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...
Masquerade masquerade
grab your mask and don't be late
Get out get out well disguised
heat and fever in the air tonight
Meet the others at the store
knock on other people's door
Trick or treat they have to choice
little ghosts are makin' lots a noise
But watch out watch out
beware listen listen take care
In the streets on Halloween
there's something going on
No way to escape the power unknown
In the streets on Halloween the spirits will arise
Make your choice it's hell or paradise
Aah it's Halloween
aah it's Halloween
oh tonight tonight tonight
I am the one doom's in my hand
Now make your choice
redeemed or enslaved
I'll show you passion and glory
he is the snake
I'll give you power and abundance
he's the corrupter of man
Save me from the evil one
give me strength to carry on
I will fight for all mankind's
deliverance and peace of mind
Aah it's Halloween
aah it's Halloween oh tonight
Make the people hold each other's hands
and fill their hearts with truth
You made up your mind so do
as divined oh oh
Put on your armour
ragged after fights
Hold up your sword
you're leaving the light
And make yourself ready
for the lords of the dark
They'll watch your way
so be cautious quiet and hark
You hear them whispering
in the crowns of the trees
You're whirling 'round
but your eyes don't agree
Will o the wisps
misguiding your path
You can't throw a curse
without takin' their wrath
Watch out for the seas
of hatred and sin
Or all us people
forget what we've been
Our only hope's your victory
kill that Satan who won't let us be
Our only hope's your victory
kill that Satan who won't let us be kill
You're the keeper of the seven keys
that lock up the seven seas
And the seer of visions
said before he went blind
Hide them from demons
and rescue mankind
Or the world we're all in
will soon be sold
To the throne of the evil
payed with Lucifer's gold
To the throne of the evil
payed with Lucifer's gold
You can feel cold sweat
runnin' down your neck
And the dwarfs of falseness
throw mud at your back
Guided by spells
from the old seer's hands
You're suffering pain
only steel can stand
Stay well on your way
and follow the sign
Fulfill your own promise
and do what's divined
The seven seas are far away
placed in the valley of dust heat and sway
The seven seas are far away
placed in the valley of dust heat and sway
You're the keeper of the seven keys
that lock up the seven seas
And the seer of visions
said before he went blind
Hide them from demons
and rescue mankind
Or the world we're all in
will soon be sold
To the throne of the evil
payed with Lucifer's gold
To the throne of the evil
payed with Lucifer's gold
You're the keeper of the seven keys
that lock up the seven seas
And the seer of visions
said before he went blind
Hide them from demons
and rescue mankind
Or the world we're all in
will soon be sold
To the throne of the evil
payed with Lucifer's gold
To the throne of the evil
payed with Lucifer's gold
Wouldn't it be nice
to plunder with your eyes
Whatever there's for you
to see is yours to be
Let me be there
just tell me you don't care
Just say you pay me after life
however high the price
I know your secrets I know it all
I know your secrets I see them
hidden without light
I am your sickness
biting you right behind your lies
Don't try to kill me
I cannot die I guess you know
You and I will be heaven above and hell below
brother release me
Father conceive me brother believe me perceive me
Time will be a turnin'
wheel we show or retard
Time will be a joy time we will enjoy
Say you want to live forever mindless
one day say you will obey
And I I will show I will show
I will show your Reich of gold
And I will show I will show
I will show you friend and foe
Wouldn't it be nice
to reign and to decide
Whatever there's attracting you
will give its due to you
Let me be there
just say you want to share
A power no one will withstand
just be my human hand
I know your secrets I know it all
I will show I will show
I will show your Reich of gold
And I will show I will show
I will show you friend and foe
Aah aah aah aah aah aah
aah aah aah aah aah
aah aah aah aah aah
Aah aah aah aah aah aah
aah aah aah aah aah
aah aah aah aah aah
Don't believe us or deceive us
no illusions executions
Alienation elimination chaos no exoneration
No believers all deceivers
no illusions executions
Alienation elimination chaos no exoneration
No believers all deceivers
no illusions executions
We are king for a thousand years
we are king of a million tears
We're the ones who bring desire
binding their greed and fears
We are king of fallen men
we are keepers of the damned
Turning hope into obsession we are the king
We are the king for a thousand years
