Gods of Metal 2007

After more than a week of delay, here there are some memories from the Gods of Metal 2007 in Milano (Idroscalo). The annual Italian Metal outdoor venue took place the 2-3 June.
I went with Enrico and Umberto to enjoy the secon day (Sunday 3rd)
The program for that day was the following: Sinestesia (Italy), DGM (Itlaly), Anathema (England), Symphony X (USA), Dark Tranquillity (Sweden), Dimmu Borgir (Norway), Blind Guardian (Germany), Dream Theater (USA), Heaven & Hell (England).
The starting of the concert was characterized by mud, mud, mud, mud..... the previous day was rainy. Going on, the situation got a bit better thanks to the sun shining.
The result was a pleasant day of metal music in a good company in the middle of the italian metal people of every sort.

Dark Tranquillity on stage: great performance and.... the singer is really cool ;)

Wait for sleep [Images and Words: Moore]

Standing by the window
Eyes upon the moon

Hoping that the memory
will leave her spirit soon

She shuts the doors and lights
And lays her body on the bed
Where images and words are running deep

She has too much pride to pull
the sheets above her head
So quietly she lays and waits for sleep

She stares at the ceiling
And tries not to think
And pictures the chains
She's been trying to link again
But the feeling is gone

And water can't cover her memory
And ashes can't answer her pain
God give me the power to take
breath from a breeze
And call life from a cold metal frame

In with the ashes
Or up with the smoke from the fire
With wings up in heaven
Or here, lying in bed
Palm of her hand to my head
Now and forever curled in my heart
And the heart of the world

The end: the sun is shining on the tired metaller heads!!!!
