[Verse 1: Tobias Sammet, Tobias Sammet & Choir]
You feel a draught crawl up the cliff from a frayed sea of haze
You look down at the waves as they dance and devour the stones
Pastures in emerald as you're turning around, swaying leaves in the wind
Hear it whisper your name, and the dreams, and the chains, and the woe
[Pre-Chorus: Tobias Sammet, Tobias Sammet & Choir]
Been born down too long, in a wheel you must turn
You blink, you breathe, you wake, you feel
[Chorus: Tobias Sammet, Tobias Sammet & Choir]
There in the distance a spire is dividing the night
Calling you into the dawn light
Carried by spectres: A shape!
What a show! What a sight!
Calling you into the dawn light
[Verse 2: Adrienne Cowan, Adrienne Cowan & Choir]
They say no mortal has еver returned from thе realms in the mist
From across over there, if it's true, will you care in your place?
You, you may find the answer to denial of return
You may trade in your mind, lose your senses inside, and the chains
[Pre-Chorus: Tobias Sammet, Tobias Sammet, Adrienne Cowan, Choir]
You've tried to make sense in a place you don't understand
You're done, you breathe, you shout, you're free
[Chorus: Tobias Sammet & Adrienne Cowan, Choir, Tobias Sammet, Adrienne Cowan]
There in the distance a spire is dividing the night
Calling you into the dawn light
Carried by spectres: A shape!
Avalon! What a sight!
Calling you into the dawn light
Oh, there on the waves, it's only one decision away
Forth to the isle in the mist where no man's ever been
[Chorus: Tobias Sammet, Tobias Sammet & Choir]
There in the distance a spire is dividing the night
Calling you into the dawn light
Carried by spectres: A shape!
What a show! What a sight!
Calling you into the dawn light
[Chorus: Tobias Sammet & Adrienne Cowan, Choir, Adrienne Cowan]
There in the distance a spire is dividing the night
Calling you into the dawn light
Carried by spectres: A shape!
Avalon! What a sight!
Calling you into the dawn light
Oh, there on the waves, it's only one decision away
Forth to the isle in the mist where no man's even been
Calling you into the dawn light
Aš asmeniškai boikotuoju tokius siūlymus ir nebalsuoju už juos (kaip, beje, boikotuoju ir beveik visus koverius, nebent tas koveris kažkoks smarkiai inovatyvus). Bet ne visi kreipia į tai dėmesį ir balsuoja tiesiog už pažįstamą atlikėją.
Dėl Tony Iommi - čia kažkoks jau pattern'as. Priminsiu, kad Scent of Dark, 2021-ais išleista, mūsų tope pasirodė 2025-ais. Beje, išbuvo visas 12 savaičių, buvo pasiekusi pirmą vietą ir užima 46 vietą 2025-ųjų top100-uke. Absurdas.
Įdomu buvo gyvai pajust grupės laikyseną. Kokia visgi tai gotikinė grupė… Ėjau klausytis As I Die, o teko iš naujo perkratyti diskografiją. Vien dėl to verta dalyvauti koncertuose, nes privačiam patyrime gali paaiškėti, kad esi aklojoje zonoje.
