lost in a lost world

• the moody blues'un seventh sojourn adlı albümünün ilk parçası, bir mike pinder bestesi. biraz depressif bir parça.
  
  i woke up today
  i was crying
  lost in a lost world
  so many people are dying
  lost in a lost world
  
  some of them are living an illusion
  bounded by the darkness of their minds
  in their eyes it's nation against nation against nation
  with racial pride
  sad hearts they hide
  thinking only of themselves
  they shun the light
  they think they're right
  living in their empty shells
  
  oh, can you see their world is crashing?
  crashing down around their feet
  angry people in the street
  telling them they've had their fill
  of politics that wound and kill
  
  grow, the seeds of evolution
  revolution never won
  it's just another form of gun
  to do again what they have done
  with all our brothers' youngest sons
  
  everywhere you go you see them searching
  everywhere you turn you feel the pain
  everyone is looking for the answer
  well look again, come on my friend
  love will find them in the end
  come on my friend
  we've got to bend
  on our knees and say a prayer
  
  oh, can you see the world is pining
  pining for someone who really cares enough to share his love
  with all of us, so we can be
  an ever loving family
  
  have we forgotten we're all children?
  children from a family tree
  that's longer than a centipede
  started long ago when you and i
  were only love
  
  i woke today, i was crying
  lost in a lost world
  so many people are dying
  lost in a lost world
  
  so many people, so many people, people
  lost in a lost world
  so many people, so many people, people
  lost in a lost world
• biraz degil, oldukca depresif bir sarkidir ve boyle olmasinin sebebi her bir sozunun tamamiyle gercek olmasidir (yazildiktan 42 yil sonra bile). ote yandan, gune bu sarkiyla baslanildiginda tuhaf bir bicimde guclu hisseder insan kendini, cunku farkindalik ayni zamanda guc demektir.
• senjutsu albümünde harris imzalı maiden şarkısı. şimdiden klasikler arasına gireceklere kesin gözüyle bakıyorum.

• sonundaki balladımsı kısmıyla beni kalbimden vurmuş iron maiden şarkısı. özlemişiz...
• senjutsu albümünden harika bir iron maiden parçası.
  
  all is not it seems to be on the outside
  sometimes what appears to be is a show
  what shows in the face is only a mirror
  we all have some better places to go
  
  we don't know just what we have ’til we've lost it
  until that time comes and know that it's gone
  so hard to say things that we should have uttered long ago
  tear myself away from thoughts in my head
  
  the people worshiping the sun
  and all the children point up to the sky
  they see the eagle as it floats on the wind
  and they follow with their spirits high
  
  buffalo roam on the plain
  we walk into the flames but dance for rain
  the hallowed dead in sacred ground and the elders
  and we wash away their sins for them
  
  feel the spirits of the old ones standing proud upon their race
  and the testament to ancestors, that are never to retrace
  burn the flame of innocence, as they ride into the sun
  thinking now of our forefathers that are lying dead upon
  holy ground and sacred earth now
  revisit stolen youth
  
  lost in a lost world
  buried on sacred ground
  lost in a lost world
  lying on sacred ground
  
  lost in a lost world
  buried on sacred ground
  lost in a lost world
  lying on sacred ground
  
  lost in a lost world
  standing on sacred ground
  lost in a lost world
  lying on sacred ground
  
  will we ever heal our old wounds
  like forever darkness worn
  fighting for their lives again
  so come on now don’t be afraid
  
  this is where destiny lies
  just to let us breathe again
  put upon this earth to wander
  and to walk, forever lost
  
  with the ashes of our enemies
  to live among our ghosts
  of our past fear nothing
  life is but a better path to joy
  
  nowhere to go nowhere to run
  our whole nation overrun
  ıtself existence under threat
  and soon will be none of us left
  
  remember names of all our dead now
  ın enemies that fled
  reaching for our sky forever free
  a sadness that is proud
  as the clouds all drift away now
  until we meet again
• we don't know just what we have 'til we've lost it

• dün gece albüm yayımlanma saati olan gece 12'den beri devamlı dinlediğim bir iron maiden şaheseri.
• son 3 albümdeki en iron maiden gibi olan iron maiden şarkısı. şu an ilk kez dinliyorum. sıradayım. ilk harris imzası. dinlerken up the irons! diye bağardım.
• bu şarkı için hayatını ortaya koy deseler, son bir kez daha dinleyebilirsin ama sonunda ölüm var deseler hiç çekinmem kabul ederim.
  
  öyle bir şarkıdır benim için.
• sebebini bilmediğim halde outro'dan çok etkilendiğim ve şahsen albümdeki en başarılı parça olduğunu düşündüğüm iron maiden eseridir.
