【專輯介紹】
　　金屬界無人不知、 無人不曉的ANGRA’98超級新碟!
　　重金屬與弦樂器的完美結合!
　　歌舞昇平、暴力肆虐的巴西, 居然出了Angra這樣優秀的金屬樂團實屬難得, 當然另一個巴西國寶Sepultura也是耳熟能響的。說到Angra的歷史, 首腦人物主唱/琴鍵手Andre Matos原來自Viper, 當他將古典音樂融入第二張專輯"Theater of Fate"且頗受好評後, 因為樂風走向的分歧而出走, 之後便一邊鑽研古典音樂一邊尋找理想團員, 終於, 他找到前Spitfire吉他手Rafael Bittencourt, 一位身兼古典與電吉他功力的演奏高手, 該團鼓手Marco Antunes(已離團組Wizards, 現任為Ricardo Confessori)也送作堆一同加入, 擁有一流實力的貝斯手則出身自Firebox, 最後一位加入的是名不可多得的創新理念型吉他手Kiko Loureiro, 怎麼說呢? 他不為速度而狂飆, 事實上他很能飆, 也不為前衛/power而造作, 但總是作出有創意兼容力與美的音符, 金屬界少數有頭腦的樂手! 這些樂壇精英終於於1991年結成, 往後的作品"Angels Cry"(’93), "Holy Land"(’96), "Freedom Call"(’96-EP)與"Holy Live"(’97)張張都擄獲了眾多金屬迷之心, 在各國雜誌所獲得的超高評價不說, 光是"Angels Cry"在日本就賣超過10萬張, 在台灣也有千張以上, 甚至更多!

01 Wings Of Reality

Day by day
Wheels keep turning round
And everynight
Many restless creatures longing for the dawn
To heal away
Their eternal pain...

Hope the saints arrive
Bringing the signs
Of treasures to be found
Now we walk alone
And we've got to know
The secrets all around

Breaking our hearts of stone,
Tasting our lives,
Setting us free to decide...

02 Petrified Eyes

We're armed and ready to attack
To strike the city of all desires
Then calm the waves that lead to passion
When all reality turns back to ashes

Over the hills, across the sea
Into the abyss of a bygone time
Lest we forget what really matters
And the bewildered look up to the sky
Fallen comrades lay on the ground
Victors in death they make no sound

Petrify my eyes
Behold the sights of battle lost

03 Lisbon

Everynight I say a prayer
Look at me: nobody cares
Just a mirror, passing by...
Looked inside:
I've lost my pride...!

Stay with me not for so long
It's alright: no needs, no hope
Such a miracle, looking back...
Time gone by, and life wasn't bad...!

Lord, light my way
Fill these withered, careless hands...

Oh, skies are falling down
Skies are falling down
Oh, skies are falling down

04 Metal Icarus

You live in a world that is just
Way too strange to conceive
Angel's dressed in black
Most of the people who seem to be
Lost in the dark
- Are they all too real?

Always a good time, never lonely
Suddenly realized the blood red tears from my eyes
There was nothing much
I could do
But watch you die

Time after time
Burnt your wings on the sun
Metal Icarus

05 Paradise

Since the time of the ancients
When gladiators fought
Turning movements of action to passion
Their life was a game

See the blood of the bodies
Spilling onto the floor?
How could people applaud it
It's madness it's all so insane!

Blood, through your heart
Never stops for one minute
And there you will find:
- There is no other way!

The arena's still crowded
But the rules take new forms

06 Mystery Machine

The sun rises over the tide
Waves breaking over the rocks
Again and again like an echo
From the mountine tops

This feeling you just can't hide
Like an open page revealed for all to see
You breathe hard,
Like the sea breeze coming in
Hold your arms to the sky

Don't let clouds hide the sun
Don't runaway cos' you can't hide from thunder
Cold sweat glistening on your brow

07 Fireworks

It's New Year Day;
Looking up to the sky
We all await for the fireworks to fly
And I hold you
And I stand by you now...

Over the bay darkness breaks to a glow
But still the sands keep on running too slow
And I love you
And I care for you now...

Green comes after white
Night turns to day into the fire
Look at our dreams flying away
Climbing up higher

Along the shore timeless faces reflect

08 Extreme Dream

Living a dream just for one night
Feels like the last day of my life
Roaming somewhere just for a while
When all the feelings lay dorment inside
Here we go, marching on...

Unconsciously far from this world
We're knowing foundations of all
in such extreme virtuality
All we don't need is the proof to believe

Here we go, marching ahead
Buried deep in the sand...

I recognize this place,

09 Gentle Change

I see the stars in your eyes
Portraying my face in the future
Nice is the weather outside
But I'll stay at home
Oh! Waiting for the rain...

Memories of when we were young
Wishing so bad to be older
Now you may look to the past
The only way forward

...Lighting up another cigarette
Playing cool while cracking up inside
Saying hi to people's like saying goodbye
Laughing, but wishing to cry

10 Speed

Speed, run the thoughts inside your brain
Try to catch them once
And you'll be alone
There's nowhere to go

Speed, all the memories will come
Try to make them live
And you'll get so lost
From the present to the past

With speed we go
But still don't know
What's hidden in there
Our time is over!

Speed, like a thunderbolt
The future will take its place
Then could you stop time

11 Rainy Nights

Rainy nights can easily go
The morning sun, a lover so
A cup of tea still held tight in her hand
And tomorrow'll be just like yesterday

Taken by promises
She's just begun to feel the heat
From the fire, and so

Crazy thoughts out of control
Somewhere else away from home
An angels's kiss, the fresh breeze on her face
Closed her eyes and walked into the haze
- And fade away
