Angel Witch - Gorgon

La canzone di questa settimana, nel nostro appuntamento squisitamente aperiodico, è del sano heavy metal britannico, anche detto New Wave of British Heavy Metal. Quel "new wave", appunto, indica l'esplosiva diffusione di un nuovo modo di suonare nei primi anni '80. Senza stare a farvi la storia del rock, parliamo di gruppi come Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Diamond Head e altri, fra cui gli Angel Witch.

La canzone che vi propongo è Gorgon ed è dedicata a tutte le gorgoni lì fuori!

Can you hear the voice

Of a thousand years ago

The laughter of the gorgon

A female that brings doom

Don't look her in the eyes

Or you'll turn to stone

Don't let her deceive you

If you sense her don't look 'round

Or you'll find that she will lead you

And you'll be buried in the ground

You may gaze at her reflection

In still waters of the lake

But don't look at her directly

Or death will be your fate

Beware of her at all times

Her serpents of hypnosis

More evil than the devil

Can kill you with her eyes

You have to get rid of her

The only way I know

Creep up behind with an axe

And decapitate with one blow

I can see you're all confused

And you feel you're being used

And now your heart is broken

So I watched as he set out

And without a doubt

He did as I advised him

You could hear the breaking of her bones

As the axe went through her neck

Didn't realise at the time

That he killed the one that he loves
