Ambeon: Cold metal

Informatie:






















Dit nummer is een eerder, niet uitgebrachte versie. De andere versie staat op het album 'Actual fantasy'.
Arjen deed eens een promotietour door Duitsland en had daar een fijne tijd met Gary Hughes, de zanger van de populaire Britse band Ten. Ze deden samen zelfs een spontaan akoes- tisch live-optreden. Arjen vindt Gary's stem best mooi en ook zal hij nooit vergeten dat Gary zangteksten schreef voor een nummer van Thin Lizzy bij Arjen thuis.
Arjen heeft eigenlijk nooit echt gehouden van de instru- mentale kant van 'Beyond the last horizon' en voelde eigenlijk de behoefte om het nummer eens anders te laten klinken, met een warmere benadering. Daarom heeft Arjen in 2000 deze versie opgenomen die meer georiënteerd is op gitaren en waarbij er een echte drummer is (Stephen van Haestregt, die ook de drums speelt op het album van Ambeon). Direct dacht Arjen aan de stem van Gary, dus daarom stuurde Arjen de tapes snel naar Gary, die het snel weer terugstuurde, inclusief zijn eigen zang. De gitaar solo en synthesizer solo van de oude versie zijn gebleven, maar alle andere instru- menten zijn wel opnieuw opgenomen. Arjen is erg tevreden met het resultaat, vandaar ook dat hij het met al zijn fans wil delen.

Ready for the enemy, hungry for the battle
Fighting hard for victory in the army of the king
Armed with shield and sword, we mounted our horses
Leaving on a sacred quest, on our way to fight the holy war

They attacked from different sides
Hard pressed with numbers
We could not even run nor hide, we had to stand and fight
Then I felt a blade of steel penetrate my armour
I did not dream the pain was real
As I went down I knew my time had come

And then he rode into the night
Towards that eerie distant light that seemed to charm him
Until he came to a road that disappeared
Beyond the last horizon
He knew there'd be no way back
Once he had vanished in the blackness of infinity
And so he gathered all his strength not to descend
Into the valley of death
Into the valley of death

I opened up my weary eyes, the haze slowly lifted
The mighty roar of battle cries stopped ringing in my ears
I gazed upon a friendly face, he carried me to safety
I told him of this frightening place
And of my journey back from the other side

And then he rode into the night
Towards that eerie distant light that seemed to charm him
Until he came to a road that disappeared
Beyond the last horizon
I followed that road to the edge of eternity
He knew there'd be no way back
Once he had vanished in the blackness of infinity
And so he gathered all his strength not to descend
Into the valley of death
Into the valley of death

And then he rode into the night
Towards that eerie distant light that seemed to charm him
A force so seductive and yet so destructive and cruel
Until he came to a road that disappeared
Beyond the last horizon
I followed that road to the edge of eternity
He knew there'd be no way back
Once he had vanished in the blackness of infinity
I fought for my life for I had to survive the ordeal
And so he gathered all his strength not to descend
Into the valley of death

A force so seductive and yet so destructive and cruel
Until he came to a road that disappeared
Beyond the last horizon
I followed that road to the edge of eternity
He knew there'd be no way back
Once he had vanished in the blackness of infinity
I fought for my life for I had to survive the ordeal
And so he gathered all his strength not to descend
Into the valley of death
Into the valley of death
Valley of death
Into the valley of death
