 Беги, беги, Распутин! Всего две песни, два трека общей продолжительностью восемь минут пятнадцать секунд. Но какие. Итак, вторая песня – "Battle Metal", один из лучших боевиков от Turisas. Кто не слышал – послушайте одноименный альбом. Вещь беспроигрышная, ее энергетика, ее драйв сносят башню напрочь. Своеобразная квинтэссенция творчества группы. Можно сказать, что это классика финского viking/batlle металла. Ну, а теперь ради чего это все затевалось! Диско 80-х! Бони Эм в компании брутальных финнов представляют свой гремящий хит! Я уверен, на концертах это будет одна из самых слэмовых вещей. Судите сами: если человек, находясь в комнате один, колбасится по полной, то что же будет на концерте? Сочетание мощных риффов и танцевальной мелодии настолько удачны, что ноги идут сами отплясывать. Скрипичные партии выводят задорный ритм, а припев, который знает половина человечества, сам рвется изо рта. Поистине, гениальная вещь! Этот миньон можно назвать «две самые великие вещи Turisas». Просто рука не поворачивается поставить что-нибудь меньше десяти. Браво, Kazachok! |

But to Moscow chicks he was such a lovely dear
He could preach the bible like a preacher
Full of ecstasy and fire
But he also was the kind of teacher
Women would desire
RA RA RASPUTIN
Lover of the Russian queen
There was a cat that really was gone
RA RA RASPUTIN
Russia's greatest love machine
It was a shame how he carried on
He ruled the Russian land and never mind the tsar
But the kasachok he danced really wunderbar
In all affairs of state he was the man to please
But he was real great when he had a girl to squeeze
For the queen he was no wheeler dealer
Though she'd heard the things he'd done
She believed he was a holy healer
Who would heal her son
RA RA RASPUTIN
Lover of the Russian queen
There was a cat that really was gone
RA RA RASPUTIN
Russia's greatest love machine
It was a shame how he carried on
But when he’s drinking and musting
And hungers of power the kind now drawn more people
Their demands to do something about this outrageous man
Who’re louder and louder
“Hey hey”
"This man's just got to go!" declared his enemies
But the ladies begged "Don't you try to do it, please"
No doubt this Rasputin had lots of hidden charms
Though he was a brute they just fell into his arms
Then one night some men of higher standing
Set a trap, they're not to blame
"Come to visit us" they kept demanding
And he really came
RA RA RASPUTIN
Lover of the Russian queen
They put some poison into his wine
RA RA RASPUTIN
Russia's greatest love machine
He drank it all and he said "I feel fine"
RA RA RASPUTIN
Lover of the Russian queen
They didn't quit, they wanted his head
RA RA RASPUTIN
Russia's greatest love machine
And so they shot him till he was dead
Waaouyeah
Oh those Russians.
Battle Metal
A name uttered with fear
No smile, no tears
They'll crush your skull with a blow
And pile them in a row
The heart of Turisas was forged by four winds
In a smithy high up in the skies
On an anvil honour, with a hammer of blood
The Four Winds pounded
Battle Metal!
As the battle rages the dearest to you, you hold in your hand -
And stick in their lungs!
An iron gaze of a hawk
Out of sight they stalk
Their arrows cut the air an they fly
Death from the sky
Thunder in their eyes
A riding demise
Storming over the men on the field
Breaking their shield
Take this sign into your heart and be brave
Let it lead you to your glory or your grave
Today!
Hear me, my warriors
Soldiers from all the edges of the world
Let us join our forces
To an army, united
Four winds will guide us
The Heart of Turisas will lead our way
Our drums echo: Forward march
Our horns cry for victory
Boldest of them all
They've answered the call
Their arms were strenghtened by the work of their swords
They'll march till they fall
The heart of Turisas was forged by four winds
In a smithy high up in the skies
On an anvil honour, with a hammer of blood
The Four Winds pounded
