"How Many Tears" Helloween, album "The Walls of Jericho" 1985

A lot of things occur each day
We've got to live with on our way
There's so much misery on the screen
With commercials in between

And the Russians won't be so late
Uncle Sam don't wanna wait
No matter if you're black or white
You never ever had a right

And look up to the eternal skies
See warfare even there
What once has been a paradise
Now destruction and despair

In other worlds the children die
Lacking food ill from a fly
Oppressed by troops to tame their land
It's all the same again

If any man is free on earth
Then tormentors steal his birth
They slam gun butts in his face
And leave his woman choked in mace

So stand up for our human rights
Push back this pest of hate
Raise you voice pass on the light
Unite! it's not too late

How many tears flow away
To become a sea of fears
How many hearts are torn apart
Till another torment starts

But before the world
Turns into a sun
All cruelty and violence
On earth will be dead and gone

So stand up for our human rights
Push back this pest of hate
Raise you voice pass on the light
Unite! it's not too late

Especially dedicated to our Greek fellow citizens who are going to suffer by the new measures taken under the directions of the International Monetary Fund:
How many tears flow away
To become a sea of fears
How many hearts are torn apart
Till another torment starts

And also dedicated to the memory of the three young people who died yesterday because of the stupidity of some extreme violent minorities, or agents provocateur:
All cruelty and violence
On earth must be dead and GONE!!!!

Album: Keeper of the 7th key part 2 by Helloween– 1988

Eagle fly free

People are in big confusion
They don’t like their constitutions
Everyday they draw conclusions
And they’re still prepared for war

Some can say what’s ineffective
Some make up themselves attractive
Build up things they call protective
Well your life seems quite bizarre

In the sky a mighty eagle
Doesn’t care ‘bout what’s illegal
On its wings the rainbow’s light
It’s flying to eternity

Eagle fly free
Let people see
Just make it your own way
Leave time behind
Follow the sign
Together we’ll fly someday

Hey, we think so supersonic
And we make our bombs atomic
Or the better neutronic
But the poor don’t see a dime

Nowadays the air’s polluted
Ancient people persecuted
That’s what mankind contributed
To create a better time

In the sky a mighty eagle
Doesn’t care ‘bout what’s illegal
On its wings the rainbow’s light
It’s flying to eternity

Eagle fly free
Let people see
Just make it your own way
Leave time behind
Follow the sign
Together we’ll fly someday

A song that notifies human-made problems and disasters (war, nuclear weapons and environmental pollution). The solution is the return to nature (pictured as a free flying eagle) where, according to the singer, there were no repressive constitutions, no passions that led to wars, no pollution, no stress and anxiety...

Thank's to one of our visitors, we post another song from this album "Dr Stein" which has to do with cloning and genetic engineering, but presenting in a humoristic way like Frankenstein parody by Mel Brukes.

Dr Stein

Once they killed his monster when it went into a trap
now he's making better ones on a higher step

On a warm summer day the doctor went away
to a place where he could make it real
his assistant's hips were nice
so he cloned her once or twice
now his hips are aching what a deal

[Chorus:]
Dr. Stein grows funny creatures
lets them run into the night
they become
[1] great rock musicians
[2] great politicians
[3] a great possession
[4] a great oppression

Sometimes when he's feeling bored
he's calling it a day
he's got his computers and they do it their own way

They mix some DNA, some skina and a certain spray
you can watch it on a laser screen
and the fellow's blue and grey
or sometimes pink and green
just check it out on Halloween

[Chorus:]
Dr. Stein grows funny creatures. . .

One night he cloned himself
put his brother on a shelf
but when he fell asleep that night
it crept up from behind and thought "well never mind"
took a syringe and blew out his life
