静と動を司る『北欧の暗黒神』
Ghost of Perdition / OPETH
北欧のメタルが大好きだ。
その代表格、OPETH。
初期はいわゆるプログレとデス系のいいとこどりをした、
比較的オーソドックスな曲を作っていたイメージだったが、
近年はより複雑且つ静動の激しさが増してきている。
合間合間にリディアンチックな北欧を感じさせつつ、
独自のメタルに昇華させた美しすぎる精神世界は、
人々を虜にさせる。
まるで神が合わられたかのような、
圧倒的なサウンド。
その神は、裁きの神にも救いの神にも見える。
Ghost Of Perdition
Artist: Opeth
Ghost of Mother
Lingering death
Ghost on Mother's bed
Black strands on the pillow
Contour of her health
Twisted face upon the head
Ghost of perdition
Stuck in her chest
A warning no one read
Tragic friendship
Called inside the fog, uh
Pouring venom, brew deceiving
Devil cracked the earthly shell
Foretold she was the one
Blew hope into the room and said:
"You have to live before you die young"
Devil cracked the earthly shell
Foretold she was the one
Blew hope into the room and said:
"You have to live before you die young"
Uh, holding her down
Channeling darkness
Hemlock for the gods
Fading resistance
Draining the weakness
Penetrating inner light
Road into the dark unaware
Winding ever higher
Ha ya ya ya ya ya

Ha ya ya ya ya ya

Ha ya ya ya ya ya

Darkness by her side
Spoke and passed her by
Dedicated hunter
Waits to pull us under
Rose up to its call
In his arms she'd fall
Mother light received
A faithful servant's free
In time the hissing of her sanity
Faded out her voice and soiled her name
Like torn-out pages in a diary
Everything seemed clean that is unstained
Incoherent talk of ordinary days
Why would we really need to live?
Decide what's clear and what's within a haze
What you should take and what to give
Uhh!
Ghost of perdition
Saint's premonition's unclear
Keeper of holy hordes
Keeper of holy whores, uhh!
To see a beloved son
In despair of what's to come
If one cut the source of the flow
And everything would change
Would conviction fall
In the shadow of the righteous?
The phantasm of your mind
Might be calling you to go
Defying the forgotten morals
Where the victim is the prey
Ha!
Ha
Ha ya ya ya ya ya
Ha
Ha ya ya ya ya ya
Ha
Ha ya ya ya ya ya
Ha
Ha ya ya ya ya ya
Ha ya ya ya
Ha ya ya ya
Ha ya ya ya
