I know what they mean
I'm going away from this world
Maybe in the future we'll live in the space
Maybe in a galaxy we'll find a planet
With no politicians
Don't be afraid in their war
They will disappear the whole universe
Will be the only world
Don't be afraid in their war
They will disappear the whole universe
Will have an only Lord
7. Masters Of Stars
They got here in the middle of the night
The light was really shining on the mounts
Petrified faces followed that moment
That's the very day that's signed by fate.
Wisdom & love as the prophets had said
Will be alright just give it time
God knows what from abuse
Of wisdom may come
You will create your fate through our matrix
The universe is so full of real life
Adoring and preying it's own Gods
They're near to the doors of eternity
The eternal Masters of Stars
The Gods of Time
And the moment they had to leave
There emerged a great number of religions
Time passed by and with it all beliefs
Prayers got confused with fairy tales
Wisdom & love as the prophets had said
Will be alright just give it time
God knows what from abuse
Of wisdom may come
You will create your fate through our matrix
The universe is so full of real life
Adoring and preying it's own Gods
They're near to the doors of eternity
The eternal Masters of Stars
The Gods of Time
[Narration]
"In all worlds there is both life and death
It's impossible to erase all memories"
But traces will always be hidden
Until the day..."when they will return..."
The universe is so full of real life
Adoring and preying it's own Gods
They're near to the doors of eternity
The eternal Masters of Stars
8. Slave To Dream
I am flying in a galaxy
Certain of seeing your eyes shining
I can hear your voice, I would like
To see your pretty smile
I know that you're there
I'm searching for the warmth of your arms
Inside my dream I'm spreading a
New flight with you
I look at the blue
Baby, I still can't see you
I can smell your scent
You'll always be in my heart
I'm ready to die, I don't wanna
Stop looking for you
Inside eternity,
Lost in the stars I'll find you
I know that you're there
I'm searching for the warmth of your arms
Inside my dream I'm spreading a
New flight with you
I look at the blue
Baby, I still can't see you
I can smell your scent
You'll always be in my heart
The fantasies of this game
Will increase my pains
And desire is making my
Heart explode
I'm a slave of this dream
I know I will wake up
And from Heaven, I'll fall
9. Eternal Night
I'm just leaving my home
with my eyes full of tears
and I still think of my father
with his full of life
And my dreams linked to the past
will fill my heart with joy
But my memories won't die away
like the destiny of my world
And forever I'll dream of my land
Population did so much to survive
And now the flame is dying
No way to keep it burning
I will not forget
When the sun was still shining on Mars
And the stars illuminated the nights
Everything looked like a Paradise
The whole life was like inside a dream
When the ocean was as blue as the sky
And the snow brought colour to the mounts
When the forests were emerald green
And the light returned after a long night
Now reigns the eternal night
Damned night of evil
Your shadow steals my colours
You've stolen my precious life
And you're making-my world die
A trip without return
Death or a new world
I will challenge the laws of time
I'll see the shining sun
And forever I'll dream of my land
Population did so much to survive
And now the flame is dying
No way to keep it burning
I will not forget
The tears are falling on the past...
...I won't forget my land...
