The blue marble and the new soul

Nevermore:"The blue marble and the new soul", (fra albummet "The obsidian conspiracy", 2010):

Welcome to planet Earth
Tread your steps carefully
For the ground may twist and turn
Choose your friends wisely
For just when you think you know someone
They could abandon you with scorn
Oh little one
Your mother will hold you in her arms
Your father will teach you his dignity and charm

Welcome to planet hate
To this emotion that I berate
Yet some people force me to feed my violent seed
What have we become?
The damage remains and cannot be undone
Oh little one
Your brother may stab you in the back and laugh
Your sister will love you unconditionally
As all life should be

What have we become?
The damage remains and cannot be undone

Stare into the sky with newborn perfect eyes
Oh little one enjoy your time
There will be heartache there will be rain
And joy I can´t explain
My precious little one, explore your time

Your mother will hold you in arms and smile
Your father will teach you his dignity and charm

(Den har været længe undervejs, opfølgeren til Nevermore´s store succés fra 2005, "This godless endeavor", men sidste år kom den så omsider...."The obsidian conspiracy". Det nye album er lettere tilgængeligt end forgængeren og meget mere direkte i sit udtryk...., der er ikke så meget omsvøb her!
Rent faktisk synes jeg, at "The obsidian...." er endnu bedre end "This godless....", men det er jo en smagssag. En af mine favoritter fra det nye album er den smukke "The blue marble and the new soul", som ethvert barn bør have i dåbsgave :-)).
