Visions of Atlantis - 'Armada' (official music video)

My army's cutting through the waves - Hail Jolly Roger
Built to send some other souls to the grave
I run a shot across the bow - Hail Jolly Roger
Better pray whatever time will allow

Til the grave I'll lead the fleet
Til my name's a crown on their defeat

To the fight
To the battle that brings their decline
Fight
Til I break through the enemy's line
To the brave, til the grave
Til they all die under my might
No mercy tonight
Armada!

I fear none of these scurvy dogs - Hail Jolly Roger
Neither all their bloody kings or their gods
I'll find a heaven of my own - Hail Jolly Roger
Freedom carved into the wound til the bone

Til the end I'll lead the war
Til they bend more blood will stain the floor

To the fight
To the battle that brings their decline
Fight
Til I break through the enemy's line
To the brave, til the grave
Til they all die under my might
No mercy tonight
Armada!

To the fight
To the battle that brings their decline
Fight
Til I break through the enemy's line
To the brave, til the grave
Til they all die under my

Fight
To the battle that brings their decline
Fight
Til I break through the enemy's line
To the brave, til the grave
Til they all die under my might
No mercy tonight
Armada!

Συνεχίζουν τις (μουσικές) περιηγήσεις τους στον κόσμο των πειρατών οι Visions of Atlantis. Μετά τους δίσκους "Pirates" του 2022 και "A Pirate's Symphony" του 2023 (και να μην ξεχνάμε και το live album του 2023 "Pirates over Wacken") ακολουθεί ο δίσκος "Pirates II - Armada", ο οποίος αναμένεται στα ξεκινήματα του δεύτερου καλοκαιρινού μήνα.

Οι Visions of Atlantis μας έρχονται από την Αυστρία, δημιουργήθηκαν πριν από 29 έτη (τα πέντε πρώτα με άλλο όνομα), μας συστήνονται κάπως έτσι:

We have the power in our hands to go on our own adventures, to face the perils and defeat. We have the confidence to take risks, to trust the universe, to demand and to let go. We don’t remain in our comfort zone.

Each challenge makes us stronger, each mistake helps us learn. We always move forward, we go harder, stronger, we do better. Every time. The power is ours, to rule our lives and fate, to choose the best for ourselves.

...και έχουν κυκλοφορήσει εννέα "ολοκληρωμένους" δίσκους, δύο EPs, τρία live albums, τρία singles και ένα demo.

Δελτίο τύπου: «July 5, 2024; High Seas. A new day of sailing begins, the wind on our side, and the sea speaks of recent battles. The air feels fresh - Hypocrisy, greed, envy - hearts of the old world finally disclose their deluded truth.

Old leaders are losing ground, their lies are getting worse, and darkness creeps in. Each sunny day hides a coming storm, nature testing our strength for the last battle. We’ve become pirates as their counterparts, free-spirited and true at heart.

Navigating storms that try to make us doubt, we see the light in the darkness. The old truth is fading, making room for a new story. Our destiny is in our hands, in our hearts, in every step we take. Reconnecting with ourselves, we touch the essence of life we share with all creatures.

Together, unstoppable, connected to the truth, guided by the sun and storms. We’ll rule the oceans, the mainland, every street, every house, spreading hope. Our pirate cries will last for centuries, with ancestors humming our tunes, our words sung in the new world we create. Our glory will live on forever. United as one force, one army, under a final Armada.”»
