The Talisman - Iron Maiden

 The Talisman

Iron Maiden


Lyrics:

When I stand and look about the port And contemplate my life,

Will I ever see my countrymen again?

As the captain calls us on the deck I take my things and walk

to the harbourside, I glance back one last time

 

Fleeing our nation, our problems we leave behind

Ships by the tenfold sail out on the tide

We are pleased to be out and embracing the open sea

Free from our troubles and more free from thee

 

Inheritors unfulfilled reason behind us.

We flee from what is not what is will be.

We flee the earth and face our harsh reality.

Will death be low mist that hangs on the sea?

 

We run from the evil tongues, rash judgements, selfish men

Never to be seen on these shores again.

As we sail into oceansize and lose sight of all land

A face of contentment around in the air

 

We're off now to seek all our fortunes to the land

Of our dreams

 

Riding the waves and the storm is upon us.

The winds lash the sails but the ropes keep them tight

Off in the distance a dark cloud approaching

None could imagine what there was to come

 

No, there's no one going back

No, there's not a second chance

As we strap onto the side

We pray to God that we won't die

 

As we ride the rough seas, as we soak from the ocean waves,

I just hope for all our lives and pray that I survive

Four ships are lost in the stormy conditions

The spirits of the sunken crews, their phantoms follow us

 

Spirits, sails, they drive us on

Through the all consuming waves

Cold mortality, no weapon

Against these ever raging seas

 

Four leagues and ten and we hit storms again

We just can't get away from the eye of the storm

The birds outsoar the raging storm but we cannot escape it

Abandoned earth that we now crave is many leagues from safe

 

Holding on for our dear lives

And we're praying once again

rotten luck or just jonahed?

The talisman is in my hand

 

Limbs fatigues, trembling with cold

Blinded from the sea spray salt

Clasping anything we can hold

Heaven's rain upon us falls

 

Twenty days without a meal

And ten without fresh water still

Those that didn't die in storms

The scurvy rest did slaughter

 

Westwards the tide

westwards we sail on

Westwards the tide

Sail by the talisman

 

We approach the other side of the ocean with the tide

In our favour just for once welcome greeting our new land

The elation in our hearts the excitement in our veins

As we sail towards the coastline of our golden promised land

 

Weary limbs fatigued away,

I have no life left in me

No more strength and nothing left to give

must find the will to live

 

Never thought that we could make it

truly sight of shores divine

the sickness I am dying from,

never wanted it to end this way

 

Westwards the tide

Westwards we sail on

westwards the tide

Sail by the talisman

 

Westwards the tide

Westwards we sail on

westwards the tide

Sail by the talisman

Letra:

Cuando me paro y observo el puerto y contemplo mi vida,

¿Veré a mis compatriotas de nuevo?

Mientras el capitán nos llama a la cubierta, tomo mis cosas y voy

Doy un último vistazo al muelle.

 

Huyendo de una nación, nuestros problemas quedan detrás.

Los casi diez barcos zarpan sobre la marea.

Estamos complacidos de salir y abrazar el mar abierto.

Libres de nuestros problemas y más libres de ti.

 

Detrás nuestro las razones infundadas de los herederos.

Huimos de lo que no es y de lo que será.

Abandonamos la tierra y encaramos nuestra dura realidad

¿Será la muerte la baja bruma que cuelga sobre el mar?

 

Huimos de lenguas malvadas, juicios temerarios y hombres egoístas

Para nunca volver a ser vistos en estas orillas.

Mientras navegamos mar adentro y perdemos de vista la tierra,

La cara de felicidad se siente en el aire.

 

Salimos ahora a buscar nuestros tesoros, a la tierra

De nuestros sueños...

 

Montando las olas y la tormenta está sobre nosotros.

Los vientos latiguean las velas pero las cuerdas las sujetan fuerte.

Afuera en la distancia una nube negra se acerca,

Nadie imaginaba lo que traería.

 

No, no hay forma de volver.

No, no hay otra oportunidad.

Mientras nos atamos a los lados,

Rogamos a Dios no morir.

 

Mientras montamos los duros mares, mientras nos empapamos con las olas

Me esperanzo en nuestras vidas y rezo para sobrevivir.

Cuatro naves se pierden en las condiciones tormentosas.

Los espíritus de las tripulaciones hundidas, los fantasmas nos siguen.

 

Velas fantasmales nos conducen

Por las olas que todo lo consumen.

Fría mortalidad, sin arma

Contra este rabioso mar.

 

Cuatro leguas y diez, y enfrentamos tormentas de nuevo.

Simplemente no podemos salir del ojo de la tormenta.

Los pájaros remontan la fuerte tormenta pero nosotros no podemos escapar.

Abandonamos la tierra que ahora ansiamos en muchas leguas para estar a salvo.

 

Aferrándonos a nuestras queridas vidas,

Y rezamos una vez más.

Mala suerte o sólo Johaned,

El talismán está en mis manos.

 

Extremidades fatigadas temblando de frío,

Cegados por la niebla salina del mar.

Aferrándonos a cualquier cosa,

Nos cae la lluvia del cielo.

 

Veinte días sin comida,

Y diez sin agua fresca aún.

Aquéllos que no murieron en la tormenta,

El escorbuto masacra al resto.

 

Hacia el oeste la marea

Hacia el oeste seguimos navegando

Hacia el oeste la marea

Navegamos por el talismán

 

Nos acercamos al otro lado del océano con la marea

Por única vez de nuestra parte, damos la bienvenida a nuestra nueva tierra.

El júbilo en nuestros corazones, la excitación en nuestras venas.

Mientras navegamos las orillas de nuestra dorada tierra prometida.

 

Extremidades fatigadas por el cansancio.

No me queda vida dentro.

No más fuerza, nada más para dar,

Debo encontrar la voluntad de vivir.

 

Nunca pensé que podríamos lograr

La vista verdadera de las orillas divinas.

La enfermedad de la que estoy muriendo.

Nunca quise que terminara de esta manera.

 

Hacia el oeste la marea

Hacia el oeste seguimos navegando

Hacia el oeste la marea

Navegamos por el talismán

 

Hacia el oeste la marea

Hacia el oeste seguimos navegando

Hacia el oeste la marea

Navegamos por el talismán

Zombies Ate My Pirate Ship - Alestorm

Zombies Ate My Pirate Ship Alestorm Lyrics: In the dead of night We hear the sound of thunder Undead fiends arise To terrorize and plunder Crawling through the sea A dendrophagic horde Our ship's no longer safe The zombies have just climbed aboard! Bloodlust in their eyes Our boat is their prize A feast for the dead Devouring the ship and inside of our heads Far across the sea Zombies wait for me Craving brains and treasure It's their destiny Til my dying day Hear these words I say Zombies ate my pirate ship I will make them pay Yo ho yo ho yo ho yo ho (Those Zombies ate my pirate ship) Yo ho yo ho yo ho yo ho (They are a bunch of undead pricks) Yo ho yo ho yo ho yo ho (I'll smash their face in with a brick) Yo ho yo ho yo ho yo ho (Those Zombies ate my pirate ship) Centuries ago The prophecy was written So the story goes The grimmest and the true frostbitten Druids made a pact That zombie ...

Portable Door - Deep Purple

 Portable Door Deep Purple Lyrics: When it came to me one day in Jerksville Man, I was right on the edge That jacket's too small for a man of your size And those socks are too big for your head   My eyes glaze at whatever you say But I'm listening, do tell me more It goes under the bridge, right over my head And out through my portable door   I was trapped in a dire situation Between reason and someone-in-law The winner takes all and runs off with the ball Nothing could pleasure me more   Times were, I'd have spoken my piece For a minute or two held the floor But I can't get a word in so here I am hurtling Right out through my portable door   The jabbering's hurting my brain cell so bad For once in my life I am bored The public house beckons, I follow the call And slip in through my portable door   The unlikely event came upon me I wasn't prepared for the shock Once round my neck and twice round ...

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  ------------------------------------------...
