| 1. Shed No Tears
One heart of fire, another made of ice
What I once I though was true, has shown to be lies
I know you've been mistreated
You have been hurt
But treating me this way
Won't take away your pain
No tears, I'll cry for you
Although my heart's bleeding
I won't shed a drop

Какой уже по счету клон Ингви Мальмстина решил осчастливить всех своим творением. Не знаю как насчет "всех", но для фанатов неоклассического метала диск вполне может представлять определенную ценность. Песни не то чтобы хитовы, но и не дурственны, а требовать от клона большего, пожалуй, бессмысленно. Поет же здесь набивший руку на такого рода музыке Аполло Папатанасио (Majestic, Time Requiem). |

Неуместно говорить о клонах Ингви Мальмстина, даже не обосновывая обвинения - клоном можно назвать кого угодно, включая клонов тех, кто говорит про клонов Мальмстина.
Прошу прощения за позволенное себе лирическое вступление.
Альбом представляет большую ценность не только для любителей неоклассики, но и для любого, интересующегося зрелым классическим металом, человека. В-общем, прослушивается легко, хотя есть несколько давящих на восприятие вещей, к примеру последняя "Burn in Hell", хотя это не так страшно - альбом-то уже прослушан и последние вещи не так влияют на общее впечатление.
Хиты есть, взять, к примеру, "Shed No Tears, "Now and Forever". Музыка очень разнообразна, не перестают радовать новые гитарные ходы.
Музыка быстра и, в отличие от того же Мальмстина, мелодична и легко запоминается. Гитарные соло-партии выражают свой уникальный стиль Стефана Берга. |

You are nothing to me
Shed no tears
My life is passion, your life is full of rules
You think that passion's something made just for fools
[A:] There's nothing more to say now
[S:] Nothing to say
[A:] You've had your chance
[S:] You've had your chance
[A:] You threw away the key that opens up my heart
[S:] My heart
No tears, I'll cry for you
Although my heart's bleeding
I won't shed a drop
'Cause you are no worth it
You are nothing to me
Shed no tears
[SOLO]
No tears, I'll cry for you
Although my heart's bleeding
I won't shed a drop
'Cause you are no worth it
You are nothing to me
Shed no tears.
2. I Will Rise
They've always told me you're not good enough
Keeping me nailed to the ground
But I've always followed the voice of my heart
Burning desire of art
They're full of envy
It makes them mad
I see it clearly
It makes me sad
But now I know, now I know
As sure as they shall fall
I will rise
A storm wind of feelings, I'm bursting in flames
Passion is burning in the sky
I'm screaming the notes, that I'm going to play
For me there's no other way
They're full of envy
It makes them mad
I see it clearly
It makes me sad
But now I know, now I know
As sure as they shall fall
I will rise
[SOLO]
But now I know, now I know
But now I know, now I know
As sure as they shall fall
I will rise
But now I know, now I know
As sure as they shall fall
I will rise
3. Now And Forever
Through eons of time my heart has awaited
For this day to come
And many a day the gods know
I've doubted that this moment would arise
In passionate flames my heart is burning
The moment is here, the end of our journey
We can't ignore our hearts
They were meant together
Two souls meant for each other
Together, now and forever
In passionate flames my heart is burning
The moment is here, the end of our journey
We can't ignore our hearts
They were meant together
Two souls meant for each other
Together, now and forever
[SOLO]
We can't ignore our hearts
They were meant together
Two souls meant for each other
Together, now and forever
We can't ignore our hearts
They were meant together
Two souls meant for each other
Together, now and forever
4. Sleep
Our hearts were made as one
Perpetual love, why did you have to die?
I held you tight and said "loved one do not be afraid"
Just close your eyes and dream
Sleep forever in my arms
Our love, it never had a chance
A dream was all we had, you and I
They were blind, they could not see
That you and I, we were meant to be
I held you tight and said "loved one do not be afraid"
Just close your eyes and dream
Sleep forever in my arms
Our love, it never had a chance
A dream was all we had, you and I
[SOLO]
I held you tight and said "loved one do not be afraid"
Just close your eyes and dream
Sleep forever in my arms
Our love, it never had a chance
A dream was all we had, you and I
Sleep forever in my arms
Our love, it never had a chance
A dream was all we had, you and I
Sleep, just close your eyes and dream
Death is not what it may seem
5. Touch The Sky
A perpetual fire
Reign of passion, my heart is in flames
An eruption of violent fury
Touches me gentle as a breeze
An emotional whirlwind
Sweeping through my mind
Now I am reaching for heaven
Leaving you all behing
My heart is pure and my mind is so clear
Soaring so high, I'm free of all fear
I never knew I could fly this high
Touch the sky
There are no boundaries, no limits
When you are riding on the wings of a song
They've always told me to slow down
I have tried, but I can't live a lie
An emotional whirlwind
Sweeping through my mind
Now I am reaching for heaven
Leaving you all behing
My heart is pure and my mind is so clear
Soaring so high, I'm free of all fear
I never knew I could fly this high
Touch the sky
[SOLO]
An eruption of violent fury
Can't live a lie, my heart is in flames
There are no boundaries, no limits
When you follow the voices of your soul
An emotional whirlwind
Sweeping through my mind
Now I am reaching for heaven
Leaving you all behing
My heart is pure and my mind is so clear
Soaring so high, I'm free of all fear
I never knew I could fly this high
Touch the sky
6. Hounds Of Hell
See the world the way I do
Through the eyes of a bitter truth
Fear will shoot through your soul.
You raise your cup and drink their blood
You've gained the power, but you've lost your soul
Oh, what have you done?
Can you feel their breath?
Like ice down your spine
They are here
Hounds of hell, sniffing your heals
Now there's nowhere to hide
No escape for you
You know you're doomed
You're going to die
[SOLO]
Cast away your chains and run
The battle for your life's began
Don't ever look back.
You can hear the hideous cries
They're getting close, you know they're near
Oh, they'll tear you apart
Can you feel their breath?
Like ice down your spine
They are here
Hounds of hell, sniffing your heals
Now there's nowhere to hide
No escape for you
You know you're doomed
You're going to die
[SOLO]
Hounds of hell, sniffing your heals
Now there's nowhere to hide
No escape for you
You know you're doomed
You're going to die
7. Twilight Of My Mind
In the twilight of my mind
The twisted shadows of my past swell
Chanting, pleading and commanding me
Whispering me poisoned wisdom in my ears
Faceless creatures crawling
I can't take this pain
All this struggling- oh it was in vain
It happens in the twilight of my mind
It happens in the twilight of my mind
Tormented thoughts, they roam my soul
Digging holes of anguish in my mind
Eyes of fire, wishing I were dead
The shadows laughing all the tears I shed
Faceless creatures crawling
I can't take this pain
All this struggling- oh it was in vain
It happens in the twilight of my mind
It happens in the twilight of my mind
[SOLO]
Faceless creatures crawling
I can't take this pain
All this struggling- oh it was in vain
It happened in the twilight of my mind
It happened in the twilight of my mind
8. Holy Ground
In to the realm of a perpetual sleep I go
Riding on a dream
Where the wings of chaos reign forever more
Logic can't prevail- oh no
I feel a power rising
Deep in my soul
This is the final quest
This is my gold
Now I'm on holy ground
Enlightened I stand at the shrine
Two hearts joined as one
Death must pass, 'cause love can't die
Into the abyss of forgotten fears I fall
Screaming out your name
Where the flames of anguish burn forever more
My sanity, it is at sake
I feel a power rising
Deep in my soul
This is the final quest
This is my gold
Now I'm on holy ground
Enlightened I stand at the shrine
Two hearts joined as one
Death must pass, 'cause love can't die
[SOLO]
Nightmares coming true
Through purgatory fires
I will walk for you
Now I'm on holy ground
Enlightened I stand at the shrine
Two hearts joined as one
Death must pass, 'cause love can't die
Now I'm on holy ground
Enlightened I stand at the shrine
Two hearts joined as one
Death must pass, 'cause love can't die
9. Curse Of Pharaoh
Trapped in this man-made cave
Forever it may see,
Every crack, every stone
Is known to me
Sentenced to die
The everlasting death
Alive, but not living
I dwell in here
Born
Four thousand years ago
Through Egypt I've roamed
Son of the Nile
My soul is burning
With hate for all mankind
Through the depths of time
Now the mortal fools
Has let me out of here
The time has come
Revenge is mine
Born
Four thousand years ago
Through Egypt I've roamed
Son of the Nile
Vengeance
At last will be mine
I'll tear your souls apart
Now you will die
[SOLO]
Born
Four thousand years ago
Through Egypt I've roamed
Son of the Nile
Vengeance
At last will be mine
I'll tear your souls apart
Now you will die
10. Land Of Forgotten Dreams
As a child I was running free
Like a leaf in the wind
The days seemed endless
No worries then
There was no ball and no chain
I look back on those days with a yearning in my heart
Land of forgotten dreams
As we grow older, our hearts turn cold
We're no longer running free
Live our lives in captivity
Now we're chained to the ground
But I look back on those days with a yearning in my heart
Land of forgotten dreams
[SOLO]
As a child I was running free
Like a leaf in the wind
The days seemed endless
No worries then
There was no ball and no chain
I look back on those days with a yearning in my heart
Land of forgotten dreams
Land of forgotten dreams
11. Burn In Hell
Constantly live in fear
Of committing sin or having doubts
The devil is always here
Trying to tempt our mortal souls
So many questions left to ask
So many answers yet to find
I want to know just what they hide
And for this I'll burn in hell
Burn in hell
Demons are riding your soul
You're thinking thoughts you can't control
Desire's a plague in your mind
Nowhere to run- nowhere to hide
So many questions left to ask
So many answers yet to find
I want to know just what they hide
And for this I'll burn in hell
Burn in hell
[SOLO]
Burn in Hell
Burn in Hell
