Farewell-Avantasia

　　无意中听到这首歌，感觉非常入味，推荐下。

这首《Farewell》来自德国金属歌剧乐队 Avantasia，给人的感觉非常深远，所有美丽的，激烈的，悲哀的，一起呈现。
开场的那一段古典的笛声和谐悠远，仿佛可以看见美丽的山峦和田野，而忽然又被现代的爆发感覆盖，吵闹却始终灵气洋溢，再由 Sharon Den Adel 穿插一段空灵的女声，加上气势洪亮的合唱，给人感觉如同在听圣歌。

　　Avantasia 是名符其实的史诗乐团，他们的《The Metal Opera Pt.I》、《The Metal Opera Pt.II》被称为是前无古人后无来者的两张金属歌剧专辑，这首歌就是出自《The Metal Opera Pt.I》。
　　
　　这两张专辑其实是一个整体，分为第一部和第二部。专辑讲述的是一个古老欧洲风格浓郁的神话故事。背景在17世纪初的修道院，Gabriel 是一个备受赏识的见习生。在一次任务中进入巫女之塔，却看见自己的妹妹 Anna 被当成巫女囚禁。困扰不已的 Gabriel 寻求导师 Jakob 的帮助，却发现 Jakob 神情有异。经过私下调查，发现 Jakob 正在阅读一本异教徒的书。好奇之下不禁翻阅其内容，却无法理解。Gabriel 偷阅异教徒书籍被发现，结果被关进大牢。而与他同室囚禁的正式 Druid 教徒 Lugaid。Lugaid 告诉他有一个精灵与精神的世界叫做 Avantasia。而那本异教徒书籍就是开启 Avantasia 的七个封印之一。
　　
　　罗马教皇 Pope Clemens IIX 与主教 Von Bicken、Jakob 受到宗教、权势的诱惑，正要进入 Avantasia 释放其中黑暗之塔的神秘人物，如此一来将会破坏 Avantasia。而失去灵魂的世人将会变成软弱的傀儡。在了解事情真相之后，Gabriel 与 Lugaid 一起逃狱，躲过监守官 Von Kronberg 的追击到达古老的沼泽。借助环境的力量进入 Avantasia。并在 Avantasia 的精灵 Elderane 和矮人 Regrin 的协助下企图拓会封印……
　　
　　这首《Farewell》是其中的第六首，表现的是 Gabriel 与 Anna 兄妹狱中短暂重逢，此前一直紧张的气氛被舒缓的音乐所暂时冲淡，旋律颇具民谣风味；优美的歌声中无意间透出的一丝悲凉又令人感慨世事无常，下次见面又不知何时了……

歌词：

Days had come, winters had gone,
and we gamboled like siblings in Paradise.
I was your knight, holding you tight
as a brother when I saw your crying eyes.
Time went by and we had to say goodbye.

Staring up to the clouds above
Children - so little and sad.
Hoping the saints could help one day
Lead us together again.
Holding the key to the alley of dreams
still in hands.

Time telling me to say farewell
but I knew that I would fight hell
and I knew: We will
go for another time we can see,
for another time we'll be free,
for no more farewell.
Time telling me to say farewell
but I knew that I would fight hell
and I knew: We will
go for another time we can see,
for another time we'll be free,
for no more farewell.

Stepbrother tell me where have you been
when they brought me to this godforsaken place.
Sign of the cross - they took me away
for healing with herbs by the way of grace.
Now I wait for the day to feed the flames.

I have been caught in a cage of despair.
My heart as a monk's cell so empty and bare.
But no holy water can make me
forget you again...

Time telling me to say farewell
but I knew that I would fight hell
and I knew: We will
go for another time we can see,
for another time we'll be free,
for no more farewell.
Time telling me to say farewell
but I knew that I would fight hell
and I knew: We will
go for another time we can see,
for another time we'll be free,
for no more farewell.
Time telling me to say farewell
but I knew that I would fight hell
and I knew: We will
go for another time we can see,
for another time we'll be free,
for no more farewell.
Time telling me to say farewell
but I knew that I would fight hell
and I knew: We will
go for another time we can see,
for another time we'll be free,
for no more farewell.
Time telling me to say farewell
but I knew that I would fight hell
and I knew: We will
go for another time we can see,
for another time we'll be free,
for no more farewell.
Time telling me to say farewell
but I knew that I would fight hell
and I knew: We will
go for another time we can see,
for another time we'll be free,
for no more farewell.
Time telling me to say farewell
but I knew that I would fight hell
and I knew: We will
go for another time we can see,
for another time we'll be free,
for no more farewell.
