Arcane - Agamemnon (demo version / new mix)

Οι Arcane μας έρχονται από τις Η.Π.Α. Δημιουργήθηκαν το 1985 κι αρέσκονται στο τεχνικό US Power / Prog. Από το 1988 μέχρι το 1994 κυκλοφόρησαν τρία demos, ένα ep κι έναν ολοκληρωμένο δίσκο ("Destination Unknown" 1990).

Πέρυσι κυκλοφόρησε από την Divebomb Records μία συλλογή υπό τον τίτλο "Worlds Colliding: The Anthology". Διπλό cd με 23 τραγούδια της μπάντας. Αναζητήστε την.

Το κομμάτι της ανάρτησης είναι εμπνευσμένο από την ιερή μας μυθολογία. Αναφέρεται στον Έλληνα βασιλιά, Αγαμέμνονα, και τα όσα ακολούθησαν την κατάληψη της Τροίας. Το βρίσκουμε στο "παρθενικό demo της μπάντας "Mirror of Deception" του 1988 (και φυσικά στην συλλογή).

Agamemnon (lyrics)

---

Fire foretells return of the king from the land of Troy
The sin of his fathers rests upon him demise is his only choice
He sacrificed his daughter to the gods for wind to push his sails
Ten years of battles lie behind him the shores of home ahead

Agamemnon the gods hold your fate and they won’t let it go
Agamemnon you know you must die, hate the prophecy foretold

A hero’s welcome greets Agamemnon no one suspects his doom
Clytemnestra plots to steal his throne and put aegisthus in his place
The destiny of man is descending upon the earth
Cassandra prophesises his departure from this world of foolish minds

Clytemnestra thrust her knife three times into his back
Aegisthus waits to take command of the city without a king
A mangod made a man once more brought down by the gods
Apolo tightens his reigns on Mycenae as the sin drenched city repents
