Krokus - Screaming In The Night

Cada vez que escucho Screaming In The Night (Headhunter, 1983) de Krokus, me imagino unos barcos Vikingos acercándose sigilosamente a una bahía en medio de la noche. Estas naves están repletas de hombres y mujeres armados hasta los dientes y ansiosos de entrar a una batalla contra un enemigo que a mi parecer es un ejército bastante organizado y que tiene sometidos a estos guerreros.

El desembarco no es fácil ya que los estaban esperando y termina todo transformándose en una carnicería épica. Pasan las horas y estos vikingos están ganando el combate. Entre los gritos de guerra y avances de terreno, se destaca una pareja de enamorados que lucha fieramente por ellos y por la libertad de su pueblo.

Sin embargo, en medio de la lucha que ya está por terminar, la mujer es desgraciadamente apuñalada justo en el corazón. Su amante al verla muerta corre hacia ella y entre llantos y quejidos de dolor la toma entre sus brazos jurando vengarla. Ella luchó hasta la muerte por un ideal y el cumplirá ese sueño cueste lo que cueste. Mi subjetiva visión de uno de los temas más grandiosos y hermosos de la historia del Heavy Metal y que fue tocado en vivo en el Festival de Viña del Mar en 1985.

Letras / Lyrics

Sons of vengeance, can you rescue me
They got me tied up to an old oak tree
They had me screamin' and alone in the night
I'm beginning to see what's wrong and what is right
What is wrong and what is right, oh, what is wrong and what is right

The gates was gettin' rusty, as we sailed into the dark
The stars were out and shinin' against the moonlit hour
The wolves were out and howlin', most of the time
And I was cold and shiverin' and bleedin' in the night
Bleedin' in the night, oh, bleedin' in the night

Screaming in the night, fighting for my life, I'd die for you
I knew it all along, headed for the sun, our love was true (our love was true)
Screaming in the night, fighting for my life, I'd die for you
I knew it all along, headed for the sun, our love was true, oh

In the corner of the valley, we took him by surprise
The sound of steel runnin' around, above the battle cries
I found her lying lifeless, dagger through her heart
I picked her up, and held her high, and I swore to be the best
Swore to the best, oh swore to be the best, oh

Screaming in the night, fighting for my life, I'd die for you
I knew it all along, headed for the sun, our love was true (our love was true)
Screaming in the night, fighting for my life, I'd die for you
I knew it all along, headed for the sun, our love was true, oh
Screaming in the night, fighting for my life, I'd die for you, oh
I knew it all along, headed for the sun, our love was true (our love)
Screaming in the night, fighting for my life, I'd die for you, oh
I knew it all along, headed for the sun, our love was true, oh
