Their current lineup consists of Hoffmann, vocalist Mark Tornillo, guitarists Uwe Lulis and Philip Shouse, drummer Christopher Williams and bassist Martin Motnik. Before arriving at their current lineup, Accept has undergone numerous lineup changes, being Hoffmann the last remaining original member since its inception, and he is the only band member to appear on each album.
Accept played an important role in the development of speed and thrash metal, and they were part of the German heavy metal scene, which emerged in the early to mid-1980s. They have also been cited as an influence or inspiration by a number of acts, including Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer, Pantera, Testament, Anthrax, Guns N' Roses, Mötley Crüe, Alice in Chains, Soundgarden, Overkill, Exodus, and Annihilator, as well as fellow Germans such as Helloween, Blind Guardian, Doro, Sodom, Rage, and Grave Digger. Accept achieved its first commercial success with their fifth studio album Balls to the Wall (1983), which is the band's only album to be certified gold in the United States and Canada, and spawned their well-known hit "Balls to the Wall".
Accept have broken up and reformed multiple times. They first split up in 1989, several months after the release of Eat the Heat (which was their only album with Dirkschneider's initial replacement David Reece), but reformed in 1992 and released three more albums before disbanding again in 1997. After briefly reuniting in 2005, Accept announced their third reunion in 2009, with former T.T. Quick frontman Mark Tornillo replacing Dirkschneider (who declined to participate), and the band has recorded five albums with him: Blood of the Nations (2010), Stalingrad (2012), Blind Rage (2014), The Rise of Chaos (2017) and Too Mean to Die (2021); each of those albums renewed Accept's popularity in Germany and entered the top ten charts there.

Princess of the Dawn
Accept Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A white frost on the moors
It's an epoch of eternity
Waters touch the holy shore
It's a land of mystery
The world of unseen eyes
You can feel the shadow of a princess
The guardians of God play the pawns
Beg for mercy, hail the queen
Princess of the Dawn
In the war of the dragons
Young blood ran it's course
They fell to his blade
The knight Iron Horse
A forgotten priest
Disappearing in the haze
A chamber of vestal virgins
Twilight is her slave
The Wizard of Oz moved the pawns
Life for Satan, dust to dust
Princess of the Dawn
On the day of the testament
The seventh moon was raging fire
Heaven cried for the sacrifice
The midnight sun was rising higher
The Beauty and the Beast
Lies in her royal crypt
Her kiss is bitter sweet
Death upon her lips
The Holy Grail held the pawns
Kings and bishops bow to grace
Princess of the Dawn
The guardians of God play the pawns
Beg for mercy, hail the queen
Princess of the Dawn
A new day dawns for heaven and earth
A first sunbeam is killing the night
Once upon a time for ever more
The gloom with the spirit of that Lady in White
Princess, Princess, Princess of the Dawn
Princess, Princess, Princess of the Dawn
Princess, Princess, Princess of the Dawn
Princess, Princess, Princess of the Dawn
The lyrics of "Princess of the Dawn" by Accept describe a mystical land where there is rain on the mountain and a white frost on the moors. It is a world of mystery where unseen eyes watch over the land. The singer describes feeling the presence of a princess, who is waiting for him inside. The guardians of God play the pawns and hail the queen, while the princess of the dawn rules over them all. The song speaks of a war between dragons, and how the knight Iron Horse slayed the young blood. A forgotten priest disappears in the haze, while a chamber of vestal virgins slave away during twilight.
The lyrics reference the Wizard of Oz, who moved the pawns, and how life is for Satan, with dust to dust. On the day of the testament, the seventh moon rages fire, and heaven cries for the sacrifice, while the Beauty and the Beast lies in her royal crypt. Her kiss is bitter but sweet and death hangs upon her lips. The Holy Grail held the pawns as kings and bishops bow to grace, with the princess of the dawn reigning over them all. The song ends on a positive note, with a new day dawning for heaven and earth, and the first sunbeam killing the night. The gloom of the world lifts with the spirit of the Lady in White.
