legions  

timo tolkkinin melankolik ve de depresif hallerinden uzak bir ruh halinde yazdığı stratovariusşarkısı.visions albümünde.şarkının,hele nakaratın sözlerinin,sadece konserde seyirciye ayar çekmek maksadı ile yazıldığından şüpheleniyorum.


far in the core of the earth
first it was given birth
we heard the call the message was so clear
the tracks were laid for the future to come
sons and daughters of the rising sun
the armies in europe here we come
we run like the wind we play from the heart
now we are here together we sing
faster than light higher than the sky
tonight we're together again
we never give up and never give in
stronger than steel we're the legions of the twilight
we survived the hard times
never accepted the lies
you run like the wind you sing from the heart
now that we're here together we'll sing
faster than light higher than the sky
tonight we're together again
we never give up and never give in
stronger than steel we're the legions of the twilight
when we have to go back home again
we'll keep the memories we gained inside our hearts
faster than light higher than the sky
tonight we're together again
we never give up and never give in
stronger than steel we're the legions of the twilight
faster than light higher than the sky
tonight we're together again
we never give up and never give in
stronger than steel we're the legions of the twilight
legions of the twilight
legions of the twilight
raise your hands for us!

2005 çıkışlı planetary confinement albümünden, neler hissettirdiğini çok tanımlayamadığım, loop fatihi, eşsiz bir antimatter klasiği..

hani ilk dörtlükte;
"where god is a wall
where god is a wall to look upon" deyişindeki içsellik midir bu şarkıyı bu kadar özel yapan

yoksa şu emsalsiz son mısrası mı?;
"ıf you don't learn to leave this thing alone
you'll never get to see the sun again
you won't come out on top
the seed is sown"

muhtemelen bu saydıklarımın hepsi ve daha fazlası...

sözlerin tamamıysa şu şekilde ilerliyor;

stony and grey is the whore
and long are the days in the morgue
where god is a wall
where god is a wall to look upon

legions and hordes
the seas have been torn
and buildings remain where they fall
and ı solemnly walk
through legions and hordes
a dark mass of infidel

long is the howl at the end
a cry from the tail echoing
and fools reverberate
and fools reverberate and carry on...

what have they done to themselves?
look what they've done to themselves.

ıf you don't learn to leave this thing alone
you'll never get to see the sun again
you won't come out on top
the seed is sown
