Heavy Metal from Sweden (Stockholm)

Song from: Anthology 1980-1982 Best of/Compilation, 2009

Lyrics:
Ljudet av sirener väcker mig i natten
folk e som galna, vad är det som sker

Chrous:
Attack ifrån himlen, skall jorden gå under
finns ingenstans att fly
främlingar ifrån ovan har tagit kontroll
finns ej något hopp, det finns ej något hopp

Brinnande städer, en stämning av ondska
Kolsvarta dimmor, och ingen lämnas kvar

Chrous:
Attack ifrån himlen, skall jorden gå under
finns ingenstans att fly
främlingar ifrån ovan har tagit kontroll
finns ej något hopp, det finns ej något hopp

Bridge:
Inget ljud, inget ljus, bara tomheten finns kvar
Man känner, ingen existens
När plötsligt där uppe på himlen, en stjärna lyser igen
Och ett nytt liv, börjar om igen, igen, igen...



ENGLISH:
The sound of sirens awakes you in the night
People going crazy, what's happening here?

Chrorus:
Attack from the sky, is the world at an end?
There's nowhere to run
Strangers from above have taken control
There's no hope, there's no hope

Burning cities, a presence of evil
Pitch black fog, no one left behind

Chrorus:
Attack from the sky, is the world at an end?
There's nowhere to run
Strangers from above have taken control
There's no hope, there's no hope

Bridge:
No sound, no light, only the emptiness remains
You sense no existence
When suddenly up in the sky, a star shines again
And a new life begins again, again, again...

The band started out in 1979 in the regions of Stockholm and the only member in the lineup that later would become famous was Johan Langquist who turned up as a singer on the first Candlemass album "Epicus Doomicus Metallicus".
The band did two demos in 1980 and 1982. Lyrics are in Swedish. They also played on RockSM in 1982 (a Swedish rock contest). They didn't win, Europe won it instead. The band carried on up to 1986 when Johan did the vocal work on the first Candlemass album. After "Epicus.." Johan carried on with Jonah Quizz and other bands up to 1992 when Leif Edling of Candlemass actually called him again and asked if he wanted to replace Messiah. He did one rehearsal but nothing took off.
