Bruce Dickinson lança “Rain On The Graves”, que estará em seu primeiro álbum solo em 19 anos

“Rain On The Graves“, é a segunda música de “The Mandrake Project” que o cantor libera. Assim como “Afterglow Of Ragnarok” a canção mostra um Dickinson um pouco diferente daquele que o público vê no Maiden. O som continua pesado, mas de maneira mais direta e menos “épica” do que aqauele praticado pela banda onde ele canta, com uma pausa em meados dos anos 90, desde 1982.

“The Mandrake Project”, o primeiro trabalho solo de Dickinson em quase duas décadas, sai no dia 1° de março e ele tamém irá mostrá-lo no Brasil. Os shows, sete no total, acontecem entre os dias 24 de abril e 4 de maio (datas e informações aqui)

Confira a letra da canção:

Rain On The Graves
(Bruce Dickinson)

In a country churchyard
I came across a man
He smiled and slowly beckoned me
With a trembling hand
Did you come to gamble
Or did you come to pray
What’s the meaning of your business here
On a stormy day
The raindrops spattered on the tomb
From grey and leaden Skies
Deny me once, deny me twice
But don’t look in my eyes…

There is rain on the graves
There is rain on the graves
There is rain on the graves
It’s just rain, rain, rain
There is rain on the graves
But you came to be saved
There is rain on the graves
Let it wash your soul of dying

Faithless, he denied the truth
That he had come to steal
To kneel before the poet
Not the altar or the priest
He’s washed himself in misery
Before he came to pray
He’d hoped in his false penitence
Some sympathy he’d sway

There is rain on the graves
There is rain on the graves
There is rain on the graves
It’s just rain, rain, rain
There is rain on the graves
But you came to be saved
There is rain on the graves
It’s just rain, rain, rain

I am the God of sinners
You are what I have made
You’re talking to your likeness
And my shadow is your shade
Stand up and face the mirror
It’s the image that you crave
But i’ll be here when you’re long gone
I’ll see you in that grave
Ha, ha, ha

There is rain on the graves
There is rain on the graves
There is rain on the graves
It’s just rain, rain, rain
There is rain on the graves
Rain on the graves
There is rain on the graves
