Святая Армия Ночи с леденящим душу воем бросается в гущу сражения. Их доспех - крестное знамение, их оружие - Библия. Их проповедь сеет смерть и огонь. Над битвой сгущаются сумерки… Ряды неприятеля начинают проседать под неумолимым натиском. Пораженные, словно молнией, словами молитвы враги падают один за другим. В ужасе они бросают оружие и бегут, оставляя позади раненных товарищей. Но благословенная нечисть продолжает наступление. Никакой пощады к вероотступникам. Господня Жажда крови не знает меры. Никто не уйдет от кары...
Как вы уже, наверное, поняли, в музыке Powerwolf опять ничего не изменилось. Всё та же формула, используемая с 2007 (если прикапываться к мелочам, то с 2009) года: хоры на латыни, орган, колкости в адрес Святого семейства и незыблемая верность схеме "куплет-припев-куплет", куда иногда робко пролезает короткое гитарное соло... Сработало ли всё это в очередной раз? Определённо. Новый опус «волков» обладает внушительным запасом хитовости и не отягощает слушателя балластом филлеров. Особенно удачно альбом контрастирует с "Preachers of the Night", который не оседал в голове и которому редко хотелось подпевать (А ведь худшей характеристики для пауэрного альбома и не сыщешь.). Да что там, "Blessed and Possessed" даже готов потягаться с моим любимым "Blood of the Saints", а это, конечно, радует...
Но точно так же и огорчает. Никаких изменений, никаких, даже мельчайших, шагов из зоны комфорта не предвиделось два года назад, не свершилось и сейчас, так что следующая пластинка, если только не вмешается Воля Волчья, очевидно, снова будет под завязку набита трёхминутными шлягерами с непременными "аллилуйя" и "матерь Мария". А заядлый консерватизм в столь юном возрасте - порок, который редкий поклонник способен долго прощать. Признаться, мне самому тяжело представить, на какие изменения в звучании группа могла бы пойти, и оптимизма это нисколько не прибавляет. Но пока я бы посоветовал отбросить эти мысли и еще раз переслушать “Blessed and Possessed”. Только не вздумайте включать бонус-диск с каверами.
…пепелище усеяно изувеченными телами; застывшие лица тех, кому посчастливилось сохранить голову на плечах, скованны невыразимым ужасом. Вокруг собираются собаки и хищные птицы, учуяв за мили запах плоти. Солнце ушло навсегда, и на его месте взошла Кровавая Луна, и в свете её Господне Войско будет вершить Страшный Суд над всеми, на кого упал гнев Его. Да будет Ночь! Аллилуйя!
Ну, вы поняли... |

in the night we're reborn
and we carry our hearts to the dome
To the Bible we're sworn
in the dark we transform
and we die
by the dawn all alone
In the night we can't rest
in the dark we are blessed
and in moonlight we fight for the father
We are brave to the heart
blood and fire we part
and forever we pray for we are
Blessed and Possessed
Blessed and Possessed
Blessed and Possessed
Halleluja
Cursed by our desire,
and guided by our lust
holy father in heaven,
in sacristy we trust
Blessed before the altar,
no life in celibate
for the call of the wicked,
the wicked we await
And we die by the sword
undead life our reward
and we carry our lust all alone
To the Bible we're sworn
in desire transform
we're not blessed
when undressed to the bone
In the night we can't rest
in the dark we are blessed
and in moonlight we fight for the father
We are brave to the heart
blood and fire we part
and forever we pray for we are
Blessed and Possessed
Blessed and Possessed
Blessed and Possessed
Halleluja
Benedictus
Et Affectus
Benedictus
Halleluja
Benedictus
Et Affectus
Benedictus
Halleluja
In the night we can't rest
in the dark we are blessed
and in moonlight we fight for the father
We are brave to the heart
blood and fire we part
and forever we pray for we are
Blessed and Possessed
2. Dead Until Dark
Prone to the grave, the dark side you walk
in the light of the morning we fall
Confront the brave, the rebel we stalk,
when we came - we saw - we conquered them all
Blessed when we die, confessed not a lie
in the still of the night we aware
Don't dare to cry, when fever up high
no escape - no break - your life we will take
Gone with the night
when the unholy demons of dawn
Pray
when the sunlight is dead we're reborn
We are dead until dark - when the night is calling
dead until dark - and at midnight high
dead until dark - and at dawn we all will die
We are dead until dark - when the Saints are crawling
dead until dark - and the demons fly
dead until dark - we unite the blood-red sky
Cursed by our fate, the undead crusade
for the sanctum deep under your skin
Raise up the blade, by night we invade
for the last - of times - the fight may begin
Murder bizarre, nocturnal we are
when we rise like the phantoms of dust
Sent from the dead, we long for the red
for in blood - in god - in heaven we trust
3. Army Of The Night
Stand up for the Night and call the Fight
Blend your Mind come right before the Light
Here we come the Army of the Night
Mater Maria
Live don't Sight, by Side and bound to break
Sent to die and fight the Final Day
Army of the Night we came to slay
Mater Maria
Better you pray before the Night is falling

Blend your Mind come right before the Light
Here we come the Army of the Night
Mater Maria
Live don't Sight, by Side and bound to break
Sent to die and fight the Final Day
Army of the Night we came to slay
Mater Maria
Enemies fallen with their Sermons spoken
Taken my higher and Amen
Call of the Mortals with their Bible broken
Suffer the Testament Amen
Come on the other Side
Into the Dark we Hide
Never live for the Right
Sacristalum!
We are the Force alive
Into the War we ride
Hallelujah!
Stand up for the Night and call the Fight
Blend your Mind come right before the Light
Here we come the Army of the Night
Mater Maria

Here we come the Army of the Night
Mater Maria

Mater Maria
4. Armata Strigoi
Stand up for God
In the land of the fire
Bring on the madness
You're born to destroy
Beyond the trail
Of tartarean riders
Armata strigoi
Before the morning
Can break we retire
The searing heat
Of the sun we a void
Await the dark
Proud walachian fighters
Armata strigoi
We are the stormbound
The avatar
We are the sons of God and sorrow
We are the ones who see
No tomorrow
Suck up!
Armata de strigoi
We hall the cross
And we kill
By the bible
For seven sins
Are defined to deploy
Along the front
Of moldavian strikes
Armata strigoi
We pray for mercy
Of mater maria
The sacred lie
Who gave birth to the boy
We drink the blood
Of the fallen believer
Armata strigoi
We are the stormbound
The avatar
We are the sons of God and sorrow
We are the ones who see
No tomorrow
Suck up!
Armata de strigoi
We are the stormbound
The avatar
We are the sons of God and sorrow
We are the ones who see
No tomorrow
Suck up!
Armata de strigoi
5. We Are The Wild
At the end of our time we stand
hold the cross by the iron hand
holy Christ in your command
we call on the dark
Be the last of the human kind
with no blood in you heart and mind
alone into fire we walk
If we come all before you wake
pray the lord your soul to take
for your blood will build a lake
sing Halleluja
In the night when you rest your head
and we rise up from the dead
unholy and fallen we are
Wild, wild, we are the wild
wild, wild, break out and cry
wild, wild, you are the wild
and till the morning
stand up and fight
We are the wild
and after midnight we're alive
can't stop the wild
forever born to hail the night
In the dark of the night we pray
for the dawn of the final day
for unlight to guide the way
and god take our hand
Overhead where the demons die
and the daylight blinds the eye
alone on the pyre we stand
In the daytime seek to hide
till at sundown we unite
to begin the sacrifice
scream Halleluja
Ride the storm and raise your fist
celebrate the Eucharist
go out in the night for we are
Wild, wild, we are the wild
wild, wild, break out and cry
wild, wild, you are the wild
and till the morning
stand up and fight
We are the wild
and after midnight we're alive
can't stop the wild
forever born to hail the night
We are the wild
until the morning we survive
can't stop the wild
for we are born to win the fight
We are the wild
6. Higher Than Heaven
In the night we break the sorrow
in the night we come alive
in the night Adrenalin is higher than heaven
In the night with no tomorrow
in the night demons are
in the night when carnal lust is higher than heaven
The cross on your wall, and demons inside
come raise my sword to heaven
The night to be fall the pulse of the tide
the bell did strike eleven
And when the night has come
no, we never will return
where the mortal pray resurrection
When the light has gone
in the sacristy we turn up high... and wake
In the night we break the sorrow
in the night we come alive
in the night Adrenalin is higher than heaven
In the night with no tomorrow
in the night demons are
in the night when carnal lust is higher than heaven
We call on the dark, the lord by our side
take on the cross in heaven
We ride till we fall, unbroken we die
we strike by force of seven
And when the night has come
no, we never will return
where the mortal pray resurrection
When the light has gone
in the sacristy we turn up high... and wake
The sundown we call, in twilight we hide
the night we still remember
We pray for them all, and restless we fight
We never will surrender
And when the night has come
no, we never will return
where the mortal pray resurrection
When the light has gone
in the sacristy we turn up high... and wake
In the night we break the sorrow
in the night we come alive
in the night Adrenalin is higher than heaven
In the night with no tomorrow
in the night demons are
in the night when carnal lust is higher than heaven
7. Christ & Combat
Say will you stand up for Christ and combat
Ride,
defend, the kingdom of god
alive in the conquest of Normans
Crossed the land, to Byzantine shores
we storm Constantinople's walls
Gone ahead, the army went on
arrived at the river of Jordan
Brave the dread, Jerusalem's sons
and one-by-one the pilgrims fall
And by the city of Siron
their bodies lying to rot
and underneath blood and iron
lies, the promise and honour of god
Say will you stand up for Christ and combat
Will you fight like a rebel, a rebel in black
Saw will you sand up for Christ and combat
Will you sanctify the dark
Kill and pray, crusaders at heart
in 1097 we started
Lost the way, and spread all apart
the holy roman empire
The remaining knights, prepared for attack
to honour the prophet departed
on they fought, with no turning back
the kingdom shine forever more
And by the city of Siron
their bodies lying to rot
and underneath blood and iron
lies, the promise and honour of god
Go straight to heaven for Christ and combat
give your life for the sanctum that you never had
Take place in heaven for Christ and combat
gone to sanctify the dark
Christ
Christ and combat
Christ and combat
Christ and in heaven we are
Christ
Christ and combat
Christ and combat
Christ and in heaven we are
Christ
Christ and combat
Christ and combat
Christ and in heaven we are
Christ
Christ and combat
Christ and combat
Christ and combat
Ten thousand men died for Christ and combat
gone as mighty crusaders and never came back
ascend to heaven for Christ and combat
in remembrance of the dark
Say will you stand up for Christ and combat

9. Sacramental Sister
Bow down my sister, you've taken the veil
locked up desire and buried your grail
Christ in your heart and the poison in mind
merciful father bring light to the blind
Carry the cross under sacred command
when down your body the priars descend
Sacramental sister, in heaven or hell
when the night is falling, no moral can tell
Sacramental sister, to god you are sworn
when desire are calling, the Bible is torn
Sacramental sister
in the darkest night
Sacramental sister
in the act we saw you alive
Sacramental sister
do the morning star
Sacramental sister
let him take you far
to the light
Sacramental sister!
Inside the order and out of control
corpus for sin and to heaven the soul
fallen for sin by the breaking of bread
lamb on the altar and werewolf in bed
Sacramental sister, in heaven or hell
when the night is falling, no moral can tell
Sacramental sister, impure to the bone
dedicate your body to god all alone
Sacramental sister
in the darkest night
Sacramental sister
in the act we saw you alive
Sacramental sister
do the morning star
Sacramental sister
let him take you far
to the light
Sacramental sister!
Sacramental sister
in the darkest night
Sacramental sister
in the act we saw you alive
Sacramental sister
you were led astray
Sacramental sister
in the light of dawn
you will pray
Sacramental sister!
10. All You Can Bleed
All night, fill me up
for the harvest of your veins we seek you
Outright, spill the sap, all alone where we appear
Don't you try to hide
by the sermon of the holy week,
you're born to cast aside, see the final time is near
Ex Christus, Ex corpus
sanguinem malum
Ex sanguis, sanctorum
sacramental greed
All you can bleed
in the sacrament of god we drink up
all you can bleed
no remorse
all you can bleed
in the midnight mass we celebrate you
all you can bleed
Christ by force
Break up, draw the line
to the underworld where we belong, you
can't stop, might divine, we are spineless when you bleed
inflame dynamite
for the mind is weak and lust is strong, all
mores, we override, for we are the undead seed
Ex Christus, Ex corpus
sanguinem malum
Ex sanguis, sanctorum
sacramental greed
All you can bleed
in the sacrament of god we drink up
all you can bleed
no remorse
all you can bleed
in the midnight mass we celebrate you
all you can bleed
Christ by force
All you can bleed
sanguis in dominus
All you can bleed
Halleluja
All you can bleed
sanguis in dominus
All you can bleed
Halleluja
All you can bleed
in the sacrament of god we drink up
all you can bleed
no remorse
all you can bleed
in the midnight mass we celebrate you
all you can bleed
Christ by force
11. Let There Be Night
Let there be night
god bless the father, the son
let there be night
and day be gone
Let there be night
the mass of dark has begun
Let there be night
and damn the sun
