Its first lineup consisted of singer and guitarist Kai Hansen, bassist Markus Grosskopf, guitarist Michael Weikath and drummer Ingo Schwichtenberg. By the time Hansen quit Helloween in 1989 to form Gamma Ray, the band had evolved into a five-piece, with Michael Kiske taking over as lead vocalist. Schwichtenberg and Kiske both parted ways with Helloween in 1993; Schwichtenberg died two years later as the result of suicide. Between then and 2016, there had been numerous line-up changes, leaving Grosskopf and Weikath as the only remaining original members. As a septet, their current lineup includes four-fifths of the Keeper of the Seven Keys: Parts I and II-era (1987–1988) lineup, featuring three additional members, vocalist Andi Deris (who had replaced Kiske in 1994), guitarist Sascha Gerstner and drummer Daniel Löble.

Since its inception, Helloween has released 16 studio albums, three live albums, three EPs and 30 singles, was honored with 14 gold and six platinum awards and has sold more than ten million records worldwide. Helloween has been referred to as the "fathers of power metal", as well as one of the so-called "big four" of the genre's early German scene, along with Grave Digger, Rage and Running Wild, and as one of power metal "big four" overall, along with Blind Guardian, Sabaton and DragonForce.

We Burn
Helloween Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Climb down my pile
And again to the beat of my heart
You're so exiting
Take all the soul
I will give you as
much as you want

Higher, much higher

Umbouned fire
Closer, come closer
Close to the core

We burn, we burn

I contaminate you
I like to pollute you with my
G- g- generations
Look into my eyes
And we melt into
on yearning mind
We climb the stages

Higher, much higher
Umbouned fire
Closer, come closer
Close to the core

We burn, we burn
Insanity, insanity
Never set me free

Higher, much higher
Set me on fire
Closer, come closer
Close to the core

We burn, we burn

Insanity, insanity
Never set me free

The lyrics suggest an intoxicating or addictive aspect to the relationship, with the singer offering "all the soul" while beckoning the listener to come closer and closer, driving the heat and intensity toward the core.

The second verse implies a sense of contamination, as the singer takes pride in polluting the listener with their "G-g-generations." This may suggest a generational divide and the singer's influence in bridging the gap. The phrase "never set me free" highlights the obsessive nature of the relationship, with the singer wishing to remain captive in the throes of passion, enthralled by the flames of the experience.

Overall, "We Burn" is a song exploring an intense, burning attraction where it feels like two flames merging as one. The lyrics are vivid and evocative, capturing the wild rush and irresistible allure of heightened emotions when in love or lust.
