| The Undiscovered Land
by a long way we came there
and we kept our eyes peeled
we believed in our blueprint
drawn by the slipstream of time without end
not once we saw the falcon rising
not once we saw horizons clear
and again we hear the ocean rushing
with all the questions at hand wi |

После посещения московского концерта Edenbrigde весной этого года особого желания слушать их концертный альбом у меня не возникало. Большинство присутствовавших тогда сошлись во мнении, что австрийцы – группа чисто клубного уровня, а вечно смущенная вокалистка Сабине и безуспешно пытающийся казаться героем гитары Ланвалл вызывали у собравшихся скорее сочувствие, чем энтузиазм. Трек-лист “A Livetime In Eden” практически идентичен московскому концерту, но, к счастью, альбом производит значительно лучшее впечатление. Возможно, дело в том, что в Европе перед выходом на сцену группе не приходится решать проблемы вроде отсутствия заявленных в райдере предметов оборудования, а может, в том, что компакт-диск не предусматривает возможности созерцать физиономии вышеупомянутых музыкантов, и слушатель может сконцентрироваться на материале и игре музыкантов. Что ж, играть и петь Edenbrigde умеют, в этом я никогда не сомневался. Да и материала на достойный концертник у них вполне хватает – группа может похвастаться как отличными скоростными боевиками вроде “Starlight Reverie” или “Perennial Dreams”, так и красивыми эпиками вроде “Arcana”. Что делали с «живым» материалом в студии, история умалчивает, но “A Livetime In Eden” звучит почти так же чисто, как студийные альбомы Edenbridge, и при этом заметно выигрывает в тяжести и энергетике. Один лишь минус – атмосферу наивного детского волшебства, всегда являвшуюся главным достоинством Edenbrigde, воспроизводить на концертах ребята пока не научились.

heavenward we keep on flying
in the lap of the gods where we are
the legend, the key
the solar sea
binds you forever
once in a blue moon this moment
on these boundless traces we move
the cosmic array
won`t lead us astray
and we still demand
the undiscovered land
we felt the narrow bounds within us
the lurking unknown in the dark
still we`re searching for the purple passage
pink of perfection in hearts still so pure
here and now
by our sacred vow
we will prevail
Skyward
the challenge to raise
made our hearts all ablaze
cleared our daring ideas moved our will
the prime mover in us all
will force us that we recall
believing in powers of dreams
astral skies
follow your ardent eyes
and leave your earthborn presence
to your paradise
skyward i stare
and i am aware
your dreams will lead you to aphelion
loud as a whisper leaving infinity behind
the journey will start in your mind
the ghost of a chance
this alluring romance
the refulgance of light near at hand
weigh your memories in gold
and hidden powers will unfold
igniting the fire inside
skyward rising
so revel in brightest remembrance and see
skyward we go i can see
a fragrant surprise
a sight for sore eyes
hold on to your dreams and rise
skyward i stare...
Holy Fire
I remember a past life, a life long ago
memories are reveries
and visions fading into gray
I behold the paleness, with the glimpse of an eye
there's no friend in no man's land
streets leading to wild frontiers
let the torchlight shine above you
scan a flashlight of a dream
take the spell and hold the spirit of the flame
and rise up with the light
holy fire, glimmering eve
follow traces until you believe
light a candle for the magical ring
and wait until you see the night's breaking in
am I walking the false path, the one of no return
counting strides the mind divides
the ever-turning wheel of time
then I'm crossing the border, beyond the no man's land
lizard eyes and painted skies
the turning point right on my way
Fly On A Rainbow Dream
fly, forever fly along
let your wings just breathe the air tonight
to foreign skies fly on a rainbow dream
she's straying from reality
her imagination leaves her mind
like a falcon she is passing her old home
she's calling the spirits up there
she's freeing herself from clandestine eyes
awaiting brightened skies
I will bring this dream to you believe
I will lead you everywhere
fly, fly on a rainbow dream
just glide into the gleaming sky
eternally away from staring eyes
fly, forever fly along
let your wings just breathe the air tonight
to foreign skies fly on a rainbow dream
she enters horizons unseen
away from the whispers of the night
in a reverie she's heading on and on
she's passing elysian fields
ascending on wings of a glorious ride
she feels the falcon's pride
is it stardust of time
in these pictures of infinity?
all the memories appearing one by one
are reflections in me
fly, fly, fly
spread your wings and touch the sky
(high), high, high
one more time I face the falcon eye to eye
before the rainbow's fading
then gold is at the end
right on your dream through time
forevermore, fly on a rainbow dream
Forever Shine On
in my darkest hour I pray
for a life seemed gone astray
see a flower grow
in a never ending night
far away a colored light
I can see a rainbow rise
I could believe
in the love I found so long
you're the air that I breathe
let us dream a dream
forever shine on
in the haven of delight
where love will shine a light
let your beauty flow
forever shine on
in the distance I behold
existing seems so cold
I hear an angel sing
in the evening glow I seek
for a glimmering mountain's peak imagining
I was free
like a candle in the wind
we are fragile and we suffer
from within our deepest hearts
let the wind breeze through your hair
and let your spirit fly
forever shine on
Starlight Reverie
facing the constellations high above the sky
if I could fly along and sway the milky way
when venus has its row, great bear and polar star
I see them dimming from afar, is's so bizarre
starry sky
so come by
forgotten traces so nigh
your beauty repeals the laws of time
my stralight reverie
in my sparkling eyes
just take me through the grand bright moonlight night
your eyes can only see
what your heart truely feels
then it is time to turn and flee
into my starlight reverie
see tails of comets glowing in the outer sphere
red giants in their spectral light, tonight
the solar system of orion there appears
lightyears away from mother earth, a star's birth
Perennial Dreams
how could i ever see
this blueprint of reality
spoiling for a fight i left no stone unturned
for ever and one day
the gale force in my heart will stay
and i don`t care a straw about the lessons learned
free i can hear this haunting melody
ever since the spirits rose in me
the shadows of darkness
or the light of the world
leaving those energetic streams
a soldier of fortune
or a fancier at all
keeping on for perennial dreams
will this tide ever turn
before my restless heart will burn
the elfstruck time elapses to the eventide
it is a game of skill
and it is playing with your will
the floatlight marks the harbour there it is my guide
the spangled heaven`s gleam
a neverending stream
will arise in my perennial dream
The Final Curtain
an outcast of victorian society
a crying jag since long-gone childhood days
the dream to be an albatross
with alabaster wings
to be flying
before the last bell rings
the crushing arms of loneliness embracing still
the sear and yellow leaf is drawing near
this jaded heart escaping from the shadowplay
what is the measure of a man?
and the price that we all pay
the final curtain falls
none of the orchestra will play
the stageplay life will hold
the freakshow at the fair
is there a straw in bursting dalles
will someone care?
the looking glass, deceiver of reality
the try of make-believe in who we are
and the hiding in the mists of night will never end
but a graceful heart prevails
and the meaning of a friend
mesmerized, hypnotized
the audience touched to tears
pay a visit, take a look
so that the conscience clears
the final curtain falls
none of the orchestra will play
the stageplay life will hold
the freakshow at the fair
there is a straw in bursting dalles
someone will care
Suspiria
in the shades of night this phalanx is our home
we're hanging on a string we're waiting
below electric skies in times of need we call
she is taking care she loves us all
do dark horses dream of cybertronic sheep?
do we fear she's laying back to sleep?
ancient suspiria
save our prayers give us a sign tonight
illusions can deceive
but we're dying when you leave
lead us into the light
in a night like this it all seems so obscure
between the walls of dust and velvet dreams
behind this plastic moon reality can be
the sweetest moment of our lone damned colony
where is the final end?
save our holy land
your appearance is a mystery
suspiria
shining in energy
suspiria
guide our colony
suspiria
our virgin godess of a thousand souls
suspiria
where is the final end?
suspiria
save our holy land
suspiria
your appearance is a mystery
Arcana
here where the dream of eden waits
the rivers running easy
in their valleys they are slumbering
there the mysteries reveal
by the clearness I can feel
and an island in the stream appears before my eyes
I am hunting lonesome traces in the sand
and someone speaks my name from far away
the ruins of yesterday will disappear
I will reach for the sources of light
as we are all finding our new hemisphere
I am turning just yearning to feel
feel your dreams, don't toss them away
ancient myth arcana, elysian seas of time
the stones of wisdom shine again, the moonlight hides the rhyme
in long gone days of yore, one thousand years before
the odyssey was in our dreams, arcana we explore
here I can feel the inner flame
could forget what we became
and the false mirages can't deceive, deceive me no more
I am facing countless shadows in despair
but I won't follow them into the gloomy calm aside of light
thorns of roses that I feel, secrecy under the seal
hear the tolling of the bell, bring me under your spell
see the mysteries in twilight they're turning away
from darkness to light (into infinity)
here where the dreams of eden's near
leaving to a distant sphere
to elysian seas of time we ride
I am longing for infinity
arcana, arcana
tonight this journey seals my fate
far beyond the open gate
to the secret places never seen before
for this final odyssey into
arcana, arcana
Sunrise In Eden / My Last Step Beyond
along the banks of astral silence
the honey rivers flow
time seems standing still before my eyes
the velvet sound of the ocean waves
white sand underneath
in the land of eternity
the old bridge tells a story
of long gone centuries
and the garden of a king far away
the palms around they whisper
the sacred holy rhymes
to keep legends alive
endless the night, awaiting the morning
awakened by a dream
the moon touches the sky
while a light catches my eye, I'm beholding
the stars seem to shine more intensive than ever
enlighting the path in the dark
and then the horizon is visible for me
I'm breathing
the heartbeat of the paradise to feel
sunrise in eden
and aurora greets the day
wishing afterglow away
to let the magic kingdom shine in light
an endless flow in elysian fields
sunrise in eden
and I'm holding on once more
to the moments I long for
to the ageless beauty of a world that sleeps
the edge of the abyss, where the journeys end
visible crossroads, where mortal lives will bend
the moment of truth, the calm before the storm
the camouflage of liars, abruptly will be torn
at the end of the tunnel, I'm awaiting the truth
through the misty twilight, perhaps eternal youth
do I feel the pale void, do I feel the seventh sky?
when life runs like a movie, as the time goes by
do I fly, do I cry, do I see the light?
in blinding colors, does it shine so bright
can I flee, can I see, can I be something new?
when the clock strikes the hour, I'm transcending into...
heading for a new land, beyond the fading sun
thoughts dwell in my mind, the journey has begun
the vision it seems so clear, but does it pretend?
traveling souls in riot, the beginning or the end?
the howling of the sirens, I don't hear 'em no more
walls of fears been torn, if we knew why thunders roar
dancing the dance at the carnival of dreams
the aim of restless travelers is where the beacon beams
and here I am walking in silence, making my steps beyond
beyond the afterglow, in a constant flow of light
the rainbow seems so near, finally I am here
the guardian angels, they're calling my name
an astral dream in the sky?
they're dancing at the carnival of souls
they dance into the light, into eternal light
I'm singing the tune in unison with angels
in the key of lordian harmony
the journey has an end
I'm waiting in command
never to contend... in the end
Cheyenne Spirit
out in the prairie, the bison dared to roam
the crying of a lone shot claimed they're forever gone
high in the breezing winds, an eagle dared to fly
for the white man's sake the covenant was just a lie
out in the flowing streams the beaver dared to build
the never-ending ignorance, the paleface's guilt
a single tent was left, lonesome in the woods
when the cannons spoke the words
murderers took off the hoods
for all times rise
cheyenne spirit rise
by the grace of all your wisdom
in the hunting grounds it flies
chase the track and ride free
eternal unity
let the flutes play for a last time
ban the white man's tyranny
and they came riding with their hate
and marching with their greed
external territories
served their senseless need
but they stood tall in their own fate
they knew their bloody way
along the line of fire
into the grand decay
