Roland played on several Hellowen albums - from Pink Bubbles Go Ape to The Dark Ride.
During his time with Helloween Roland also formed a solo project. The first release, The Four Seasons of Life, featured members of Helloween playing backup, with Roland trying his hand at singing in addition to guitar playing. On the second album, Kaleidoscope, current and former members of Yngwie Malmsteen's band were utilised.
In 2001, Roland and bandmate Uli Kusch were fired from Helloween due to musical and personal differences with guitarist Michael Weikath. The side project they had been planning, Masterplan, instead became their new full-time band.
Angel Face
Roland Grapow Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I couldn't take my stare away from you
The eyes of a cat, lips of seduction
Wind blows your hair, like gloomy haze
Feeling of immunity in a web of emotions
Was our philosophy, you know what I mean
Pictures of the glory days I haven't seen in a long time
Angel face, my angel face
Please tell me where's the answer, I'll hold a sign, it says
Angel face, no more faith
'Cause without any answer is our love like a flower on grave
You won't find an open sealing
Your love is a barricade of steel
My heart is filled with daydreams
To return to our love battlefield
Tears won't dry, hate won't deny, this might be the ending
Deception spins around, you know what I mean
No more trust and no more pain in this hopeless circle
I will rise and you will fall
Angel face, my angel face
Please tell me where's the answer, I'll hold a sign, it says
Angel face, no more faith
'Cause without any answer is our love like a flower on grave
(SOLO)
I never will forget the end
I'll never say good bye
Destiny set us free, oh
Angel face, my angel face
Why don't we hear the answer before emotions fade away
Angel face, my angel face
Please tell me where's the answer, I'll hold a sign, it says
Angel face, no more faith
'Cause without any answer is our love like a flower on grave
The song "Angel Face" by Roland Grapow tells the story of a doomed love affair between two people who were once very much in love but are now struggling to maintain their relationship. In the first verse, the singer describes the physical beauty of his partner, comparing her to a cat with seductive lips and hair that moves like a gloomy haze in the wind. He also expresses the intense emotions he feels when he is with her, but notes that their philosophy of feeling immune to these emotions may be what is causing their troubles.
In the second verse, the singer speaks to his partner directly, expressing his frustration with the barriers that are preventing them from reconnecting. He notes that their love used to be a battlefield, but now it feels like a flower on a grave due to their inability to communicate and work through their issues. The song features a soaring guitar solo that adds to the emotional intensity of the lyrics.
Overall, "Angel Face" is a poignant reflection on the ups and downs of love, and the difficulties that can arise when couples struggle to communicate and understand each other's needs.

When I saw you the very first time
From the moment I first saw you, my gaze was transfixed
I couldn't take my stare away from you
I was unable to look away from your captivating presence
The eyes of a cat, lips of seduction
Your eyes were alluring, like those of a cat, and your lips appeared tempting and seductive
Wind blows your hair, like gloomy haze
The wind blowing through your hair gave the impression of a somber haze in the air
Feeling of immunity in a web of emotions
We felt like nothing could touch us in the midst of a complex web of emotions
Was our philosophy, you know what I mean
This was our way of thinking and perceiving things, and you understand what I'm saying
Pictures of the glory days I haven't seen in a long time
I haven't experienced the happy and joyous times we had in a while
Time locked the door and stole the key
Time has prevented us from accessing those happy memories and stole them away from us
Angel face, my angel face
You are an angelic beauty, my love
Please tell me where's the answer, I'll hold a sign, it says
Please communicate with me and tell me where to find the solution to our problems, I'll do anything to fix it
Angel face, no more faith
I've lost faith in our love, my angelic beauty
'Cause without any answer is our love like a flower on grave
Without any resolution, our love is slowly dying and wilting away like a flower on a grave
You won't find an open sealing
You won't find an easy or simple solution
Your love is a barricade of steel
Your love has become an impenetrable barrier that prevents us from resolving our issues
My heart is filled with daydreams
My heart is filled with longing dreams and hopes
To return to our love battlefield
To relive the moments when our love was strong and alive
Tears won't dry, hate won't deny, this might be the ending
My tears won't stop and the hate won't let me ignore the possibility that this may be the end for us
Deception spins around, you know what I mean
Dishonesty and lies are present, and you understand what I'm trying to say
No more trust and no more pain in this hopeless circle
We've lost all trust and the pain seems never-ending in this vicious cycle of problems
I will rise and you will fall
I will come out victorious, while you will fail
Why don't we hear the answer before emotions fade away
Why can't we find a solution before our emotions disappear
I never will forget the end
I will always remember the downfall of our love
I'll never say good bye
I won't say farewell or end things between us
Destiny set us free, oh
Fate has set us free and led us on separate paths
