| It's a f*ckin damn great song! I think that Helloween crashed after Kiske left the band. Andi is good at singing powerful songs like Mirror Mirror. He is good in the studio but he SUCKS at live songs. I saw some of their live songs. Why couldn't Kiske come back? And Kai was a great dude as well. | |

| 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. | |

| The best Helloween song! This song is explanation of Helloween's existence. Christianity, faith, hope, love - main themes of their songs. This song is about man's union with God - we must accept faith in God and we must reject seven sins if we want to be free. Great band, one of the best in metal genre. Also, I don't understand why many people don't like albums "Pink Bubbles Go Ape" or "Chameleon"? Music from this band is pure art and we can learn so much from Helloween. | |

| Not necessarily about Jesus, though it does definately have influence from the Christian faith of the band's members. Note how the song is in second person, how YOU are the Keeper of the Seven Keys. To me, it seems to be suggesting a way of life. Humans being subject to temptation is preached by Christianity: those seven seas could be seas of temptation, tempting towards the seven cardinal sins or other evils. "Throw the key or you may die" suggests that following an evil path will destroy you. The idea of temptation is shown most strong with Satan who tries to mislead you (You being the hero). By overcoming these temptations, you defeat Satan: that is, the threat to your soul, and possibly the threat that you would otherwise be to the world. | |
