Helloween Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I know the time is near
Incarnate power roaring from the sky
Unrelenting forces blasting through the air
Roaring thunder lift your hands and pray
Running through the empty streets they're looking for the fight
Swords gleam in the light of moon the gods prepare to strike
[Chorus]
Metal invaders, ready to strike
A warning from hell, be careful tonight
Dark night overwhelming bright light
See the demons fly
Can't trust your senses fear you'll have to die
Super mighty shadows casting amplitudes to ears
Sounds you've never heard that take you high
Time has come for them to rise, invasion is their doom
Riding high on iron horses in the light of moon
[Chorus]
Metal invaders, the gods on their ride
Sworn to bring metal, mayhem tonight
The lyrics of Helloween's song "Metal Invaders" contain vivid imagery of an impending battle between supernatural forces. The opening lines describe a full moon and a sense of foreboding, hinting at an upcoming confrontation. The following lines suggest that these supernatural beings possess immense power - "incarnate power roaring from the sky" and "unrelenting forces blasting through the air". The reference to "roaring thunder" and a call to "lift your hands and pray" adds a religious aspect to the scene, implying that there is a higher power involved in this conflict.
The second stanza describes a group of warriors preparing for battle as they run through empty streets. The mention of swords and the phrase "the gods prepare to strike" further cement the idea of supernatural forces at play. The chorus warns of the "metal invaders" who are poised to strike and the possibility of encountering demons or other beings. The third stanza describes the dark night being illuminated by bright light, further emphasizing the supernatural nature of the scene. The reference to "super mighty shadows" and "sounds you've never heard" further reinforces the idea that this is not an ordinary battle. The final line of the stanza suggests that these sounds have the power to elevate the listener to a higher level.
The final chorus talks about the "gods" riding in on "iron horses" and being "sworn to bring metal, mayhem tonight". These lines suggest that the "metal invaders" are not necessarily evil, but rather agents of chaos who are here to shake up the world as we know it.
