Şarkıların İzinde: Age of False Innocence

Blind Guardian bilmeyeniniz varsa boşuna okumayın, başka şeylere geçin, diyebilirim. Blind Guardian'ın Hansi'nin artık opera sanatçısı tarzında seslendirdiği ve genel melodilerin artık power metal ile opera arasında kaydığı A Night at The Opera albümünde belki de en sevdiğim eserdir. Bu şarkı, paçayı yok abi güneş bizim uydumuz, diyerek paçayı kurtardıktan sonra "Eppur si muove" şeklinde engizisyona laf soktuğu iddia edilen Galileo'nun hikayesini anlatan bir eser. Dinlerken kan basıncı artmayacak insan olmasa gerek.

Şarkıda iki dikkati çeken iki şey var (Andre ve Marcus darılmasın ama) Hansi'nin öeh dedirten vokali ve Thomen'in davulları.

Üzüldüğüm ne biliyor musunuz? Thomas (Thomen) Stauch bu albümden birkaç zaman sonra Blind Guardian'dan ayrıldı. Hansi ve Thomen'i bir daha yan yana duyamayacak olmak üzücü birşey.

Sözleri:

Cut off the light
Take a look
There's nothing beyond but pain
Suffer in the deepest void
The flame of hope isgone
What have I done?
Denied the father and the sun
For a moment it seemed
There's space beyond the spheres

Aflame the night
So clear and bright
Unstable light
You've been sacrificed in fear
Now there's one thing for sure
I'm not afraid anymore

Day after day we've been fixed in the bowl
For so long
For ages we're captured in shells
And crystallized walls
Predestined or punished?
By man or god?

I cannot, I will not
Deny it's false innocence
I cannot, I will not
The age of false innocence
Take it away from me

For a while
Astronomy has moved the earth
And we've turned around the sun
Sanctum officium
Has made me believe
Has made me believe
Has made me believe

"We know for sure you're lying
Would you like to mess with holy science
You know the fear of dying
Would it be worth it to hear you crying"
I've slaughtered truth
And I've shattered my heart

Far too long I have played with hellfire
And science has turned into madness
But I should have taken it higher
So I feel so I feel
Like Judas must have felt before
That Wednesday night near by the tree

Day after day we will gratefully suffer for more
Predestined's our part
So we Bleed in the name of god

Don't believe in their eternity
We're still held in blindness
And I've been turned into a liar
If there is no heaven
There won't be release

I cannot, I will not
Deny it's false innocence
I cannot, I will not
The age of false innocence
I cannot, I will not
Deny it's false innocence
I cannot, I will not
The age of false innocence
Take it away from me
