Viernes de metal

Helloween volvía con una nueva formación después de la muerte de su baterista Ingo Schwichtenberg (1994) y el ingreso de Andi Deris en las vocales dos álbums después de que Michael Kiske, anterior vocalista y emblema de la banda, dimitiera de su puesto; así, en 1995, graban The Time of the Oath, un disco conceptual que hace referencia a las profecías de Nostradamus y que llevaría de nuevo a la banda a la senda del éxito.

Si bien, Andi Deris no había demostrado tener esa potencia de voz y carisma que Michael Kiske poseía, su trabajo en el tema Power es impresionante. La canción con una letra ejemplar, es sin duda uno de los clásicos más grandes de la banda y, para mi gusto, la mejor canción del disco.

Can you imagine someone being true
turn around and put himself in front of you?
Sometimes it’s fun but then you never know
how far a thing like this might go.

All my life I’ve waited for a chance to get right out of here and
when I had it in my hands I could not let it go.

We’ve got the power, we are divine,
we have the guts to follow the sign.
Extracting tension from sources unknown,
we are the ones to cover the throne!

Try if you can to come where we have gone.
You may achieve what can’t be simply done.
Look back and there you are where we have been
and still there’s so much in between.

All those years I’ve travelled around this world now I am standing here to
make you sing these tunes and know they’ll never let you go.

We’ve got the power, we are divine,
we have the guts to follow the sign.
Extracting tension from sources unknown,
we are the ones to cover the throne!

We’ve got the power, we are divine,
we have the guts to follow the sign.
Extracting tension from sources unknown,
we are the ones to cover the throne!

We’ve got the power, we are divine!!!
