Helloween, banda alemana de heavy metal, hizo su debut en 1984 en Hamburgo, Alemania. La formación original incluía a Kai Hansen (guitarrista y vocalista), Michael Weikath (guitarrista), Markus Grosskopf (bajista) e Ingo Schwichtenberg (baterista). La combinación de riffs rápidos, estribillos pegajosos y letras épicas definió desde el principio el sonido que se conocería como power metal.
En 1985, Helloween lanzó su primer EP homónimo, rápidamente seguido por su álbum debut completo Walls of Jericho, un hito que posicionó a la banda en el radar del mundo del metal. Su sonido agresivo pero melódico cautivó a una audiencia cada vez mayor y sentó las bases para su futuro éxito.
Pero fue realmente con el lanzamiento de Keeper of the Seven Keys Part I (1987) y Keeper of the Seven Keys Part II (1988) cuando Helloween alcanzó a un público masivo y consolidó su estatus en el panteón del metal. Con la entrada de Michael Kiske como vocalista, estos álbumes mostraron una evolución hacia un sonido más melódico y maduro. Temas emblemáticos como "Future World", "I Want Out" y "Eagle Fly Free" se convirtieron en himnos para los fans del power metal.
Los años siguientes no fueron fáciles para Helloween. La banda enfrentó disputas internas y desafíos legales que culminaron en la salida de Kai Hansen, quien pronto formaría otra banda icónica, Gamma Ray. A pesar de estos conflictos,

[Verse 1]
He said, "Get out of here; nobody wants you here"
You smashed his head and the man died
And there's a murmur loud
From the appearing crowd
Searching for motives and reasons why
[Pre-Chorus]
Now take a look at yourself and you'll see
What you are in the eyes of the world
You didn't want it, but now he is dead
And you're on the run from the law
[Chorus]
You're a murderer in every town
Murderer to the whole world
Murderer, you're on the run
Murderer, you'll have to kill... again
[Verse 2]
And like an animal which escaped from the cage
They're hunting you over their holy land
Traps waiting everywhere; you fall in deep despair
Darkness and night, your only friends
[Pre-Chorus]
One day, the chase will be over for you
And you'll find your own peace in the end
Someday, you will find a sanctuary
Death! ...But so long, my friend...
[Chorus]
You're a murderer in every town
Murderer to the whole world
Murderer, you're on the run
Murderer, you'll have to kill... again
[Solo]
[Verse 3]
Look for a safe place where no one will find you
And try to escape from the law
Wherever you are, there's a killer behind you
Wanting to get you for sure
[Pre-Chorus]
To lose the fear that one day he will get you
Be faster and kill him and run
Now you don't have to fear him no more
But in his place, another headhunter will come
...Run away!

Murderer, you're on the run
Murderer, but you'll have to kill... agai
