Masked Jackal (Coroner)

Hay bandas que a uno le enganchan desde el primer momento, como si existiese una especie de Cupido dentro del Metal, que una vez que te apunta con su flecha metálica te deja prendado de un grupo. Y eso es lo que me pasó a mi desde un primer momento con los geniales Coroner. Un grupo que además siempre nos obsequió con una evolución a lo largo de todos sus discos, desde el Thrash más primitivo del primero hasta composiciones que incluirían sonidos propios del jazz y del Olimpo de los dioses. Aquí os dejo uno de mis temas favoritos de la banda, incluido en este tremendo puñetazo sonoro que es Punishment for decandence.

I saw his face on every channel

His slogans in all the papers

I heard people repeat his words

I saw them shouting, his flag in their hands

I saw him making promises

I heard him talk about life

But I saw his fingers too

They were crossed behind his back

Darling of the TV screen

Manipulator of the purse strings

Master of the spoken word

Jackal with connections

Worshiped by the masses

Leader with ulterior motives

All talk and no do

Is neither a good offense or defense

Get with it boys and girls

Your house needs to be put in order too

Darling of the TV screen

Manipulator of the purse strings

Master of the spoken word

Jackal with connections

Worshiped by the masses

Leader with ulterior motives

His slate clean as snow

Covers over his dark past

To be in league with workers

Pictures he loved to see

But I read in his eyes, promotion reality

He played his part to the end

Shot leaving shambles

Darling of the TV screen

Manipulator of the purse strings

Master of the spoken word

Jackal with connections

Worshiped by the masses

Leader with ulterior motives

Worshiped by the masses

Leader with ulterior motives
