Visions of Atlantis - 'The Dead of the Sea' (live at Toulouse)

My fearful heart, a home to many ghosts
Remembers all the battles I lost
From the fire, to the frost
The ones I've loved are those I've hurt the most

Requiem pro nobis
Miserere, Deus

Air is changing, wind is rising
Heavy as a threat
Waves are circling, cannons raging
I fear I can't escape
Ready for the raid that's coming
I will stand my ground
I won't be praying nor hesitating
I fight or I will drown

My taste for blood
This evil love makes me load the gun
What have I done?
When fire bursts
And they fall first I could lose my heart
In ecstasy

Far beneath the waves
I will hear the names
The dead of the sea
A swan without a song
I do not belong
The dead of the sea

Air is clearing, moon is rising
Silence comes around
My heart is rushing, I can't keep breathing
As I lay my eyes down
Floating by a cemetery
After the assault
I might be praying or denying
That this is my own fault

The smell of blood
The crimson mud as I drop the gun
What have I done?
A pale embrace
A haunting face that won't leave me be
Until the end

Far beneath the waves
I will hear the names
The dead of the sea
A swan without a song
I do not belong
The dead of the sea

Hiding away
From all I can't face
Never want to ever hurt you
I'm sorry for
All the wrongs I've done

My grieving heart, my lonely misery
Remembers all the battles I won
From the darkness, to the sun
Forgiving all I'll be forgiving me

Far beneath the waves
I will hear the names
The dead of the sea
A swan without a song
I do not belong
The dead of the sea

No matter if I'm strong
I will soon belong
The dead of the sea

Οι Visions of Atlantis μας έρχονται από την Αυστρία, δημιουργήθηκαν πριν από τριάντα έτη (τα πέντε πρώτα με άλλα ονόματα), μας συστήνονται κάπως έτσι:

We have the power in our hands to go on our own adventures, to face the perils and defeat. We have the confidence to take risks, to trust the universe, to demand and to let go. We don’t remain in our comfort zone.

Each challenge makes us stronger, each mistake helps us learn. We always move forward, we go harder, stronger, we do better. Every time. The power is ours, to rule our lives and fate, to choose the best for ourselves.

...και έχουν κυκλοφορήσει δέκα "ολοκληρωμένους" δίσκους, τρία EPs, τρία live albums, τέσσερα singles και ένα demo. "Ζωντανά" ηχογραφημένος δίσκος είναι το νέο τους πόνημα. "Armada (Live Over Europe)" ο τίτλος και αναμένεται στα ξεκινήματα της άνοιξης (11 Μαρτίου 2025).

Ουσιασιαστικά αφορά τα δύο EPs "Armada - Live Over Europe - Part I" (10 Δεκεμβρίου 2024) και "Armada - Live Over Europe - Part II" (21 Ιανουαρίου 2025) συν άλλα εννέα τραγούδια από την περιοδεία "Armada Tour 2024" που πραγματοποιήθηκε τον περασμένο Σεπτέμβριο - Οκτώβριο...
