Helloween - "Skyfall" (video)

I fell from the sky
So don't ask me why I'm feeling so down

Watching the stars falling down from the sky in the night
Crashing from out of the heavens, they're burning so bright
Descend through the atmosphere, glowing with fiery light
Dragging a tail of white sparkles, and oh, what a sight

Oh, where did I go, how could I know
Defies all reason now

I fell from the sky
So don't ask me why I'm feeling so down
Attacked, shot down and wrecked
There's no turning back to find my way home

Hey, little alien, little grey
Where's the place your people stay?
Have you found a place beyond
Where eternity moves on?
Let me detach you
Help me find what goes on in your captors mind
For eternity awaits
On the brink of our escape

We're twisting, we're turning, we're running, we're burning
Out on the run through the maze
On through the madness, no time for sadness
And no one can show us the way
Through Hangar 18, the tension now grows, we're getting so close
Enter the ship, start the engine and open the gates of Hangar 18
Onwards to the sky, the stars are bright, they'll shine forever
On and on we fly so far away

Hey, little alien, what have they done to you?
Are there survivors here or have they all just disappeared?

I fell from the sky
So don't ask me why I'm feeling so down
Attacked, shot down and wrecked
There's no turning back to find my way home

The dark, the fear of the night
And the pain settles down deep within
Coming home to a place still unknown
And the hope as I dream is undying

When the sky falls and the world you know comes crashing down
When the sky falls and everything is changing
Changes came across the sky, welcome to the other side
And everything is changing when the sky falls, when the sky falls

Η επανένωση των Helloween με τον Kai Hansen και τον Michael Kiske θα έχει και η συνέχεια καθώς η "παλιοπαρέα" θα κυκλοφορήσει και στουντιακό δίσκο, τον πρώτο μετά από έξι χρόνια. Ο διάδοχος του album "My God-Given Right" φέρει ως τίτλο το όνομα του συγκροτήματος κι αναμένεται τον πρώτο καλοκαιρινό μήνα.

Το έδαφος προετοιμάζει το single "Skyfall", το οποίο κυκλοφόρησε σήμερα (σε cd και βινύλιο) και περιέχει το ομότιτλο τραγούδι σε δύο εκδοχές: την "πετσοκομμένη" χρονικά (single edit) και την δωδεκάλεπτη "exclusive alternative vocals mix"...

Δελτίο τύπου: «Written by Kai Hansen, "Skyfall" is a storming more than 7 minute ride into the Helloween universe (and beyond!) The epic track describes an alien landing on earth and a dramatic chase while Michael Kiske, Andi Deris and Kai Hansen duel each other in a breathtaking manner and create a vocal broadband adventure. Produced by Martin Häusler, it is the most elaborate video clip in the history of the band.»
