Один из любимых текстов за последнее время (скажем, за 2 года) -- необычная ода обычной деревенской кошке от Иана Андерсона. Как и все его тексты, песня написана в весьма образном ключе, однако в данном случае намеки в достаточной мере приземленны. Лирика ассоциируется с эдакой деревнской пасторалью/буколикой и (также как и все остальные до единой песни с этого альбома) заставляет задуматься: ну отчего я, черт его возьми, городской житель, а не пасу овец где-нибудь в Йоркшире. Следует отметить, что именно в период написания Songs from the Wood/Heavy Horses Иэна переклинило на деревенской жизни на ферме. Оба этих альбома в своей лирике отражают дачно-лесной настрой своего создателя.
[Reveal] Spoiler: "...And The Mouse Police Never Sleeps"
Muscled, black with steel-green eye swishing through the rye grass with thoughts of mouse-and-apple pie. Tail balancing at half-mast. ...And the mouse police never sleeps --- lying in the cherry tree. Savage bed foot-warmer of purest feline ancestry. Look out, little furry folk! He's the all-night working cat. Eats but one in every ten --- leaves the others on the mat. ...And the mouse police never sleeps --- waiting by the cellar door. Window-box town crier; birth and death registrar. With claws that rake a furrow red --- licensed to multilate. From warm milk on a lazy day to dawn patrol on hungry hate. ...No, the mouse police never sleeps --- climbing on the ivy. Windy roof-top weathercock. Warm-blooded night on a cold tile.
Текст на русский адекватно не переводится, потому не буду даже пытаться.
"Two men gaze from behind their prison bars. One man sees dirt, the other sees stars."
Их специально убивали Молоханку им давали, А потом их истязали, Их специально убивали. Их специально убивали, Их раствором обливали А потом воспламеняли, Их специально убивали.
Их специально Их специально Их специально убивали Их специально Их специально Их специально убивали
Их специально убивали, И глаза им вытыкали, А потом в глазницы срали, Их специально убивали. Их специально убивали, Кадыки им вырывали, А потом туда ебали, Их специально убивали.
Их специально убивали, Паутами облепляли И за ними наблюдали, Их специально убивали. Их специально убивали, Руки ноги обрубали, В кочерыжки превращали, Их специально убивали. Их специально убивали, Зубы дрыном вышибали, Глотки ртутью полоскали, Их специально убивали. Их специально убивали, Сифаком их заражали Меж собой совокупляли, Их специально убивали. Их специально убивали, Рты и жопы зашивали, Ноздри калом залепляли, Их специально убивали. Их специально убивали, В унитазы трамбовали, А потом смывали на хуй, Их специально убивали.
"Two men gaze from behind their prison bars. One man sees dirt, the other sees stars."

Twist Kurun Hattin, A knight devout in enacting haditho, Warrior of divine emanation, In the throes of Frankish abandon, Homeland awash with rotten decadence,
Mighty Ayyub! Sultan sculpted from the rock of war Visions of unity under al as-sunnah, Divinity absent from shi atu ali
Reddened steel held aloft in praise Reclamation for the beloved A peace pursued in death, not obtained in life Mounds of Masiheyin dead lay in monument,
A lord risen from the Poitevin Maroh, King in the heart of the world Led astray, blinded by Nasara nor Brought before the peerless Ayyubid
Impoverished golden legions cut down The caddish cruciform blight removed “It is not the want of a king to kill a king…”

На крайнем Трахсуньбляте есть место, которое мне неплохо затащило по крайней мере стилистически (ну и музончик там такой, что лапти сами в пляс несут). Всю остальную поебту я сюда не потащу, там ещё хуже, поэтому вот отрывок.
I am the air; far I shall roam Under the sky in all of its shades. I am fire; long I shall burn To renew the self and temper the blade.
I am water; clear I shall flow To cleanse the self of what sullies the times. I am the earth; firm I shall stand. Hold fast to what shines through from the past.
When you stand among the pine, You stand in a far-stretching line Of all who've stood in rapture here And all who shall in coming year.
For in the wood you are the same As those to come and those who came To root themselves in rapture here And those who shall in coming year.
To sit at Odell's heart and contemplate the times Among the fallen hemlock that rampart on all sides. To sit at Odell's heart and contemplate what's mine; What's mine to give, receive, provide; What's owed me by the times; What the times should give, provide, for all Beneath them to thrive — So we know, like each fleck of snow in the storm, None is alone in this plight.

Решил, в связи грядущем концертом, освежить в памяти буквы Тиамат и таки поймал себя на мысли, что не так уж много мне и нравится. Не, хорошего достаточно (та же "Divided", которую мне завтра два, блядь, мужика напоют), но вот чтобы прям "Ух1" - мало. И самое большое представительство 97-го, как ни странно.
Come down, slowly I'm waiting by your side Come down, carefully I'm waiting by your side
I'll grab you when you fall Down to the waking hours Silent sweeps as golden corn Down to the waking hours
How i wish that I could Break into your dreams Do I have the force I need To break into your dreams
I hold you in my arms Dimmed by scarlet morning red I whisper in your ear "Do you dream of me?"
A Pocket Size Sun
I came so close, so near That I almost got out of my shell When a pink coloured vision did appear A girl with something to sell
The girl offered me a pocket size sun I beheld its innocent smile She said "If you wanna have fun, It will take you to heaven for awhile"
An inch from the blue skies ceiling I was touched by her careful fingertips With the sun we shared our feelings And I finally kissed her ruby lips
She started to sing a lullaby Origined from ancient Senoi "In dream's realm can no one die Sleep safe my little boy"
The sun cut my eyes like a dropblade Drew elseworlds in the sand My memories began to fade And did suddenly slip through my hands
In the sand I found two wonderful shells As Like as two peas And I thought I could hear the sound of bluebells Behind the roaring seven seas...
Teonanacatl
Not far from where I live They glance in morning breeze As dividing tiny rays A morning tries to seize
Greet me my proud little soldiers Of brown, purple and grey Carry us on your shoulders Carry us far away
If you begin to fall Please have some more You could stay at my place if you want I'll sleep on the floor
In shades of purple cloth They guide us to the light With irresistible pride To the feast they us invite
Greet me my proud little soldiers Of brown, purple and grey Carry us on your shoulders Carry us far away
If you begin to fall Please have some more You could stay at my place if you want I'll sleep on the floor
Mount Marilyn
The threne my love that opens now In cattle blood of aery brow Con that life's a dream not to affy As embodied matter love will die
You twinkle still in Argentine When I palmy dout the rapid din To force the mure, the pain I hide As you're not longer by my side
Mazed I helmed this crater deem Stranger than a stranger seems Wished to shroud the sortance leer And yarely wink the eyes of fear
Splay the moon that foolish be And let the sunshine raving me Beyond the love I do behold A ken I saw, a fane of gold
I'd peize in pounds our insane blend And phantom laid a smile I send Eke an ounce of purple fire And fairy eyes no longer twire
Would fain to stalk the colour fields But tickle I shall stark lonely yield Merely in drowning water clay As anguish wears but shades of grey
To retain the chains of elder squire I'd prune the funeral skies denier Once in awhile he still appeals To remind you all it's still for real
Breathing smoke and fire
But the face of evil that haunted us Was never ever present thus The cupid rainbow ties an orb In which every demon shall absorb
Do you think I care? Do you really think I care?
A Deeper Kind Of Slumber
Robin goodfellow Dianae, my muse Morpheus in my heart Your sand in my veins It's a deeper kind of slumber What is universe anyway But a pouch of silver coins The intense breathing Of a dying animal A foreboding of afterlife Master keys in oaken chest The somewhere is mine And from there I'll continue All I asked for was a little love Meet me on the other side Where as a rose I will wake Though blind I'll follow every step you take Dianae, my muse Dianae, my solitude Cease to exist, rise to exist no more It's a deeper kind of slumber
Best Friend Money Can Buy
We drank as much as we could, And she drank more than she should. We stumbled out of this cheap whiskey bar, And that is the story so far.
Guided by the dim streetlights, We walked through the black harbour night. No people, no passing car, Well, that is the story so far.
She thinks she smells the northland snow, (Northland snow) And she`s as glad as I to go, (Ay, to go) Her very bolts are sick for shore, (Sick for shore) And I-- I want it ten times more. (Ten times more)
She silenced her mouth when I asked for her name, She asked me to please do the same. She said it's all written in the stars, And that is the story so far.
But she whispered her name when I kissed her goodbye, Her voice stained by whiskey and tar. She went back to where she belonged, and I-- I went back to the bar...
The Red Of The Morning Sun
I woke up early this morning when the columns of night went pale white The shades of faith disappeared and the sky above you were no longer blue
When did our moon cease to bleed When shall the colours be freed To bring back our gold and to bring back the red of the sun To bring back our gold and to bring back the red of the sun The red of the morning sun
One part of crystal oxygen Two parts of glycerine Three parts of cold spring water To bring back the four river daughters Five steps out of the black room With six six six of gloom, leaving Seven sea shells on the shore Whisper eight nine ten and I wanna hear more
I looked through the prism when colour went away and faded into grey And the sun was still shining in the morning but pale white, so white Is this all we get? Is this all there is?

Чота ржу. В смысле посыл-то неплох, но такой радужный технооптимизм сложно соотносится со стереотипами о субжанре. Ну и формулировки наивные.

Remember when you said that you don’t need me any more Success had finally come your way You smiled and waved at me as you got into your car A gallant knight held the door open
Alice what have you become? You have tumbled from your footing
Three years have passed since then but success abandoned you Your empty gaze stares into infinity What happened to your dreams? The flower has withered on your hair And someone said you want to see me
Like a statue you’ve become that has fallen from its pedestal
Fall, with pleasure I will push you and I won’t be there to help you For all these years I have been dying now I’d like to see you crying Fall, I won’t shed a tear for you, I don’t want and I don’t need you For all these years I have been dying now I’d like to see you crying
I wanna see you fall, I wanna hear you fall, I wanna make you fall
Be Here
You are on your own in your little world And you drift away far away from here
On which cloud can I find you? You have left this life behind You met Jesus under the streetlight I hope you found what you were looking for
I want you to be here, just be here
You have a look on your face As if you don’t know I exist I disappeared from your radar And what you are thinking about, I can only guess
Laying flat on your back You remain lost In this endless dream Will you ever wake up to be with me?
Why aren’t you here, just be here
Brighter Days
Awakened to heavy silence, no sunrise in sight Was that just one more dream that passed me by? Smiling as it waved goodbye "you know how nothing can last" Still we crave for brighter days though we still feel blind
Seems no-one warned us when somehow we'd lose our will The joys of yesterday still seem a perennial breeze But could we carry tomorrow's burdens with dignity? Today, the boundless reach of doubt should set us free
As pilgrims bound to will, our doubt must set us free
Like every fallen star Must wake just once more To arise and shine As it lits the way for the lost
Puppeteered by fate Or free to our paths We'll stand and run again For the ever elusive light.
Live Through Me
If you ever stay awake at nights Agonizing over all these dreams you left behind If you looked back and you found you have never been yourself Did your thoughts go back to me?
Have you ever thought of a future without me? Could there be a life, a happy life somewhere else? If I tumble from a bridge looking at the rainbow Would you roam unchained and free?
A rainbow will appear and you’ll get your chance, you’ll see You will find your way as you are searching in the dark Deep within your soul, a fire slowly burns A sacred shrine, your destiny
You live, live through me You see through my eyes How could you ever be free Until the end will us part?
