| 1. Devils Station
Can you see them
As they're walking by
Sadness in their eyes
Can you hear them
As they live to lie
The train keeps passing by...Alive!
Among the thousands
Here I'm in my seat
With tracks under my feet
Watch the horizon
Painted with our blood
Conductor's changing gea |

 Ожидая от нового альбома шведов Raise Hell прямолинейного и бескомпромиссного трэша, какой был на первых записях команды, меня постигло, нет, не то, чтобы разочарование, скорее некое удивление. Скорости заметно снизились, они перестали скакать как оголтелые в неведомые дали, зато возросла техника игры и общее содержание – ‘City Of The Damned’ стоит того, чтобы послушать его несколько раз, дабы оценить его действительно так, как он того заслуживает. Комбинация трэшовых и дэтовых рифов, вкупе с несколько болезненным вокалом, указывает лишь на одну, имеющую исключительно свою стилистику, шведскую же команду Morgana Lefay, на которых Raise Hell стали похожи не только по музыке, но и по вокалу. Достаточно послушать первый среднетемповый номер ‘Devil's Station’ или мрачноватый боевик ‘Ghost I Carty’, чтобы провести подобные параллели. Эпитет “мрачный” применимо к описанию любого трека с этой интересной, и почти не имеющий аналогов на сцене, пластинке – ощущение безысходности сквозит буквально в каждой ноте, логично приходя к настоящему гимну отчаяния в песне ‘Rising’. Поверьте на слово, в том, как она спета, нет никакого намека на восход солнца или на какой-то положительный исход – этот трек идеально подошел бы в качестве саундтрека ко второму Бэтману – атмосферу Готтхэм Сити он передает идеальным образом. К сожалению, как и в случае с творчеством Morgana Lefay, оценят эту красоту немногие, большинство лишь недовольно крикнут: ‘Выключи ты эту ерунду, и поставь нам какого-нибудь трэша по-забойнее!’. А жаль… (Диск предоставлен компанией Mystic Empire) |

The devil's station
Tapping out your blood
Drawing near
Getting closer
The dark revelation
Devil's station
Now appears... tonight!
The trip just ended
The mist of crying souls
Now surrounds us all
And as the rusty doors
Cracks and open up
I realize we're here
The devil's station
Tapping out your blood
Drawing near
Getting closer
The dark revelation
Devil's station
Now appears... tonight!
2. City Of The Damned
Just like me and you
They're crawl around in dirt
Discussed by their own souls
Just waiting for it all to end
They're all waiting for the end
The city of the damned
Like zombies they walk
Without words they talk
Waiting for the ride
So they all can ride
To the dark
Where we are safe the cold
It's time to go
To the city of the damned
The damned
To the city of the damned
Like you and me
Without faces they strife
Like hollow skeletons
We walk out last mile
At last...
...at the city of the damned
It's time to go
To the city of the damned
The damned
To the city of the damned
They crawl in dirt
Like zombies waiting for the city
Of the damned
The damned
The damned
The damned
3. Like Clowns We Crawl
While I keep reaching for my soul
You dig in deeper like a virus
We all came crawling from the cold
And now we struggle to survive
You keep on beating while I bleed
I gasp for breath when you are strangling me
So why even bother to go on
Pain will repeat it self again and again
That's why we fall, we fall down
I was made to crawl, I'm a clown
Take what you want and let me out
(Let me out)
I thought I've found my place to rest
But I guess I wasn't made to hide forever
It's a never ending game
So why fight in vain
Little by little I will crack
All my pleasure thoughts turns to black
So final battle's at the edge
Now I am ready to give in
Like clowns we crawl
That's why we fall, we fall down
I was made to crawl, I'm a clown
Take what you want and let me out
That's why we fall, we fall down
I was made to crawl, I'm a clown
Take what you want and let me out
(Let me out)
4. Reaper's Calling
There he waits for the doom
So alone in a store cold room
Chained and scarred he's bleeding for his anger
Set him free
He's the one that will speak your silence
Set him free
He's the one that will lead your vengeance
He's barely breathin'
And now they want his blood
While he speaks for all of you
Absorbs the pain they put him through
And finally he will be free forever
Set him free
He's the one that will speak your silence
Set him free
He's the one that will lead your vengeance
To fade and falling
The reaper's calling
Yesterday's brawling
Takes him down
Set him free
He's the one that will speak your silence
Set him free
He's the one that will lead your vengeance
To fade and falling
The reaper's calling
Yesterday's brawling
Takes him down
To fade and falling
The sinner's crawling
I hear them talking
Of how to make him taste the pain
5. Open Your Mind
Open your eyes, open your mind
Open your eyes... open your mind!
Broken down, deceived by liars
Why do you only fear them at night
Ferry tales of demons and fire
Created by ourselves mankind
We lived as liars since the dawn of belief
World of denial, why is it hard to see
You can't believe it
Self denial
You can't believe it...
Open your eyes
Can't you see they are trying to
Open your mind...
To the unknown
Open your eyes
Can't you see they are trying to
Open your mind...
To the unknown
Open your eyes to the unknown
Open your eyes to the unknown...
Illogical explanation
Look behind the human mind
Where we come to understanding
Of what's real, it's yours to find
The prophets say they obey reality
What to they know, what to they see
I call in truth they say it's insanity
What are you now, genius or fool
You can't believe it
Self denial
You can't believe it...
Open your eyes
Can't you see they are trying to
Open your mind...
To the unknown
Open your eyes
Can't you see they are trying to
Open your mind...
To the unknown
Open your eyes to the unknown
Open your eyes to the unknown...
Just a touch from a soul far away
Set off your fear
Why do you scream instead of communicate
Let them in, let them in, let them rip
Let them in, let them in
Let them in, let them in, let them rip
Let them in, let them in, let them rule
You can't believe it
Self denial
You can't believe it...
Open your eyes
Can't you see they are trying to
Open your mind...
To the unknown
Open your eyes
Can't you see they are trying to
Open your mind...
To the unknown
Open your eyes to the unknown
Open your eyes to the unknown...
6. Ghost I Carry
Outside the coffin it shouldn't be, it's a mystery
Made sure I nailed well and buried it with stones
I checked there was no pulse
So how can it be, is it haunting me
Hiding furthing inside my sacred sanctuary
Like nails scratching windows
The chills on my back drags me closer...
The ghosts I carry
Don't deny me again
Unsafe in a sanctuary
Now that it whispers from the dark into my soul
I come to realize it always been there, just don't know where
I look the gates well do what I can to keep it away
But still it's here now staring by my side
Like nails scratching windows
The chills on my back drags me closer...
The ghosts I carry
Don't deny me again
Unsafe in a sanctuary
7. My Shadow
Staring eyes, we are paralyzed
Statues tremble with fear
Do you dare to turn around
To see if someone's there
We beg for mercy
But silence here will cry alone
Dying for nothing
Ripped apart my eyes getting dark
I'm a shadow
Dying for nothing hear the voices of doom
In search of my own soul
Lost in a maze we are the children of ever more
The screaming voices within
Waiting for the silent demands of mother earth
It must be consequence of my sin
We are hypnotized to never realize
That we're pray and nothing more
Planted here in this hunters cage
By the darkness in the core
We beg for mercy
But silence here will cry alone
Dying for nothing
Ripped apart my eyes getting dark
I'm a shadow
Dying for nothing hear the voices of doom
In search of my own soul
Lost in a maze we are the children of ever more
The screaming voices within
Waiting for the silent demands of mother earth
It must be consequence of my sin
8. To The Gallows
As I walk along the path to the gallows
They laugh at me and dishonour my name
In their eyes I steel and I'm a killer
But if they knew what they did when they sacrificed
Can't you see what they've done to me
I'm closing my eyes and I walk in the...
Fire!
Licked by the flames
I am your liar
Fire!
Pathetic fools
A dying choir
Liar!
Now that I've turned you will kneel my anger
You will regret the rope round my neck
No longer safe in this sanctuary where you used to dwell
Go ahead and run my vengeance will find you
Now you feel what they've done to me
I'm closing my eyes and I walk in the...
Fire!
Licked by the flames
I am your liar
Fire!
Pathetic fools
A dying choir
Now that you've tasted my anger
Would you believe what they say again
I'm closing my eyes and I walk in the...
Fire!
Licked by the flames
I am your liar
Fire!
Pathetic fools
A dying choir
9. I
It's starting to get a little lonely in here
But I always have you my friend
So shiny and cold, you always know what to say
You always been good to me
Reaching for my own hand
Drag myself and pulls me towards the abyss
I declare you guilty
Now you will have to pay with your life
It's your execution
You're guilty
So rise!
And take your final steps
Six feet to go
It's been a while maybe an hour or so
Twenty years or an eon who knows
What the hell did we do, explain it again
I'm guilty as one, but then...
Reaching for my own hand
Drag myself and pulls me towards the abyss
I declare you guilty
Now you will have to pay with your life
It's your execution
You're guilty
So rise!
And take your final steps
Six feet to go
Lights out
Satisfying their hunger for blood
Eyes shut
Falling deeper and deeper within
Show down
The spoken damnation of man
New crown
Worn by the rulers of the damned
I declare you guilty
Now you will have to pay with your life
It's your execution
You're guilty
So rise!
And take your final steps
Six feet to go
As they declared him guilty
And dragged him though the crowd
He looked up with a smile and laughing
Said: you all will follow some day
10. Rising
The while light approaches me
While trying to cover my eyes
But the phenomenon insists
Time rushes and reverse into the past
Is what there I was born?
In this deja-vu I thrown back
Back to the beginning of the end
I'm certain
He's raising again
Relieved of the burden
And soon it's you my friend
No!
Floating over my village in the cold
Watching myself through a mirror of time
All there is, is a black darkened hole
The beginning turns to end
I'm certain
He's raising again
Relieved of the burden
And soon it's you my friend
I'm certain
He's raising again
Relieved of the burden
And soon it's you my friend
I'm shaking, freezing, falling
Listen, he is calling
I'm shaking, freezing, falling
Listen, he is calling for you
I'm certain
He's raising again
Relieved of the burden
And soon it's you my friend
I'm certain
He's raising again
Relieved of the burden
And soon it's you my friend
As last he's come for you
