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 Departed (Sun Is Going Down)

Interpret:
Helloween
Album:
The Dark Ride
There I stood with the sun in my eyes 
Dust on my face 
My mouth parched and dry 
Memories racing 
Flashing scenes through my mind 
I know what's ahead 
Today would be a good day to die 


Once I thought I had a golden heart 
Once I thought my dreams would never shatter 
Now I stand here 
Jaded and cold 
Epitaph being carved on my tombstone 


I would die for you - would you die with me? 
No, you can't deny 


Would you catch the bullet that was meant for me? 
Blaze across the sky 


Refrén: 
Sun is going down 
And there's no tomorrow 
Sun is going down 
Going down on me 
Sun is going down 
No more time to borrow 
Dance with the devil 


Sun is going down 
For the lonely hearted 
Sun is going down 
In a blink of an eye 
Sun is going down 
On the departed 
Laugh at the devil 


I would die for you - would you die with me? 


Caught in a fight I was drawn again 
I never thought I'd be betrayed 
By my best friend 
He lost his life as he went for mine 
If this is the end I want to die with you 


Would you catch the bullet that was meant for me? 
Blaze across the sky 


Refrén
