私の好きなバンド、ドイツのPrimal Fear。ウチの家では妻が「Primal」という時はPrimal Scaremで私が「Primal」というとPrimal Fearなわけ。まぁ省略するなよって話。
Primal Fearの2014年『Delivering the black』の一曲目の「King for a day」。元々好きなストレートなパワーメタル。最近歌詞に妙に感情移入するのよ。
参っちゃうよね。
こういう時メタルって凄いよ。こんな歌詞乗せられるとしたらいいとこオペラくらいよ。
今回歌詞を引用させて頂いたサイトが和訳を嗜む方のようで英語に自信がない、あるいは意訳された日本語訳を読みたい方は是非そっちも。
最近私がなに考えてるかってことそのものだけど。
Can't change the past, the future's unknown
Don't turn your back, you threw the first stone
I gave you love - I give you hate
I've granted all your wishes
I gave you hope - I give you pain
You are the Devil
You've reached the top - you sit on your throne
You're going down and you're going alone
I gave you love - I give you hate
And when your darkness fades away
I gave you hope - I give you pain
You better run
King for a day - it's your carnal desire
King for a day - I will call you a liar
Once there was love, now there is only doubt
Feel the anger taking over my faith
I gave you love - I give you hate
I'm counting all my scars
I gave you hope - I give you pain
Your life is war
When you see your dreams engulfed in flames
You'll see just my smile - there will be no rain
I gave you love - I give you hate
and now it's me against the world
I gave you hope - I give you pain
You better run
King for a day - it's your carnal desire
King for a day - I will call you a liar
King for a day
I've been broken and beat down
King for a day
I am no longer your clown
Don't turn your back, you threw the first stone
I gave you love - I give you hate
I've granted all your wishes
I gave you hope - I give you pain
You are the Devil
You've reached the top - you sit on your throne
You're going down and you're going alone
I gave you love - I give you hate
And when your darkness fades away
I gave you hope - I give you pain
You better run
King for a day - it's your carnal desire
King for a day - I will call you a liar
Once there was love, now there is only doubt
Feel the anger taking over my faith
I gave you love - I give you hate
I'm counting all my scars
I gave you hope - I give you pain
Your life is war
When you see your dreams engulfed in flames
You'll see just my smile - there will be no rain
I gave you love - I give you hate
and now it's me against the world
I gave you hope - I give you pain
You better run
King for a day - it's your carnal desire
King for a day - I will call you a liar
King for a day
I've been broken and beat down
King for a day
I am no longer your clown
