bir (bkz: nitin sawhney) parcasi olarak the pilgrim :

woke up in the morning in a temple
kinda lucky on my feet for it was central
so i walk across the village
saw a group of kids pillage
and i thought to myself i might be ment to
you see
pilgrims in the town
all seem to hold a frown
say all they wanna be is diggy down
you know speck thought he'd ask
but figured it's just a mask
tthis guy's on something else that's profound

i'm not the stool or the fool or the leader here to rule
not the lover or the fighter who came here to duel
but i thought i looked into, but i walked into
so i can understand all the rules, cool?

life is like a puzzle not pieced yet
might take a village ever long to see that
don't break your ties meet my pal compromise
and the kid you wanna be you can be that

who's ever watched the world that's my motto
don't ever wanna play the head honcho dig but huh
if you try to push i won't beat around the bush
straight up you're getting dissed on the pronto.

life is like a puzzle not pieced yet
might take a village ever long to see that
don't break your ties meet my pal compromise
and the kid you wanna be you can be that

if i could, i'd solve the problems of the world that exist
if i could always chill, i would without resist
if you weren't so litteral, brother you might get it
pack my bags, tambourines, and jeans so don't sweat it

life is like a puzzle not pieced yet
might take a village ever long to see that
don't break your ties meet my pal compromise
and the kid you wanna be you can be that

life is like a puzzle not pieced yet

life is like a puzzle not pieced yet.

as the journey continues i gain current instincts
i feel i know what they must be thinking, for instance
when they speak in riddles i'm left with the question
but won't stop arguments to kill attention
they all got a sixth sense to be one another
so pilgrims seek refuge undercover
where it's fly like birds to live a lot is absurd
try telling that to this kid named unver

life is like a puzzle not pieced yet

i met him on tour a week on for twenty four
he was born in the village, but left in ninety four
now he's still got probs he doesn't know how to solve
i said, "unver, i've been there before"
in the light of understanding i forgot it
sometimes the boat shakes when you rock it
i told him we are like family, a part of humanity
don't overdo, and don't toss it.

and the kid you wanna be you can be that

he dug and moved on with his life
'cause he digs it gets real dark at night
don't want a collar that's blue or a reflection of you
just wants us to get his plight
myself i'd like the years just to take me away
it might leave a part of this world in dismay
but the village calls the pilgriming negroes
after all i'm just one needle in the hay
now what i'm speaking in is symbolics
but you can call it what you want to call it
see all that i do is throw words, and i hope that you caught it
only got one arrow but i aim for two targets

life is like a puzzle not pieced yet
might take a village ever long to see that
don't break your ties meet my pal compromise
and the kid you wanna be you can be that

life is like a puzzle not pieced yet
might take a village ever long to see that
don't break your ties meet my pal compromise
and the kid you wanna be you can be that
you can be that, you can be that

her dinlediğimde zihnimde "sen sev beni ay kıııız" sözlerini totomdan oturttuğum bir girişe sahip, bilmesem ayna şarkısı diyeceğim maiden parçası. aslında şarkının gerisi muhteşem tabi, ama o giriş. sen sev beni ay...

müziğinde bir zafer edası bulunduran müthiş iron maiden eseri.

öyle bir girişi var ki şarkının, o riff'ten sonra osuruk kaydetseler oturup dinleriz zaten yarım saat. bu arada wishbone ash'in de the pilgrim isminde bir şarkısı var. maiden amcaların idolüdür wishbone ash.

iron maiden eseri.

türkçe sözleri yazalım ki dimağlar şenlensin \o/ :

ölüm ve cehenneme giden anahtarlar
hasta krallık kaybetmeye terk edildi
günah zincirleri ve kalpler kırılacak
hacıların sürecine girilecek

şeytanın gücünü bastırıyor
ve sonsuz savaşa hazırlanıyor
ağrılı uzuvlar ve baygınlık geçiren ruhlar
kutsal savaş payını alacak

özgürlük ve umut; ilahi..
suyu şaraba çeviriyor
sana veda etmeyi teklif ediyor
cennetin krallığından cehenneme

ruh kutsal, yaşam sonsuz
uyandır beni, al evine
din güneşin doğuşu, pagan güneşin batışı
ileriye doğru seyahat başladı

cesaret bulmak ve merhamet istemek için
kötüden iyi çıkar
suyu arındır; bizi günahlarımızdan arındır
bizimle yap yapacağını

sonra hak ettiğim görünecek mi
hatalarımı üstlenmem, duymadan
ancak o zaman kabul edeceğim
sonsuz cehennemimi

şimdi, kutsal işaretini ver bize
suyumuzu şaraba çevirerek…
sana veda etmeyi teklif ediyor
cennetin krallığından cehenneme

ruh kutsal, yaşam sonsuz
uyandır beni, eve al
din güneşin doğuşu, pagan güneşin batışı
ileriye doğru seyahat başladı

iron maiden'ın a matter of life and death albümünde yer alan 5.07 süreye sahip bir gers/harris parçası.

(iron maiden fan - 19 Haziran 2006 15:11)

a matter of life and death albümünden ...sözleri de şöyle ki :

the keys to death and hell
the ailing kingdom doomed to fail
the bonds of sin and heart will break
the pilgrims course will take

quelling the devils might
and ready for eternal fight
aching limbs and fainting soul
holy battles take their toll

liberty and hope divine
changing the water into wine
so to you we bid farewell
kingdom of heaven to hell

spirit holy life eternal
raise me up take me home
pilgrim sunrise pagan sunset
onward journey begun

to courage find and gracious will
deliver good from ill
clean the water clean our guilt
with us do what you will

then will my judge appear
bear no false angel that i hear
for only then i will confess
to my eternal hell

now give us our holy sign
changing the water into wine
so to you we bid farewell
kingdom of heaven to hell

spirit holy life eternal
raise me up take me home
pilgrim sunrise pagan sunset
onward journey begun

now give us our holy sign
changing the water into wine
so to you we bid farewell
kingdom of heaven to hell

spirit holy life eternal
raise me up take me home
pilgrim sunrise pagan sunset
onward journey begun
