To the edge of infinity, an invisible reality
Where the power of thoughts sets me free
On the journey to wonderland

Between two worlds. See the open door in front of
Imagination helps to navigate
Take the next step. Sailing through the sea of time

Letra:

Come to me, Ravenheart
Messenger of evil

You shadow of forgotten dreams
You come to take away
My hope on your black wings

Come to me, Ravenheart
Messenger of evil
Come to me. What's the news?
Here I'm still left lonely

Of love and hate the singers tell
But I feel more, more of both,
More than heaven and hell.
I take a bow to destiny.
Now I have really learnt my part
Once loving him, now hating love
I've made mistakes, my Ravenheart

So come on

Come to me, Ravenheart
Messenger of evil
Come to me. What's the news?
Here I'm still left lonely

Will I get back who I adore?
Thus spoke the raven: nevermore.

Ohhhhh, Ohhhhh, Ohhhh
Ohhhhh, Ohhhhh, Ohhhh

Come on

Come to me, Ravenheart
Messenger of evil
Come to me. What's the news?
Here I'm still left lonely
(2x)

A música que selecionei é Legend Land do EP Legend Land (2006). Enjoy! :)

Letra:

We headed west
To legend land
Up river to
Set feet on soil
Smell morning dew
on stubborn grass
Found grapes and vines
And sweet temptation

Keeps me alive (Keeps me alive)
In my legend land I still feel how close
We are and will be
Legend land a piece you left
A piece of promise and hope

For you and me
Eternity
Appears to me
From Aasgard sent

Shining through
Any time barrier
Like a wild flowers will
To stay alive
To divide the stone
To break through

Legend land I still feel how close
We are and will be
Legend land a piece you left
A piece of promise and hope
In my dreams a Legend land
A piece of promise and hope
in my heart, keeps me alive

Legend land I still feel how close
We are and will be
Legend land a piece you left
A piece of promise and hope

Legend land
We are and will be
Legend land a piece you left
A piece of promise and hope

Trilha sonora: Delain - The Gathering

Boa noite galera! To passando rapidinho aqui no blog só para postar a dica musical de hoje. É a banda de metal gótico/sinfônico dos Países Baixos, Delain com a música The Gathering do seu álbum de estréia Lucidity (2006) que é muitooo massa, apesar de ser considerado um "projeto", contou com a participação de vários músicos do cenário do metal gótico como Liv Kristine, Sharon den Adel, Jan Yrlund, Marco Hietala..só para dar um exemplo! Gosto muito do vocal da Charlotte Wessels. Enjoy! :)

Letra:

The song that angels sing
The spell that calls, The Gathering
The magic that might bring
Eternal life, The Gathering

I see a world in anger
I see a world in pain
Each day a different story
But still the message is the same
Hard news I set beside me
Sweet dreams is what I need
What daylight wants to show me
At night appears to be insane

Will I ask you in?
Should I, will I persuade you?

The song that angels sing
The spell that calls, The Gathering
The magic that might bring
Eternal life, The Gathering

My cards, the ones to choose from
The role they play tonight
Which ones embrace the loved ones?
Which ones will summon for a fight
Show me your precious darling
And I will crush them all
Wave with your blooded sword and
I'll kiss to show I'm not afraid

Will I ask you in?
Should I, will I persuade you?

The song that angels sing
The spell that calls, The Gathering
The magic that might bring
Eternal life, The Gathering
The song that angels sing
The spell that calls, The Gathering
The magic that might bring
Eternal life, The Gathering

Trilha sonora: Krypteria - For You I'll Bring the Devil Down

A dica musical de hoje vem da Alemanha (que eu adoro), a banda de symphonic/gothic power metal Krypteria com a música For You I'll Bring the Devil Down do álbum My Fatal Kiss (2009). A vocalista e pianista da banda, Ji-In Cho, é descendente de coreanos, mas nascida e criada na Alemanha. Enjoy! :)

Letra:

Out of words, searching for better lines to express what's going on inside
All of the good ones must have been used a billion times
Words come hard, I don't know how to start
What I have, really, don't seem too smart
But I just hope you still like it, it's straight from my heart

For you I'll bring the devil down / corona tenebrarum
For you I'll set him up and steal his crown / corona tenebrarum
I'll go to hell and back for you
For you I'll bring the devil down
For you I'll take him on and shut him down
I'll go to hell and back, I'll do
For you I'll bring the devil down

Yes, I know it's quite a thing to say and it just might be some lame cliché
What can I do, it's you who makes me feel this way
By the way, speaking of overused, here's a line that I think has long been due:
Baby, I love you and I'd do anything for you

For you I'll bring the devil down / corona tenebrarum
For you I'll set him up and steal his crown / corona tenebrarum
I'll go to hell and back for you
For you I'll bring the devil down
For you I'll take him on and shut him down
I'll go to hell and back, I'll do
For you I'll bring the devil down

If you talk the talk you've got to walk the walk
I won't back down from what I say
Because of you I feel this way

For you I'll bring the devil down / corona tenebrarum, corona tenebrarum
I'll go to hell and back for you
For you I'll bring the devil down
For you I'll take him on and shut him down
I'll go to hell and back, I'll do
For you I'll bring the devil down

Trilha sonora: Visions of Atlantis - Nothing Left

A dica musical de hoje vem da Áustria, a banda de metal sinfônico/power metal Visions of Atlantis com a música Nothing Left do álbum Trinity (2007), com os vocais da Melissa Ferlaak. Enjoy! :)

Letra:

Words in my head infest my mind
Things you said, but not defined.
Every moment on the run
Up a second, down next one.
Your far away reality
Dry your tears don’t blame it on me.
Inside me there’s nothing left for you.
Don’t say it’s raining
When there’s no cloud in the sky.
Don’t you see sun reflecting in my eyes?

When you’re away light breaks in me,
To end the torment which you caused, life dawns in me,
Don't waste your tears, don't follow me.

No more pain, no disguise
Drive away the serpents in my paradise.
Never care of what you rake,
Always praying for your sake.
See just what you want to see,
Dry your tears don’t blame it on me.

Trilha sonora: Silent Cry - Last Visions

Para comemorar as 100 postagens (uh-huuuuuu) do Blog † Vamp After Dark †, a dica musical de hoje faz menção ao metal sinfônico/doom metal de nossa terrinha Brasilis!!! A excelente banda de Governador Valadares - MG, Silent Cry, com a música Last Visions, incluída no primeiro DVD da banda lançado em 2009, Dark 'N Live. Temos que dar força ao gothic metal nacional!!

Letra:

Through his eyes
I could escape from myself
Please, can you help me?
In the infinite
in my soul... so lonely
I feel his silence
In serene harmony
my soul burns
Let me touch you, let to hear you.
Let me dream in memory of this enigma.
Let me remember forever
His absence makes me feel
the wind screams of pain
And the sadness of traveled roads
in oceans of hope.
A vision... the last desire
in my heart.

Trilha sonora: Kamelot - The Haunting

Como não podia deixar de postar uma música no blog, hoje trago como sugestão a excelente banda americana de symphonic metal/power metal Kamelot, com The Haunting do álbum The Black Halo (2005) tendo a participação nos vocais de Simone Simons da banda Epica que vocês já conhecem. Espero que gostem! Kahn é d++! :)

Letra:

Merely the sound of your voice
Made me believe that, that you were her
Just like the river disturbs my inner peace

Once I believed I could find
Just a trace of her beloved soul
Once I believed she was all
Then she smothered my beliefs

One cold winter's night
I may follow her voice to the river
Leave me for now and forever
Leave while you can

[Chorus]
Somewhere in time
I will find you and haunt you again
Like the wind sweeps the earth
Somewhere in time
When no virtues are left to defend
You fall in deep

I was a liar in every debate
I rule the forces that fueled your hate
When the cold in my heart leaves
It comes to an end
And quietly I'll go to sleep

How could that first time recur
When memories linger on and on
What made me think you were her
Helena is dead to all, dead to all

Nothing can bring her to life
Don't pretend that I'll be loving you
Once I believed she was gone
I'm corrupted from within

Leave, leave me for now and forever,
Leave what you can

[Chorus]
Somewhere in time
I will find you and haunt you again
Like the wind sweeps the earth
Somewhere in time
When no virtues are left to defend
You fall in deep

I was a liar in every debate
I rule the forces that fueled your hate
When the cold in my heart leaves
It comes to an end
And quietly I'll go to sleep

(Ariel)
Follow me into the light
Leave me tonight
I've gone too far to begin all anew
With someone like you

(Marguerite)
Like ice on a lake of tears
I'll take you through
Life fades in
With someone like you

[Chorus]
Somewhere in time
I will find you and love you again
Like the wind sweeps the earth
Somewhere in time
When no virtues are left to defend
You fall in deep

I was a liar in every debate
I rule the forces that fueled your hate
When the cold in my heart leaves
It comes to an end
And quietly I'll go to sleep

Sleep

Trilha sonora: After Forever - Energize me

Finalizando as postagens de hoje, a dica de música do blog é Energize me da banda de metal sinfônico dos Países Baixos After Forever. Essa música é do último álbum da banda, After Forever (2007). Aqui podemos curtir a vocalista da banda, a soprano Floor Jansen cantando muitooo. Pena que em fevereiro desse ano a banda resolveu não mais continuar junta.. :(

Letra:

Energize me with a simple touch or with an open heart
Energize me, fire up this flame that's burning between us

It's not a fantasy, another mistery
It's just what I can feel, it's something I can see
It's like a memory, an inner melody
It's just what we all know and we all hear

I was blind, I was closed down
Could not feel or set it free!

Energize me with a simple touch or with an open heart
Energize me, fire up this flame that's burning between us

It lies in everyone, this whirling energy
It's all around us too, electrifying you
So dare to set it free, this virtue is the key
Just something we all know and we are used

I can feel, it's inside me
Open up, enlighten me!

Energize me with a simple touch or with an open heart
Energize me, fire up this flame that's burning between us
Energize me with a simple smile, open up your mind
Energize me, activate that light that's given and taken

Can you believe in the power that's burning between us?
Would you believe if you open up your mind, open up your heart

Energize me with a simple touch or with an open heart
Energize me, fire up this flame that's burning between us
Energize me with a simple smile, open up your mind
Energize me, fire up this flame that's burning forever

Trilha sonora: Tristania - Beyond the Veil

A sugestão de trilha sonora de hoje é do grupo norueguês de metal sinfônico/doom metal Tristania com a música Beyond the Veil do CD Beyond the Veil (1999) ainda com a Vibeke Stene nos vocais. Enjoy! :)

Letra:
Not fear, nor tears can reach me now
the light seems so clear as the night fades away
Behold of thy flame, below of all shame
Come conquer me sweet dreams of paradise
Dusk drawn hither to my evening star
A glance in thy mirror
The trance of thy mirror
Venus... through the looking glass
Dance so frail and lost in the fields afar
Cast off thy mourning
Clasp life and glory
Venus... through the looking glass
The sense of angels in veils of dawn
Like she runs forever among thy halls
The pale horizons are closing down
The reasons for living are lost somehow
Cross my heart with a glance upon the star of riddance
Drift afar like teardrops on the Stygian River

I'm the nightfall and wizard that summon thee
You're the blizzard that drape my eyes
I'm thy sorrow and vein of obscurity
You're the dagger that cuts

Shivers on the bleak horizon
Profound words... you're my frailty

See the light cease in thy life
Profound words... hurting me

Trilha sonora: Epica - Sensorium

Para finalizar a noite, sugiro como trilha sonora a música Sensorium da banda holandesa de metal sinfônico Epica. A música é do álbum duplo ao vivo The Classical Conspiracy - Live in Mikolc, Hungary (2009)com o vocal da mezzo-soprano Simone Simmons e o vocal gutural de Mark Jansen. Amo essa música!

Letra:

Chance doesn't exist but the path of life is not
Totally so predestined
Time and chronology show us how all should be in
The ways of existence to find out why we are here

Being conscious is a torment
The more we learn is the less we get

No one survives the whole, focus on things so small
But life's objective is to make it meaningful
Only searching for this, that which doesn't exist
Although our ability to relativize remains unclear

Being conscious is a torment
The more we learn is the less we get
Every answer contains a new quest
A quest to nor-existence, a journey with no end

I'm not afraid to die! I'm afraid to be alive without being aware of it

I'm so afraid to, I couldn't stand to
Waste all my energy in things that do not matter anymore

(Our future has already been written by us alone
But we don't grasp the meaning of our programmed course of life
We only fear what comes and smell death every day
Our future has already been wasted by us alone and we just let
It happen and do not worry at all
Our future has already been written by us alone
But we don't grasp the meaning of our programmed course of life
We only fear what comes and smell death every day
Search for the answers that lie beyond)

Being conscious is a torment
The more we learn is the less we get
Every answer contains a new quest
A quest to nor-existence, a journey with no end

Trilha sonora: Within Temptation - Ice Queen

A trilha sonora de hoje é da banda de metal sinfônico dos Países Baixos, Within Temptation com o vocal poderoso da Sharon den Adel cantando a música Ice Queen do CD Mother Earth (2001). Enjoy! :)

Letra:

When leaves have fallen and skies turned into grey
The night keeps on closing in on the day
A nightingale sings his song of farewell
You better hide for her freezing hell

On cold wings she's coming
You better keep moving
For warmth, you'll be longing
Come on just feel it
Don't you see it?
You better believe

When she embraces your heart turns to stone
She comes at night when you are all alone
And when she whispers your blood shall run cold
You better hide before she finds you

Whenever she is raging
She takes all life away
Haven't you seen?
Haven't you seen?
The ruins of our world
Whenever she is raging
She takes all life away
Haven't you seen?
Haven't you seen?
The ruins of our world

She covers the earth with a breathtaking cloak
The sun awakes and melts it away
The world now opens its eyes and sees
The dawning of a new day

On cold wings she's coming
You better keep moving
For warmth, you'll be longing
Come on just feel it
Don't you see it?
You better believe

Whenever she is raging
She takes all life away
Haven't you seen?
Haven't you seen?
The ruins of our world
Whenever she is raging
She takes all life away
Haven't you seen?
Haven't you seen?
The ruins our world
