Sacred serenity

Death:"Sacred serenity", (fra albummet "Symbolic", 1995):

Whereever we go, whatever we do
Your shadow is not far behind our steps
And our breath
Protecting and watching all...
Observing spirits on the wall
What are they telling you?

Following all instincts that are pure
Oblivious to time that they may be the cure

Chorus:
Sacred is the gift that they
have without knowing
Serenity is knowing it´s safe
from destruction of time

Maybe we could take a step back
And discover what leads us to attack
Time that is short - distance unknown
For them, each day life has just begun
Observing spirits on the wall
What are they telling you?

Following all instincts that are pure
Oblivious to time that they may be the cure

Repeat chorus

(tekst: Chuck Schuldiner)

(Ét af de absolut mest suveræne death metal-albums, der nogensinde er blevet udgivet er helt klart Death´s klassiker fra 1995 "Symbolic". Når mit humør ikke er så højt, plejer det at hjælpe at tage "Symbolic" frem fra pladesamlingen og lytte til albummet :-) "Symbolic" blev desværre Florida-bandets næstsidste studie-album, inden frontmant Chuck Schuldiner ulykkeligvis døde af kræft i hjernen i december 2001, i en alder af blot 34 år. Jeg elsker rigtig mange af numrene på "Symbolic", og specielt en sang som "Sacred serenity" bliver jeg næppe nogensinde træt af. Især når Chuck på "Sacred serenity" synger "Maybe we could take a step back and discover what leads us to attack"....DET ER RENT BUDDHISME-GUF!).
