Mindfar - "The Eye Of Ra" (lyric video)
(the Prophet)
Hear me, hear me,
people of the sand,
let me tell you
of the one who wears the mask,
one of many deceivers,
centuries of godlike tyrants.
Your offerings are made to
temples full of hoax and lies.
Listen, people,
time to arise!
I'm gonna tell you
It is time to break the chains
of superstitious slavery.
Your king's just greed and violence,
a vision in deep desert,
a golden light to blind your eyes.
Don't prey the jester, don't call him god,
don't build his glory with your own blood.
(the Dictator)
Who's the fool under my sun?
Who's the preacher? Who's the one?
They're my servants, they're my sons,
they need my guide to sail in time.
In eternal night I am their only light.
(the Messiah)
Unbeliever! Damn this one!
Don't tell gods how to choose a son!
Men, be faithful, save your souls,
there's no sky to ask for peace
when god is peace and god has been denied.
(the Prophet)
Don't prey the jester, don't call him god,
don't build his glory with your own blood.
(the Dictator, the Messiah)
What will enlighten the deepest dark
when you will blind the Eye of Ra?
Children of the Nile,
born in a dry land,
by the will of god,
from the tears he shed.
Sons of the divine,
dust we're in his hand.
Don't provoke his wrath,
praise him, do not stand.
(the Dictator, the Messiah)
Face me, sinner, challenge god,
prove my power, spill my blood!
Let me see how brave you are!
Anubi's waiting, place your heart,
contemplate me and be prepared to die.
(the Prophet)
Don't you fear him,
look at his face!
Is this blood, here,
flowing out of his veins?
Time to choose new divinity,
save from decay your future.
Stand up and pray no longer
'cause the time has come to rise!
(the Dictator, the Messiah)
What will enlighten the deepest dark
when you will blind the Eye of Ra?
(Chorus, the Prophet)
Children of the Nile,
born in a dry land,
could it be that god
never saw this sand?
Sons of the divine?
Slaves of a false myth?
Just behind that mask
the truth is at hand.
(the Sailor)
Listen to the Prophet, the words he said,
leave onto the dunes the chains of faith.
Rise against the power, see his face,
tear down the walls and build a new age.
(the Dictator, the Messiah)
Don't believe the liar,
Don't you waste this reign.
The fool is simply leading you in centuries of pain.
(the Prophet)
Follow me, follow your destiny,
fulfill the fate, be the right race.
Not a god,
only flesh and blood.
Not a god,
only flesh and blood.
Not a god,
only flesh and blood...
(the Prophet)
Since that fire many centuries are gone.
Humankind keeps on turning on the wheel of time.
They're about to reach the sky but they...
they don't even know how to fly.

Οι Mindfar δημιουργήθηκαν προ πενταετίας στην Ιταλία. Ουσιαστικά πρόκειται για το solo project του κιθαρίστα Armando De Angelis. Προ τετραετίας κυκλοφόρησε το ντεμπούτο των Mindfar υπό τον τίτλο "The Dark Tower". Ακολούθησε single υπό τον τίτλο "The Shadow Out Of Time" (το 2019) με στίχους εμπνευσμένους από την ομότιτλη νουβέλα του H.P. Lovecraft. Η νέα Metal Opera της μπάντας του Armando De Angelis φέρει τον τίτλο "Prophet of Astral Gods" και "βγήκε" στα τελειώματα του χειμώνα. Μαζί του μία πληθώρα τραγουδιστών, η οποία ερμηνεύει τους ρόλους του μουσικού έργου...
Δελτίο τύπου: «“Eye of Ra” is the second single taken from “Prophet of the Astral Gods”, the latest album by Mindfar, available on CD and all major digital platforms for streaming and purchase. After 4 years since their first album “The Dark Tower”, the metal opera led by Armando De Angelis is back with its second album ‘Prophet of the Astral Gods’, an original story between Sci-Fi and historical fiction about the evolution of humanity, with an amazing international cast of singers and guest musicians.»
Bio: «As the main project of the italian composer and guitarist Armando De Angelis, Mindfar has the ambition to create complex musical journeys through the land of imagination, willing to find the right sound for the right stories. Taking the start from a solid progressive-power metal base, the project draws influences from classical, melodic rock, pop and much more, in a range as wide as its mastermind's love for music. Inspired by literature, cinema, historical events or entirely original stories, Mindfar's projects are mostly what you can call "rock operas", tales told by different voices on the wind of a powerful music.»
