ELOY - Decay Of Logos

(Songtext included!) Another fine video of this great German "Krautrock" band! Taken from German TV Show "RockPop" (ZDF 1978?).
Songtext (Decay Of Logos):
Overbearing secular creature
my worshipped king
king of wisdom and pain!
You are the one, the mighty one
ruling so wise
you're the universal sin!
Guardian of justice
offering help
favorite victim of your self-made gods!
Four-continent-king
empty shroud
who runs to the indigents aid!
Oh my perfect hero!
Ah my mighty friend!
You're the prince of principle
wiping out disobedience with your might,
autocratic might!
You don't stand for backtalk
so you root it all out by your weapon's light,
the Atomar light!
You are born into your violence
and you live against superior truth!
You are born to live the ignorance
and you're proud to kill your spiritual youth!
From the upper sea of the setting sun
you submit all mankind to toe the line!
You commit your frightful arms
against the palaces and treasures of our mind.
That's why your should remember
the duty that's required by your life.
Or is it true that you did surrender
your possibility to survive?
In taper indented triangles
sterilized drops of blood
are wildly raving along and their shadows -
they are crossing my horizon!
Concrete becomes liquid, sweats along
and pours along through my legs - Alright!
Extensive feverish stuff.
Rough surface - murderous red!
Even in the air,
which is still gliding quiet,
quiet and understandable!
I feel the slippery, whispering,
rainy dead end street.
Hanging deep above the vaporing sea!
The final signal for low truth approaches!
Fear did die?
Vanity - insanity, warm, hot and true,
who cut the enemy down? We are betrayed!
That's why you should remember
the duty that's required by your life,
by our life!
Or is it true that you did surrender
our possibility to survive?
You play with all our life!

I would also like to thank whoever put this up here. I ve been listening to eloy since forever and its the first time I see a live video of them. thats realy a thrill

[@kalibunar007]

Great band,great musicians.Croatia fans love ELOY forever.Salute my Deutche friend.

[@shoremahjob5441]

my favorite band. i m iranian

[@kashmir_zeppelin4689]

وای ایرانی💪🏻

[@Tokpela]

Beside SAGA, I concider ELOY one of the best PR-band ever!!! They're GREAT!!!!!!!!!

[@Raouliboy]

Holy Shit...i began to listen to Eloy in grade 3...one of the most important bands for me

[@cursocuritiba]

I'm Brazilian. I love Eloy, in part because their exquisite accent, in part because their compositions are quite intensive. And I'm not a hippie.

[@sergioschettino]

Sou brasileiro tb.. e também não sou hippie... rsrs

[@MrAugustus88]

Frank Bornemann and his friends are genious's, Nearly everything they did is amazing. They are underated. Unfortunately it has been several years since they released anything. Nearly ten years. Meanwhile the rap and disco animals like Madonna and Byonce are persisting with garbage music.

[@fafsa89]

Yes, I agree with this comment. To native English it's a bit "over the top". I know it's typical of seventies prog rock -especially European. ...the timing and spacing of the lyrics just doesn't work well with the music. It's too 'wordy'.

[@statementallity]

yeah, but do you think that this stuff would work in German, bearing in mind what a harsh language it is, like Rammstein would sound shit if they sung in English..Eloy had it all perfect

[@MrAugustus88]

Good news i hear that Eloy will rease an album, after an eleven year absence. The modern disco-rap singers will be upset.

[@sagittarius7569]

🗣 An extra good song by the group *ELOY* and an excellent video clip .

[@takiniteasy2337]

Amazing to see the band in action! Thank you for posting!

[@matteoiosa9134]

Bellissimo brano da FG interista ❤️ Italia

[@soopahsoopah]

No shit, if it weren't for youtube I would never see vid footage of one of my favorite bands. That's what's really awesome about youtube, you can find stuff here that is otherwise impossible to come across.

[@morty13pao]

Thank you youtube for giving us the opportunity to see them even under this conditions... Eloy fan from Athens...

[@MrAugustus88]

Mr borduck, I hope that you are not being sarcastic, this is progg we are talking about, and not rap and disco crap. By 1983-84 progg became nearly exctinct, but not entirely.

[@MrAugustus88]

It is not only Blacks who play, disco and rap nonsense. Madonna and Britney Spears are white idiots. A good black composer i admire is Arthur Lee, the leader of Love.

[@Basseck]

@statementallity: As a German I see Rammstein rather as a caricature or comic cartoon of Germanity which to my surprise seems to work very well in the English speaking world. Nobody in Germany speaks or sings in the way Rammstein do in their songs. Does German really sound so harsh to foreign ears when you're listening to Nena, Hubert Kah or Silbermond? They're much more represantative for the sound of German language in a pop song. Eloy and their cerebral lyrics are typical for German hippies.

[@godbluffvdgg]

these guys are ok , but they don't hold a candle to Giant , ELP,crimso,VDGG , and about a hundred other groups -zappa etc etc so don't say they are the greatest ok i guess they are good for a german prog band but thats like saying they are the tallest midgets in the circus

[@sergioschettino]

EPAPRESS, this video is GOOD pra cacete... Thanks... and post more anda more and more Eloy

[@PrZemek44]

you can't even mention yes and eloy in the same sentence. This is not bad, but just a 'skillful Yes imitation'. And I don't think they tried to hide it, look at their logo. Still, sounds nice...

[@0008DEVA]

@martidi Kann Dich trösten. Die machen heute noch Musik. Hör Dir mal Ocean 2 an. Drehst Du ab. Das ganz laut im Garten in der Nacht auf 4 Boxen...Das geilste was es gibt. Und dabei in den Himmel starren..Da kommen Gefühle auf. Genial

[@peteriiino]

Eloy rules! Wij mant moooooooore more Eloy! Please if anyone has some just put it here! Thnx

[@siltanco]

Für alle ELOY-Fans, die es vielleicht noch nicht wissen: Am 20.11.09 erscheint das neue (!) Album von ELOY mit dem Titel VISIONARY.

[@borgduck]

We Prog Rockers are a unique and noble breed!

[@danieluk021084]

ELOY una de las mejores bandas del progresivo aleman...yeah

[@kaffee8168]

Eine der meist unterschätzen Bands unter der Sonne, das Album Eloy Ocean ist ein Meisterwerk.

[@burakmore]

amazing... the most excited video ever on youtube..

[@borgduck]

Why not spout racist bullshit, I was originally agreeing with you!!

[@goggihanseat9503]

Oh mein gott ist das lange her. Mitte der 70ziger(wir alle waren jung und probiereten so manche dinge aus haha) lagen im Stadtpark hörten uns Mixtapes mit Eloy Jane Birth Control Kraan usw an die eine oder andere Tüte kreisten und wir waren glücklich

[@odenss]

Eloy é muito foda !!!!

[@kissakuningatar]

Wonderfull album and song..I wish more people know and liste...

[@cenobear]

I think it is the best album from that age, and album art too, eloy is amazing, not all but some really kick asses albuns who a listen are from Eloy.

[@hoodadzamin]

thank you so much for posting this amazing video,i love eloy, the best progressive band of all time

[@redyosh9811]

That solo is fucking based

[@borgduck]

I just bought that album here in England a few months ago, thanks for showing this.

[@jaxdamas]

[@TheMercurySmile]

Oh boy, Europe and it'sdarn playback.

[@kashmir_zeppelin4689]

ایرانی💪🏻

[@rocksinistro]

great,

[@SohrabF]

thanks for uploading this masterpiece. but Eloy is not from Krautrock scene that much. they are progressive rock with psychedelic/space rock approach. to mention, you can name some bands of that time like CAN and Amon Duul as kraut rock but not Eloy. great upload anyway ;)

[@Spydrfish]

That is almost frightening... cause not too long ago I got this album and Discipline at the same time, though it was Push and Profit.

[@0008DEVA]

Einfach genial. Anhören und eintauchen. Reinste Ware. Bei der Musik kann ich total abtreten und habe noch nie ne Droge dazu gebraucht ;-)

[@Keyhan37]

Unfotunatly knows the new Generation and the young People almost nothing about the wonderfull bands,(from the past Generation),and Music Groups like,Eloy,Camel,Rush,Deep Purple,Budgi,Gane,Led Zepplane,THE GRATE PINK FLOYD;TAGERINE DREAM;VANGELIS;KLAUS SCHULZE;J:MICHEL JAARE,and many many more Grate Music Bands with amazing Songs and Master works,and it seems to me.that this schoking Phänomen boders nobody,it´s very sad and upset for me and wath i feel,That the neu musik is to 99% only Rubish.

[@354Entertainment]

i feel ya bro! very good list, i like all artists u mentioned and i add a few: Birth Control, Fury in the Slaughterhouse, Caravan, King Crimson, ELP, CSN, CCR, Black Sabbath, Cream, Barclay James Harvest, The Smiths, Wishbone Ash, The Zombies, The Yardbirds, The Who, The Stone Roses, The Sisters of Mercy, The Kinks......... the list goes on...

[@Siyates747]

@borgduck if it were not for prog, we would not have good drummers. check out Endless Echo

[@AnastasiosTokos]

2:55 .και μετα ..μονο με 2 δαχτυλα το ατομο σου βγαζει τα παντα που θελεις να ακουσεις..

[@scgt35]

Enjoy the music, it is there for not to separate but gathering. Thanks for the video, Hail to Eloy!

[@borgduck]

I won't lose sleep over the fact that Rappers will be upset by a new Prog Rock album.

[@Averno667]

Eloy are the best. I first heard them in the mid eighties and they still follow me every day.

[@Tiramisator]

Wow , Eloy , very good.Our Heros of that time.

[@borgduck]

Somehow I won't lose sleep over that fact!

[@sergioschettino]

Epapress, thanks for the songtext...

[@tonissive]

this is fron "ocean" his best album!!

[@joealanouf]

lol true my friend. so true.

[@dariuschrist1]

@MrAugustus88 ...AGREE 100%

[@flashbackfoley]

[@borgduck]

I'll look out for it!

[@Bullet19881988]

german rocks :P

[@Vaughnrush]

Gotta buy that!!

[@hangmanfrombrazil]

Very good!

[@mobyboy]

brilliant !

[@aidzofspadez]

masterpiece...

[@malawri67]

Wonderful band!

[@MrAugustus88]

Mr borgduck i got an idea, die your skin black, wear an afro wig, wave your hands, up and down, and you will earn money. Why take buses or the metro to work, every morning ? Uriah Heep, Eloy, Genesis, Pink floyd, Jethro Tull etc were true geniouses.

[@BohemianConspiracy]

it's pure illusion to think that rappers will be upset by a Eloy records... 99 % of them simply don't know who are Eloy !? so how can they be upset by this !? (only maybe a few rappers in Germany thats all) but more honestly a lot of rappers will be upset by another AC DC album or even Iron Maiden... because they know more or less their music...and are really mainstream worldwide band who can compete in important countries into the Charts with big sellers rappers... here some can be upset...

[@BohemianConspiracy]

@MrAugustus88 yes but he his not only black but Arthur Lee is half black half white.... as was Hendrix half black half latino (indian) ... or Phil Lynnott half white Irish half black brazilian ... most great black people in rock n roll were in fact half Black... as Lenny Kravitz as well...
