epic songs #14: Lordi - Hardrock Hallelujah (ESC 2006)

Next saturday will be the finals of the Eurovision song contest 2018 in Portugal. For me as a metalhead the very most of the songs are far too soft and too much of this hypcriticial Love, Peace & Harmony shit optimized in every detail by experts. But in 2006 this was crashed by the participants from Finland. Love Peace & Harmony - no , not really. No (mainstream) radio station broadcasted this song more often than one or two times, whether before nor after the final. Any expert said that they won't have any chance to win because it's too freaky, hard, disgusting, etc.. But this finnish metal band achieved what the ESC always is pretending: Bringing people together: Finland won with 292 points (44 points more than the 2nd place).

So my this week's epic song is:

Lordi
Hardrock Hallelujah

Lyrics:
Hard Rock Hallelujah!
The saints are crippled
On this sinners' night
Lost are the lambs with no guiding light
The walls come down like thunder
The rocks about to roll
It's The Arockalypse
Now bare your soul
All we need is lightning
With power and might
Striking down the prophets of false
As the moon is rising
Give us the sign
Now let us rise up in awe
Rock 'n roll angels bring thyn hard rock hallelujah
Demons and angels all in one have arrived
Rock 'n roll angels bring thyn hard rock hallelujah
In God's creation supernatural high
The true believers
Thou shall be saved
Brothers and sisters keep strong in the faith
On the day of Rockoning
It's who dares, wins
You will see the jokers soon'll be the new kings
All we need is lightning
With power and might
Striking down the prophets of false
As the moon is rising
Give us the sign
Now let us rise up in awe
Rock 'n roll angels bring thyn hard rock hallelujah
Demons and angels all in one have arrived
Rock 'n roll angels bring thyn hard rock hallelujah
In God's creation supernatural high
Wings on my back
I got horns on my head
My fangs are sharp
And my eyes are red
Not quite an angel
Or the one that fell
Now choose to join us or go straight to Hell
Hard Rock Hallelujah!
Rock 'n roll angels bring thyn hard rock hallelujah
Demons and angels all in one have arrived
Rock 'n roll angels bring thyn hard rock hallelujah
In God's creation supernatural high
