Helstar - Winds Of War

From The Album ''A Distant Thunder'' (1988)

On a cold night, in the winter winds
I lift my head, and stare to the stars
To find a path that will lead me out
To a place that will heal the scar

Of once a battle that raged long ago
Through the atmosphere surface, we all would go
Destroyer cruisers and our fighter ships
We're on a mission of mercy declared by the script

On our way to meet the Axis Powers
Surprise attack! We all went down
Destroyer cruisers, and our fighter ships
Were wrecked to the ground
There were dead all around, so I pledge I would die
"An eye for an eye" so was it burned in my head
"Vengeance is mine" you'll all be dead!

I built on the trenches beyond anger and sweat
My fighter repaired no need to dispair
With its cruiser engines, and all its armor wear
Off to destroy and kill my enemies
For betrayed we were in the scriptures of peace
Beyond the star of the rising sun

L.B. solo

A.C. solo

So ends the memory of once was to be
No longer do I live to see
Another time, some other place
No need to face this disgrace
As I believe to be the only one
I should do in myself as they had planned
So I write this log to anyone who finds
Will know that just has been done!

Another godforsaken classic Helstar-song.

The riffing, the breaks, the solos, the singing, they still all drive me crazy for all these years !!

[Hangar18productions]

This has got to one of the best guitar solos ever.

man i missed out on this band in the 80s i used to see their albums in record stores [remember them] i never bothered to to check them out the covers were kinda ohh just another satanic band in the 80s i guess because of the pentagram so many heavy bands were always evil image man i was wrong this is great real musicians here i guess better late than never
