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,

Born into a neighborhood that ain't exactly rich
Never knew his father and his mother was a bitch
Oh no
Didn't have a place to go
Grown up in the streets
He learned to take just what he needs
Violence and crime the only answer he believes
Oh no
Your emotions you don't show
How can you ever give up
When you never were scared?
How can you ever forgive
Without learning to blame?
See the night
That's where you're living
Feel the dark
That seems to follow you
See the stars
I see you crying
See the stars
You wished that one of them just shines for you
After you're gone
Unemployed and full of hate
You're dealing with cocaine
One day you will end up with a needle in your brain
Oh no
As you slowly go insane
How can you ever be good
When you don't see a reason?
How can you trust an old friend
When you don't even care for one?
See the night
That's where you're living
Feel the dark
That seems to follow you
See the stars
I see you crying
See the stars
You wished that one of them just shines for you
After you're gone
All you know is what you see
You see society is treating you bad
No more visions, no more hope
Your future is a cold, cold cell
I send you to hell
Falling so deep into darkness
Crawling so deep in the dark
Give me a chance to regret what I've done
Only if I can explain
See the night
That's where you're living
Feel the dark
That seems to follow you
See the stars
I see you crying
See the stars
You wished that one of them just shines for you
After you're gone
