Keeper Of The Seven Keys Lyrics

Make the people
Hold each others hands
And fill their hearts with truth
You made up your mind
So do as divined

Put on your armor
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 taking their wrath

Watch out for the seas of hatred and sin
Or all us people forget what we've been
Our only hopes your victory
Kill that Satan who wont let us be
Our only hopes your victory
Kill that Satan who wont 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 were all in will soon be sold
To the throne of the evil payed with Lucifer's gold
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 seers hand
You're suffering pain
Only steel can stand

Stay well on your way and follow the sign
Fulfill your own promise and do whats divined
The seven seas are far away
Placed in the valley of dust heat and sway
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 were all in will soon be sold
To the throne of the evil payed with Lucifer's gold
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 others 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 worlds in devils hand
Disease, disease, disease my friend
Throw the key or you may die
Disease, disease, disease my friend
For this whole worlds in devils 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...your power
Throw the key Throw the key
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
You locked up the seven seas
And the seer of visions can now rest in peace
There ain't no more demons and no more disease
And mankind, live up, you're free again
Yes the tyran is dead, he is gone,overthrown
You have given our souls back to light

  • scuse me Aaron but shouldn't that be I thinks? Just kidding. I love this song, their other songs too. They are poetic musical geniuses. It kind of reminds me of Iron Maiden Moon Child:
  • Seven deadly sins, seven ways to win, seven holy paths to hell, and your trip begins

    Seven downward slopes seven bloodied hopes seven are your burning fires, seven your desires...

    Awesome. I think Iron Maiden lyrics are scarier, and this band is more positive. I love their other songs like I want out, livin' ain't no crime, I think these lyrics are influenced from religion, same...

    A standard role playing game plot. Hero goes, slays everyone, comes back and ownz the princess etc.

    @latuman saves princess, saves princess again, saves princess again... repeat forever

    It's about how evil is gonna sink the World. Got great metafors in it. It's mostly about good versus Evil

    Awesome song, Dokken's interpretation makes sense as it seems the song has a religious undertone -- usage of "Satan" and "Lucifer" for instance.

    Oh... It's "and the dwarfs of falseness" and not "and they call your voicemail" :P

    Lots of religious contexts in this song I feel ... could it perhaps be about Jesus?? (The Keeper of the Seven Keys??)

    Or is it simply about mankinds battle with "evil" through the ages??

    My Interpretation

    Michael Weikath who wrote this song told the reporter in the swedish television show Rundgång that the song is about Jesus Christ and that is so clear if you just get into the story

    Awesome song! But I kept wondering what happened to the sixth key. Someone please enlighten me.

    Cover art for Keeper Of The Seven Keys lyrics by Helloween

    This song, although full of metaphors, and regardless of how much it might bother a lot of tough guys out there, is about Jesus.

    "Our only hope is your victory, kill that Satan who won't let us be."

    Etc, etc.

    I bet I just ruined that song for a lot of ignorant bastards out there.
