英语摇滚歌曲:Amorphis - Godlike Machine

金属:Amorphis - Godlike Machine


相关介绍 ：来自芬兰的 Amorphis 於 1990 年成立，乐队早期所玩的乐风是 Doom¹ 味极重的 Death Metal，带有 Old School Death Metal 及民谣旋律的成份，他们的 Tales From The Thousand Lakes 被推举为一张极成功的 Melodic² Doom/Death 大碟。乐队由 Elegy³ 开始，成员有变动，乐风亦有所改变，续渐地弃用了死腔，风格走向 Gothic Metal 路线， 不过，Amorphis 的音乐质素没有变坏，只与他们的乐队名 Amorphis (Amorphous) 一样，不断的改变，乐队的歌曲亦反映了他们深受六七十年代的乐队映响，歌曲旋律除具民谣感外，亦带有迷幻或 Progressive 的成份，仍然保留了一流的编曲及歌词.

歌词 ：

Song ：Godlike Machine
Artist ：Amorphis

To a strange land,
Land of Pohjola
I took my gift, I received it from the gods

I melted the knowledge of heaven
From the pieces of my heart I built a golden mill

I made the heavens, I delivered them
I gave the horn of plenty, released them

My king sold me to the northland queen
I forged and gave her a godlike machine
It wasn't enough for the queen of liars
To the river of death I also was sent, I was sent


The field of death I furrowed
I turned the soil black with steaming viper blood

In a forest deep underground
I hunted a wolf and a bear from the shadow

I was offered death as prize for my great deeds
False words from the tongue of the northland queen

My king sold me to the northland queen
I forged and gave her a godlike machine
It wasn't enough for the queen of liars
To the river of death I also was sent, I was sent

A heart turned unto me

She whispered the knowledge of gods

And gave the missing words of wisdom

To me, a creator of heavens

My king sold me to the northland queen
I forged and gave her a godlike machine
It wasn't enough for the queen of liars
To the river of death I also was sent, I was sent

A heart turned unto me
