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...
Each time when one more year was over
You refused to hear heaven's bells sound
And the happiness in your heart's been set lower
You were searching for friends but no one seemed to be 'round
You merely should think of the good times
'Cos there are so many ways you can go
Take a look at yourself, you're still very young
And big aims always take very long
Now it's time for happiness, stay hard and trust your fate
Don't forget you're something else you'll never be too late
Trust your father's mighty spell you'll never be alone
Fate will always turn out well and you'll be number one
Shout at the world don't care what they say
'Cos your life is now, here and today
Luck is there, ev'rywhere
Go on, reap its good, that's the way
You wanna have truth, relief from your pain
But life takes its toll again and again
Don't fear the night your future is paid
And the tracks to your aims are laid
Now it's time ...
