Abdul auch vertont, hier die beiden Texte: album: "Time" (1994) The Mad Arab [PART ONE: THE VISION] The son of a shepherd, Abdul AlhazredTravelling in the mountains, the mountains to the eastOne night before him, there stood that giant rock3 symbols carved in blood He built a fire at its rootTo protect him from the wolves... The Mad Arab... He would understandThe Mad Arab... It was in his hands... Later that same night, awoken by wolfen's cryThe Arab cold with fear, saw the rock began to rise... Rise The son of a shepherd, Abdul AlhazredShivering he saw Them coming, the mountain's evil priestsBlack robes came together, around the floating rock3 symbols in the dark They all started chanting ancient songsIt was prayer in unknown tongue... The Mad Arab... He would understandThe Mad Arab... It was in his hands Daggers held high to the skyThe chanting had turned to screamsFrom the pit where the rock had been8 snake-like monsters cameAnd the symbols burned in redAnd the priests had turned their heads The blood running from their chests and daggersHad the Arab scream in horror... Giving himself away The Mad Arab... He would understandThe Mad Arab... Had to run away Run down that mountain side, oh but they had seen himThe priests had caught his scentRunning faster... They're chasing himCan't go no faster... They're still behindAaaah NO!!!They're closing in... [...TO BE CONTINUED...] album: "Into The Unknown" (1996) Kutulu (The Mad Arab Part Two) Someone better come and save my lifeSomeone better kill those evil eyesIs it in my mind or are they still behindTurning slowly...I see, I see, I see there's no one thereSomeone better tell me what it's all aboutIn the dying fire, moonlight has struck my eyeFeeling colder...I see, I see, I see the amulet of EVILGODS...EVIL GODS Can you hear the voices in my head...Can you hear the voices in my headCan you hear the voices, what they say? KUTULU...KUTULU...KUTULU...KUTULU... Traveling for years in the mountain sideTraveling for years to believe in the signAnd I know them well now, all of the Ancient OnesTurning slowly...I see, I see, I see there's no one thereSomeone must have broken the holy seal'cause I know they're there, just like that fateful nightFeeling colder...I see, I see, I see the amulet of EVILGODS...EVIL GODS Can you hear the voices in my head...Can you hear the voices in my headCan you hear the voices, what they say?

Der Tod Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 Wahrscheinlich kennens eh schon alle, aber ich bin grad erst drüber gestolpert: If you turn and face the strange then the monsters will change into guardians of strength and light. We'll be travelling the spheres of the universe. Unser Herz und Geist sind befreit... " Shake, shake, shake"... until the other side awakes! La, la, la... - we are "the Jugglers of Jusa" (Sopor Aeternus - Feralia Gentiatalia (Arrival Of The Jugglers)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zodiak Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 "At the Mountains of madness" von HP Lovecraft, meines Wissens das erste Lied (Neben White Ship derselben Gruppe) mit direkten Bezug zu einer Mythos-Geschichte: All along there is love we needAll you are we have ???You have lost all sense of touchIn the dark without a crutchYou've arrived at the Mountains of Madness Time has come, you're standing all alonePlastic god, listen to the droneSynthesized electric soundTrembling from undergroundYou've arrived at the Mountains of Madness Don't believe that it's a gameGames like this, my friend, will make you go insaneListen to the sounds, hear them all aroundListen to the sounds, hear them all around Standing thereEyes on fire Standing there, wind blowing through your hairEyes on fire, colour everywhereWhen you gaze into the skyAll alone with no disguiseYou've survived at the Mountains of MadnessYou've survived at the Mountains of Madness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
