      I really reaaaaaly want to play some D2 LoD (or D3 RoS) with you! I've had that wish ever since I read that you too play Blizzard games. It'd be a blast & such a huge honor. Greetings from the California wine country. Long live The Bards! \m/

    The tenure of kings and their magistrates
    By good men it must be deposed
    The covenant made can be voided at once
    Disanoint him, take his crown
    They plead for their king
    And they pity their lord
    Put him to death, that's what I say
    Though never so just these dancing divines
    Endue him with reason and grace
    Their gibberish
    Words dissemble the facts
    God's will
    They falsely will claim
    Let him curse my name
    On these blood-stained pages of misery
    Let him call me a tyrant so cruel
    Let him curse my name
    But remember the truth
    So there they come
    From everywhere
    They witness revenge
    Hear them calling
    "You're laden with blood
    It's spilled everywhere"
    And sorrow's everlasting
    Oh you'll be aware now
    That trial is near
    It's close at hand
    The masquerade is over
    It ends
    Remove his crown
    And bring him down
    Remove his crown
    And bring him down
    Now we shall mourn no longer
    Our prayers they've been heard
    Now we shall mourn no longer
    Our prayers they've been heard
    There's no more league
    That will bind us to the tyrant
    Our voices shall be heard
    Cause we won't take it anymore
    There's no more league
    That will blind us to the tyrant
    Our voices shall be heard
    Cause we won't take it anymore
    And we're one we are the nation
    And we're one we are the law
    And we're one we are the nation
    And we're one we are the law
    Falsely they praise
    Deify his majesty
    "He's blessed the anointed's
    Fulfilling God's will"
    Curse them all
    No further he's king
    Providence brought him straight into our hands
    Let him curse my name
    On these blood-stained pages of misery
    Let him call me a tyrant so cruel
    Let him curse my name but remember the truth
    Now let him appear
    There's joy in the air
    Now witness a new age is dawning
    In trouble alone
    He's facing despair
    Awaiting his bitter ending
    We all know he's guilty as charged
    By punishment due to his crime
    We sacrifice the wicked king
    Acknowledged by scriptures and law
    Let him curse my name
    On these blood-stained pages of misery
    Let him call me a tyrant so cruel
    Let him curse my name but remember the truth
    On these blood-stained pages of misery
    Let him call me a tyrant so cruel
    Let him curse my name but remember the truth
    We won't take it anymore
    Our voice it shall be heard
    We won't take it anymore
    But I will remember the truth
    We won't take it anymore
    Our voice it shall be heard
    We won't take it anymore
    But I will remember the truth

    This. Is. Perfect. It's so much simpler than the sound-packed-orgy-original yet so much more real, so much more involving and convincing. Grab a guitar, sing it at a campfire, make everybody happy. Love it.

  • @SeanRoycraft
    @SeanRoycraft Před 3 lety +8

    I'm scouring through Blind Guardian covers at the moment, and this one is so lovingly done. Having a great composition to perform is one thing, but interpreting and performing such a composition is another. Fantastically and memorably executed.

  • @grabarcnr
    @grabarcnr Před 3 lety +12

    I cannot stress enough how on point this arrangement is. One of the rare times I'd say the cover is better than the original. But this feels much more natural in Melanie's vocal range, and the arrangement feels more natural to the song itself. Absolutely stellar job.

    I've been on CZcams since it's beginning and I left 5, maybe 6 comments throughout all those years. And I never felt so obligated to leave a comment, as I do now (well, actually for two months already - this comment is long overdue).
    I'm also a huge fan of Blind Guardian since 90's, they've been and still are one of my 3 most loved bands. "Curse My Name" is my favourite song from "At the Edge of Time".
    Well, I just want to say, I've never seen such a beautiful cover. On any song of any band. Actually, with all my love of original version, I still think your version is better. It's just perfect, there's nothing to add or substract.
    So, from the depths of my heart - thank you! Thank you for this. Since I've heard it for the first time I listened to it numerous times, and I can't describe my feelings, except by the word "beautiful". Thank you!
    You should make it available on iTunes or any other platform. I feel bad for "stealing" it: I've downloaded this video and ripped sound out of it and uploaded to my phone, so I could have this your cover with me all the times. I will buy it the moment I see it available to buy.
    You guys made an incredible job. Thank you once again.
