1978 - 1984 Počátky skupiny sahají až do roku 1978, kdy dva kytaristi Kai Hansen a Piet Sielck hráli ve skupině Gentry, ale po mnohých změnách v sestavě ji přejmenovali nejprve na Second Hell a poté na Ironfist. Po těchto změnách doplnili kapelu...

Píseň: The Dark Ride

Interpret:
Helloween
Album:
The Dark Ride
All board step right this way 
The dark ride is leaving soon 
Just sign your name on the dotted line 
All I want is just your soul 
Tighten your belt and lets go! 


Standing in line to get into the fairground 
Heading to the wicked side 
One way ticket, there is no returning 
Leave your soul at the gates 


Out of doubt, no hope 
Satan feeds our madness 
Insanity confirms where we stand 


Spit the red vile breath and 
Wrath is our gift that 
Leads direct to Armageddon 


Refrén: 
Take a place - on the dark ride 
Slowly creeping up - quickly coming down 
Take a spin on the dark ride 
May too far from the other side 


Step inside and take this final journey 
Your fantasies will come true 
Inclination without liberation 
Life's carousel is catching you 


Even through the darkest phase 
Be it thick or thin 
I'm your pain when you can't feel 


Druven to our final fate 
Jump out of this game 
Can we ever stop this ride to hell 


Refrén 


Is there any wonder? 
Why we came about 
Was it for love? 
Or to let sin abound 


Isn't it a wonder, awake from blood thick dreams 
Remove all the stones from our hearts, we must all believe 


Ohhh, will we find a way to the other side, heading for a light 
who is holding the key, why can't we see - the dark ride 


I force the engine of your deadly sins 
Even through the darkest phase, be it thick or thin 
I'm your pain when you can't feel 
I know too well you'll follow me, you'll follow me down
