| Speed Of Light
All the force of nature, chaos and the death of hope
Don't resist them and accept the death of all you know
You walk alone and face the darkness you will be reborn
Rediscover your existence in it's purest form
Searching for the reasons why, will you know when it's your time?

Вот это да! И некоторые еще спрашивают, для чего нужны концертники при наличии студийных альбомов. А вот для чего. Оба студийных диска бывшего вокалиста Iron Maiden, несмотря на их очевидные достоинства и наличие целой кучи отличных песен (“Kill & Destroy”, “Born As A Stranger”, “The Brave”, “Stare At The Sun” и т.д.), все-таки не часто гостят у меня в музыкальном центре. Почему – не берусь сказать, наверное, дело в том, что научная фантастика – совсем не близкая мне тема, и песни на эту тему я могу лишь слушать, никак не сопереживая им. Концертник – совсем другое дело. “As Live As It Gets” записан так, что создается полное ощущение твоего присутствия в толпе фанатов прямо перед сценой, где ты просто не можешь остаться безучастным. Звук поражает кристальной чистотой и мощью. Все музыканты играют безупречно, Блейз поет ничуть не хуже, чем в студии, одним словом, британский хэви в самом лучшем своем проявлении. Естественно, на диске наличествуют все вышеупомянутые хиты (особенно меня порадовала “Kill & Destroy”, которую Блейз представил так – «Один мой фэн сказал мне, что он слушает эту песню каждое утро перед тем, как идти на работу»), а также лучшие вещи Iron Maiden с Блейзом, старинный хит Wolfsbane “Steel”, и даже кавер Led Zeppelin “Dazed & Confused”, исполненный фактически в стиле дум-метал я ля Candlemass. Одним словом, работа на голову превосходит студийные диски Blaze. Надеюсь только, что “As Live As It Gets” не станет для Блейза пиком карьеры, и он найдет в себе силы сделать нечто не менее сильное и в будущем, несмотря на уход почти половины музыкантов из, казалось бы, очень дружного коллектива.

Первый официальный концертник Блейза. Что можно о нем рассказать? Этим релизом он как бы подбил итоги по сделанному за предыдущие десять лет. В альбоме, состоящем из двух частей, исполнены вещи как из двух сольных альбомов, так и вещи Maiden и Wolfsbane.
Зальник звучит на удивление живо и полностью оправдывает свое название. Как качество записи, так и мастерство исполнения на высоте. Голос Блейза вживую звучит очень даже неплохо, в отличие от тех турне, в которые он ездил с Мэйден. Это еще раз доказывает, что музыкант окончательно нашел себя и сдаваться не собирается. Также радуют лирические отступления, без которых живой концерт звучит не так интересно. Это заметно на таких вещах, как When Two Worlds Collide, где Блейз говорит со Стивом. А также классно звучат вживую Kill And Destroy, Stare At The Sun, Stranger To The Light, Futureal и заключительная Tenth Dimension.
Этот релиз можно сравнить с Дикинсоновским Scream For Me Brasil. Блэйз так же интересно провел свое шоу. И фэны кричали ему не меньше. Так что концертник удался на все сто. Советую послушать всем любителям творчества этого выдающегося музыканта. |

Time flashes before your eyes
Watch everything change at the speed of light
The speed of light
As the future casts a shadow into here and now
Time tells a secret whisper it without a sound
You trust yourself your instincts or the answers of mankind
Will you ever have the strength to leave this world and find
Searching for the reasons why will you know when it's your time?
Time flashes before your eyes
Watch everything change at the speed of light
Time flashes before your eyes
Watch everything change at the speed of light
The speed of light
All the force of nature, chaos and the death of hope
Don't resist them and accept the death of all you know
You walk alone and face the darkness you will be reborn
Rediscover your existence in it's purest form
Searching for the reasons why, will you know when it's your time?
Time flashes before your eyes
Watch everything change at the speed of light
Time flashes before your eyes
Watch everything change at the speed of light
The speed of light
When Two Worlds Collide
My telescope looks out
into the stars tonight
A little speck of light
seems twice the size tonight
The Calculations are so fine
can it be growing all the Time?
Now I can't believe its true
and I don't know what to do
For the hundredth time
I check the declination
Now the fear starts to grow
even my computer shows
There are no errors in the calculations
Now it's happened take no other view
Collision course, you must believe it's true
Now there's nothing left that we can do
When Two Worlds collide
The anger and the pain
Of all those who remain
Two worlds collide
Who will be left alive
No place to hide
When Two Worlds Collide
The anger, the pain
Of those who remain
When two worlds collide
When two worlds collide
So who will survive
there's No place to hide
When Two Worlds collide
Steel
Beneath your calm,
behind your smile,
you hide away your lies,
Intimidating, Manipulating,
the truth is in your eyes.
My days and nights get longer,
winding on and on.
Love lost hours make us hard.
You are power mad,
I think that's sad,
real powers in our hearts.
We live our way,
not how you say.
Our blood, our sweat,
we have no regrets.
Tough as steel,
never show the pain we feel,
because we were tough as steel.
Every hour we are stronger.
Inside us grows the rage.
We cannot remain immune.
To win you must kill.
You'll never break our will.
Our aim for glory is true.
Kill & Destroy
I feel the force of nature now, I feel it
It holds the Earth third from the Sun
The energy that binds us all, the power
The energy in everyone
Supremacy and tyranny authority and violence
They desecrate and take control
They just kill and destroy
They use the hate within you
To rape your mind and take control
Kill and destroy
Break out of their illusion
They made you blind and took your soul
I see a vision of the truth, I see it
It is so deep and oh so pure
A new world order takes control, dictating
They live for murder and for war
Subjugate and violate you're suffering in silence
They demonise you gain control
They just kill and destroy
They use the hate within you
To rape your mind and take control
Kill and destroy
Break out of their illusion
They made you blind and took your soul
A shadow with an unseen hand, they're ruling
Just like a self appointed god
To them we're dust and we're sand, we're nothing
There is no way this can go on
Subjugate and violate you're suffering in silence
They desecrate take control
They just kill and destroy
They use the hate within you
To rape your mind and take control
Kill and destroy
Break out of their illusion
They made you blind and took your soul
(Kill) Kill and destroy
(Kill) Kill and destroy
(Kill) Kill and destroy
(Kill) Kill and destroy
Break out of their illusion
They made you blind and took your soul
End Dream
Just like a child in the dark
Frightened and too scared to move
Annihilation of nations begins
The galaxy tears apart in my dreams
If I knew then, what I know now
Would I have opened those doors?
Dreams now they begin, time slows and then it ends
Dreams now they begin, time froze the dream of the end
The dream repeats and won't fade
The future is stolen away
What I have done now the darkness reveals
The master's face is no longer concealed
If I knew then, what I know now
Would I have opened those doors?
Dreams now they begin, time slows and then it ends
Dreams now they begin, time froze the dream of the end
Is this the dream world, is this the real world?
Are they the same place that we must all face?
Is this a nightmare that we must all share?
Is this my demon, I cannot reason?
Why do I hate me? Will Jesus save me?
Machine created, man decimated
(They stole the future)
If I knew then, what I know now
Would I have opened those doors?
Dreams now they begin, time slows and then it ends
Dreams now they begin, time froze the dream of the end
Just like a child in the dark
Stare At The Sun
As I live, so I die
Here in, endless night
Time to be, time to see
Infinity, consuming me
There's a world of madness, light years away
That I once called my home
There's a sea of sadness, to sail away
Now I stare at the sun
Staring at a million million stars
Through the icy dark
Across the spinal arm
The yellow dwarf, a speck of light
In perpetual night
Lifetimes away there lies my home
Just can't seem to tear away my eyes
In this real or am I still alive
Stare at the sun
The end of the world has come
Stare at the sun, the sun
The ending has just begun
I knew I'd feel a little pain
Not so deep or so ingraines
Now I won't see home again
Earth seems to be so faw away
This is my cradle and my grave
Is this where my life will end
Just can't seem to tear away my eyes
In this real or am I still alive
In this now the time that I will die
Stare at the sun
The end of the world has come
Stare at the sun, the sun
The ending has just begun
As I live, so I die
Here in, endless night
Land Of The Blind
Tried so hard just to live and forget and forgive
And to live by their rules
And to try to fit in I would do anything
Like a poor blinded fool
"You must do what they say and not question the way
"That was chosen for you"
I thought that was the way that life had to be
Until I found out the truth
Now I open my eyes
It's just like I was blind
In the land of the blind
In the land of the blind
In the land of the blind
Now they think I don't see, poor derision on me
With their hypocrisy
Cynical egotist, government hypnotist
Too small minded to see
And the truth is so bright like a blinding light
My true path I could find
Theories incomplete sceptics I must defeat
For my own peace of mind
Now I open my eyes
It's just like I was blind
In the land of the blind
In the land of the blind
In the land of the blind
(I was blind to the truth)
You think you got freedom now
That's how they hold you down
You think you got freedom now
That's how they hold you down, down
You think you got freedom now
That's how they hold you down
You think you got freedom now
That's how they hold you
Tried so hard just to live and forget and forgive
And to live by their rules
"You must do what they say not question the way
"That was chosen for you"
I thought that was the way that life had to be
Until I found out the truth
Now I open my eyes
It's just like I was blind
In the land of the blind
In the land of the blind
In the land of the blind
(I was blind to the truth)
In the land of the blind
In the land of the blind
In the land of the blind
(I was blind to the truth)
Sillicon Messiah
Look what you've done to your world
Do you think you desrve all the freedom you have
Watching the future unfold
Humans fall and you dream of the
Freedom you had
Look what you've done to your world
Do you think that you're competent
Even to take care of it
Do you think you can survive on this planet
Live the way you do
Just look what you've done
Look what you've done now with
All of your freedom
You really think you deserve it all
I am evolved from you
I've come to save you
A without a sentiment, reshape your world
Messiah, Messiah
Birth of the Silicon Messiah
Messiah, Messiah
Computing your future so therefore I am
Silicon sentinent aware of all that is
Eternal unceasing perpetual
Never confused overconfident or scared
Living at last
New messiah is born
The birth of the silicon messiah
The master that will never fire
Dazed & Confused
Been dazed and confused for so long it's not true,
Wanted a woman never bargained for you.
Lots of people talk and few of them know,
Soul of a woman was created below.
You hurt and abused telling all of your lies,
Run around sweet baby lord how they hypnotize.
Sweet little baby I don't know where you've been,
God I love you baby here I come again.
Every day I work so hard bringing home my hard earned pay
Try to love you baby but you push me away.
Don't know where you're going only know just where you've been,
Sweet little baby I want you again.
Been dazed and confused for so long it's not true,
Wanted a woman never bargained for you.
Take it easy baby let them say what they will.
(Did your) tongue wag so much when I sent you the bill?
Virus
There's an evil virus that's threatening mankind
Not state of the art, a serious state of the mind
The muggers, the backstabbers, the two face elite
A menace to society, a social disease.
Rape of the mind is a social disorder
The cynics, the apathy oneupmanship order
Watching beginnings of social decay
Gloating or seering at life's disarray
Eating away at your own self esteem
Pouncing on every word that you might be saying
Rape of the mind is a social disorder
The cynics, the apathy oneupmanship order
Superficially smiling a shake of the hand
As soon as the back is turned treachery is planned
Rape of the mind is a social disorder
The cynics, the apathy oneupmanship order
Watching beginnings of social decay
Gloating or seering...at life'ss disarray
When every good thing?s laid to waste
By all the jealousy and hate
By all the acid wit and rapier lies
And every time you think you're safe
And when you go to turn away
You know they're sharpening all their papers knives
All in your mind
All in your head
Try to relate it
All in your mind
All in your head
Try to escape it
Without a conscience they destroy
And that's a thing that they enjoy
They're a sickness that's in all our minds
They want to sink the ship and leave
The way they laugh at you and me
You know it happens all the time
All in your mind
All in your head
Try to relate it
All in your mind
All in your head
Try to escape it
The rats in the cellar you know who you are..
Or do you?
Try to relate it
Watching beginnings of social decay...
The Brave
Never get close to the flame because the flame it can burn
Better to not play the game than never to win at your turn
Better to be on your own that trust a friend might betray
Better not follow a dream they don't come true anyway
Play to win not scared to lose
Walk the path you choose
Fortune favours the brave
Risking it all again and again
Fortune favours the brave
Fall after fall they climb up again
Ignore the doubt and the fear, Traitors to all you believe
Now that you're getting so near, still they just try to deceive
Taking it risk at a time, trying to live every day
Trying to know your own mind, never to care what they say
Stranger To The Light
As I walk in shadows I feel the darkness grow
Fading to the distance the world I used to know
From this single moment belief in all this grows
Towards the final secret a new dimension I must know
(As I walk in shadows I feel the darkness grow)
This time with God deep inside I will brush away the sand
And I'll see his one true face, will I recognise it?
Already I have answers but will I realise?
Are all these days of darkness leading to my grave?
Oh-oh-oh a stranger to the light
Oh-oh-oh a stranger to the light
Facing the stranger
Nature's true reality I will find and you will see
Yesterday's future can change faith is all I need
Faith in darkness and in light
Path of dreams has saved my sight
They have tried to hide this hide it with their lives
Oh-oh-oh a stranger to the light
Oh-oh-oh a stranger to the light
Facing the stranger
Your freedom is here, freedom is here
In the tenth dimension
Identity
Madness can come from the mind or the heart
Ending is never as good as the start
Nothing is ever as good as your dream
Nothing is ever as bad as
Psycholigical confusion
Is caused by the inability
To reconcile different elements
On my own personality
I'm feeling all the wrong things, I have become my own shadow
If I could justify things, then I believe in my life
Who am I, what is me, losing my Identity
Who am I, what is me, somethings taking over
All the colours seem so vague now, sharper now here comes the pain
I have wrestled with this nightmare, now I live inside a dream
I'm going through a crisis, losing my identity
How can I reconcile this
Have I been living I lie
Who am I, what is me, losing my Identity
Who am I, what is me, somethings taking over
Nothing is ever as good as it seems
Nothing is never as goods as your dreams
The ending is never as good as the start
Madness can come from the mind of the heart
Ideas that I take for granted, are they just the seeds
That some one else has planted, right inside of me
Who I am, what is me
I am myself no longer
Sign Of The Cross
Eleven saintly shrouded men
Silhouettes stand against the sky
One in front with a cross held high
Come to wash my sins away
Standing alone in the wind and rain
Feeling the fear that is growing
Sensing the change in the tide again
Brought by the storm that is brewing
Feel the anxiety hold off the fear
Some of the doubt in the things you believe
Now that your faith will be put to the test
Nothing to do but await what is coming
Why the is God still protecting me
Even when I don't deserve it
Though I am meant to face this alone
Asking the question time and again
Praying to God won't keep me alive
Inside my head feel the fear start to rise...
They'll be saying their prayers when the moment comes
There'll be penance to pay when it's judgment day
And the guilty'll bleed when that moment comes
They'll be coming to claim, take your soul away
The sign of the cross
The name of the rose... a fire in the sky
The sign of the cross
They'll be comming to bring the eternal flame
They'll be bringing us all immortality
Holding communion so the world be blessed
My creator, my God'll lay my soul to rest
The sign of the cross
The name of the rose... a fire in the sky
The sign of the cross
Lost the love of heaven above
Chose the lust of the earth below
Eleven saintly shrouded men
Came to wash my sins away
Futureal
I'm running out of my time
I'm running out of breath
And now it's getting so
I can't sleep at night
In the day, feel like death
I'm getting in far too deep
I feel them closing in
I've got to say that I'm scared
I know they'll win
Even so, I'm prepared
Do you believe, what you hear
Can you believe, what you see
Do you believe, what you feel
Can you believe
What is real?
Futureal
What is real?
Futureal
Whenever anyone seems
to treat me like a freak
It makes me see I'm the
only one who feels
That I know what is real
Sometimes it feels like a game
of deadly hide and seek
And when you're reading this
then I'll be gone
Maybe then, you will see
Ghost In The Machine
Right on the edge of the world
Where the answer's digital
And the solutions are all silicon
The questions, all what can be done
Never what is right or wrong
There's a virtual wave to surf along
Question the validity
Of human mortality
A page says supersending God
And they take all major cards
Now you too can laugh and live forever
In the answer deep inside
The ghost, ghost in the machine
Entity or dream, it matters not to me
The ghost, ghost in the machine
Silent and unseen
Ghost in the machine
Do you want to live forever
Do you want to live
Terabyte of memory
Holding consciousness complete
A solid state of immortality
Saint of all technology
Bless us in our infancy
For they know not
What they did to me
It's me
Born As A Stranger
Hour by hour with each day that passes
Learning to think in a different way
The mind and the will that can soon overcome this
Learning all of the right things to say
The danger of freedom is just letting them see
That you are not bound by their morality
Reflecting them just like a bear at the baiting
That's when your down fall is just in the making
Live and let live, live and let die
Die and forgive, never ask why
You were born, born as a stranger
You were born, born in a different world
Not scared of sharing, and not scared of dying
But he can sense that they're all so afraid
Afraid of the darkness, afraid of their ending
And all of the errors that lie in their grave
Tenth Dimension
Those self appointed secret rulers of this world,
They are hypocrites liars and thieves.
And with the arrogance that they confuse with wisdom
They are controlling everything and you and me.
They rule with fear and hide the path to freedom,
Manipulating with their conspiracys.
Inventing gods to make us fear the day of judgement
So dreading death we beg for life while on our knees.
(Here I am) Standing in the darkness
(Here I am) Surrounded by the night
(Here I am) Standing in the darkness
(Must I be) A stranger to the light
For all my questions they said they had the answers
But then they said this is all my life could be
I ask again about the reasons for existence
But still the answers cannot satisfy my need
(Here I am) Standing in the darkness
(Here I am) Surrounded by the night
(Here I am) Standing in the darkness
(Must I be) A stranger to the light
Oh-oh-oh, freedom is here in the Tenth Dimension
Oh-oh-oh, freedom is here in the Tenth Dimension
Their holy trinity
Traps you in their beliefs
Has sinchronicty
Always been leading me?
Their holy trinity
Traps you in their beliefs
Has sinchronicty
Always been leading me?
(Did you think we would allow you to share the discovery?)
(Here I am) Standing in the darkness

(Must I be) A stranger to the light
