    I discovered Helloween last year and they are one of my favourite bands now. I had actually heard your rendition of "I Want Out" several times before I heard the original. It was pretty wild hearing it the first time and already being familiar with it.

    Sei un vero maestro e l’arrangiamento è da paura!!
    Conosco a memoria ogni nota di questo brano e l’esecuzione è incredibilmente fedele, a parte qualche licenza (beat it - un major prima del bridge le mie preferite).
    Le doppie chitarre, gli assoli, i vocalizzi di Michael… assurdo!!
    Bravissimo.

    Lyrics
    Make the people
    Hold each other's hands
    And fill their hearts with truth
    You made up your mind
    So do as divined
    Put on your armour
    Ragged after fights
    Hold up your sword
    You're leaving the light
    Make yourself ready
    For the lords of the dark
    They'll watch your way
    So be cautious, quiet and hark
    You hear them whispering
    In the crowns of the trees
    You're whirling 'round
    But your eyes don't agree
    Will'o'the wisps
    Misguiding your path
    You can't throw a curse
    Without takin' their wrath
    Watch out for the seas of hatred and sin
    Or all us people forget what we've been
    Our only hope's your victory
    Kill that Satan who won't let us be--kill!
    You're the Keeper of the Seven Keys
    That lock up the seven seas
    And the Seer of Visions said before he went blind
    Hide them from demons and rescue mankind
    Or the world we're all in will soon be sold
    To the throne of the evil payed with Lucifer's gold
    You can feel cold sweat
    Running down your neck
    And the dwarfs of falseness
    Throw mud at your back
    Guided by spells
    Of the old Seer's hand
    You're suffering pain
    Only steel can stand
    Stay well on your way and follow the sign
    Fulfull your own promise and do what's divined
    The seven seas are far away
    Placed in the valley of dust heat and sway
    You're the Keeper of the Seven Keys
    That lock up the seven seas
    And the Seer of Visions said before he went blind
    Hide them from demons and rescue mankind
    Or the world we're all in will soon be sold
    To the throne of the evil payed with Lucifer's gold
    Throw the first key into the sea of hate
    Throw the second key into the sea of fear
    Throw the third key into the sea of senselessness
    And make the people hold each other's hands
    The fourth key belongs into the sea of greed
    And the fifth into the sea of ignorance
    Disease, disease, disease my friend
    For this whole world's in devil's hand
    Disease, disease, disease my friend
    Throw the key or you may die
    On a mound at the shore of the last sea
    He is sitting, fixing your sight
    With his high iron voice causing sickness
    He is playing you out with delight
    "Man who do you just think you are?
    A silly bum with seven stars
    Don't throw the key or you will see
    Dimensions cruel as they can be"
    Don't let him suck off your power
    Throw the key...!
    An earthquake, squirting fire, bursting ground
    Satan's screaming, and earth swallowing him away!
    You're the Keeper of the Seven Keys
    That lock up the seven seas
    And the Seer of Visions said before he went blind
    Hide them from demons and rescue mankind
    Or the world we're all in will soon be sold
    To the throne of the evil payed with Lucifer's gold
