| Diabolic Symphony
Through timeless space I'm falling
Trapped in a void
Tormented souls are calling
From diabolic soil
A distant horizon of fire
Disharmonic chime of bells
Silhouettes are rising higher
"Seven towers of hell"
"I feel"
Spirits of profanity descend upon my soul

Steel Attack никогда не относились к первой лиге пауэр металл команд, да и во второй они были далеко не на первых ролях, что нисколько не мешало им строгать альбом за альбомом с завидным постоянством. Похвально, что дело не ограничивалось обычным использованием идей дебютника – шведы предпочитали, и всячески пытались, найти свое лицо. Это у них почти получилось на третьем диск “Predators Of Empire”, материал которого, хоть и не претендовал на уникальность, был в меру приятным и позитивным. Но Steel Attack решили вновь пуститься во все тяжкие, и уже через год, к четвертому диск “Enslaved” от былого задора не осталось и следа: на место веселого пауэра пришел мрачноватый и нудноватый angry power с небольшими неоклассическими вставками. Столь длинное предисловие дано лишь по одной причине – “Diabolic Symphony” не подготовил для потенциального слушателя никаких сюрпризов: перед нами все такой же мрачноватый, малохитовый и скучный dark power, каким он был на прошлом альбоме “Enslaved”. Голос Ренни Хемлина по-прежнему холоден и однообразен, и то, что воспринимается как своеобразная фишка в одном-двух треках, на протяжении целого альбома вызывает приступ зевоты. Если первые треки, с определенной натяжкой, можно назвать хитовыми (“Swallow Seas Of Hatred” и “Diabolic Symphony”, на которую снято видео, размещенное в качестве бонуса на лицензионной версии альбома), то ближе к концовке различить их практически невозможно – они буквально сливаются в одну протяжную и нудную песню. “Diabolic Symphony” может понравиться тем, кто ценит в современном пауэре однообразность и жесткость, на дух не перенося сопливых клавиш, однако имейте ввиду, что и в данном направлении есть группы значительно сильнее Steel Attack (Диск предоставлен компанией Mystic Empire) |

A diabolic symphony
Enchanting me, calling my name
A diabolic symphony
Written in blood is my destiny
A constant pressure to my head
A pounding inside
Dividing my soul and my body
My god it cuts like a knife
Am I in hell? Am I dead?
Am I dreaming? Am I alive?
"I feel"
Spirits of profanity descend upon my soul
A diabolic symphony
Enchanting me, calling my name
A diabolic symphony
Written in blood is my destiny
Dead Forever
As I travel the path of my darkest dreams
The demons of my conscience is haunting me
For all malicious deeds, all I've said and done
For all the scars to deep to overcome
"Now it is time to bleed for your sins"
"For all vicious, evil deeds you've done"
In another dimension
A world down below
You wish to be dead forever
To make up no more
In another dimension
You're trapped down below
Unbearable never ending pain
Forever more
Merciless visions of what will come
A voice in my head – "you'll become undone"
Rancorous laughing, speaking the words
"Never again will you see the sun"
"Now it is time to bleed for your sins"
"For all vicious, evil deeds you've done"
In another dimension
A world down below
You wish to be dead forever
To make up no more
In another dimension
You're trapped down below
Unbearable never ending pain
Forever more
Shallow Seas Of Hatred
My eyes wide open, still I am blind
To all that's in my way, to all that's not mine
To anything that is weaker then I
To anyone less strong
God help me I'm sorry, I'm vicious no more
I beg you, forgive me, I know I was wrong
Lonely are the path I wander
My pride is far deom what is was
Shallow are the seas of hatred
I feel I will drown, I'm out of control
The lies I have spoken to set my self high
The pain I have caused for the sake of my greed
Remorseful I wish it all to be gone
All to be undone
God help me I'm sorry, I'm vicious no more
I beg you, forgive me, I know I was wrong
Lonely are the path I wander
My pride is far deom what is was
Shallow are the seas of hatred
I feel I will drown, I'm out of control
Lonely are the path I wander
My pride is far deom what is was
Shallow are the seas of hatred
I feel I will drown, I'm out of control
I will drown
I'm out of control
Dreaming
Oceans of fire, skies darker than black
Welcome to hell there's no turning back
It's time for you to die again again again
In sulphur flames, forever burning
Excruciating, forever yearning
To die for real to end this ever lasting pain
Dreaming, I must be dreaming
I can't remember dying
Screaming, I must be dreaming
I can't remember dying
Relentless torture, I can't close my eyes
As I see my self repeatingly die
I see and feel the pain again again again
I suffer I'm broken I'm bleeding inside
A voice repeating it is time to die
I kneel and beg for mercy
End this nightmare now!
Dreaming, I must be dreaming
I can't remember dying
Screaming, I must be dreaming
I can't remember dying
Welcome to my world
Welcome simple mortal
A taste of pain to make you bow
Subjected to my force
Welcome to my world, welcome simple mortal
Someone please
Someone please release me – bring me home!
Dreaming, I must be dreaming
I can't remember dying
Screaming, I must be dreaming
I can't remember dying
Dreaming, I must be dreaming
I can't remember dying
Embraced By Fear
Sleep child, sleep now
Leave me now for your dreamscapes
Dream child, dream now
Beyond the haze your dream awaits
It is real now, the world you're in
A barren, cold and gruesome place
A veil of mist, a cold caress
Afraid to die you pray to wake
Soaring in a dream of illusion
Somehow you know – the end is near
Horrid visions all so elusive
So cold and alone – you're embraced by fear
You try to scream, but there's
No sound from your voice
In the sky the last star is falling
All fades to silence, no echoes resound
And no one can hear you call
You know it's a dream
Yet still you're afraid
Never to wake up again
"If I die before I wake
I pray the lord my soul to take"
Soaring in a dream of illusion
Somehow you know – the end is near
Horrid visions all so elusive
So cold and alone – you're embraced by fear
Invisible God
I am forever searching
This impossible maze
Lost to this world I'm crying
My mind's in a haze
I suffer the pain of earthly hell
In violent pain I scream
Lost and confused I am
The circle of life is spinning
On and on and on
So hard to comprehend
When we're gone the world keeps turning
On and on and on
We live to serve and to hail
An invisible god
Never seen, still we're afraid
To bleed for our carnal sins
I suffer the pain of earthly hell
In violent pain I scream
Lost and confused I am
The circle of life is spinning
On and on and on
So hard to comprehend
When we're gone the world keeps turning
On and on and on
Sanctimonious
I gaze at the darkened sky
Calling out inside in search of guidance
What is truth, what is a lie?
How we are to know as you keep your silence?
It's so hard to solve this maze
To get the pieces right
I deny your existence
As I'm at the top of the world
I beg you to help me
As I begin to fall
The mortal man – your creation
Needs to see to believe – sanctimonious
Sleepless I suffer through nights
Just a glimpse of existence
My soul for a sign
What is righteous, who deserves your light
How are we to learn as you keep us blind?
It's so hard to solve this maze
To get the pieces right
I deny your existence
As I'm at the top of the world
I beg you to help me
As I begin to fall
The mortal man – your creation
Needs to see to believe – sanctimonious
Haunting
I hear your voice
When I'm dreaming
Whisper my name
I see your face, know that you mean
I am to blame
Nothing is what it seems
I never meant you to harm
Something went wrong
I never meant to hurt you
Never thought what I did was wrong
I tried my best to save you
I wasn't there, now you're gone
I still can see, the fear in your eyes
A desperate stare
Entreat my help "don't let me die!"
I tried my best, I lost the fight
Nothing is what it seems
I never meant you to harm
Something went wrong
I never meant to hurt you
Never thought what I did was wrong
I tried my best to save you
I wasn't there, now you're gone
Show Me The Way
The road of life I am bound to travel
It's hard to know which way to choose
Which one will lead to a higher level?
One way for glory, one to lose
It's such a labyrinth I feel astray
No one to guide me, to lead the way
Show me the way
The way through this maze that's called life
Which is leading me astray
Show me the way
The way through this maze that's called life
Which is leading me astray
Nothing is without a reason
It all is meant to be
It's all a part of the game
A game of a million endings
Make a choice, either way you loose
It's such a labyrinth I feel astray
No one to guide me, to lead the way
Show me the way
The way through this maze that's called life
Which is leading me astray
Show me the way
The way through this maze that's called life
Which is leading me astray
Show me the way
The way through this maze that's called life
Which is leading me astray
Show me the way
The way through this maze
Leading me astray
Winter Hell
Welcome to the world of no tomorrow
A reign in blood, despair and sorrow
A world in constant shadow
A world of constant pain
As the sun goes down
In this barren land
As the sun goes down
In this winter hell – so cold!
Welcome to the world of no tomorrow
A reign in blood, despair and sorrow
A world in constant shadow
A world of constant pain
As the sun goes down
In this barren land
As the sun goes down
In this winter hell – so cold!
Lady of winter, what have we
Done to deserve your grace?
As the sun goes down
In this barren land
As the sun goes down
In this winter hell – so cold!
I Bow My Head In Shame
Let me be, leave me alone
You dance of the edge of
The border of wrath you are blind
To blind to see the anger deep inside
It's taking control
I can't help what I become
There's no tears in my eyes
Even though I am crying
All is black out of control
Hidden deep within my soul
The anger in me is not mine
Another me – another time
Now it all begins again
Starting all over at
The point where it died
Staring eyes
I bow my head in shame
For what's done
I am the one to blame
There's no tears in my eyes
Even though I am crying
All is black out of control
Hidden deep within my soul
The anger in me is not mine
Another me – another time
The Other Side
Don't walk alone child, in the dark
Cause out of darkness, demons rise
In the moonlight, in the mist
Evil is lurking – staring eyes
Save'em
From all evil and all bad
Save'em
Help them safe to home and care
Save'em
From all evil and despair
Save'em
Make them sour above all bad
Don't walk to close child
To the house on the hill
It's possessed by powers
From the other side
Keep on walking
Walk away from the mansion
The house and it's powers
Will be gone at dawn
Save'em
From all evil and all bad
Save'em
Help them safe to home and care
Save'em
From all evil and despair
Save'em
Make them sour above all bad
