Reseña
El álbum Music from The Elder, de 1981, es el proyecto más ambicioso, extraño y fallido de la carrera de Kiss. Se trata de un álbum conceptual, concebido como la banda sonora de una película que nunca se rodó, que narra la historia de un joven héroe elegido para luchar contra el mal. Por esta razón, el disco abandona por completo el rock de fiesta para adentrarse en el rock progresivo y sinfónico.
En primer lugar, la banda volvió a colaborar con el productor Bob Ezrin, con la intención de crear una obra maestra conceptual como "The Wall" de Pink Floyd. De hecho, el álbum incluye arreglos orquestales, coros y pasajes instrumentales complejos, en un intento de crear una obra de arte seria.
Sin embargo, el resultado fue un fracaso absoluto. Por consiguiente, el disco fue un desastre comercial y fue denostado tanto por la crítica como por los fans, que no entendieron este giro pretencioso y alejado de su sonido. Además, el guitarrista Ace Frehley, totalmente en contra del proyecto, abandonaría la banda poco después.
A pesar de todo, con el paso de los años, "The Elder" ha sido reivindicado por algunos como un experimento valiente y fascinante. No obstante, en definitiva, es el testimonio de una banda que había perdido completamente el rumbo, una obra que casi acaba con su carrera.

- A World Without HeroesVer letra
[X]letra de A World Without Heroes
A world without heroes
Is like a world without sun
You can't look up to anyone
Without heroes
And a world without heroes
Is like a never ending race
Is like a time without a place
A pointless thing devoid of grace
Where you don't know what you're after
Or if something's after you
And you don't know why you don't know
In a world without heroes
In a world without dreams
Things are no more than they seem
And a world without heroes
Is like a bird without wings
Or a bell that never rings
Just a sad and useless thing
Where you don't know what you're after
Or if something's after you
And you don't know why you don't know
In a world without heroes
There's nothing to be
It's no place for me - Dark LightVer letra
[X]letra de Dark Light
Look out, Cause there's something wrong
And you don't know what it is
Watch out, Or it's Sodom and Gommorah
The malevolent order
Right now, Before it's much too late
Before it's much too late
A dark light---A darkness never ending
A dark light---The devil gets his due
A dark night---Is everywhere descending
A dark light---Is coming for you
Now look up, Well the skies are black
And they're getting darker all the time
Watch up, For the things that you believe in
You're gonna be attacked,
and you won't know what it is
Wise up, You better watch your step
You better watch your step
A dark light---A darkness never ending
A dark light---Of perversion and hate
A dark night---Is everywhere descending
A dark light---There's no time to wait
Look out, For the death of love
There will be no more love
Watch out, It's yourself that you are fooling
Who do you think you're fooling
Shout it out, It's a terrible thing
Such a terrible thing
A dark light---A darkness never ending
A dark light---The sun is turning cool
A dark night---Is everywhere descending
A dark light---Is shining at you
Dark light, Dark light
Is shining at you, Dark light - Under The RoseVer letra
[X]letra de Under The Rose
Though you may be pure of heart
And free of sin
And though you have been chosen
To begin
And yet you must be worthy of
The prophecy
But seek and you shall find
Your destiny
Loneliness will haunt you
Will you sacrifice?
Do you take the oath
Will you live your life
Under the rose
The more you hurt the less you feel
The pain
And the more you change, the more you stay
The same
But now before you lies the quest
At hand
And from this boy you may become
A man
Do you understand
Will you sacrifice?
Do you take the oath
Will you live your life
Under the rose - Only YouVer letra
[X]letra de Only You
Only you have the answers
But the questions you have to find
Only you know the secrets
But the truth lies deep in your mind
Only you are the answer
You turn the night into day - yeah
Only you are the manchild
You are the light and you are the way
Tell me the secrets
I wanna know
Tell me the secrets
I wanna know
Only you
Only you are the manchild
You are the light and you are the way
I can't believe this is is true
Why do I listen to you
If I am all that you say
Why am I still so afraid
Only you.... ! Only you.... !
Only you.... !
In every age
In every time
A hero is born
As if by a grand design - OdysseyVer letra
[X]letra de Odyssey
From a far off galaxy, I hear you calling me
we are on an odyssey
Through the realms of time and space
In that enchanted place
You and I come face to face
Once upon not yet, long ago someday
Countless times we've met, met along the way
Through the luminescent night
On beams of neon light
You and I in wing-ged flight
As we cross the starry sea, powered by what we see
Now and then, the victory
Once upon not yet, long ago someday
Countless times we've met, met along the way
There's a child in a sundress
Looking at a rainy sky
There's a place in the desert
Where an ocean once danced by
There's a song in the silence
Weaving in and out of time
We are notes in the music
Searching for remembered rhyme
On a mountain high somewhere
Where only heroes dare
Stand the stallion and the mare
We have been and we shall be each other's destiny
One another's odyssey
Once upon not yet, long ago someday
Countless times we've met, met along the way
We've met along the way....
We've met along the way - Just A BoyVer letra
[X]letra de Just A Boy
Who steers the ship through the stormy sea
If hope is lost then so are we
While some eyes search for one to guide us
Some are staring at me
But I'm no hero
Though I wish I could be
For I am just a boy
Too young to be sailing
I am just a boy
And my future is unveiling
And I'm so frightened of failing - Fanfare
- The OathVer letra
[X]letra de The Oath
Like a blade of a sword I am forged in flame
Fiery hot
Tempered steel fire-bright to the night I take
I fear not
Now compelled by something I cannot see
I go forth surrendering to history
Your glory, I swear I ride for thee
Your power, I trust it rides with me
Your servant, I am and ever shall I be
Through a dream
I have a come to an ancient door
Lost in the mist
I have been there a hundred times or more
Pounding my fists
Now inside, the fire of the ancient burns
A boy goes in and suddenly a man returns
I gave my word and gained a key
I gave my heart and set it free
There's no turning back from this odyssey
Because I feel so alive suddenly
And I wonder, is this really me? - Mr. BlackwellVer letra
[X]letra de Mr. Blackwell
I never said I was more than I am
Do what I want and I don't give a damn
You're all so weak you know it makes me ill
Don't like you now and probably never will
You cheat and lie, and wonder why
You can't sleep at night
You're not well, mr. Blackwell
And we can tell
You're not well, mr. Blackwell
Why don't you go to hell?
I am a sinner who just loves to sin
I am a fighter who just loves to win
I am the truth about this crummy hole
There's nothing here that can't be bought or sold
You're cold and mean, and in between
You're rotten to the core
You're not well, mr. Blackwell
And we can tell
You're not well, mr. Blackwell
Why don't you go to hell?
You're a victim, a real disgrace
You should be banished from the human race
We'll drink to sorrow then we'll drink to waste
We'll drink a toast to the inhuman race
Here's to the world and the times we're in
Here's to the kid a real man among men
You're cold and mean, and in between
You're rotten to the core
You're not well, mr. Blackwell
And we can tell
You're not well, mr. Blackwell
Why don't you go to hell? - Escape From The Island
- IVer letra
[X]letra de I
I was so frightened
I almost ran away
I didn't know that I could do
Anything I needed to
And then a bolt of lightning
Hit me on my head
Then I began to see
I just needed to believe in me
Now I, I believe in me
And I, I believe in something more
Than you can understand
Yes, I believe in me
They said I didn't stand a chance
I wouldn't win no way
But I've got news for you
There's nothing I can't do
Ain't no pretending
Ain't no make believe
But I've got to be the one
I gotta do what must be done
I believe in me
Yes, I believe in me, yeah
I don't need no money
I don't need no fame, no
I just need to believe in me
And I know most definitely
Don't need to get wasted
It only holds me down
I just need a will of my own
And the balls to stand alone
I believe in me
Yes, I believe in me - yeah
Well do you really
Yes, I believe in me
Do you do you
Yes, I believe in me
I wanna rock 'n roll
Yes, I believe in me!
Morpheus, you have been summoned here to offer your judgement ofthe boy
Do you still deem him worthy of the Fellowship?
I certainly do, my lord
As a matter of fact, I, I think you'regonna like this one
He's got the light in his eyes and the look of a
Champion, a real champion
