CMX - Kaikkivaltiaan Peili

[MrJuha82]

Kautta aikain heijän parhaitaan, helposti. Talvikuningas ja Vainajala myös perkeleen kovia levyjä paljon mainostettujen Aionin ja Auran ohella. Myös eka kiekko Kolmikärki on aina kova ja usea muukin bänmdin levy.

[dragothica]

Todella hyvä ja tarttuva biisi. Aivan loistavat sanat!

[Kaarlo]

Tämä biisi on joskus pelastanut minut, varsinkin nämä säkeet: "tajunta on tyhjä kuten taulu illan hämärässä - - valopisteet tajunnassa tehtäviksi selittää." Niille on aikojen saatossa muodostunut hyvin henkilökohtainen tulkinta. Vahva kappale.

[Varjo123]

The part of translation just seems to be taking explict freedom in describing the Conqueror's sex, because its not mentioned in any song nor in the booklet "Her forcefieldwings she folds, her head she tilts

and into the eye of a crumbling king she looks".

Though, the finnish word "Hän" can mean him/her, so its all possible that the conqueror might be female, but still, no proof

Jeesjepajee

[ShinRanka]

@Varjo123

I think the gender is based on the music video for Punainen komentaja

[Varjo123]

@ShinRanka

I take that you are meaning the girl in yellow costume, and not the Punainen komentaja himself(As he's definetly male)

[TheTwilightUnicorn]

@Varjo123 Indeed I based my translation to the music video, and the girl yellow costume. You can clearly see as she folds her forcefieldwings and tilts her head in the end of the vid, just before there is a big explosion and video stops.

Ainiin ps suomalaiset tyypit ja englanninkielen osaajat, sanokaa ihmeessä jos on jotain korjattavaa tuossa käännöksessä. En oikein usko että tuo käännös on mitään loistavaa jälkeä on mutta eiköhän sillä nyt ainakin näin alkuun pärjää.

[Narza85]

Mielestäni CMX:n paras kappale.

-Fani since 1995

[Vielle21]

Sanoinkuvaamattoman hieno päätös CMX -yhtyeen todelliselle allerkirjoitusalbumille - Talvikuningas. Hallitsemisen mahdottomuus ei usean ihmisen maailmankaikkeuteen mahdu, mutta Yrjänä synnytti jotain todella eeppistä ko. aiheesta.

[FreakyM]

Holy crap. The final few verses of this song always leave me shivering. Basically the final message is that no matter how high and mighty any empire, ruler or system is, it will all end up in dust, and that the stars themselves will burn out in time.

[Tagabat]

Could you translate song's lyrics into English?

[Tagabat]

@TheTwilightUnicorn

Translate it anyway.

[TheTwilightUnicorn]

@Tagabat

(7:00) Circle of power within the mind learns the language of universe,

silence of wordless arcing stars.

(7:14) Love perhaps even, hate, once flowed through my form,

life its fabric, there I was as a lifeline

were moments in vain, and all this inside me

the defiance of a mortal against the face of darkness.

[Tagabat]

@TheTwilightUnicorn

Thank you very much!

[TheTwilightUnicorn]

@Tagabat You are very welcome. :)

[TheTwilightUnicorn]

@Tagabat

(6:15) Thus the reign crumbles into dust, every last one of them

and the names of leaders pass beyond rememberance into oblivion

the systems fail, lips carry grand dead words

and a lonely whisper of wind travels above the ruins

and as I still live everything is scattered into time,

blown into the winds of suns which once shall decay.

[TheTwilightUnicorn]

@Tagabat

(3:57) A voice, silent and serious, speaks

like something familiar, safe, long past gone.

It explains body to be a map and pain a compass

tells that dots of light in the conciousness to be assignments:

(4:47) I remember a large book under a holy signet,

one that ancestor-mothers from earth carried under the new sky

I remember alliances, wars, journeys new diplomacies,

I remember myself only as one remembers a nightmare.

[TheTwilightUnicorn]

@Tagabat

(3:18) Conciousness is empty like a painting in the twilight of the night

something still drips through, faint smell of memories:

First memory quite tepid, so dusky

a door of secrets hidden within the heart,

(3:36) second memory flickering like a picture grey and grainy

depicts faces and scenery beyond,

third memory, of numbers and counts, formulas,

fourth memory a dark and dangerous road

[TheTwilightUnicorn]

@Tagabat

(1:11) In front of throne steps a conqueror, alone

and armies divine merely wait for the command

Her forcefieldwings she folds, her head she tilts

and into the eye of a crumbling king she looks

(1:53) "The destroyer of the worlds, god of living folks

upholder of the arcing sky, mountain golden

names are those merely and now taken away

if you fall on your face, that what saves"

[DrizztFan1000]

Aivan paras biisi

[daev64]

Damn, these guys are awesome... if they could do an entire show of instrumentals they'd make a FORTUNE in the states.

heh... funny, I've never before thought "I wish I knew Finnish"...

[RedheadScorpio]

You really should. This band has the best lyrics. They often resemble biblic phrases, or verses used by sages and shamans. The power of words has a great place in finnish culture, and this band honors it.

[Tagabat]

@daev64

Totally agree with you.

[MrJuha82]

Tämä on loistava biisi.

[r44hi]

Tämä on jotain mieletöntä. Vetää hiljaiseksi.

[dreamers1friend]

awws...<3 siis niin ihana niin hyvät sanat ja kaikkee

[tunnppi]

näin on :)

[VolareNecesseEst]

Paras kappale varmaan ikinä. Aivan uskomattoman mahtipontinen loppua kohti.
