Хороший альбом.


Disbeliever (25.04.2005 13:51:22)
Score: 7.5 of 10
Хороший альбом. Немного пресный, какой-то плоский, несколько примитивный и все таки хороший. Но я не буду его сравнивать с теми альбомами, которым ставлю десятки. Это как разные планеты.


попсятник (25.04.2005 11:42:04)
Score: 8.5 of 10
Отличные мелодии, превосходная игра. Всё очень даже душевно. Лучший альбом Стратовариус.
Поначалу поставил аж 10, но переслушал, и понял, что очень погорячился.

LYRICA:


STRATOVARIUS 1997 =VISIONS= 61:06

All music by Tolkki. All lyrics by Kotipelto,except * by Tolkki.

1.THE KISS OF JUDAS
I hear footsteps dosing in recognizing them from my early daze
the times are different the image remains the same
repeating backflashes remembering the name
Approaching visions of things I can't recall
a familiar smile awakens the pain
Unkept promises the night awaits the act of confidence the kiss of Judas
I feel the lips on my cheek the kiss of Judas haunts me once again
In your private chamber you're all alone
the well earned silver pieces falling to the Floor
the flame of the candle casting movement to the wall
your eyes filled with guilt keep standing at the door

2.BLACK DIAMOND
Again I see you standing there watching me
your gaze, those eyes are tantalizing openly
Inviting me to get close to you can't help myself
there's fascination in the air
I try to fight this strong sensation
but there's no chance to escape from this temptation
feels like I've known you before repeating phrases
but I yearn for something more
I know I can't stay by your side forever
but I know I won't forget your beauty black diamond

3.FOREVER FREE
They try to give me answers to questions I've never asked
I'll have no part in their conspiracy I guess I am the kind of
guy that will never stray the thing I need is privacy some guiding, depriving
misleading and combining they're watching our every move
They can try to bind our arms but they can't chain our minds or hearts
we will keep our faith inside our souls
and never let it go - we are forever free
You see them making headlines new pictures tell old stories
explaining what they have said and done media's new illusion
creating more confusion but I know that they'll soon be gone

4.BEFORE THE WINTER *
Before the summer turns to winter before the dreams will turn to snow
I see the yellow leaves are falling are soon I know I have to go
But I'll be back before the summer next year you're in my arms again
the winter breeze will send my message it will keep you warm until then
The path to home is long and winding
I'll keep the flame alive for you until I an back
you and I will walk that road together I'll show that all the dreams are true
if you only let them be before the winter

5.LEGIONS *
Far in the core of the Earth first it was given birth
we heard the call the message was so dear
the tracks were laid for the future to come
Sons and daughters of the Rising sun the armies in Europe here we come
we run like the wind we play from the heart now we are here together we sing
Faster than light higher than the sky tonight we're together again
never give up and never give in stronger than steel we're the legions of the
Twilight
We survived the hard times never accepted the lies
you run like the wind you sing from the heart
now that we're here together we'll sing
Faster than light higher than the sky tonight we're together again
never give up and never give in stronger than steel we're the legions of the
Twilight
Chorus
Raise your hands for us!

6.THE ABYSS OF YOUR EYES
I feel like i'm drowning trying to catch my breath
don't know what is happening there's no sense of time
Deep underneath my skin feeling the pain within hear my cry
I feel drawn towards you can't resist I don't know why
My life is changing I cannot recall
Where I've been before - the abyss of your eyes
meaning so much more, am I losing my mind
The sun don't shine but your eyes light my way
I've found what I've been searching for my love won't go astray
Deep underneath my skin feeling the pain within hear my cry
I feel drawn towards you can't resist I don't know why
My life is changing I cannot recall
Where I've been before - the abyss of your eyes
meaning so much more, am I losing my mind
so many years my drifting heart was wandered around
don't turn on me please won't stay by my side
My life is changing I cannot recall
Where I've been before - the abyss of your eyes
meaning so much more, am I losing my mind

7.HOLY LIGHT
/Instrumental/

8.PARADISE
Late at night I find myself again wondering and watching TV
I can't believe what's on the screen something that I wouldn't like to see
Many rare species will perish soon and we'll be short on food
Why do we have to be so selfish we've got to change our attitude
I know what I am not tha only one that's worried
why don't we all wake up and realize
Like the birds in the sky we're flying so high
without making any kind of sacrifice we've got so little time
to undo this crime or we'll lose our paradise
It seems to me that there's no sense at all
nobody cares it's always the same mother nature's crying out in pain
I know we're the ones to blame

9.COMING HOME *
I wake up in the morning so far away from home
trying to make it through the day many miles are between us
I'm sending my love from this payphone
Through the storms we've wondered many mountains we have climbed
but all the bad times are behind the road is free - I'm coming home
without you I am like a ship without its sails calling the wind to save me
I'd climb the highest mountain I'd cross the seven seas
just to see your smile again
All the trust that was built along the years is coming back to stay I know
just look ahead the road is free I'm coming home
With every step I'm closer to home when I'm back you won't be alone
soon I'll see the familiar door before my eyes and you

10.VISIONS (SOUTHERN CROSS) *
I have seen the future of mankind the wisdom of my prophecies you'll find
follow the truth and be careful are we the last?
Hundred years has passed what have we done inconceivable damage under the sun
I think it's too late to change the man - we are the last
The World keeps turning while people yearn for more
Mother nature is crying for a change
the time will come when we all must pay for that
we have done are you prepared for that? As we are reaching the end
of the century there's a message we can send
be strong and bold and never lose your mind cause we are the last
Signs of the end I see let them hear my voice in every corner of the world
take heed of the warnings that I give
I have seen the southern cross turning in the sky
"There shall be heard in the air the noise of
weapons and and in the same year the divines shall
be enemies they shall unjustly put down the holy
laws and by thunder and war true believers shall die"
Nostradamus: Century IV:43
"For forty years the rainbow shall not appear for
forty years it shall be seen every day the parched
earth shall wax drier every day and a great flood when it shall appear"
Nostradamus: Century I:17
After us the road goes on forever many changes lie along the path
that's the price we pay for our selfishness we are headed for the end
"From the skies that shall come the powerful kind
before and after the Mars reigns at will not far
from the great age of Millenium, buried ones shall come out of their graves"
Nostradamus: Century X:72,74
When the comt tears out the sky you and I must die
after all this the time will come for the chosen ones
to rise from their graves to be free again
The beast is gone forever there's no more pain
instead so many things for us to attain
the sun is shining brightly after the rain
the land is green and full of life again
The sorrows wiped away now it's time to smile
and learn from the past together we will try
"Twenty years of reign of the moon having past
seven thousand years another shall hold his
monarchy when the sun shall resume his days
past then is fulfilled and ends my prophecy"
Nostradamus: Century I:48
