Helloween - Phantoms Of Death Lyrics






[Hansen]

There are phantoms here on earth who take away our lives
They kill your kids and they rape your wives
They rip your flesh tear your heart take you down to hell
They don't give a damn on any kind of life

Phantoms bring evil, destruction and death
Night after night the same old game
They all look so harmless but deep in their hearts
Satan is lurking, and he will break out

Always someone at your back only waiting to attack

[Chorus]
Phantoms of death, Phantoms of death

The empire of deceivers is built upon your fear
You'll have to lose it 'cause the end is near
Warheads, armies stand to strike I know it isn't right
I wanna get out of here I don't wanna die

Infernal destruction of fire you'll burn
Then you'll be helpless but it's not too late
Stand up right now and you'll be the winner
Or Satan will get you, take you forever

Genocide everywhere, where's the saviour of this world

[Chorus]
Phantoms of death, Phantoms of death

[Solo: M/K/M/K/K/both]

Where is he the promised saviour the one who'll save the earth
Perhaps he'll come to bury us but then it'll be too late
Who are they who are the phantoms who will end our lives
It's you and me, you and me open up your eyes

Phantoms bring evil, destruction and death
Night after night the same old game
They all look so harmless but deep in their hearts
Satan is lurking, and he will break out

We are all parasites of this world we shall die

[Chorus]
Phantoms of death, Phantoms of death

  27. M.... C....

  28. F.... A....

    amorxxxxx oli muxo

    F.... A....

    Felix Adolfo Flores Romero muaaaa

  29. s.... ....

    un orgasmo...ogni fottuttissima volta

  30. A.... ....

    besides 2 minutes to midnight, it also sounds like Steeler.

    A.... ....

    Novembyr "Always someone at your back!"

  31. 0.... ....

    3:11.... wow, awesome! 💪💪💪

  32. C.... Z....

    Sounds like some Priest

    C.... Z....

    Like "Locked In"

  33. t.... ....

    I can't believe I still know the lyrics to this song after listening to it over and over in the 80's.

  34. t.... q....

    El mejor solo de ese álbum de la ptm , desde el segundo  3:33 es un orgasmo

  35. P.... A....

    Far, far better than any of these song that people claiming. This album rules!

    P.... A....

    true amazing album just like the first album what came first too Helloween with Kai Hansen is so great !

  36. H.... D....

    Uma mistura de Iron Maiden com Metallica, mistura the four horseman, com 2 minutes to midnight e phantom of the opera

    H.... D....

    Sii también pensé eso! cuando los escuche!! Jaja, el sonido y las voces son similares a Maiden y a Tallica'

  37. R.... P....

    4:08 Beautiful! *-*

    R.... P....

    *nods* goosebumps

    R.... P....

    3:37 is the law. Neo-classical scales ftw.. :-)

  38. k.... ....

    POOOOWEEEEEEEER

  39. C.... H....

    kai hansen \m/

  40. E.... K....

    Awesome, yeah!!!

  41. M.... ....

    Listen to Swords and Tequila

    Than listen to Welcome to Hell

    Than listen to curse of pharaohs

    Than listen to 2 minutes to midnight

    Than listen to this song

    Lol.

    M.... ....

    +Marko Savic I don't get why people always like to point out the slight similarity between all those riffs. Almost every Iron Maiden song follows the same riff pattern but they still manage to make every song unique enough and that's all that matters

    M.... ....

    Hmmm... I don't think so. All songs are great, but I noticed similarity with those riffs.

    M.... ....

    +Marko Savic Just enjoy the song for Christs sake.

    M.... ....

    then listen to you dont have to be old to be wise

  42. J.... ....

    Wow, if this is the standard that constitutes a "rip-off" of a riff, then pretty much every riff is a rip-off of hundreds of other riffs. Try to write a riff that doesn't share some similarity with something else, I dare you....

    J.... ....

    +JayTor2112 Yeah man, just because there is similarity doesn't mean it's a rip off. There's similar influences, styles, and overall just loving similar music. Also, while a riff here and there may be similar to another, you have to look at the whole song, the way the verse melody/chorus' go, per-chorus' and many other sections to the song/songs. The whole package makes songs with similar riffs different.

    J.... ....

    The Iron Maiden album was put out in '84. This was '85. So, it could be possible this came BEFORE it.

    J.... ....

    This is a super late reply but I feel it needs to be said: There is nothing wrong with Homage, it's not a rip-off unless it's a note for note copy without any sense of modifying with intent to improve and stylize. Without nods and improvements to what is already good, a genre doesn't advance. Same goes for films and tv. Without ET there wouldn't be Stranger Things. Worlds a better place with both in it. Awesome music is the same way! The Principle applies to just about anything in the world.

  43. C.... ....

    this song is such a Iron Maiden rip-off... unless this was on purpuse. There's the main riff from 2 Minutes to Midnight, the title from Phantom of the Opera, the rhythm from Phantom of the Opera, and a bit of Number of the Beast.

    C.... ....

    that's because this song is so generic, Helloween wasn't nothing at this time, the greatest artists that they become later in the 1988!!

    C.... ....

    Get your ears checked douchebag.

    C.... ....

    @COMBATACE1 iron maiden is over-rated, helloween are the true legends

    C.... ....

    Chord progression

    C.... ....

    2 minutes to midnight was also ripped + maiden ripped off powerslave's main riff from Kiss - Exciter too.

  44. T.... T....

    Clássico!..

  45. a.... k....

    PHADOMS          of  DEATH

  46. a.... k....

    kaikaikai kaika

  47. K.... ....


    I like how the vocals seem almost atmospheric like it's melted with the guitars.

  48. G.... B....

    Very Clive Burr inspired drumming here...

  49. Z.... T....

    Kai was fucking perfect in the vocals!

  50. D.... P....

    I didn´t mean that Kai was a bad singer in Walls of Jericho. It´s just a comparison with nowadays.

  51. D.... P....

    Why? I didn´t disconsider the song. I like the song. Don´t misunderstand.

  52. d.... ....

    Your comment is "acceptable". If you know what I mean. ;)

  53. D.... P....

    To complete: Kai Hansen in Walls of Jericho used to sing in very high pitch

  54. D.... P....

    The guitar work here is awesome by Kai/Weikath, very techinical,makes the listening engaging. This is one of the best tracks of the debut full-length album by Helloween. The drum lines are original and indicate wide use of skill by Ingo,gives a progression feel the way it shifts. I´m a great fan of Kai Hansen,he´s a genius (this song was his idea). The vocals in this album were less trained,more aggresive in comparison to his Gamma Ray days, but still acceptable.

  55. w.... f....

    not kneel before the devil, destroying all prisons

  56. J.... C....

    ataaaaaaack!

  57. S.... k....

    i fucking love this song !!!

  58. z.... t....

    helloween θεοί !!!!!!
