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,

I fell from the sky
So don't ask me why
I'm feeling so down
Watching the stars falling down from the sky in the night
Crashing from out of the heavens, they're burning so bright
Descend through the atmosphere, glowing with fiery light
Dragging a tail of white sparkles, and oh what a sight
Oh, where did I go, how could I know
Defies all reason now
I fell from the sky
So don't ask me why
I'm feeling so down
Attacked, shot down and wrecked
There's no turning back
To find my way home
A signal sent out of distress, I was heeding the call
Then they appeared and attacked me, my ship took thе fall
Now I am strapped to the table, thеy're poking my eyes
I only hope I would came out of this, still alive
Oh, where did I go, how could I know
Give me a reason now
I fell from the sky
So don't ask me why
I'm feeling so down
Attacked, shot down and wrecked
There's no turning back
To find my way home
Hey, little alien, little grey
Where's the place your people stay?
Have you found a place beyond
Where eternity moves on?
Let me detach you, help me find
What goes on in your captor's mind
For eternity awaits on the brink of our escape
We're twisting, we're turning
We're running, we're burning
Out on the run through the maze
On through the madness
No time for sadness
And no one can show us the way
Through Hangar 18
The tension now grows
We're getting so close
Enter the ship
Start the engine and open the gates
Of Hangar 18
Onwards through the sky
The stars are bright, they'll shine forever
On and on we fly so far away
Hey, little alien
What have they done to you?
Is this your planet home?
I see what's wrong with you
It's all destroyed and burned
To ashes all reduced
Are there survivors here
Or have they all just disappeared?
I fell from the sky
So don't ask me why
I'm feeling so down
Attacked, shot down and wrecked
There's no turning back
To find my way home
The dark, the fear of the night
And the pain settles down deep within
Coming home to a place still unknown
And the hope as I dream is undying
When the sky falls, and the world you know comes crashing down
When the sky falls, and everything is changing
Changes came across the sky
Welcome to the other side, and everything is changing
When the sky falls, when the sky falls
We're just two aliens, lost without a home
We travel on, we see the light
Another star, another fight
Onwards through the universe
To find a home, to break the curse
Stars on the horizon, stars on the horizon
Come and take us home
We're coming home, we're coming home
Someday we're gonna find a home
Somewhere out in space
Somewhere out in space1
