对于全世界甚至国内金属乐迷而言, Helloween这个乐团可说是无人不知,无人不晓, 其受欢迎的程度绝不下于Iron Maiden,早已是金属迷必备的经典团体。Helloween成军于1984年于德国,并且在Noise唱片的合辑”Death Metal Complilation” 中初发表两首曲子,次年4月首张迷你专辑”Helloween”随之发行, 1996年首张专辑”Walls Of Jericho”与单曲”Judas”已使得该团名声渐盛,而后与Overkill共同办欧周巡回演唱及为Dio暖场更为下一张专辑”Keepers Of The Seven Keys Part 1”(1997)奠下坚固的基础, 此时主唱、吉他手兼团长Kai Hansen也慧眼识英雄地找来接替他的新主唱Michael Kiske, 事后证明其高亢的音色正是该团最重要的特色之一。Helloween的乐风俗称为sp…
Way back in time was a nation sublime
For they had what it takes to lead a good life
Foemen believed it’s because of some secrets
They brought the fight and it never ended
Hush, don’t cry
Deep in the night come the raiders
Shiver and pray
Petra will fall to the Great
Oh Nabataea
You came so far
Now gone you are
Oh Nabataea
You morning star
Now so afar
Nabataea
People desire and people admire
Some always try to reign with fire
So are the seals, hence the old Nabateans
Have disappeared under the wire
Hush, don’t cry
Deep in the night come the raiders
Shiver and pray
Petra will fall to the Great
Oh Nabataea
You came so far
Now gone you are
Oh Nabataea
You morning star
Now so afar
Nabataea
Petra, you were a shining star
Unique in your time
Petra, 2000 years on we still
Suffer the same crimes
Petra, today we’re trying hard
To reach your paradigm
We say no
To the ultra-extreme
No
To the killers of dreams
No
No!
Children, children have no fear
Soon we all will disappear
Children, children don’t you cry
Make no sound or we will die
Once there was a land midst of the chaos
Floating like an island in old blood
People lived in peace, there was no hunger
Though they had no slaves, believe it or not
Once there was a nation without soldiers
Never brought a war to other lands
They lived without king or queen or ruler
Once there was the first democracy
Oh Nabataea
You came so far
Now gone you are
Oh Nabataea
You morning star
Now so afar
Oh Nabataea
Oh Nabataea
