Royal Hunt - 'Thorn in My Heart' (single version)
"It is easier to forgive an enemy than to forgive a friend"
William Blake
A day like this you can't erase, you can't dismiss a Judas kiss
Got caught off-guard: betrayed and permanently scarred, it hit so hard
May the bridge you burn behind you kind light your way
May your sin remain and let you live another day
while you're fading away
Here we are: on the edge, ready to slide down this slippery ledge
Go ahead, play your part: leave me alone with my pain -
this thorn in my heart
A pointless war, no clue on what you're fighting for but keeping score
I guess you've won. As everything's been said and done - alright, I'm gone
May the bridge you burn behind you kindly light your way
May your sin remain and let you live another day
Here we are: on the edge, ready to slide down this slippery ledge
Go ahead, play your part: twisting this thorn in my heart
Every smile, every tear - Fake as they come - are concealing a sneer
Go ahead, play your part, leave me alone with my pain -
this thorn in my heart
The time has come to figure out which side you're on: it's now or never
I'll leave behind this silent crowd forever

Για την δυστοπία μας τραγουδούν οι Royal Hunt (και) στον πλέον πρόσφατο τους δίσκο και το κάνουν με... έξι τραγουδιστές (τον D.C. Cooper και τους καλεσμένους Mark Boals, Mats Levén, Henrik Brockmann, Kenny Lübcke, Alexandra Andersen)!
Πρόκειται για το δεύτερο μέρος, την φυσική συνέχεια και την ολοκλήρωση του δίσκου "Dystopia" (το πρώτο μέρος είχε "βγει" προ τριετίας) και κυκλοφόρησε τον περασμένο Οκτώβριο...

Δελτίο τύπου: «Royal Hunt released their new studio album - “Dystopia. Part 2” – on October 26th, 2022 via King Records (Japan / SE Asia) and on October 28th via NorthPoint Productions (EU/N & S America).
The second and final part of the concept will again feature guest performers: Mats Leven (TSO, Skyblood, Vandenberg), Mark Boals (Y.J. Malmsteen, Ring of Fire, Royal Hunt), Henrik Brockman (Royal Hunt, Evil Masquerade, N´Tribe), Kenny Lubcke (Narita, Zoser Mez) and Alexandra Andersen (Royal Hunt, JSP).
“Dystopia - Part 2” will be released in following formats: regular CD, various Deluxe editions/bundles and a gatefold, heavy vinyl double LP (availability date pending).
Royal Hunt keep expanding their trademark sound and, as the story which inspired the project -Ray Bradbury's classic novel “Fahrenheit 451”- gets more intense towards the end, the music turns into more dynamic, heavier direction.
Once again the guest singers add even more dramatic contrasts to an already cinematic yet solidly rocking soundscape. Simply a “must have” for any symfo / prog / power fan out there!»
