Had the urge. Itchy hands even when I’m sick…
My heart beating alone in the dunes of Earth,
Am I really alive or dead?
Reality so harsh, as heavy as my chains,
I carry forth my sorrow and sins,
My wings shadow me from the despair that I have been fighting with,
The abyss in my heart sinks my memories away into power,
The thorns of misery pierce my burning flesh,
The only one who can save me is myself,
The pain, in time, will be a small pleasure,
The only thing that keeps my heart burning.
Everyone is afraid of the unknown
but I see it as something exciting,
Have I been stolen of my human feelings?
This mortal life is turning from ashes to dust,
Death’s whisper is so close, from a distance his chains knock the floors he walk,
Before I resign to my fate, hear this prayer from me…
“My time on this ground where mortals walk
is finally coming to an end,
If the humans can save themselves,
Then my last wish is granted,
To a land more distant than the stars,
With my chains, I will bear my punishments,
Their hopes and prayers, may it carry through
to the place even higher than the skies.”
Versailles Philharmonic Quintet – ASCENDEAD MASTER
Posted in Commentary on July 1, 2009 by kurozerowingI have only listened to the regular version. Released last Wednesday. The tracks included are:
1. ASCENDEAD MASTER
2.Gekkakou
3.DESCENDANTS OF THE ROSE (Soundtrack)
The first track has a 5.51 time. You get to hear synthetizers and great guitar playing throughout the song. For the religious, I don’t think you will like the lyrics. Somehow, the feel is similar to another one of their songs, Aristocrat’s Symphony.
Gekkakou was written and composed by Hizaki. It is a song with a rather nocturnal feel for the music. The drum beating makes it feel like it’s dark. The screamings are in Latin. This song is unique but a little too short. I was hoping for it to be longer as it is a great track.
The final track is just music. It’s not very bad. I thought with a nice title like that, it’ll be a song but I guess you can’t always expect something to be your way. it’s only about less than 2 minutes, I think.
Conclusion: This being Versailles’ major debut single is really quite nice for a start. Symphonic metal is their genre. A mix of classical and metal rock. Really great. I hope to hear more of this from them. If you don’t like noisy music or fast pace ones, or if you are really religious, I suggest you do not purchase this single but if you want to try out some new bands or whatever, buy it!
