Alguien, siempre hay alguien

When a man comes around ... by Johnny Cash

Vaya letra... impresionante... lo cierto es que el mismo día he oido dos veces lamisma letra en un capítulo de series de TV, y en ambas me ha dejado impactado esta canción, su letra.

"There's a man going around taking names and he decides
Who to free and who to blame every body won't be treated
Quite the same there will be a golden ladder reaching down
When the man comes around"

Este párrafo es brutal... refleja en forma de metáfora lo que es la vida y lo que es la relación entre personas en esta sociedad... alguien, siempre hay alguien, que decide, que tiene poder en cualquier forma:

ya sea la inteligencia, el conocimiento, la palabra, los ideales, la ilusión, la convicción, la imaginación,

o la fuerza, el dinero, la represión, la dictadura, etc...

Pero siempre estaremos nosotros como individuos para actuar dentro de ese escenario...


En cuanto a donde oi la canción y su letra:

La primera me dejó frito el ver como se relata una escena de violencia sin ver la violencia explícita, sólo el resutlado, es de la serie de "Sarah Connor Chronicles: Terminator" (los capítulos de la vida de la protagonista de la peli que todos conocemos), que por casualidad vi un rato ayer.... una serie muy mala por lo poco que he visto. Justamente pongo el video de la escena...

La segunda del día, en la introducción de un capítulo de "Mentes Criminales"... menos impactante en el contexto, pero aun así, venía al pelo

Lyrics:

Opening Introduction (Spoken part)

And I heard as it were the noise of thunder
One of the four beasts saying come and see and I saw
And behold a white horse


Song

There's a man going around taking names and he decides
Who to free and who to blame every body won't be treated
Quite the same there will be a golden ladder reaching down
When the man comes around

The hairs on your arm will stand up at the terror in each
Sip and each sup will you partake of that last offered cup
Or disappear into the potter's ground
When the man comes around
CHOURS
Hear the trumpets hear the pipers one hundred million angels singing
Multitudes are marching to a big kettledrum
Voices calling and voices crying
Some are born and some are dying
Its alpha and omegas kingdom come
And the whirlwind is in the thorn trees
The virgins are all trimming their wicks
The whirlwind is in the thorn trees
It's hard for thee to kick against the pricks
Till Armageddon no shalam no shalom

Then the father hen will call his chicken's home
The wise man will bow down before the thorn and at his feet
They will cast the golden crowns
When the man comes around

Whoever is unjust let him be unjust still
Whoever is righteous let him be righteous still
Whoever is filthy let him be filthy still
Listen to the words long written down
When the man comes around
CHOURS
Hear the trumpets hear the pipers one hundred million angels singing
Multitudes are marching to a big kettledrum
Voices calling and voices crying
Some are born and some are dying
Its alpha and omegas kingdom come
And the whirlwind is in the thorn trees
The virgins are all trimming their wicks
The whirlwind is in the thorn trees
It's hard for thee to kick against the pricks
In measured hundred weight and penny pound
When the man comes around
Close (Spoken part)
And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts
And I looked and behold, a pale horse
And it's name it said on him was Death
And Hell followed with him.
