It's been a few minutes since 'Road of Resistance'. The band has left the stage and we're left in darkness and silence. I'm not familiar with 'live' concert protocol, so I'm running some possibilities in my head. Was it supposed to be a 12 song set, and now they're setting up for an encore? Or could there have been a technical issue, but will be resolved quickly enough so there's no point announcing it? Or could the band need a little break to revive before finishing strong? Or did someone get hurt and they're assessing the damage?
Anyway, the band re-enters to perform 'Divine Attack', so I guess problem solved. The pace of this song feels like we're in a cooldown phase, given the choreo has slowed down. Although there's a definite metal foundation, the song is less frenetic, opening up some space to bring the focus back to SU's belting vocals.
According to these translated lyrics, the song inspires us to fight on against whatever holds us back or down, even though our backs are against the wall, as we push together towards the open road. That's great! But the English lyrics I hear in the chorus are
The time has come, stand up...
Time to go your way...
Yes, m'am, I take the hint. It was a really lovely evening, and you've been a very entertaining host. Thanks for having me over at your party! It was absolutely something to write home about!
