There's no fear for anything...Anything but you

Τον Μάρτη του 91 βγήκε ο πιο αδικημένος δίσκος των Γερμανών Helloween, οι οποίοι τότε ήταν Michael Kiske -φωνή-, Michael Weikath -κιθάρα-, Roland Grapow -κιθάρα, Markus Grosskopf -μπάσο- και ο Ingo Schwichtenberg -τύμπανα-

Ο κυριότερος -ίσως- λόγος ήταν γιατί ο ιδρυτής της μπάντας Kai Hansen είχε αποχωρήσει για να δημιουργήσει τους Gamma Ray.

Ένας δευτερεύων λόγος ίσως είναι ότι ο δίσκος δεν είχε την δύναμη των προηγούμενων - εξαιρετικά πετυχημένων- Keeper of the seven keys pt1 & pt2

Με αυτόν τον δίσκο οι Helloween ανοίχτηκαν λίγο περισσότερο προς το mainstream αλλά και σε πιο "σοβαρούς" στίχους...

Για μένα προσωπικά αγαπημένα είναι τα Kids of the century, Number one, Heavy metal hamsters και η πολύ όμορφη μπαλάντα Your turn...

Αλλά το μακράν αγαπημένο είναι το Mankind

το track list είναι το εξής:

1. Pink Bubbles Go Ape
2. Kids of the century
3. Back On The Streets
4. Number one
5. Heavy Metal Hamsters
6. Goin' Home
7. Someone's Crying
8. Mankind
9. I'm Doin' Fine, Crazy Man
10. The Chance
11. Your Turn

Στα αξιοσημείωτα, είναι ότι παραγωγός του δίσκου είναι ένας δικός μας, ο Chris Tsangarides που κι αυτόν θα τον πετύχουμε και σε άλλον δίσκο αργότερα...

Σε όσους δεν γνωρίζουν πολλά για τον συγκεκριμένο δίσκο, παραθέτω τα easy listening τραγούδια

Το μόνο που ζητώ είναι να προσέξετε τους στίχους στο Mankind

n'joy



We poison our hearts
We poison our seas
We burn down the paradise

We're stoppin' good waves
We're losin' our trees
The future looks bright ahead
I don't wonder we'll go under in this river of lies

We're lost in this time--we create so fine
The future we already fear
Seems like no way out, seems like there's no doubt
The future looks bright ahead

We're the kids of the century--we're lost in our games
No time for the memories we look in the haze
We're the kids of the century it wasn't our fault
Ev'rything's done mum, we fall
Let's keep on crying
But sometimes I don't wanna fall

Ev'rytime when you look around things will smile at you
Ev'rytime when you turn around you smell the truth
But you run away from the lies you can't say
Don't run away from the lies you can't say



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



Here is all mankind so proud of their achievements
There is a stone that is warmer than you

Look how we stand in the stream of illusions
No one says a word

Here you laugh and there you cry
All that makes you move

There's no fear for anything
Anything but you

Animals dying for our vanity
Our world is a beautiful place to be free

Drinking the blood of the weak, it's so easy
No one hears them cry

Here you cheat and there you lie
All that makes you gain

One day we will face His throne
There's nothin' we can say

Prosperity, luxury, fast food is rising
It's the rainforest that dies

Here you laugh and there you cry
All that makes you move

Here you cheat and there you lie
All that makes you gain



Now there is this day, a lot of things are changing
Can't just kick it away, got to get things right
Sometimes it happens fast and nothin' seems to last
The thing that I once started isn't mine anymore
I guess now it's my turn

You've got a face like a child, got a mind like a woman
Your smile is warm and tender
I hear the people say that I should stay away
From you and all the problems you might bring
They'll never know--you
Nobody ever knows what to do
They'll never see you cry
They'll never know why

Now it's your turn to break free
When you want it all you've got to see
Now it's your turn to break free
When you want the life, you've got to see what it means

See the little boy holding mama's hand
His eyes can see the things we've long forgotten
The world is easy now--and somehow
He's right
Until there is this day when Mickey Mouse must go away

It's your turn to break free. . .

This world is crying to be free
This world is dying can't you see
We need a turn to do it right
We need a mind-revolution
To get away from this selfishness
Stop playing blind--break free
