Would you love a Monsterman?

The finals of the Eurovision was simply spectacular and this year the annual European singing contest was held in the picturesque Greece.

Perhaps what made this year's competition so special was the performance by the winner -- a heavy metal rock band Lordi from Finland. The band was dressed in a monster costume and their performance that included pyrotechnics rocked the audience. (See a video of the winning performance)

Although it was huge and convincing success for the group who won with 292 points, 44 points ahead of the next competitor, prior to this the group was shrouded in controversy as some people felt they were Satanists and called for their immediate disqualification. However they look more like Orcs that come out from something like the Lord of the Rings or even the game Warcraft.

The song to look out for is Hard Rock Hallelujah:

Hard Rock Hallelujah!
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

*Chorus
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

*Chorus

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! X4

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

Hard Rock Hallelujah!
