Quando l'ho visto mi sono trovato spiazzato e ho molto diffidato sulla sua reale "presa" letteraria, ma devo dire che man mano che lo leggevo, mi appassionava sempre più. Mi ha ricordato qualche esperimento degno di certi scrittori futuristi, anche se purtroppo so molto poco al riguardo. L' ammetto... dalla diffidenza iniziale, sono passato a dire... che questo racconto è veramente una figata ! Musicalmente parlando mi sta venendo in mente una bellissima canzone dei Rhapsody
RHAPSODY " GARGOYLES , ANGELS OF DARKNESS "
[Parte 1 - Angeli di Pietra Mistica]
The Prophet Told Of Loud Thunders
Quaking The Surface Of Earth
When The Black Raven Would Have Turned
Victim Of Wonderful Spells
He Would Have Become A White Swan
Born From The Darklands Of Sin
Neither Would Aresius Have Believed
What Was Now Changing In Him
Swan... Prince Of The Magic Lake...
Dargor's Your Name...
Gargoyles, Fly
Gargoyles, Rise
Gargoyles, Fly High !
Angeli Di Pietra Mistica
Ladri D'Anime Fieri Volano
Another Mess Of Vampires,
Masquerade Of Sadistic Pride
He Could Not Endure These Cruel Games
Against Him Who Once Spared Its Life
He Realized So Not Too Late
To Be Really Far From His King
Far From His Infinite Blood Thirst,
Too Far To Call Them Right For Him
Rise... Fly High And Steal His Soul...
Angels Of Stone...
Gargoyles, Fly
Gargoyles, Rise
Gargoyles, Fly High !
Angeli Di Pietra Mistica
Ladri D'Anime Fieri Volano
Ti Invoco O Terra... Colora Il Mio Nero...
Con Fiera Lealta' Io Giuro Sincero...
Tra Anime Morte E Caos Immenso
A Gaia Sovrana L'amore Piu' Intenso...
Io Dargor A Te...
Gargoyles, Oh My Brother Gargoyles
Rise Now, Rise For His Soul
Gargoyles, Fly
Gargoyles, Rise
Gargoyles, Fly High !
Angeli Di Pietra Mistica
Ladri D'Anime Fieri Volano
Fly High !
Angeli Di Pietra Mistica
Ladri D'Anime Fieri Volano
Gargoyles, Oh My Brother Gargoyles
Rise Now, Rise For His Soul
[Parte 2 - Exotic Interlude (Instrumental)]
[Parte 3 - ...And The Legend Ends...]
Dargor, Do It... It Must Be Done...
Free Your Rage And Light Your Soul...
It's Gaia's Call...
...The Powerful Energies Of The Furthest Secret Cosmos
Heard So The Prayer Of Our Mother Gaia,
The Supreme Spirit Who Gave Us The Miracle Of Life...
And Her Dark Son Breathed New Life...
The Power Of The Dragonflame Was Realizing
What Had Seemed To Be Impossible...
And This Is Then The Epic End
Of The Legendary Tale
Of The One Who Found The Light
And The Dragonflame Inside
Of The Tragic Rain Of A Thousand Flames
Of The Town's Defenders Who Faced Pain
Of Symphonies Of Enchanted Lands
Of Whispers Of Love And Hate
The Dawn Of Victory Can Breathe In The Wind
And This Would Mean The Great Rebirth
Reborn, The One Who's Giving His Life
...The Towns Lying On The Ground
Be One (Be One !) Of Us (Of Us !)
And Act As All The Prophecies Want...
To Mountains And Valleys, To Fire And Snow,
To Sun, Moon And Wisdom Rise Your Soul...
It's The Call... !
Oh No, Oh God, Oh God No
What Is Happening ?
Angeli Di Pietra Mistica
Ladri D'Anime Fieri Volano
Angeli Di Pietra Mistica
Ladri D'Anime Fieri Volano
Oh, God, My God...
It Happened... It Happened !
Dargor Mortally Struck The Queen Of The Dead
And Called The Mighty Gargoyles Against The Legions Of Darkness...
He Pushed Akron Into The Hands Of The Nordic Warrior,
Now A Dying Victim Of Terrible Tortures...
The Chosen One Let Himself Fall Into The Deep Marshes
Constraining The Black King,
With The Emerald Sword Again In His Hands, Not To Move...
They Became Food For The Snakes Of The Abyss...
But This Sacrifice Had A Terrific And Great Effect
And Akron's Death Meant The Victory
On The Evil Forces Of Abyss...Once...Forever...
Remember, Proud Brothers...
Everything Is Possible...
When You Let The Mystic Power Of The Dragonflame
Burn In Your Heart...Believe It... ...
It's The Dragonflame !
Tenebra, Tenebra... Domina !
Tenebra, Tenebra... Danna Me !
Let Me See His Face...
Furia Cieca, Caos In Me...
Demoni...
Lead Me To Your Horned Beast Named King...
I Will Call My Fire, Air, Earth,
The Oceans' Waters... To Stop Inferno's Breath !
Tenebra, Tenebra... Domina !
Tenebra, Tenebra... Danna Me !
Tenebra... Libera Me !
Uff...e domani ? Che accadrà ? Forse nulla... o forse...chissà [Parte 1 - Angeli di Pietra Mistica]
