Primordial - "Exile Amongst the Ruins" (video)

Δισκογραφική επιστροφή για τους Primordial μετά από τέσσερα χρόνια. (Ουσιαστικά μετά από δύο γιατί υπάρχει και το live album "Gods to the Godless" που "βγήκε" προ διετίας.) Ο διάδοχος του δίσκου "Where Greater Men Have Fallen" τιτλοφορείται "Exile Amongst the Ruins" κι αναμένεται στα τελειώματα του μήνα...

Primordial: «This is a simple story. A soldier’s fate that has happened around the world many times and will continue to do so. It is set in Ireland about 100 years ago. Nothing more and nothing less. They are the Ghosts. We are the Ruins.»

"Exile Amongst the Ruins" (lyrics)

---

The old enemies are dead and gone,
long gone my friend
You are like the boy who cried wolf
A voice buried in another decade's fears
and the songs you sang, to what end?

We are the ghosts among the ruins
Without history without nations
We are the ghosts among the ruins
Without faces without names

How you silenced with joy
the words of noble men
Tear down the statues you cried
and burn the books
Strike their deeds from history
and turn the clocks to nought
Let year zero begin on my watch

We are the ghosts among the ruins
Without history without nations
We are the ghosts among the ruins
Without a future
