Iron Maiden - 'Journeyman' (2015 Remaster)

From the red sky of the east
to the sunset in the west
We have cheated death and he has cheated us
But that was just a dream,
and this is what it means
We are sleeping and we'll dream forevermore

And the fragment remains of our memories
And the shadows remain with our hands
Deeper grey came to mourn all the colours of the dawn
Will this journeyman's day be his last?

I know what I want
and I say what I want
And no one can take it away
I know what I want
and I say what I want
And no one can take it away
(x2)

But the memory still remains
All the past years not so strange
Our winter times are like a silent shroud
And the heartbeat of the day
drives the mist away
And winter's not the only dream around

In your life you may choose desolation
And the shadows you build with your hands
If you turn to the light that is burning in the night,
then your journeyman's day has begun

I know what I want
and I say what I want
And no one can take it away
I know what I want
and I say what I want
And no one can take it away
(x2)

“Spare your own life, and choose the destruction of time over yourself”

In your life you may choose desolation
And the shadows you build with your hands
If you turn to the light that is burning in the night,
then your journeyman's day has begun

I know what I want
and I say what I want
And no one can take it away
I know what I want
and I say what I want
And no one can take it away
(x2)

Νομίζω ότι ο δίσκος "Dance of Death" αποτελεί μία από τις πλέον αμφιλεγόμενες μουσικές προτάσεις των Iron Maiden στην συνείδηση του κόσμου. Υποτιμημένο στις τάξεις των φίλων του Βρετανικού μουσικού σχήματος, αυτή η εντύπωση μου έχει δημιουργηθεί τουλάχιστον.

Κυκλοφόρησε τον Σεπτέμβριο του μακρινού 2003 και ήταν το 13o full length album της Αγγλικής μπάντας και δεύτερο μετά την επιστροφή του Bruce Dickinson.

Εδώ μέσα (θεωρώ ότι) βρίσκονται ορισμένα από τα καλύτερα μουσικά κομμάτια που μας έχουν παρουσιάσει οι Maiden, όπως το ομότιτλο, το "Montségur", το (καταπληκτικό και λατρεμένο μου) "Paschendale" και το (επτάλεπτο) ακουστικό "Journeyman" (όχι πως τα υπόλοιπα τραγούδια δεν είναι άξια αναφοράς)...
