Númenor - 'Damned For All Time' (Blind Guardian cover)

(Lead: André)

Conquer the whole world to satisfy
their lust for pain and terror
disguise their faces to hide them
in the dark determination

The oath on the runestaff
is the highest
the ruin of a nation
step by step
destiny
(Lead: André)

Damned for all Time - but what's time?
Tales of the one who's born to change

And as the earth was old and cold
she closed her eyes and fell to sleep
violation ruled the world
the dark kingdom's time

He's called Hawkmoon wearing a sign
black jewel in his head
he's the one who's forever there
he's born a thousand times

Ref.:
Damned for all Time
in every age he existed
Damned for all Time
in every future he'll live
for all Time he's crying
he's crying

Hey strange one I know
you're standing there
the faces are they mine?
Are you out there?
Watch out for the day, friend
I'll know your name
hear my laughter

Oblivion - who's blowing the horn
Oblivion - who's killing the gods

Ref.: Damned...

(Solo: André)

Dark kingdom's lost now
no pain storms the land
strange things are happening
changing of all planes
in the universe by a mad magican
to conquer the power of his magic
a place where truth waits must
be found Tanelorn
(Lead: André)

Damned for all Time - who am I?
Once I've been called Erekose

I was Elric - I'll be Corum
I'm the prince of the south ice
Now I'm nothing
wait for someone
wait for Ilian
No ! I'm Hawkmoon

Oblivion - the war is eternal
Oblivion - the battle is endless

Ref.: Damned...

Númenor, ένα ακόμη συγκρότημα με όνομα εμπνευσμένο από τον κόσμο που δημιούργησε ο J.R.R. Tolkien. Μας έρχονται από την Σερβία κι αρέσκονται στο πομπώδες / συμφωνικό power metal με black metal "πινελιές" (κυρίως στα φωνητικά), αν κι η μπάντα "υπογράφει απλά ως "Epic Power Metal". "Sword and Sorcery Metal" αποκαλούν το μουσικό τους ύφος.

Έχουν κυκλοφορήσει τέσσερις "ολοκληρωμένους" δίσκους (με πλέον πρόσφατο το album "Draconian Age" που "βγήκε" πέρυσι), τέσσερα EPs, τρία singles και δύο split (μαζί με τους Forlorn Wisp το ένα και με τους Advent Sorrow το άλλο).

Στην παρούσα ανάρτηση θα τους ακούσουμε να διασκευάζουν το τραγούδι των Blind Guardian "Damned For All Time" (το οποίο μας γυρίζει πίσω στο 1989 και στον δίσκο "Follow the Blind") από το tribute album στους Γερμανούς power metallers "Tales From the Edge of Time" που είναι προ των πυλών...
