Re: Rumia | Story of Galileo Galilei

Haggard - Per Aspera Ad Astra


From the America's 30s we're moving to... um... hard to say where, actually. Haggard is a 16-member band that uniquely meddles metal with classical and medieval music. Eppur Si Muove is a concept album speaking about life of famous astronomer, Galileo Galilei. Title of the album means "And yet it moves", a phrase said to have been uttered in front of the Inquisition by Galileo.


(Adesso sono qui.)
An old dungeon hidden from all the light
Thirteen candles enlighten the dark
Shadows are playing their games on the wall
And a shimmering glow fills the arch

Now, as night steps as side, and a new dawn will break
Silently a new age of science awakes

Old theory that has been wrong
Power of the universe
Will take me to the place where I belong

Through the clauds of lies and fear
In silent moments it comes near:

In my deepest hour of darkness
They will shine.
(feel my scorn)
endlessly.
(The sword that killed the unicorn)
Splenderanno . per aspera ad astra

His theories and knowledge
Mean danger in these times
And those accused of heresy
Will not longer be alive
Hide, hide your secrets well
For in your darkest hour you should dwell

(Adesso sono qui.)
An old table covered with parchments and rolls
The great one has children of four
Callisto, Europa, Ganymed e Io
The bright universe to adore

Old theory that has been wrong
Power of the universe
Will take me to the place where I belong

Through the clauds of lies and fear
In silent moments it comes near:

In my deepest hour of darkness
They will shine.
(feel my scorn)
endlessly.
(The sword that killed the unicorn)
Splenderanno . per aspera ad astra

Re: Rumia

^ Not quite sure what happened there. Our court magician speaks about paranormal activities that could be felt during NSC 88, but most say he only felt dizzy after drinking too much Pigeonian wine. Whatever.

The honor to represent Rumia on home ground went to Marty Robbins, who took us to the Wild West with his old country classic - Big Iron.



As for NSC 90, a Galician folk ensemble, Luar na Lubre, is selected to participate with this beautiful ballad - Chove en Santiago.

Re: Rumia

Civil war waging across Rumia, economic crisis, fall of many local breweries and bad weather in the last few days put future participation in NSC in question. Some political commentators have even started to foresee Rumia being destroyed by hostile empires. The threat is realistic as many heads of state express their dissatisfaction with current situation in the country:
"Many countries in Galea region don't respect human rights and Rumia is probably the worst on that matter."
"Poeple of Rumia suffer without a stable government. The democratic world must intervene."
"Rumia is a danger to global peace.",
"Pancakes."
Rumia was created 36 editions ago by descendants of refugees and exiles that were hiding in Rumian woods for centuries. It has managed to keep its independence without central authority and national defence, providing safe asylum for people. Should it collapse, most people will have to spread all across the continent.


silly roleplay up

actual message down


First of all, no! This is by no means a drama over non-qualification or anything just as silly! xD
I'd rather not say too much, cause revealing personal details to NSCers already proved to be dangerous xD But i'm going to get a challenging job soon and i feel i must focus more time on certain matters. Doesn't mean i'll have no time for pleasures. I took great pleasure in sharing my taste with others and there are many more songs i'd like to add to the collection. But it's becoming less and less worth it, as each decade's entries are becoming more tedious to listen to, and recent results aren't helping.

I'm not going to leave NSC like, NOW, i'll probably wait until i can finish it with my 4th anniversary NF. That will be NSC 95.

Re: Rumia

That's boog. But I can't deny that I've considered withdrawing too due to many of the same reasons mentioned. Recently NSC has felt like more of a duty than a pleasure and it's all escalated this edition where voting hardly crossed my mind till it was way too late. Real life has taken over for me and I've also got way too much stuff juggling to pay proper attention to NSC. NSC 92 will probably be my last as by then I'll reach my edition which I figured would be a nice milestone to take with me.

Sorry to take focus away from your own plans of withdrawal, this wasn't supposed to be announced right away, and even if yours seem a little more distant than mine it's nice to know I'm not the only one with a life that's slightly too time-consuming for NSC.

Re: Rumia

I totally understand you, personal life is in first place, but you can always try to reconcile both : )

Re: Rumia

Rumia and Zoidiac both leaving within the next editions would be a disaster. :(

Re: Rumia

To be honest, I also feel recently like withdrawing from everything Internet related, but yet, whatever I'd withdraw from, NSC would be considered only in case I'd become deaf. But I'd still be around, you can't simply get rid of me, even though I know many would wish that. I'm already in a phase of thinking if I should withdraw or not from MSN, as many of You may have noticed I don't take part in conversations or generally, I'm online only when I'm connected on my phone.

Rumia and Zoidiac withdrawing would be a really big loss, and I really hope you can manage to stay here with us. I know the songs quality and stuff is getting worse and worse for us, but still, NSC is epic.

Re: Rumia

I understand and I've been thinking about that as well (new plans are expecting to be met starting September, and I am not sure how much time I will have). Though, I did say that when I started my Masters, but things worked ok (as I managed to dedicate and distribute time to everything.. doesn't always work great). So, we'll see. I personally don't want to leave NSC, especially after seeing how long that WL list is (no offense WL-ers, but I waited long enough to join). :lol:
You do have some really authentic entries that I am fond of, and I don't see any others that would send something like that (so obviously, it won't be nice if you leave the contest). :)

Re: Rumia





Nation Song Contest 91
Avantasia - Seven Angels


Seven Angels is part of a drama enclosed in two concept albums titled The Metal Opera (pt. 1 & 2). The drama is a high quality piece of literature, telling adventure of a dominican novice who finds himself entangled into struggles of a parallel world as well as his own. read more...

Music-wise, it is a complex power metal song with emphasis on orchestral elements, the longest track on the album, featuring 7 singers out of 11 featured in the whole story. The climate is sublime and exalted.


[Believers:]

Fire falling from the sky
Rage of god is coming down
Armageddon's drawing nigh
Sinner cry ! Heathen die !
Hear the toll of pain, gloria, gloria
In the fiery rain
Fire falling from the sky
Rage of god is coming down
Armageddon's drawing nigh
Sinner cry ! Heathen die !
Hear the toll of pain, gloria, gloria

Now the time has come, the end's begun
And the only one will come

[Gabriel:]

It has been foretold
By the visions of the old
And the madness in their eyes
Said his angel will arise
That's what they know : "Holy Lord it's over, oh god
We have done no wrong
So we go where we belong
To the neverending dream
But for those who lived in sin"
They claim to know : "Holy Lord it's over, oh god"

[Pope:]

Hey Angel, can you tell me
Will you lead us to the place
Full of heat, in the fire
For we only brought disgrace

[Lugaid:]

He is not the one. If they only knew

[Bishop:]

Hey Angel, will you take us
To the judgement of his rage
Hey will we die
For we couldn't close the gate

[Lugaid:]

To the knowledge as they have been told

[Gabriel:]

I don't know how could I prove
Nothing but the cloven hoof
Reigning over them as well
While they keep on fighting hell
Babylon the scarlet whore has come

We are the seven, judgement of heaven
Why don't we know : We are the angels
It's revelation, soul castigation
Fire will burn us away
We are the seven, judgement of heaven
Why don't we know : We are the angels
It's revelation, soul castigation
Fire will burn us away

[Pope:]

Redeemer, devastion
Hope it only has been ment
For the sin of the dreamer
who broke the low you'd sent

[Lugaid:]

He is not the one. If they only knew

[Jakob:]

Hey, don't know but i wondered:
When we lost the seal again
Maybe stoned by the incense
Do we rise or just descent

[Lugaid:]

He is not the one. If they only knew

[Jakob:]

I don't know how could I prove
Nothing but the cloven hoof
Reigning over them as well
While they keep on fighting hell
Babylon the scarlet whore has come

We are the seven, judgement of heaven
Why don't we know : We are the angels
It's revelation, soul castigation
Fire will burn us away
We are the seven, judgement of heaven
Why don't we know : We are the angels
It's revelation, soul castigation
Fire will burn us away

[Solo: Henjo Richter]

[Voice of the tower:]

Woe to you longing for the wisdom
Woe to you longing for the light
All my sons bring me back what is mine
Or you'll end burning in this night
Woe to you longing for the wisdom
Woe to you longing for the light
All my sons bring me back what is mine
Or you'll end burning in this night

[Solo: Timo Tolkki]

[Gabriel:]

Once I have been lost in what they told me to believe
Until I felt in burning deep inside to set my spirit free
And I escaped to another world to help the little men
who make me plunge into philosophy - to feel my
mind again... No one left to hold me tight - on the
`real`other side - but her in chains

I had been alone till the madman come along
With the knowledge and silver long beard
He was the first man ever teaching how I could be free
Helping me to find - oh - the mind and the soul
They've been trying to hide away...
And he promised we'd help Anna if I'd help him to
go all the way

[Lugaid:]

Go all the way into the world of minds
Open the gate and do not close behind
Prevent them from hiding the light away
Prevent them from tellin' us tales
Or the end of all they scare us with will be a
million empty brains...

[Gabriel:]

I could bring you what you told me
The seal they need to close the gate forever
But still I haven't found a meaning
Anna will we ever be together

[Regrin:]

You've been fighting for your soul
And sometimes it takes a toll
Hope one day you'll understand
What it means to hold in hands
What they call a fantasy
It is nothing but a key
To the world that now you're in
That they call a wicked dream

[Elderane:]

When you're walking on your own
When you're broken and alone
You may feel us from inside -
on the other side of life.
Ohohohoh...

[Gabriel:]

I've been fighting for my soul
And sometimes it takes a toll
Hope one day we'll understand
What it means to hold in hands
What we call a fantasy
But it's nothing but a key
To the world that now I'm in
That we call a wicked dream

Oh, walking on my own
When I'm broken and alone
I may feel you from inside
From the other side of life
