The Camera Eye - Rush

The Camera Eye

Rush


Lyrics:
I.
Grim-faced and forbidding,
Their faces closed tight,
An angular mass of New Yorkers
Pacing in rhythm,
Race the oncoming night,
They chase through the streets of Manhattan.
Head-first humanity,
Pause at a light,
Then flow through the streets of the city.

They seem oblivious
To a soft spring rain,
Like an English rain
So light, yet endless
From a leaden sky.

The buildings are lost
In their limitless rise.
My feet catch the pulse
And the purposeful stride.

I feel the sense of possibilities,
I feel the wrench of hard realities.
The focus is sharp in the city.

II.
Wide-angle watcher
On life's ancient tales,
Steeped in the history of London.

Green and grey washes
In a wispy white veil
Mist in the streets of Westminster.
Wistful and weathered,
The pride still prevails,
Alive in the streets of the city.

Are they oblivious
To this quality?
A quality
Of light unique to
Every city's streets.

Pavements may teem
With intense energy,
But the city is calm
In this violent sea.

Letra:
I.
De rostros adustos y severos,
sus rostros bien cerrados,
una masa angular de Neoyorkinos
paseando con ritmo,
corren hacia la noche que se acerca,
persiguen a través de las calles de Manhattan.
Humanidad de cabeza
hace una pausa debido a una luz (de tránsito),
luego fluye a través de la ciudad.

Parecen inmutables
a una suave lluvia de primavera,
como una lluvia inglesa
tan ligera, pero interminable
de un cielo plomizo.

Ya no ven los edificios
en su elevación sin límites.
Mis pies atrapan el pulso
y la zancada resuelta.

Siento el sentido de las posibilidades,
siento el tirón de las duras realidades.
El foco está nítido en la ciudad.

II.
Vigilante de vista panorámica
sobre los cuentos antiguos de la vida
obsesionado con la historia de Londres.

El verde y el gris se lava
en un velo de blanco menudo
neblina en las calles de Westminster.
Melancólico y desgastado,
el orgullo aún se mantiene,
vivo en las calles de la ciudad.

¿No se inmutan
con esta calidad?
Una calidad
de luz única para
las calles de toda ciudad.

Los pavimentos pueden rebosar
de energía intensa,
pero la ciudad está calmada
en este mar violento.

§1 - Opeth

 §1 Opeth Lyrics: Draped in death, the howl of lore Draped in death, the howl of lore   Alas, my time is at an end I have wallowed in self-pity And I confess to you As part of final plight   Draped in death, the howl of lore   This is the last will and testament of father Hear, the last will and testament of father   A syndicates mass in the waiting room Like spiders weave And rumors spread fast above regal tombs Enacted grief   I will here unearth the secrets I've been hiding (hiding, hiding) And guide my children through my trials   Put your trust in my command I thin the blood. I lift my hand   Draped in death, the howl of lore   This is the last will and testament of father Hear, the last will and testament of father   Letra: Cubierto de muerte, el aullido de la tradición   Cubierto de muerte, el aullido de la tradición     Ay, mi tiempo ha llegado...

Lazy Sod - Deep Purple

 Lazy Sod Deep Purple Lyrics: The world’s on fire And I can’t get my arse out of bed The world is on fire There’s smoke all around my head   What was I thinking about when I crashed last night……   The oceans are rising And I can’t do a thing about that So it’s hardly surprising I built an ark for me and my sleek black cat   What was I thinking about when I crashed last night…… Oh yes, turn off the gas and don’t forget to switch off the light   But that’s all right coz I’m a lazy sod and I’m hot Don’t mind me coz I’m a lazy sod, you can like it or not I’m guessing not   What was I thinking about when I crashed last night…… Oh yes, turn off the gas and don’t forget to switch off the light   That’s all right coz I’m a lazy sod and I’m hot, so hot Don’t mind me coz I’m a lazy sod, Whether you like it, like it or not And I’m guessing not Soooo what  ------------------------------------------...

The Alien - Dream Theater

 The Alien Dream Theater Lyrics: Look beyond the Earth, heading set for the stars Interplanetary, some are near, some are far Terraform a new world, survival for mankind Options but a few, we are running out of time   Should you climb aboard A voyage, the first of its kind Ready to explore All that you've known left behind   Our Holy Grail Now redefined Our purpose, a thread Weaving through time Now with the means to expand Life beyond here, digital man   Alien, changed forever New found world in the stars   Understand the meaning Certain we'll extend the scale of consciousness Woman, child and man Multi planet species out amongst the stars Not stuck in and around who and what we are   Time to climb aboard Countdown to takeoff on time Systems are online (5, 4, 3, 2) Farewell to all humankind (1)   Our Holy Grail Clearly defined Our purpose, a thread Weaving through time Now wi...
