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.

Invaders - Iron Maiden

Invaders Iron Maiden Lyrics: Longboats have been sighted the evidence of war has begun Many Nordic fighting men their swords and shields all gleam in the sun Call to arms defend yourselves get ready to stand and fight for your lives Judgement day has come around so be prepared don't run stand your ground They're coming in from the sea they've come the enemy beneath the blazing sun the battle has to be won Invaders ... Pillaging Invaders ... Looting Set ablaze the campfires alert the other men from inland Warning must be given there's not enough men here for a stand The Vikings are too many too powerful to take on our own We must have reinforcements we cannot fight this battle alone They're coming over the hill they've come to attack they're coming in for the kill there's no turning back Invaders ... Fighting Invaders ... Marauding Axes grind and maces clash as wounded fighters fall to the ground Severed li...

Still of The Night - Whitesnake

Still Of The Night Whitesnake Lyrics: In the still of the night I hear the wolf howl, honey Sniffing around your door In the still of the night I feel my heart beating heavy Telling me I gotta have more In the shadow of night I see the full moon rise Telling me what's in store My heart start aching My body start a shaking And I can't take no more Now I just wanna get close to you An' taste your love so sweet And I just wanna make love to you Feel your body heat In the still of the night In the still of the night Over here baby In the heat of the day , I hang my head down low And hide my face from the sun Through the light of the day Until the evening time I'm waiting for the night to come In the still of the night In the cool moonlight I feel heart is aching In the still of the night Tell me here baby! In the still of the night I hear the wolf howl, honey Sniffing around your door ...

Since You've Been Gone - Rainbow

Since You've Been Gone Rainbow Lyrics:   I get the same old dreams same time everynight Fall to the ground and I wake up So I get out of bed, put on my shoes and in my head Thoughts fly back to the breakup These four wall are closing in Look at the fix you put me in Since you been gone Since you been gone I'm out of my head can't take it Could I be wrong But since you been gone You cast your spell so break it Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh Since you been gone So in the night I stand beneath the backstreet light I read the words that you sent to me I can take the afternoon, the night time comes around too soon You can't know what you mean to me Your poison letter, your telegram Just goes to show you don't give a damn Since you been gone Since you been gone I'm out of my head can't take it Could I be wrong But since you been gone You cast your spell so break it Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh Since you been gone If you will come back ...
