132. Moonspell - Alma Mater


Band: Moonspell }{ Song: Alma Mater }{ Album: Wolfheart
Composer: Moonspell }{ Year: 1995

Review

A dark song from a dark era, of the Portuguese band. A fantastic European, gothic metal song, with excellent vocal lines, which create most of the song’s atmosphere. The music composition has doom metal characteristics, with all the brilliant monotony emphasizing the darkness of the song. Concentrate in every second and enjoy…


Lyrics:

Mother tongue speaks to me
In the strongest way I’ve ever seen
I know that she sees in me
Her proudest child, her purest breed

She speaks to me in colors
That I can’t really understand
I only know that they are ours
And to those Ill proudly bend

For I am your only child
And you my dearest mystery
From an ancient throne I defy the world
To kneel before the power within.

For I am your only child
And you my dearest mystery
World can’t you see it?
Am I alone in my belief?

Virando costas ao mundo
Orgulhosamente sòs
Glória antiga, volta a nós!

Alma mater!

Breaking waves announce my bride
It is the only way the sea could sing
Legends of Lusitanian pride
He sings the words I cannot spring

At the moon mountain six wolves cry
Your lost glory well regain or die

For I am her only child
And she is my dearest mystery
Pagan gods in conspiracy
For the sword of tyranny

Mother tongue has spoke to thee
In the strongest way they’ve ever seen
World can’t you see?
I am not alone in my belief.

Virando costas ao mundo
Orgulhosamente sòs
Glória antiga, volta a nós!

Alma mater!

Mother tongue has spoke to me
In the strongest way Ive ever seen
I know that she sees in me
Her proudest child, her purest breed

She speaks to me in colours
I cant really understand
I only know that they are ours
And to those Ill proudly bend

For I am her only child
And she is my dearest mystery
From an ancient throne I defy the world
To kneel before the powers within.

For I am her only child
And she is my dearest tragedy
World cant you see it?
I am not alone in my belief.

Virando costas ao mundo
Orgulhosamente sòs
Glória antiga, volta a nós!

Alma mater!
