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,

[Intro]
Don't turn your head
Back to the wall
Don't close your eyes
And wait for your fall
[Verse 1]
If you believe that you know in this time
You've got anything to win
If you believe that you know
Then I say, "You'll lose all again"
[Pre-Chorus]
In this time, there's nothing to get for you
You cannot really do what you want
You're a child, a prisoner in your own mind
You are a victim of this hopeless time, no!
[Verse 2]
You better believe all you do has a sense
It's not for nothing
You better believe all the troubles you have
Will play you someday
[Pre-Chorus]
Why don't you help yourself and do the best?
Put all the bombs back up their builders' ass
Why don't you stand up to say who you are?
To show the people that paradise is not far
[Chorus]
Oh, can't you see we got the right
To look into the future without no need to hide?
No, we won't accept what you do
We stand up 'cause we're not the people you can abuse
Oh, can't you see we got the right
To say we are here to see the light? (To see the light)
No, we don't wanna lose all again
Stand up, you people, to save the world
As good as you can, yeah
[Solo: Both]
[Verse 3]
We are credulous idiots
And won't understand what they plan
We march with the times
It's what they expect, and we do
[Pre-Chorus]
Why don't you open your eyes
To uncover all of these lies?
I think you won't accept this
Go oppose with your fist
Fight for your rights
[Chorus]
Oh, can't you see we got the right
To say we are here to see the light? (To see the light)
No, we don't wanna lose all again
Stand up, you people, to save the world
As good as you can, yeah
No, we don't wanna lose all again
Stand up, you people, to save the world
As good as you can
