(Dickinson/Gers) |
| Covered in sinners and dripping with guilt |
| Making your money from slime and from filth |
| Parading your bellies in ivory towers |
| Investing our lives in your schemes and your powers |
| You got to watch them - be quick or be dead |
| Snake eyes in heaven - the thief in your head |
| You've got to watch them - be quick or be dead |
| Snake eyes in heaven - the thief in your head |
| Be quick |
| Or be dead |
| Be quick |
| Or be dead |
| See...what's ruling all our lives |
| See...who's pulling the strings |
| See...what's ruling all our lives |
| See...who pulls the strings |
| I bet you won't fall flat on your face |
| Your belly will hold you in place |
| The serpent is crawling inside of your ear |
| He says you must vote for what you want to hear |
| Don't matter what's wrong as long you're alright |
| Pull yourself stupid and rob yourself blind |
| You got to watch them - be quick or be dead |
| Snake eyes in heaven - the thief in your head |
| You've got to watch them - be quick or be dead |
| Snake eyes in heaven - the thief in your head |
| Be quick |
| Or be dead |
| Or be dead |
| Or be dead |
| You got to watch them - be quick or be dead |
| Snake eyes in heaven - the thief in your head |
| You've got to watch them - be quick or be dead |
| Snake eyes in heaven - the thief in your head |
| Be quick |
| Or be dead |
| Or be dead |

| She fell in love with his greasy machine, she leaned over wiped his kick-start clean |
| She'd never seen the beast before, but she left there wanting more more more |
| But when she was walking on down the road, she heard a sound that made her heart explode |
| He whispered to her to get on the back, I'll take you on a ride from here to eternity |
| Hell ain't a bad place |
| Hell is from here to eternity |
| Hell ain't a bad place |
| Hell is from here to eternity |
| She must be having one of her crazy dreams, she'd never sat on a piece so mean |
| It made her feel like she's on cloud nine, she even thought she heard the engine sigh |
| But like all dreams they come to an end, they took a tumble at the devil's bend |
| The beast and Charlotte they were two of a kind, They'd always take the line from here to eternity |
| Hell ain't a bad place |
| Hell is from here to eternity |
| Hell ain't a bad place |
| Hell is from here to eternity |
| Hell ain't a bad place |
| Hell is from here to eternity |
| Hell ain't a bad place |
| Hell is from here to eternity |
| Hell ain't a bad place |
| Hell is from here to eternity |
| Hell ain't a bad place |
| Hell is from here to eternity |
| Hell ain't a bad place |
| Hell is from here to eternity |

| Can I play with madness |
| Give me the sense to wonder, to wonder if I'm free |
| Give me a sense of wonder, to know I can be |
| Give me the strength to hold my head up, spit back in their face |
| Don't need no key to unlock the door, gonna break down the walls |
| Break out of this bad place |
| Can I play with madness - the prophet stared at his crystal ball |
| Can I play with madness - there's no vision there at all |
| Can I play with madness - the prophet looked and laughed at me |
| Can I play with madness - he said you're blind too blind to see |
| I screamed aloud to the old man, I said don't lie don't say you don't know |
| I say you'll pay for your mischief, in this world or the next |
| Oh and then he fixed me with a freezing glance, and the hell fires raged in his eyes |
| He said do you want to know the truth son - I'll tell you the truth |
| Your soul's gonna burn in the lake of fire |
| Can I play with madness - the prophet stared at his crystal ball |
| Can I play with madness - there's no vision there at all |
| Can I play with madness - the prophet looked at he laughed at me |
| Can I play with madness - he said you're blind too blind to see |
| Can I play with madness - the prophet stared at his crystal ball |
| Can I play with madness - there's no vision there at all |
| Can I play with madness - the prophet looked at he laughed at me |
| Can I play with madness - he said you're blind too blind to see |

(Dickinson/Gers) |
| Maybe one day I'll be an honest man, up till now I'm doing the best I can |
| Long roads long days of sunrise to sunset, sunrise to sunset |
| Dream on brother while you can, dream on sister I hope you find the one |
| All of our lives, covered up quickly by the tides of time |
| Spend your days full of emptiness |
| Spend your years full of loneliness |
| Wasting love, in a desperate caress |
| Rolling shadows of nights |
| Dream on brother while you can, dream on sister I hope you find the one |
| All of our lives covered up quickly by the tides of time |
| Sands are flowing and the lines are in your hand |
| In your eyes I see the hunger, and the desperate cry that tears the night |
| Spend your days full of emptiness |
| Spend your years full of loneliness |
| Wasting love, in a desperate caress |
| Rolling shadows of nights |
| Spend your days full of emptiness |
| Spend your years full of loneliness |
| Wasting love, in a desperate caress |
| Rolling shadows of nights |
| Spend your days full of emptiness |
| Spend your days full of loneliness |
| Wasting love, in a desperate caress |
| Rolling shadows of nights |

(Harris/Dickinson) |
| Trace your way back 50 years, to the glow of Dresden - blood and tears |
| In the black above my cruel searchlight, men will die and men will fight - yeah |
| Who shot who and who fired first, dripping death to whet the blood thirst |
| No radar lock on - skin and bone, the bomber boys are coming home |
| Climb into the sky never wonder why - tail gunner |
| You're a tail gunner |
| Climb into the sky never wonder why - tail gunner |
| You're a tail gunner |
| Climb into the sky never wonder why - tail gunner |
| You're a tail gunner |
| Climb into the sky never wonder why - tail gunner |
| You're a tail gunner |
| Nail that Focker kill that son, gonna blow your guts out with my gun |
| The weather forecasts good for war, Cologne and Frankfurt have some more |
| Tail end Charlie in the boiling sky, the Enola Gay is my last try |
| Now that this tail gunner's gone, no more Bombers (just one big bomb) |
| Climb into the sky never wonder why - tail gunner |
| You're a tail gunner |
| Climb into the sky never wonder why - tail gunner |
| You're a tail gunner |
| Climb into the sky never wonder why - tail gunner |
| You're a tail gunner |
| Climb into the sky never wonder why - tail gunner |
| You're a tail gunner |

| Love is a razor and I walked the line on that silver blade |
| Slept in the dust with his daughter, her eyes red with the slaughter of innocence |
| But I will pray for her, I will call her name out loud |
| I would bleed for her, if I could see her now |
| Living on a razors edge |
| Balancing on a ledge |
| Living on a razors edge |
| Oh - balancing on a ledge |
| Oh - balancing on a ledge |
| Living on a razors edge |
| Balancing on a ledge |
| The evil that men do lives on and on |
| The evil that men do lives on and on |
| The evil that men do lives on and on |
| The evil that men do live on and on |
| Circle of fire my baptism of joy at an end it seems |
| The seventh lamb slain the book of life opens before me |
| And I will pray for you, some day I may return |
| I would die for you, beyond is where I learn |
| Living on a razors edge |
| Balancing on a ledge |
| Living on a razors edge |
| The evil that men do lives on and on |
| The evil that men do lives on and on |
| The evil that men do lives on and on |
| The evil that men do lives on and on |
| Living on a razors edge |
| Balancing on a ledge |
| Living on a razors edge |
| The evil that men do lives on and on |
| The evil that men do lives on and on |
| The evil that men do lives on and on |
| The evil that men do lives on and on |
| The evil, the evil, the evil that men do |
| The evil, the evil, the evil that men do |

| I lie awake at night I wipe the sweat from my brow, but it's not the fear 'cos I'd rather go now |
| Trying to visualise the horrors that will lay ahead, the desert sand mound a burial ground |
| When it comes to the time, are we partners in crime |
| When it comes to the time, we'll be ready to die |
| God let us go now and finish what's to be done, thy kingdom come, thy shall be done...on an oath |
| Trying to justify to ourselves the reasons to go, should we live and let live, forget or forgive |
| But how can we let go on this way, the reign of terror corruption must end |
| And we know deep down there's no other way, no trust no reasoning no more to say |
| Afraid to shoot strangers |
| Afraid to shoot strangers |
| Afraid, afraid to shoot strangers |
| Afraid, afraid to shoot strangers |
| Afraid, afraid to shoot strangers |
| Afraid, afraid to shoot strangers |
| Afraid, afraid to shoot strangers |
| Afraid, afraid to shoot strangers |
| Afraid, afraid to shoot strangers |
| Afraid, afraid to shoot strangers |
| Afraid to shoot strangers |
| Afraid to shoot strangers |
| Afraid to shoot strangers |
| Afraid to shoot strangers |

| Honey it's getting close to midnight, and all the myths are still in town |
| True love and lipstick on your linen, bite the pillow make no sound |
| If there's some living to be done, before your life becomes your tomb |
| You'd better know that I'm the one, so unchain your back door and invite me around |
| Bring me your daughter, bring me your daughter to the slaughter |
| Let her go, let her go, let her go |
| Bring me your daughter, bring me your daughter to the slaughter |
| Let her go, let her go, let her go, let her go |
| Honey it's getting close to daybreak, the sun is creeping in the sky |
| No patent remedies for heartache, just empty words and humble pie |
| So get down on your knees honey, assume an attitude |
| You just pray that I'll be waiting, 'cos you know I'm coming soon |
| Bring me your daughter, bring me your daughter to the slaughter |
| Let her go, let her go, let her go |
| Bring me your daughter, bring me your daughter to the slaughter |
| Let her go, let her go, let her go |
| So pick up your foolish pride, no going back |
| No where no way no place to hide |
| Bring me your daughter, bring me your daughter, bring me your daughter |
| Bring me your daughter, bring me your daughter, bring me your daughter to the slaughter |
| Bring me your daughter, fetch your daughter |
| Bring me your daughter, fetch your daughter |
| Bring me your daughter, fetch your daughter |
| To the slaughter |
| Bring me your daughter, bring me your daughter to the slaughter |
| Let her go, let her go, let her go |
| Bring me your daughter, bring me your daughter to the slaughter |
| Let her go, let her go, let her go |
| Bring me your daughter, bring me your daughter to the slaughter |
| Let her go, let her go, let her go |
| Let her go, let her go, let her go |
| I'm coming to get ya |

(Harris) |
| Can't understand what is happening to me, this isn't real this is only a dream |
| But I never have felt no I have never felt this way before |
| I'm looking down on my body below, I lie asleep in the midst of a dream |
| Is it now could it be the Angel of Death has come for me |
| I can't believe that really my time has come, I don't feel ready there's so much left undone |
| And it's my soul and I'm not gonna let it get away |
| Heaven can wait, Heaven can wait |
| Heaven can wait, Heaven can wait |
| 'Til another day |
| I have a lust for the Earth below, and Hell itself is my only foe |
| 'Cause I've no fear of dying, I'll go when I'm good and ready |
| I snatch a glimpse of the lights eternal rays, I see a tunnel I stand amazed |
| At all of the people standing there in front of me |
| Into the paths of rightness I'll be led, is this the place where the living join the dead |
| I wish I knew this was only just a nightmare |
| Heaven can wait, Heaven can wait |
| Heaven can wait, Heaven can wait |
| 'Till another day |
| Take my hand I'll lead you to the promised land |
| Take my hand I'll give you immortality |
| Eternal youth I'll take you to the other side |
| To see the truth, the path for you is decided |
| My body tingles I feel so strange, I feel so tired I feel so drained |
| And I'm wondering if I'll ever be the same again |
| Is this is in limbo or Heaven or Hell, maybe I'm going down there as well |
| I can't accept my soul will drift forever, I feel myself floating back down to Earth |
| So could this be the hour of my rebirth |
| Or have I died or will I wake from dreaming |
| Heaven can wait, Heaven can wait |
| Heaven can wait, Heaven can wait |
| 'Till another day |
|
(Harris) |
| Feel the sweat break on my brow |
| Is it me or is it shadows that are dancing on the walls |
| Is this a dream or is it mow |
| Is this a vision or normality I see before my eyes |
| I wonder why I wonder how |
| That it seems the powers getting stronger every day |
| I feel a strength an inner fire |
| But I'm scared I won't be able to control it anymore |
| There's a time to live and a time to die |
| When it's time to meet the maker |
| There's a time to live but isn't strange |
| That as soon as you're born you're dying |
| There's a time to live and there's a time to die |
| When it's time to meet the maker |
| There's a time to live but isn't it strange |
| That as soon as you're born you're dying |
| Just by looking through your eyes |
| He could see the future penetrating right in through your mind |
| See the truth and see your lies |
| But for all his power couldn't foresee his own demise |
| There's a time to live and a time to die |
| When it's time to meet the maker |
| There's a time to live but isn't it strange |
| That as soon as you're born you're dying |
| There's a time to live and a time to die |
| When it's time to meet the maker |
| There's a time to live but isn't it strange |
| That as soon as you're born you're dying... |
| ...and reborn again |

| I am a man who walks alone, and when I'm walking a dark road |
| At night, or strolling through the park |
| When the light begins to change, I sometimes feel a little strange |
| A little anxious when it's dark |
| Fear of the dark, fear of the dark |
| I have a constant fear that something's always near |
| Fear of the dark, fear of the dark |
| I have a phobia that someone's always there |
| Have you run your fingers down the wall, and have you felt your neck skin crawl |
| When you're searching for the light |
| Sometimes when you're scared to take a look, at the corner of the room |
| You've sensed that something's watching you |
| Fear of the dark, fear of the dark |
| I have a constant fear that something's always near |
| Fear of the dark, fear of the dark |
| I have a phobia that someone's always there |
| Have you ever been alone at night, thought you heard footsteps behind |
| And turned around and no-one's there |
| And as you quicken up your pace, you find it hard to look again |
| Because you're sure there's someone there |
| Fear of the dark, fear of the dark |
| I have a constant fear that something's always near |
| Fear of the dark, fear of the dark |
| I have a phobia that someone's always there |
| Fear of the dark, fear of the dark |
| Fear of the dark, fear of the dark |
| Fear of the dark, fear of the dark |
| Fear of the dark, fear of the dark |
| Watching horror films the night before, debating witches and folklore |
| The unknown troubles on your mind |
| Maybe your mind is playing tricks, you sense and suddenly eyes fix |
| On dancing shadows from behind |
| Fear of the dark, fear of the dark |
| I have a constant fear that something's always near |
| Fear of the dark, fear of the dark |
| I have a phobia that someone's always there |
| Fear of the dark, fear of the dark |
| I have a constant fear that something's always near |
| Fear of the dark, fear of the dark |
| I have a phobia that someone's always there |
| When I'm walking a dark road |
| I am a man who walks alone |
