Galneryus - Beyond of the Ground

Artist: Galneryus
Song: Beyond of the Ground
From album: The Flag Of Punishment
Genre: Flag Metal
[Buy CD][Website][Song Lyrics]

Any band whose first 3 album titles include the word “Flag” clearly mean business, and Galneryus is no exception. They embody the spirit of heavy metal hyperbole, both in blazing riff and glorious narrative lyric (often made more profoundly enjoyable by virtue of engrish grammar).

The opening melody of this song almost reminds me of a megaman game soundtrack. Flagman’s themesong maybe. And speaking of video game connections, the album art for this and two of their other albums was done by super talented illustrator Yoshitaka Amano, who is probably best known for his highly-recognizable Final Fantasy character designs.

In any case, I think this is a great band to listen to when one is feeling sluggish, or in danger of taking things too seriously.

   Beyond of the Ground:

   Through the sky
   I’ll fly so fast
   Into the chaos of fear
   I wanna know
   where do we go
   What is waiting in my future

   We never forget the pain
   We never give up
   Feeling the body heat

   I’ll see the destiny
   that no one can exit
   But we will go

   On the road,
   I’ll see the light
   The light is a hope of my life
   I wanna know
   the world of no pain
   Everyone’s smiling each other

   Spreading the anger of us
   We’ll break enemy
   We will fight till the end
   Sticking the blood of the friends
   that make us to choice
   to fight for all

   Faraway
   In the night, we’ll fly away
   Calling of the glorious
   Beyond of the ground
   Oh, we gaze faraway
   In the night, we’ll fly away
   Calling of the glorious
   Beyond of the ground

   Through the sky
   I’ll fly so fast
   Into the chaos of fear
   I wanna know
   where do we go
   What is waiting in my future

   We never forget the pain
   We never give up
   Feeling the body heat

   I’ll see the destiny
   that no one can exit
   But we will go

   Faraway
   In the night, we’ll fly away
   Calling of the glorious
   Beyond of the ground
   Oh, we gaze faraway
   In the night, we’ll fly away
   Calling of the glorious
   Beyond of the ground
