Волки достаточно часто встречаются в песнях и стихах, и по этому собрать абсолютно всё,
где поётся об этих замечательных животных просто невозможно, так что я даже и не пытался этого сделать.
Здесь будет представлена небольшая коллекция песен о волках, которые:
1)Нравятся мне
2)Похожи по смыслу на Wolf's Rain
3)Похожи на WR по настроению (не обязательно о волках)
Песни, описанные в данном разделе можно скачать с моего подсайта Kiba the Wolf Archives.
SA - относительно молодая, но уже очень известная и выпустившая четыре альбома группа,
играющая в стиле Finnish melodic power-speed с элементами progressive. Волки в
творчестве этой группы играют очень важную роль - на каждом их альбоме есть хотя бы одна песня
на эту тему, и это не удивительно - большинство (включая и меня) узнали об этой группе именно после
выхода великолепнейшего сингла "Wolf and Raven" и клипа на эту же песню.
Песни Sonata Arctica про волков:
FullMoon (с альбома Ecliptica, 1999)
(музыка/слова: Тони Какко)
Sitting in a corner all alone,
staring from the bottom of his soul,
watching the night come in from the window
It'll all collapse tonight, the fullmoon is here again
In sickness and in health, understanding so demanding
It has no name, there's one for every season
Makes him insane to know
Running away from it all
"I'll be safe in the cornfields", he thinks Hunted by his own,
again he feels the moon rising on the sky
Find a barn which to sleep in, but can he hide anymore
Someones at the door, understanding too demanding
Can this be wrong, it's love that is not ending
Makes him insane to know
She should not lock the open door
(run away run away, run way)
Fullmoon is on the sky and He's not a man anymore
See the change in Him but can't
(run away run away, run away)
See what became out of her man... Fullmoon
Swimming across the bay,
the nite is gray, so calm today
She doesn't wanna wait.
"We've gotta make the love complete tonight..."
In the mist of (the or your?) morning he cannot fight anymore
Thousands moons or more, he's been howling
Knock on the door, and scream that is soon ending
Mess on the floor again...
She should not lock the open door
(run away run away, run away)
Fullmoon is on the sky and is not a man anymore
Sees the change in him but can't
(run away, run away, run away)
See what became out of her man
She should not lock the open door
(run away run away, run away)
Fullmoon is on the sky and is not a man anymore
Sees the change in him but can't
(run away, run away, run away)
See what became out of her darling man
She should not lock the open door
(run away run away, run away)
Fullmoon is on the sky and is not a man anymore
See what became out of her man
Wolf & Raven (с альбома Silence, 2001)
(музыка/слова: Тони Какко)
Grant me a wish, my master
Take heed of me
I have been loyal servant
Heartfelt, humble
Gave up - what belongs to me
Gave up my greed
My self-examination
Made me see, to be me
I am now like Judas, done
Ashamed of what I've become
Fear for life I wear as a ring
To bask in your favor, I will kill the king
You say I am invincible
I cannot die,
I know, but anyway
The words, they maim me
Grant me a wish, my master
Compassion, please
I'd like be a human
...maybe one day
I am now like Judas, done
Ashamed of what I've become
Fear of life I wear as a ring
To bask in your favor, I will kill the king
[Entreaty:] let me go
Master, I hate you so
How can I sleep my nights
When my whole being cries
I tried to be like everyone
Open my soul
But what I had to give
Resulted loathing
Enchanted by the power
Licked by the grace
One beautiful black flower
The end of the human race
With pride now face my faith
King and Queen now lie in state
Fear for life I wear as a ring
I bask in your favor, I have killed the king
[Entreaty:] let me go
Master, I hate you so
How can I sleep my nights
When my whole being cries
I had a nightmare
The Wolf eating The Raven
Entrails of life on my plate
And I ate 'em..
Interested in what I see
Try that Rorcharch test on me
Have you seen the beauty of the
Enticing beast
[Entreaty:] let me go
Master, I hate you so
I cannot sleep my nights
When my whole being cries
The Cage (с альбома Winterheart's Guild, 2003)
(музыка/слова: Тони Какко)
A lifetime ago, with frozen eyes they closed the door.
Suddenly I realized what locks are for. No trusting them anymore, lights -
are - out.
Empty the stare, innocent and unaware, dragged out from my home ,my lair.
Earmarked me, hurt me, burned me.
The walls around me, eyes surround me, feed my fear again.
I must be freed or I will die before the harvest moon, my friend.
I do not have another year in me, you've gotta set me free.
The dream is alive, I can run up the hills every night,
go around and see another side of the tree.
Freedom has a meaning for me, howl with me.
Fear in the dark, I advice you. You can not see the eyes, they grow behind
you....
It's my song they now sing to you.
You stand no chance....
They'll kill for me, steal back my freedom, set me free, it's my minions vs.
thee.
Fiery the vengeance, hate will drain me.
The walls around me, eyes surround me, feed my fear again.
I must be freed or I will die before the harvest moon, my friend.
I do not have another year in me, you've gotta set me free.
The dream is alive, I can run up the hills every night,
go around and see another side of the tree.
All I want is to be untamed and free, howl and (dream).
The dream is alive, with the moon on the hills every night,
run around and see another side of the dream.
Freedom has a meaning for me, you can't tame me...
You will remember the day you crossed my path.
leave me without a guard and you feel my wrath.
What you have done to me has made me bitter and cruel.
I'll see that all the hate you spread returns to you, you, to you...
The walls around me, eyes surround me, feed my fear again.
I must be freed or I will die before the harvest moon, my friend.
I do not have another year in me, you've gotta set me free.
The dream is alive, I can run up the hills every night,
go around and see another side of the tree.
All I want is to be untamed and free, howl and (dream).
The dream is alive, with the moon on the hills every night,
run around and see another side of the dream.
Freedom has a meaning for me, you can't tame me...
The dream is alive, I can run up the hills every night,
go around and see another side of the tree.
All I want is to be untamed and free, howl and (dream).
The dream is alive, with the moon on the hills every night,
run around and see another side of the dream.
Freedom has a meaning for me..
Ain't Your Fairytale (с альбома Reckoning Night, 2004)
(музыка/слова: Тони Какко)
The ones who seek justice
Will pray for it all their lives
They can and they will skin us
Oh, one day
Oh, can you hear their cries?
As far as the men can run from us
We're following the trail of blood
So hunt, my young ones...
I have always known the storm would come
Listen now my young ones
This is not a story I tell
Of midnight, moon and sun
Are you ready to walk the forbidden road?
Learn again what we tried to forget?
the dark, and I'll take over you
We had a common past, an ancient bond
That people once broke
We would only take what we need,
They would harvest our wheat
But they hunted us all
We ended the lives of their past times
and like times ago
the ones are feeding the soul
But the war still went on
Praying for the moon, hiding for the day
These might be our last times
I am gonna see you taken away
Heading for the dawn of our way of life
You're welcome to give it your best try
Look me in the eyes of wolf
and This ain't your fairytale
It took so many years to teach them
How to cry "wolf "
We made the people serve the purpose
Those ignorant fools (I am a fool!)
It's not what's been done
use something you've learned
I've learned from the ones above you
Fear is your deepest wisdom
For these last days
Praying for the moon, hiding for the day
These might be our last times
I am gonna see you taken away
Heading for the dawn, of our way of life
You're welcome to give it your best try
Look me in the eyes of wolf
And This ain't your fairytale
The ones who seek justice
Will pray for it all their lives
They can and they will skin us
Oh, one day...
Oh, can you hear their cries
As far as the men can run from us
We're following the trail of blood
So hunt, my young ones
The bad, they’ll always finish bad
On your last day, remember:
We never cried
It does not exist for us
They don't fear the wolf,
But the wild within
No glory to the way this must end
This is the story I told
I'm falling before you
Praying for the moon, hiding for the day
These might be our last times
I am gonna see you taken away
Heading for the dawn of our way of life
You're welcome to give it your best try
Look me in the eyes of wolf
and This ain't your fairytale
The ones who seek justice
Will pray for it all their lives
They can and they will skin us
Oh, one day...
Oh, can you hear their cries
As far as the men can run from us
We're following the trail of blood
So hunt, my young ones
The bad, they’ll always finish bad
