2. From The Cradle To The Grave

There is a window out of pain
but the grief will come again
swallow all the light and steal the sleep

I'll never see the day to t |

Десятый альбом Rage. Группа поменяла стилистику, причём очень серьёзно. Раньше они играли хэви-пауэр, сейчас же они перешли на сифмо-хэви, и от старого Rage здесь не так уж и много. Скорость также сошла на нет, практически все песни едва переваливают за отметку «средний темп». Исключение составляют “Sign Of Heaven” и “Over And Over”. Но очень сильно повысился уровень мелодики в песнях. Я думаю, за это надо благодарить Кристиана Вольффа. Он продюсировал альбом, исполнил все партии клавишных и руководил записью оркестра. Хотя как благодарить, многие не поняли этого альбома и, более того, возненавидели Rage. Очень зря. Я сначала тоже не очень полюбил сей диск, но я подумал: «Не может Rage записать плохой альбом». Переслушав данный релиз несколько раз, я пришёл к выводу, что альбом не так уж и плох. Просто в него нужно вникнуть. Вот мне повезло, я вник и по достоинству оценил перемены. А некоторые любят Rage только в его хэви-пауэр проявлении и, тем самым, лишают себя возможности послушать и насладиться грамотной и красивой музыкой. И ещё. Обычно я не упоминаю про кавер-версии, но тут другое дело. Песня Rolling Stones “Paint It Black” звучит очень классно и, я думаю, не хуже оригинала. Я сначала даже не знал, что это кавер. Уж больно песня хороша! Очень грустная, спокойная баллада, да ещё в оркестровой обработке – это сильно!
Вывод: диск получился очень и очень неплохим. Но явно видно, что группе не хватает опыта, иногда бывает слишком много оркестра, а иногда его не хватает. Но это всё придирки, не способные снизить оценку.
P.S. Возможно, некоторые спросят: «Почему это он пишет, что альбом десятый, а называется он “Тринадцать”? » Дело в том, что это десятый НОМЕРНОЙ альбом, а тринадцатый он только с учётом самого первого альбома “Prayers Of Steel” (который группа выпустила в 1985 году ещё под маркой Avenger), юбилейного сборника неиздававшихся вещей “Ten Years In Rage” и сборника оркестровых перепевок самих себя “Lingua Mortis”. Вот такая арифметика!

Замечательное творение!!! Я глубоко проникся этим диском, в нём есть что-то такое что захватывает и влечёт сквозь пространство всей музыки... как буд-то ты внутри её...
Этот альбом вышел в апреле 1998 года, впечатление создаётся такое, что этот альбом вобрал в себя всё самое лучшее, что только можно было взять из творчества RAGE, тяжелый и в тоже время мелодичный, украшенный классическими аранжировками и в тоже время довольно агрессивный, лирика стала более оптимистичной и этот факт даже затронул музыку, как? - послушайте композицию "Turn The Page" на мой взгляд эта вещь станет очередной поворотной страницей в творчестве коллектива, но поживём - увидим...

Рага остаются рагами. В музыкальном плане то же, что и во всех предидущих альбомах. Симфонизма в произведениях немного и чувствуется что группе очень нехватает опыта в качестве записи с симфоническим оркестром. Приятная музыка, но несколько по спокойнее чем предидущие релизы 90-х. |

Мамма... Какое уродство, какое откровенное желание быть на волне
моды и
популярности... Как могли опуститься ребята, после работ конца 80-х...
Как они старались записать гениальное творение, да еще и с
симфоническим оркестром и их жалкие потугименя только все больше
раздражали, а до конца диска
я так и не смог дослушать. Выкинутые деньги. |

There was a time to play my cards
drown my anchor in the hearts
find the tracks to love and get the tricks to shove
I never found a way to make it here to stay
My world is a dark and out of touch
I'm left alone a bit too much
What you see is what you get
but when you can't there's nothing left
I'll miss it from the cradle to the grave
My world is full of mortal scenes
that blind my eyes and steal my dreams
What you see is what you get
but when you can't there's nothing left
I'll miss it from the cradle to the grave
My world is a dark and out of touch
I'm left alone a bit too much
What You see is what you get
but when you can't there's nothing left
My world is full of mortal scenes
that blind my eyes and steal my dreams
I can't see or feel it yet
and as I can't there's nothing left
I'll miss it from the cradle to the grave
I'll miss it from the cradle to the grave
I'll miss you from the cradle to the grave....
3. Days Of December
[Music & Lyrics by P.Wagner]
The clouds have prepared for rain and storm
The chill of the wind has frozen all the pain
I know in my room it's dry and warm
but i cann't stand to scan the walls in vain
White and Wonderful the show covers my hair
I reached out but you're not there
In the days of December
I'm lonly ever since you're gone
In the night I remember
Your frozen hands that kept me warm
In the days of December
I've never seen sense in future plans
I know that the time will make it up somehow
But god how i miss you, there's no words
to tell you how it looks inside myself now
Cold and Beautiful
your vision in the ice
I reache out but you're not there
In the days of December
I'm lonly ever since you're gone
In the night I remember
Your frozen hands that kept me warm
In the days of December
4. Sign Of Heaven
[Music & Lyrics by P.Wagner]
I've been waiting for an invitation
couldn't leave my selfmade reservation
I had locked the doors and threw the key away
There was nothing but my own reflection
and the phone was silent, no connection
I was turning just in circles with no end
All that I had, it was gone, it was dead
But now my night is surrounded by light
This nust be a sign of heaven, a sign of heaven
the nightmare's over
As the winter left the frozen places
and the mirror smiled at lonely face
The my leaves they started slowly reached out
Now your laughter echoes in the silence
and your waters wash the dirt from my hands
as we harvest all the fruits that come our way
All that I had, it was gone, it was dead
But now my night is surrounded by light
This nust be a sign of heaven, a sign of heaven
the nightmare's over
There was nothing but my own reflection
I was turning just in circles with no end...
5. Incomplete
[Music by P.Wagner, C. Wolff, Lyrics by P.Wagner]
Here I am still I try to find out where I'm really now
What has been I have laid it down forgotten on a shelf
An old pair of shoes I've grown out
There's never enough to take when you're
running away from emptiness
My days seem like wasted. I'm incomplete
I'm grieving, believe in the change in me
I'm lost alone and incomplete
Now You're gone, I send my spirit out to
wander all the time
And my flesh, it is waiting for a time to be realised
All in one's hand , a touch at least
Confusion, nothing real
I'm lost without, I feel I'm almost gone
My days seem like wasted. I'm incomplete
I'm grieving, believe in the change in me
I'm lost alone and incomplete
6. Turn The Page
[Music & Lyrics by P.Wagner]
Time will come when you fell down
Everything you had is gone
and whatever you had thought you'd really need
is meaningless, you turn around
caught by light a distant sound
like a creature that is drawn into the flame
Turn the page and face another day
on that stage that you're supposed to stay
Turn tha page and fill it up with life
I won't sigh when time will turn the page
You're alone during the stay
Company can share your way
but they'll never ever make it really close
to the core, to the beyond
What's in store on from this point
will surprisingly be scaring joyful pain
Turn the page and face another day
Take your time cause something's on the way
Turn the page and fill it up with life
And don't sigh when time will turn the page
On these tracks we walk, we've got a choice
Be aware. I'll be your voice...
Time will come you're down
everything you had is gone
And whatever you had thought you'd really need
is meaningless, you turn around
caught by light a distant sound
like a creature that is drawn into the flame
Turn the page and face another day
on that stage that you're supposed to stay
Turn tha page and fill it up with life
I won't sigh when time will turn the page
7. HeartBlood
[Music & Lyrics by P.Wagner]
On a dusty windinf roadm luck is not for free
If you did like you were told, you will never see
Just give me your heartblood...
Can it be a sin to speak in the tonque of freedom?
You will only win if you try the best to be you
Just give me your heartblood...
Warfare in a sick society
Out there dive it all or leave it be
No fear! What do you mean - security?
Who cares about you? You'll only hear
Give me your heartblood...
8. Over And Over
[Music by P. Wagner, S. Efthimiadis, S.Fischer, Lyrics by P.Wagner]
Once our eyes stare hollow in to nothing
our fingers clutching helpless in the void
Then our skulls won't tell about our past lifes
rich or poor, we're gonna be destroyed
Nothing gonna save us from death, leave it all behind
and our gathering, it was all invain
Over and over again
building up castles of sand
Over and over again
all for a kingdom of sand in your hands
Bankers, beggans, soldiers, priests and sinners
leadres, losers, all will be the same
if you keep your millions on accountings
nothinf you will take out from this game
And in your last hideway that's kept far underground
you'll share your remains gust with the worms
Over and over again
building up castles of sand
Over and over again
all for a kingdom of sand in your hands
9. In Vain (I Won't Go Down)
[Music by P.Wagner, C. Wolff, Lyrics by P.Wagner]
This is my life and I won't compromise or waste my time
All I have done I did on purpose 'cause I want it to do
if I was wrong I'm very sorry but this happens when you try
sometimes you cann't forsee how things are working out
and what it's about...
if it all was in vain I won't sigh for a single day
I'll do it again and again
If it was in vain I will wait for another time
I swear. I won't go down again
And if I doubt I might have failed even before the day is done
how can I know if I don't dare?
Am I allowed do it twice if I don't make it at first time?
Then I will learn from my mistakes and I'll do right
haven't I try...?
if it all was in vain I won't sigh for a single day
I'll do it again and again
If it was in vain I will wait for another time
I swear. I won't go down again
I know you know that we can
We hold the key in our hands
to make it better, then it wasn't all in vain.
10. Immortal Sin
[Music & Lyrics by P.Wagner]
So sweet and defenceless
offeres all to my dependence
Just relax your spirit
we're all alone
Tied up in the darkness
you've forgotten you existance
waiting for the fire
and what's to come
Lost imaginations
coming back to scare the body
GOing down in fever
drawn to the flame
A sweet pain to cut the indifference
a forbidden love to come
You're immortal, you're immortal sin
Coming from behind you
feel the fingers reaching higher
Crawling on the floor
you won't get away
So sweet and dependet
I will offer my demands
So just relax your spirit
we're all alone
And you know you shouldn't walk this way
but you never want to hear
You're immortal, you're immortal sin
Now you're gone too far...
11. Paint It Black
[Music & Lyrics by M.Jagger and K.Richard]
[orig. by Rolling Stones]
12. Another Wasted Day
[Music by P. Wagner, S.Fischer, Lyrics by P.Wagner]
See these people like me, living in this dirty place
Feel this depression in these streets that lame the brain
It kills the will that drives me on
'Cause where'a no hope all power's gone
Why Am I here? A senseless birth
I'm not afraid to leave this earth
Heal these hollow eyes that keep on starting at these walls
Fill the empty space that's in these heads where chaos crawls
'Cause from the mud there comes disease
A new born hate disturbs the peace
A fatal end to all my grief
I've lost my pride, my self belief
I get my food from an unknown hand
I did nothing for it, understand
Still I'm waiting for a reason that could make a difference
But this is just another wasted day
Give me something to rely on, I don't know where I'am going
This is just another wasted day
Hear the voiceless calling in a world of noisy gear
Find the answer for a human child why it is here
'Cause from the mud there comes disease
A new born hate disturbs the peace
A fatal end to all my grief
I've lost my pride, my self belief
Not only out of work, we're out of all
it seems this world's for all of us too small
13. Just Alone
[Music by P. Wagner, S. Efthimiadis, S.Fischer, Lyrics by P.Wagner]
They lowered my body in a dark hole
the dry ground now covers my remains
I stood at their side and watched them crying
They can't know their tears they are in vain
All four winds together driving me forever
I'm not lost, I'm just alone
I can see, I can hear, I can be, be forevermore...
All four winds together driving me forever
I'm not lost, I'm just alone
Where shall I be in this demension?
Where are the others I await?
is this existence mean forever?
is there a door that leds away?
All four winds together driving me forever
I'm not lost, I'm just alone
Nailed to a cross of isolation
My punishment is I'm all alone
Just alone, alone...
14. Tom Sawyer
[Bonus track]
[Rush cover]
A modern-day warrior
Mean mean stride,
Today's Tom Sawyer
Mean mean pride.
Though his mind is not for rent,
Don't put him down as arrogant.
His reserve, a quiet defense,
Riding out the day's events.
The river
And what you say about his company
Is what you say about society.
Catch the mist, catch the myth
Catch the mystery, catch the drift.
The world is, the world is,
Love and life are deep,
Maybe as his eyes are wide.
Today's Tom Sawyer,
He gets high on you,
And the space he invades
He gets by on you.
No, his mind is not for rent
To any god or government.
Always hopeful, yet discontent,
He knows changes aren't permanent,
But change is.
And what you say about his company
Is what you say about society.
Catch the witness, catch the wit,
Catch the spirit, catch the spit.
The world is, the world is,
Love and life are deep,
Maybe as his skies are wide.
Exit the warrior,
Today's Tom Sawyer,
He gets high on you,
And the energy you trade,
He gets right on to the friction of the day
