exiles

• king crimson sarkisi. larks tongues in aspic albumundedir.
  
  now...in this faraway land
  strange...that the palms of my hands
  should be damp with expectancy
  
  spring...and the air's turning mild
  city lights...and the glimpse of a child
  of the alleyway infantry
  
  friends...do they know what i mean
  rain...and the gathering green
  of an afternoon out-of-town
  
  but lord i had to go
  my trail was laid too slow behind me
  to face the call of fame
  or make a drunkard's name for me
  though now this other life
  has brought a different understanding
  and from these endless days
  shall come a broader sympathy
  and though i count the hours
  to be alone's no injury...
  
  my home...was a place near the sand
  cliffs...and a military band
  blew and air of normality

  loneliness was all she knew,
  because of her god sent beauty.
  evil and carnage were sure to ensure,
  her death was conchobars duty.
  the high king conchobar would not dare,
  so he did her away from his people.
  "deirdre will live and grow up fair,
  then marry me in my temple".
  
  she was disgusted by conchobar,
  and vowed she would not be wed.
  "i love only the man who bears the colours-
  black white and blood red".
  "i know such man!", her aide explained
  but deirdre could only hope.
  uisneach's sons were led to the forest,
  with naoise, she would elope.
  
  no place was safe for the four exiles,
  they left eireann with heavy hearts.
  but to see her face and see her smile,
  gave the brothers strength to depart.
  in albas' hills they made their home.
  and began a simple life.
  local hatred had suddenly grown,
  men wanted her as a wife.
  
  conchobar dreamed of deirdre his true love,
  he longed for the touch of her skin.
  his duties neglected, his life so affected,
  "why did she leave the court of the king?".
  after some time he explained he was wrong,
  or so we were led to believe.
  "this sorrowful song i have sung for too long,
  naoise agus deirdre i now forgive".
  
  naoise always longed to go back home.
  when he heard the news he wept.
  the brothers prepared for the journey ahead,
  with fergus mac roth they all left.
  the exiles returned to the king alone,
  and knew there was something not right.
  conchobar made his plans be known,
  the brothers took up the fight.
  
  the exiles fled to the sorrowful forest,
  foloowed by the king's men.
  deirdre was hidden but they needed rest,
  they could not fight again.
  naoise smelt death and he quietly said-
  "please deirdre stay where you are".
  a belt of a sword and the brothers fell dead,
  deirdre smelt blood on the air.
  
  "cannot you see, i did this for you,
  our wedding can now take place".
  they left for fern mag, as the cold wind blew,
  in a chariot she felt deaths embrace.
  "i am deirdre, for a short time alive,
  to end life be evil, 'tis worse to survive".
  from the chariot she fell to her death,
  to be with naoise, to smell his sweet breath.
• x-men çizgi romanlarının bir türevi olup, farklı gerçekliklerden gelen kahramanları anlatır. örneğin nightcrawler'ın kızı nocturne, magik,etc.`
• ilk bakışta karmaşık gibi gelse de, aslında oldukça basit bir konuya sahip olan marvel çizgi romanı.
  
  şimdi, çizgi romana göre binlerce paralel evren bulunmaktadır (ki esas olayların geçtigi evren 616. olandır). farklı evrenlerden farklı süper kahramanları bir güç oldukları yerden alır ve bir araya toplar. adamlara bu paralel evren olayını ve bazen bu evrenlerde işlerin gitmesi gerektiği gibi gitmediğini anlatır. onlara bir teklif sunar; ya o evrenden evrene seyahat ederek oralarda yapılması gerekenleri yapacaklardır, ya da asla kendi evlerine dönemeyeceklerdir. e kabul ederler onlarda..
  
  sürekli bildiğimiz karakterleri farklı şekillerde karşımıza çıkarması oldukça eylencelidir. hikayeleri genellikle çok hoştur. bir icim sudur. harikadır.
• kisaca "marvel kerhanesi" de denilebilinir.
  
  ne gireni cikani bellidir, ne de kimin kime hangi ara cocugu koydugu... felaket gereksiz bir hadise. marvel'i al, capraz ciftlestirme yap, at hirsizlarina benzet, sonra "paralel evrenler" de. spider-man 2099 nedir lan maymun? galactus'a haval edilesi ipneler.
• yavaş yavaş yükselen ses efektlerinin ardından hoş bir gitar ve keman melodisiyle başlayıverir şarkı. john wetton'ın vokali de ayrı güzeldir bu şarkıda.
