Sven B. Schreiber (sbs) With this purchase I complete my collection of "Eternal Wanderers" albums issued so far - hoping for new releases someday soon. "The Door To A Parallel World" doesn't sound as perfect as the band's more recent recordings - quite obviously, it's a snapshot of an early phase of a highly successful evolutionary process towards an individual place in the realm of progressive rock. Tracks 1, 4, and 7 are written by keyboardist Elena Kanevskaya, tracks 2, 3, 5, and 6 by guitarist Tatyana Kanevskaya. Favorite track: Revival.

How long I’d been facing the dark Till I met you How long I’d been suffering your love Till you left me How long I’d been crying in the rain Till the rainbow arrayed the sky How long will I live on this earth till it comes Time to die. How long I’d seen restless dreams Till the sun rose How long I’d been blinded with light Till the stars opened How long I’d been strangely quiet Till at last I was struck by pain And despair had been rending me till I felt Free again. Refrain. And the gates opened, Mist of clouds hid me As they melt I saw the star to lead me Where the trees faded Days of songs ended Where just stray spirits of old will meet me. How long I’d been climbing steep slopes Till I made the halt I’d been searching then long with my eyes Till I knew where to look for my road. How long I’d been trembling with cold Till warm rays made flowers bloom And the tune out of centuries past Broke the gloom. Refrain.

Wandering alone among rocks morose and sheer Sullen forests, rivers and hills His cloak is weather-stained, but his voice is strong and clear, The power of a king it reveals. Ride along, o Elendil’s heir! Let the fresh wind take weariness away, Your sword is sharp, your heart is fair, Who knows where you’ll meet the coming day? The horns call for a war, evil forces have awaken, Torches light the blackness of night. Sacred ties of friendship never will be shaken, Helping in the desperate fight. Just hold on, o Elendil’s heir! Don’t give up hope, the dawn will soon arise! Its first rays will play in your hair, And kindle again the fire in your eyes. Ride along, o Elendil’s heir! Through joy and peril, world without end, Out of time, no one guesses where, A marvellous vision in the fading land.

Be it so! These endless heights, Stern, attracting, covered with ice. Luminous stars over vast crevasses Cleaving cold like grave immortal glaciers. What’s the practical sense and the goal? It’s inside — this peremptory call. One idea drives demented Now sanity can’t be mended at all. Your soul flew away with the roamer-wind When you broke down in your mad endeavour, You eagered to be too close to Heavens And you remained there for ever. In solemnity of woeful dawns There’s hidden deep silent mourn. Rocks like idols — severe and dire — Meet the soul aspiring higher. Sudden fear — now lie on stones, And fatigue — that spreads to the bones, Strength drainage with fits of confusion Facing live some dizzy illusion. The aching heart stopped still like the sea after storm When you lost control in your mad endeavour, You eagered to be too close to Heavens And you remained there for ever. In the depth of skies you saw the light, You felt off your head and cried “Oh, Savior!..” You were too close to Heavens, And you remained there for ever.

No Way Back 05:49
Ignition sequence started All the engines grew alive Gathering its highest speed The grey starship rushed into the sky Will I see you again someday, Oh my good old mother Earth? Will I breath your air again And retrace the steps to the land of my birth? Gravity gave way At the escape velocity And presently I’ll hail The stupendous Sea of Eternity Through mysterious dark substance Past Mars and Saturn, into the void My ship will flow in silence Within the vast realm of absolute cold. Nothing but deep sorrow Is as true as the cosmic night Nothing but thought’s flow Can be faster than the flashing speed of light! Nebulae’s bizarre forms Will emerge before my eyes I’ll behold the far worlds Of great burning and grinding ice Only of weird black holes No human eye will see a sign, Devouring all that comes too close Catching light, and twisting space and time! After years of wandering I will comprehend one day That there is no way back To the place from whence I came Never more… For line of Time has broken, And thousands years have gone… And space will forever be My home.

Revival 07:41
Endless night spreads its wings around me Thread of years is torn On the shore of the starlit sea I am standing alone And behind me the land lies lifeless Ruins of ages of rage Veiled in deep silent sorrow of lost ancient realms Mysterious and strange. Waves are rolling with music restless While old mountains stand calm And I’m thinking of those blessed days When the world was still young. But to blind and delirious madness Hatred opened the gate When the dark chaos was pierced with cries of repent It was too late. But one day time will heal the old wounds Of the land tired from pain Slender saplings will break the stones Flowers will bloom here again. And lost cities will rise from ashes Songs of light will revive, And the dust will be swept from pages And Death will yield to Life.
