Diamond Head - 'The Messenger' (Bloodstock 2021)

The spirits rise in the dead man’s tomb
Worlds deprived under his name
He rides above your city
And decides if to lay down his hands
Stories are told since the dawn of days
When it’s time remember his name

You bear the swords
For the last time
You hear him cry

I am the messenger of Death
And I keep a ledger filled with wrath
For I am your messenger of Death
And I keep a ledger with all your names

When he was born his mother died
Fate said her words, the cruellest lie
The end is only a beginning
Through the flames and the feathers damned
From whence he came the dark divine
In the purest form, Death is time

You say your words
One last time
Even then you hear him cry

I am the messenger of Death
And I keep a ledger filled with wrath
For I am your messenger of Death
And I keep a ledger with all your names

I am the messenger of Death
And I keep a ledger filled with wrath
For I am your messenger of Death
And I keep a ledger with all your names

Στο περσινό Bloodstock Open Air Metal Festival εμφανίσθηκαν οι Diamond Head. Ανάμεσα στα τραγούδια που απέδωσαν "ζωντανά" ήταν και το "The Messenger". Το εν λόγω μουσικό κομμάτι το πρωτογνωρίσαμε στον δίσκο της Βρετανικής μπάντας "The Coffin Train" (το δεύτερο τραγούδι) που κυκλοφόρησε τον Μάιο του 2019...
