I left alone my mind was black, I needed time to get the memories from my mind |
|
What did I see can I believe, that what I saw that night was real and not just fantasy |
|
Just what I saw in my old dreams, were they reflections of my warped mind staring back at me |
|
Cos in my dreams it's always there, the evil face that twists my mind and brings me to despair |
| The night was black was no use holding back, cos I just had to see was someone watching me |
| In the mist dark figures move and twist, was this all for real or some kind of hell |
| 666 the number of the beast |
| Hell and fire was spawned to be released |
| Torches blazed and sacred chants were praised, as they start to cry hands held to the sky |
| In the night the fires burning bright, the ritual has begun Satan's work is done |
| 666 the number of the beast |
|
Sacrifice is going on tonight |
| This can't go on I must inform the law, can this still be real or some crazy dream |
| But I feel drawn towards the evil chanting hordes, they seem to mesmerise me...can't avoid their eyes |
| 666 the number of the beast |
| 666 the one for you and me |
| I'm coming back I will return, and I'll possess your body and I'll make you burn |
| I have the fire I have the force, I have the power to make my evil takes its course |
|
(Harris) |
|
You'll take my life but I'll take yours too |
|
You'll fire your musket but I'll run you through |
| So when you're waiting for the next attack |
|
You' d better stand there's no turning back |
|
The Bugle sounds and the charge begins |
| But on this battlefield no one wins |
| The smell of acrid smoke and horses breath |
| As I plunge on into certain death |
| The horse he sweats with fear we break to run |
| The mighty roar of the Russian guns |
| And as we race towards the human wall |
| The screams of pain as my comrades fall |
| We hurdle bodies that lay on the ground |
| And the Russians fire another round |
| We get so near yet so far away |
| We won't live to fight another day |
| We get so close near enough to fight |
| When a Russian gets me in his sights |
| He pulls the trigger and I feel the blow |
| A burst of rounds take my horse below |
| And as I lay there gazing at the sky |
| My body's numb and my throat is dry |
| And as I lay forgotten and alone |
| Without a tear I draw my parting groan |
|

|
Walking through the city, looking oh so pretty |
|
I've just got to find my way |
|
See the ladies flashing, all their legs and lashes |
|
I've just got to find my way |
|
Well you see me crawling through the bushes with it open wide |
|
What you seeing girl? |
|
Can't you believe that feeling |
|
Can't you believe it |
|
Can't you believe your eyes? |
|
It's the real thing girl |
|
Got me feeling myself, and reeling around |
|
Got me talking, but feel like walking around |
|
I'm on my way |

|
Unchain the colours before my eyes, yesterdays sorrows tomorrows white lies |
|
Scan the horizon the clouds take me higher, I shall return from out of the fire |
|
Tears for remembrance and tears for joy, tears for somebody and this lonely boy |
|
Out in the madness the all seeing eye, flickers above us to light up the sky |
|
Unchain the colours before my eyes, yesterdays sorrows tomorrows white lies |
|
Scan the horizon the clouds take me higher, I shall return from out the fire |
|

| It's snowing outside, the rumbling sound of engines roar in the night |
| The mission is near, the confident men are waiting to drop from the sky |
| The blizzard goes on but still they must fly |
| No-one should go where eagles dare |
| Bavarian Alps that lay all around, they seem to stare from below |
| The enemy lines a long time passed, are lying deep in the snow |
| Into the night they fall through the sky |
| No-one should go where eagles dare |
| They're closing in the fortress is near, it's standing high in the sky |
| The cable cars the only way in, it's really impossible to climb |
| They make their way but maybe too late |
| They've got to try to save the day |
| The panicking cries, the roaring of guns are echoing all round the valley |
| The mission complete, they make to escape away from the Eagles Nest |
| They dared to go where no-one would try |
| They chose to fly where eagles dare |
|
(Harris/Murray/Di'anno) |
| Out of winter came a warhorse of steel |
| I've never killed a woman before but I know how it feels |
| I'd know you'd have gone insane if you saw what I saw |
| So now I've got to look for sanctuary from the law |
| I met up with a stranger last night to keep me alive |
| He spends all his time on gambling and guns to survive |
| I'd know you'd have gone insane if you saw what I saw |
| So now I've got to look for sanctuary from the law |
| So give me sanctuary from the law...and I'll be alright |
| Sanctuary from the law...and love me tonight |
| I'd know you'd have gone insane if you saw what I saw |
| So now I've got to look for sanctuary from the law |
| So give me sanctuary from the law...and I'll be alright |
| Just give me sanctuary from the law...and love me tonight |
| I can laugh at the wind |
| I can howl at the rain |
| Down in the canyon or out on the plain |
| I'd know you'd have gone insane if you saw what I saw |
| So now I've got to look for sanctuary from the law |
| So give me sanctuary from the law...and I'll be alright |
| Just give me sanctuary from the law...and love me tonight, tonight |
| Love me tonight |

Just sixteen a pickup truck, out of money out of luck |
|
I've got no place to call my own, Hit the gas and here I go |
|
I'm running free yeh, I'm running free |
|
I'm running free yeh, I'm running free |
|
Spend the night in an L.A. jail, listen to the sirens wail |
|
But they ain't got a thing on me, I'm running wild I'm running free |
| I'm running free yeh, I'm running free |
| I'm running free yeh, I'm running free |
| Pulled her at the Bottle Top, whiskey dancing disco hop |
| And all the boys are after me, and that's the way it's gonna be |
| I'm running free yeh, I'm running free |
| I'm running free yeh, I'm running free |

White man came across the sea, brought us pain and misery |
|
Killed our tribes killed our creed, took our game for his own need |
|
We fought him hard we fought him well, out on the plains we gave him hell |
|
But many came too much for Cree, oh will we ever be set free? |
| Riding through dustclouds and barren wastes, galloping hard on the plains |
| Chasing the redskins back to their holes, fighting them at their own game |
| Murder for freedom the stab in the back, women and children and cowards attack |
| Run to the hills, run for your lives |
| Run to the hills, run for your lives |
| Soldier blue in the barren wastes, hunting and killing their game |
| Raping the women and wasting the men, the only good Indians are tame |
| Selling them whiskey and taking their gold, enslaving the young and destroying the old |
| Run to the hills, run for your lives |
| Run to the hills, run for your lives |
| Run to the hills, run for your lives |
| Run to the hills, run for your lives |
|

Kill for gain or shoot to maim, but we don't need a reason |
|
The Golden Goose is on the loose, and never out of season |
| Blackened pride still burns inside, this shell of bloody treason |
|
Here's my gun for a barrel of fun, for the love of living death |
|
The killer's on the loose or the Demon's seed, the glamour, the fortune, the pain |
| Go to war again blood is freedom's stain, don't you pray fro my soul anymore |
| 2 minutes to midnight |
| The hands that threaten doom |
| 2 minutes to midnight |
| To kill the unborn in the womb |
| The blind men shout let the creatures out, we'll show the unbelievers |
| the Napalm screams of human flames, of a prime time Belsen feast...YEAH |
| As the reasons for the carnage cut their meat and lick the gravy |
| We oil the jaws of the war machine, and fee it with our babies |
| 2 minutes to midnight |
| The hands that threaten doom |
| 2 minutes to midnight |
| To kill the unborn in the womb |
| The body bags and little rags of children torn in two |
| And the jellied brains of those who remain to put the finger right on you |
| As the madmen play on words and make us all dance to their song |
| To the tune of starving millions to make a better kind of gun |
| 2 minutes to midnight |
| The hands that threaten doom |
| 2 minutes to midnight |
| To kill the unborn in the womb |
| Midnight...all night... |

Won't you come into my room, I want to show you all my wares |
|
I just want to see your blood, I just want to stand and stare |
| See the blood begin to flow, as it falls upon the floor |
| Iron Maiden can't be fought, Iron Maiden can't be sought |
| Oh well, wherever, wherever you are |
| Iron Maiden's gonna get you, no matter how far |
| See the blood begin to flow, watching it shed up above my head |
| Iron Maiden wants you for dead |
| All my feelings cannot be held, I'm happy in my new strange world |
| Won't you come into my room, I want to show you all my wares |
| I just want to see your blood, I just want to stand and stare |
| See the blood begin to flow, as it falls upon the floor |
| Iron Maiden can't be fought, Iron Maiden can't be sought |
| Oh well, wherever, wherever you are |
| Iron Maiden's gonna get you, no matter how far |
| See the blood begin to flow, watching it shed up above my head |
| Iron Maiden wants you for dead |

I'm waiting in my cold cell when the bell begins to chime |
|
Reflecting on my past life and it doesn't have much time |
| Cos at 5 o'clock they take me to the Gallows Pole |
|
The sands of time for me are running low |
|
When the priest comes to read me the last rites |
| I take a look through the bars at the last sights |
| Of a world that has gone very wrong for me |
| Can it be there's been some sort of error |
| Hard to stop the surmounting terror |
| Is it really the end not some crazy dream |
| Somebody please tell me that I'm dreaming |
| It's not so easy to stop from screaming |
| But words escape me when I try to speak |
|
Tears they flow but why am I crying |
| After all I'm not afraid of dying |
| Don't I believe that there never is an end |
| As the guards march me out to the courtyard |
| Someone calls from a cell "God be with you" |
| If there's a God then why has he let me die? |
| As I walk all my life drifts before me |
| And though the end is near I'm not sorry |
| Catch my soul cos it's willing to fly away |
| Mark my words please believe my soul lives on |
| Please don't worry now that I have gone |
| I've gone beyond to see the truth |
| When you know that your time is close at hand |
| Maybe then you'll begin to understand |
| Life down there is just a strange illusion |
