Německý metalový soubor založený v Solingenu v r. 1971, přirovnáván m.j. k Judas Priest. Rozpoznávacím znakem je hlas Udo Dirkschneidera, zpívajícího výhradně anglicky. První stabilnější sestava je až z r. 1974. Prvním úspěchem bylo vystoupení...

Píseň: The Galley

Interpret:
Accept
Album:
Stalingrad
Pulling the weight up against the wind
 Is the plight of the galley slave
 Chained to this cold bench, six to the oar
 Sentenced to an early grave


With iron in our souls and fire in our wrists
 Slicing the waves and the sea
 Rotting below, they'll not let us go
 Only mutiny or death set us free


Arms grow numb and the blood doth drip
 To the beat of the drum, from the crack of the whip


We're damned, to the Galley
 We're chained, to the Galley of pain
 We're damned, to the Galley
 We're slaves, chained to the Galley of pain


[Narration:]
 "The salt made the oar handles like shark skin
 And our lips we're cut to the gums
 And you whipped us because: we could not row"
 “Will you never let us go?"


Splintered and split, the hands of the doomed
 Endlessly toil by the hour
 Bodies broken, shackled with hatred
 As the soul grows sour


Off in the distance, the cry of the gulls
 And the smell of approaching land
 With our last ounce of strength, we pull to the shore
 And dream to escape if we can


But Sirens attack, with their songs of love
 Mermaids surround us as off we shove
 Our arms still numb and the blood still drips
 To the beat of the drum, from the crack of the whip


Damned, to the Galley
 We're chained, to the Galley of pain
 Damned, to the Galley
 We're slaves, chained to the Galley of pain
 We're rotting in the Galley hole


Damned, to the Galley
 We're chained, to the Galley of pain
 We're damned, to the Galley
 We're slaves, chained to the Galley of pain


Only death can set us free
