| 2. Destiny
[Ben Sotto]
Feeling like an outcast of society, a man meets an alien,
who shows him that his destiny is not to live on Earth,
but to accomplish great things on another planet.
[intro :]
The future is nowhere
It comes to you like a divine star
[1st verse :]

Ну вот и вышел второй диск талантливой французской пауэр-команды. Новый диск не такой хитовый как первый, но зато более цельный что ли... В отличие от первого диска ребята несколько поменяли стиль. Музыка стала несколько более мягкой и, пожалуй, лиричной. Если первый альбом - это, в основном смесь Gamma Ray и Iron Savior, то здесь лично я явственно слышу более сильное влияние Stratovarius. Ну и конечно же осталось влияние Gamma Ray. Как уже повелось, открывает диск замечательное интро - Break The Silence аж на 4 минуты. Песня "The Angel" - чистейший Самовариус плюс в конце слышно что-то от Rhapsody. "Still Believe" - калька с Edguy'евского "Wake Up The King". В песне "The Sandman" клавишное вступление в начале - вылитый Royal Hunt, после чего песня переходит в плагиат на самих же себя (вещь "Number One" с первого альбома). Ну и так далее... Общий итог: альбом не такой хитовый как первый, но все равно его очень приятно слушать и можно смело рекомендовать всем любителям хорошего пауэра. Минусами могу назвать пожалуй только самоплагиат - нехорошо уже на втором диске такими вещами заниматься - такими темпами ребята вскорости могут скатиться во второй или даже третий дивизион, смешавшись с кучей неприметных пауэр-групп. |

Случайно попал ко мне этот альбом. Послушали и что же мы имеем? А вот что: добротный power metal, как оказалось, французского разлива. По музыке и звучанию я бы сравнил данную команду с Gamma Ray (поздний), Angra и Freedom Call. И вокалист, что характерно, местами напоминает Кая Хэнсена, местами Andre Матоса. Высокий у него такой вокал, из-за чего песни звучат очень по-доброму и даже как-то по-детски местами :-) По части качества записи и професионализма музыкантов придраться не к чему - все сделано на высшем уровне.
Выделять отдельные песни особого смысла не вижу - альбом достаточно ровный, песни яркие с запоминающимися хоровыми припевами.
Единственный существенный недостаток (как и у большинства команд играющих в данном стиле) - вторичность материала. Все это мы уже слышали, и не раз. У многих, я уверен, при прослушивании возникнет дежавю и ассоциации, помимо вышеперечисленных команд, с Helloween, Royal Hunt, Stratovarius, Iron Saviour и т.д.
Но мне лично понравилось! Вышел бы альбомчик лет эдак десять назад, был бы шедевром...Всем любителям жанра рекомендую!
Остальные вряд ли найдут для себя что-либо интересное... |

He appeared to me from the sky
Floated in the air, it dazzled my eyes
And he carried me for a flight
[bridge :]
too tired to understand
I crossed the galaxy
Universe of fire I saw
Showed me so many ways
Then I felt lost in time
I'm a hero, an alien is a friend of mine
[chorus :]
By a fantasy I have found my destiny
Then I knew, that all over the clouds of human kind
Exists another destiny
A world where is growing all love
[2nd verse :]
IN his machine lights surrounded me
Flashed on my face so bright
Left behind me my memories and griefs
Run away after the past
[bridge :]
So tired to understand
I crossed the galaxy
Universe of fire I saw
Showed me so many ways
Then I felt lost in time
I'm a hero, an alien is a friend of mine
[chorus :]
By a fantasy I have found my destiny
Then I knew, that all over the clouds of human kind
Exists another destiny
A world where is growing all love

[chorus :]
By a fantasy I have found my destiny
Then I knew, that all over the clouds of human kind
Exists another destiny

By a fantasy I have found my destiny
A world where is growing all love

Lost in the sea, a man is searching for land.
But an angel is guiding him,
a superior force is showing him the way through his quest.

Sun be my guide
Can you see where is the right side ?
In my quest
Which feels so hard
I heard a voice
Coming from the sky

Passing through the storm
And find your land
You have to be proud
Follow your way

It comes the wind
And the rain on my way
But the sun has never shown me its light
This kind of fear gives me force in my head
The sign of the winner is in my eyes

Sea, magic sea
Victory resounds to my mind
Future is not so far
The angel's voice calls me one more time

But the sun has never shown me its light
This kind of fear gives me force in my head
The sign of the winner is in my eyes

[Ben Sotto]
Is there something more beautiful than the world ?
So why do we keep on destroying it ?
Look around you,
you will see that we need to protect and enjoy the world we are living in.

I have a dream where I saw the earth
Where nature was so glorious
Take the time, look around you
And the world will be better
And the world will be better

Try to understand that it's our land
And we have a chance to become better men with a better way
Try to understand, to become friends
To raise our hands to heaven and regret, a long regret
Then we will realize that world is a gift of the sky

Just look at the rainbow
And the stars are shining so high
Beauty of sky, give me wings to fly

And the stars are shining so high
Enjoy the sky 'cause we live then we die

Beauty of sky, give me wings to fly

[Ben Sotto]

Knowing that the end is near, he asks to be guided towards death.
[1st verse :]
Sick in a white room
The disease is invading me
The countdown has begun
My consciousness disappearing
[2nd verse :]
Where is my way
Should I wait for my turn
I have to contemplate the world
A last time in my life
[bridge :]
Then I cried again and I cried again
Running into the wind
Under the sun, fighting the pain inside of me
Step by step my body'll leave my brain
Running into the wind
Under the sun, crossing the edge turbulants of life
[chorus :]
Time will not wait and my future feels so strange
Turning back to live once again
But I know
I'm condemned to die

My heart's feeling fragile
Lord you let me down
Please before I'm going on

The whisper of the time
I need an answer
A reason to my prayer
[chorus :]
You're the angel
White as the winter
You're the angel
Forever
You're the angel
White as the winter
You're the angel
Forever
So far away
Through the light
Through the sky
Til the end of time
You're the angel
White as the winter
You're the angel
White as the winter
White as the wings of life

Which fall, falling on the ground
Which don't belong to us anymore

When the sandman came at night
To tuck you child
Read the book of the night
Took you away to the sky

The sandman's magical power can't work forever
The dreamland was my destiny

Until I find my way
Until I find who I am

Are engraved in my brain
Now it's time to realize
That war destroys the Earth

There's no words to say what I lived in this war
A game which hurts you and your desires
Alone in this world you're feeling so sad
Wrote the last letter and implored the sky

Or waited for the chance
To find the right time and run away
Take the risk to die
To save my life and my country
Carry on my way
To fight for a new destiny

There'ss such dreams inside me
Which'll never know the glory
Oh Lord of victory
Defeat the misery

Silence
Way of light
Future of the world will depend on the fight
It's time
To become wild
For one peace and for one love
I have to go to say goodbye
Future of mankind will depend on the fight
The stars shining so high
For one peace and for one love
Until the end, I will fight
For the universe, the rich and for the poor
Tonight is the night
For one peace and for one love
Will reign into our hearts, into our minds
Until the end

There's no words to say what I lived in this war
A game which hurts you and your desires
Alone in this world you're feeling so sad
Wrote the last letter and implored the sky

Or waited for the chance
To find the right time and run away
Take the risk to die
To save my life and my country
Carry on my way
To fight for a new destiny

There's such dreams inside me
Which'll never know the glory
Oh Lord of victory
Defeat the misery

There's such dreams inside me
Which'll never know the glory
Oh Lord of victory
Defeat the misery
