Iron Maiden - These Colours Don't Run

It's the same in every country
When you say you're leaving
Left behind the loved ones
Waiting silent in the hall
Where you're going lies adventure
others only dream of
Red and green light this is real
and so you go to war

For the passion, for the glory
For the memories, for the money
You're a soldier, for your country
What's the difference, all the same

Far away from the land of our birth
We fly a flag in some foreign earth
We sailed away like our fathers before
These colours don't run, from a cold bloody war

There is no one that will save you
Going down in flames
No surrender certain death you
Look it in the eye
On the shores of tyranny you
Lonely unmarked graves

Crush the human wave
Paying for my freedom, with your
Lonely unmarked graves

For the passion, for the glory
For the memories, for the money
You're a soldier, for your country
What's the difference, all the same

Far away from the land of our birth
We fly a flag in some foreign earth
We sailed away like our fathers before
These colours don't run, from a cold bloody war

Iron Maiden - Days Of Future Past

A war in heaven in god's rage
He put me in this burning cage
Holy fury locks me in
Imprisoned by my deadly sin

Every hour the shadow king
Wonders what his clock will bring
I've lived and loved and that's for sure
My fatal quest forever more

The days of future past to wander on the shore
A king without a queen to die for evermore

To wander in the wasteland
Immortal to the end
Waiting for the judgement
But the judgement never ends

Once crucified you forgave it all
But my own life condemned to fall
Where's the glory in your name
My twisted soul still burns in flame

Hark you angels hear my call
Father witness to my fall
Between the lines of sin and pain
I walk the earth now doomed again

The days of future past to wander on the shore
A king without a queen to die for evermore

To wander in the wasteland
Immortal to the end
Waiting for the judgement
But the judgement never ends

The days of future past to wander on the shore
A king without a queen to die for evermore

To wander in the wasteland
Immortal to the end
Waiting for the judgement
But the judgement never ends

The days of future past to wander on the shore
A king without a queen to die for evermore

To wander in the wasteland
Immortal to the end
Waiting for the judgement
But the judgement never ends

Iron Maiden - Darkest Hour

We buried our sons, we turned and fled
No growing old, the glorious dead
But we came back because one man said
Now on the beaches the blood runs red

I faced them down, the only one
I stood alone and warned the day would come
But they were wrong, appeasers every one
And not for the last time, we all stand alone

I watch the sun move away as I embrace the night
And my black dog has its day for six long years you shall not pass
Barbarians at the gates, we will overcome

Here I stand in a serenade of glory
Naked by the throne of kings
You sowed the wind and now you reaped
The whirlwind before the dawn
The darkest hour
The darkest hour

To blaze in glory like a dying sun
One last burning giant till Jupiter moves on
Turn the ploughshares into swords
You sons of Albion awake defend this sacred land

Here I stand in a serenade of glory
Naked by the throne of kings
You sowed the wind and now you reaped the whirlwind
Before the dawn the darkest hour
The darkest hour

Here I stand in a serenade of glory
Naked by the throne of kings
You sowed the wind and now you reaped the whirlwind
Before the dawn the darkest hour

Here I stand in a serenade of glory
Naked by the throne of kings
You sowed the wind and now you reaped the whirlwind
Before the dawn the darkest hour
Before the dawn the darkest hour

Iron Maiden - Lost In A Lost World

All is not it seems to be on the outside
Sometimes what appears to be is a show
What shows in the face is only a mirror
We all have some better places to go

We don't know just what we have 'til we've lost it
Until that time comes and know that it's gone
So hard to say things that we should have uttered long ago
Tear myself away from thoughts in my head

The people worshiping the sun
And all the children point up to the sky
They see the eagle as it floats on the wind
And they follow with their spirits high

Buffalo roam on the plain
We walk in to the flames but dance for rain
The hallowed dead in sacred ground and the elders
And we wash away their sins for them

Feel the spirits of the old ones standing proud upon their race
And the testament to ancestors ~ that are never to retrace
Burn the flame of innocence ~ as they ride into the sun
Thinking now of our forefathers that are lying dead upon
Holy ground and sacred earth now
Revisit stolen youth

Lost in a lost world
Buried on sacred ground
Lost in a lost world
Lying on sacred ground...

Lost in a lost world
Buried on sacred ground
Lost in a lost world
Lying on sacred ground...

Lost in a lost world
Standing on sacred ground
Lost in a lost world
Lying on sacred ground...

Will we ever heal our old wounds
Like forever darkness worn
Fighting for their lives again
So come on now don't be afraid

This is where destiny lies
Just to let us breathe again
Put upon this earth to wander
And to walk ~ forever lost

With the ashes of our enemies
To live among our ghosts
Of our past fear nothing
Life is but a better path to joy

Nowhere to go nowhere to run
Our whole nation overrun
Itself existence under threat
And soon will be none of us left

Remember names of all our dead now
In enemies that fled
Reaching for our sky forever free
A sadness that is proud

As the clouds all drift away now
Until we meet again

Iron Maiden - Death Of The Celts

The road it winds uphill all the way
Ride to glory on this day
Remember now to do him so proud
In God we trust, cry it out loud

Redeem my salve of winning ways
Remember all the darkest days
Of that I know will see me tread
Walketh upon the field of the dead

The burden of blood, the breaketh of bone
The battlefield now I make it my own
The glory of the morning we make
Praying the rose is still awake

Lord above, my spirit says
Death is not proud, no more, no less
Power of my soul will be free
Deliver us on to victory

Wither a pain that's almost a joy
Wander there, my heart will destroy
Dreaming of days of our youth again
Strangely, no wonder memories remain
Pour thy scorn upon the realm
Pity me none at the gates of our hell
For I am but a messenger one
Sent to do reckoning, what must be done

Praying to our wretched doom
Liberty, freedom, maybe death looms
Wishing upon a fair display
Hoping our cause done, faithfully

Wayward thunder over rain
Giving me time to think again
Send to their graves on this day
Silent where the battle dead lay

Vengeance is for all who lay dead
I have no fear, my body has bled
I will live on in rebirth again
Come to me now, embrace it my friend

Spirits cry for a god from the grave
In darkness, fortune favours the brave

Dying, a warrior Celt has no fear
Immortal, for he will live evermore

Dying, a warrior Celt has no fear
Immortal, for he will live evermore

Think I am, that I'm almost there
Following now the depths of despair
Beyond the light, darkness will fall
Coming to take the life from us all

Following now where god can't explain
Bidding farewell, a lifeline again
Following those who came from hell
Came to witness the death of the Celts

Iron Maiden - The Age Of Innocence

I can't be compromising in my thoughts no more
I can't prevent the times my anger fills my heart
I can't be sympathizing with a new lost cause
I feel I've lost my patience with the world and all

And all the politicians and their hollow promises
And all the lies, deceit and shame that goes with it
The working man pays everything for their mistakes
And with his life too if there was to be a war

So we only get one chance, can we take it?
And we only get one life, can't exchange it
Can we hold on to what we have, don't replace it
The age of innocence is fading like an old dream

A life of petty crime gets punished with a holiday
The victims' mind are scarred for life most everyday
Assailants know just how much further they can go
They know the laws are soft, conviction chances low

So we only get one chance, can we take it?
And we only get one life, can't exchange it
Can we hold on to what we have, don't replace it
The age of innocence is fading like an old dream

You can't protect yourselves even in your own home
For fear of vigilante cries, the victims wipe their eyes
So now the criminal they launch right in our face
Judicial system lets them do it, a disgrace

Despondent public worries, where it will all end?
We can't protect ourselves, our kids from the crime trend
We cannot even warn each other of evil in our midst
They have more rights than us, you cannot call that just

So we only get one chance, can we take it?
And we only get one life, can't exchange it
Can we hold on to what we have, don't replace it
The age of innocence is fading like an old dream

Iron Maiden - Children Of The Damned

He's walking like a small child
But watch his eyes burn you away
Black holes in his golden stare
God knows he wants to go home
Children of The Damned

He's walking like a dead man
If he had lived he would crucified us all
Now he's standing on his last step
He thought oblivion well it beckons us all
Children of The Damned
Children of The Damned
Children of The Damned

Now it's burning his hands he's turning to laugh
Smiles as the flame sears his flesh
Melting his face screaming in pain
Peeling the skin from his eyes
Watch him die according to plan
He's dust on ground what did we learn

You're Children of The Damned
Your back's against the wall
You turn into the light
You're burning in the night
You're Children of The Damned
Like candles watch them burn
Burning in the light
You'll burn again tonight
Children of The Damned

Iron Maiden - The Time Machine

Put to the sword by an impish whim
Follow me now to a place we begin

Wrought with no anger, wrought with no fear
Devilish children playing here

Hidden in silence, below barren waste
Confusion hunger, am I still awake?

Have I ever told you about my time machine
Sit you down I'll tell you everywhere I've been

I have lived a long life, life extraordinaire
Let me tell you about it, let me take you there

Does it really matter, it's all in the mind
Let me tell you about it, listen what you'll find

I am not a preacher, I am but a man
You cannot imagine what I've seen and done

I have lived a long life, I have seen the world
I could tell you stories, hair will stand on end

Stand among the steeples, stand upon the walls
I have seen a god's face, I have no disgrace

I have seen the gods cry, howling in the wind
Where do I get started, when can I begin

I am not a preacher, I am but a man
You cannot imagine what I've seen and done

Sleep with a light that is dark to my eyes
Father and sons give me all of your lies

The brutal truth, that is never a lie
Full moon is out, as you look to the sky

I am not a preacher, I am but a man
You cannot imagine what I've seen and done

Open your heart and I'll open your soul
Even in quieter moments I know

I am not a preacher, I am but a man
You cannot imagine what I've seen and done

Eerie collection, darkness is there, wedded to danger
Betrothed to despair

Iron Maiden - Hell On Earth

Beginning of a sunrise bores a big hole in the sky
Not to reason why that
Armed children are in this world
And fighting in the name of god's way
Mourning bleak and utter waste
The vanity of the world is assured now

Prey upon the weak no more
The spirits of those who are gone
Propaganda of the battles
That are lost or won

And count your blessings still alive
Of those who managed to survive
Inside oblivion of that hell on earth

All you have been, all you have seen
Lost in somewhere in your dreams

How the angels they have fallen
All is nothing what it seems

In the voices that you hear now
In the voices in your head
Now are thinking of a lifetime
You can never feel again

I wish I could go back
Will never be the same again
Bled for all upon this hell on earth

And when I leave this world
I hope to see you all again
On the other side of hell on earth

Upon the eyes of good
I'm following the light again
In between the dark of hell on earth

On the other side, I'll see again heaven
So far away from this hell on earth

You dance on the graves who bled for us
Do you really think they'll come for us
Knowledge and virtue taken by lust
Live on the edge of those that you trust

You think that you have all the answers for all
In your arrogant way only one way to fall
Burning a lamp that is fire in your hands
Taking you further from these lands

Love in anger, life in danger
Love in anger, life in danger
Love in anger, life in danger
Love in anger, life in danger

Iron Maiden - Mother Russia

Mother Russia, how are you sleeping?

Middle winter cold winds blow

From the trees the snowflakes drifting

Swirling 'round like ghosts in the snow

Mother Russia, poetry majestic

Tells the tale of a great empire

Turning 'round, the old man ponders

Reminiscing an age gone by

Mother Russia, dance of the tsars

Hold up your heads, be proud of what you are

Now it has come, freedom at last

Turning the tides of history and your past

Mother Russia, dance of the tsars

Hold up your heads, remember who you are

Can you release the anger, the grief?

Can you be happy now your people are free?

Iron Maiden - Can I Play With Madness

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 me

Give me the strength to hold my head up

Spit back in their face

Don't need no key to unlock this 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 at me and laughed at me (ha ha)

He said:

Can I play with madness?

He said you're blind, too blind to see

Said you're 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 this 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 "You wanna know the truth son?

Lord, I'll tell you the truth

Your soul's gonna burn in a 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 me and laughed at me (ha ha)

He said:

Can I play with madness?

He said you're blind, too blind to see

Said you're too blind to see

"Listen to me," said the prophet

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 me and laughed at me (ha ha)

He said:

Can I play with madness?

He said you're blind, too blind to see

Said you're too blind to see

Can I play with madness?

Iron Maiden - The Evil That Men Do

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

And I will pray for her, I will call her name out loud

I would bleed for her, if I could only see her now

Living on a razor's edge

Balancing on a ledge

Living on a razor's edge, oh

Balancing on a ledge, oh

Balancing on a ledge, oh

Living on a razor's edge

Balancing on a ledge, you know, you know

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

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

Don't you cry for me, beyond is where I learn

Living on a razor's edge

Balancing on a ledge

Living on a razor's edge

You know, you know

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 razor's edge

Balancing on a ledge

Living on a razor's edge

You know, you know

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

Iron Maiden - Senjutsu

Beat the warning the sound of the drums
Set the beacons afire for them all
Call to arms all the men far and wide
Have to fight now for dynasty pride at stake

The invaders repel from the north
Keep out nomads who come from the plains
Northern grasslands awash with them all
Blocking the tribes that invade from the south of us

Rallying round to the call
We can hear far away are the sound of distant drums
And they need everyone at the wall
So the day of our judgement has now begun to fall

Survive on ledges bitten in dust
Knowledge and virtue is stricken by lust
Really believe that they're coming for us
Dancing on graves
Of those who bled for us

Driven away by our endless desire
Defeat by anger and our greatest fire
Attack again and try as they might
Hold them again and see them running

Rallying round to the call
We can hear far away are the sound of distant drums
And they need everyone at the wall
So the day of our judgement has now begun to fall

Hear them coming - Ready now we wait
Must be steadfast - Must be patient

Must believe in - That we can win
What will save us - The great wall

Now under siege have the real strength to hold them now
Have to believe that we can repel them
Faith in the years our ancestors taught us
Have the belief that we can protect the wall

Try if they can we will overthrow them
Fight to the last they can never own us
Battle of wills we'll fight to the last man
Honour our dead so they never fought in vain

Hold our fortune - Avenge the merciful
Hold the great wall - Never fall again

Arrows falling - Dark oblivion - Live in spirit - Live to tell our sons

Rallying round to the call
We can hear far away are the sound of distant drums
And they need everyone at the wall
So the day of our judgement has now begun to fall

Iron Maiden - The Parchment

When the moon will rise again
Until we read the Parthian skin
Broken fears warring days are here again

'Fore we all to dust descend
Heaven knows when life will end
God to know in the mire, put out the fire

Know there is a cross to bear
In your primal quest of fear
No quarter now is given no less

Aslumber was my main ideal
Asunder did my spirit steal
Sceptred race uttered words in disgrace

Sweet revenge will be ours
Vengeance of a shaken world
Just remember that patience is no sin

And to find another way
Live to breathe another day
Lord of light in the darkness, our guide

In a tempest never shaken
Edge of doom is not mistaken
Countenance is not a sin
Gallant king, we bow to him

Fierce as wolf with a leopard skin
Dark and bitter deep within
Invader punished with his life
Vanquished in the morning

Sea of blood in light divine
Unholy reverence enjoyed
Intoxicated with their hell
Man immortal sickness dwell

Savage beasts troops engage
Assembled here to butcher blades

Smoke has darkened in the air
Smell of death and deep despair

Wilderness a tyrant dream
Sell your soul not give them power
Slay upon imperial crown
Witness now the witching hour

Bound himself to oath and king
Such loyalty a shameless thing
Youth of agony still burn
Shedding parents blood

Never say a prayer to me
For this crime and treachery
Drinking from your cup of wisdom true
Many men will follow you

Now an army is raised
And our gods, they be praised
Death is but a gilted edge
Shall no more than we will pledge

Hear the cry we are ready to believe

The prodigal has returned
Give us our own revenge
With the power he learned
We will burn the same again

A betrayal of angels in a foreign land
A revenge for the merciful destiny at hand

For all those who have written
In the sand will be told
That the same will happen searching for gold

Like a fire in the sky
I can feel strength return
Heading for afterlife, meet me there

Iron Maiden - Caught Somewhere In Time

If you had the time to lose

An open mind and time to choose

Would you care to take a look

Or can you read me like a book

Time is always on my side

Time is always on my side

Can I tempt you come with me

Be Devil may care fulfill your dream

If I said I'd take you there

Would you go would you be scared

Time is always on my side

Time is always on my side

Don't be afraid you're safe with me

Safe as any soul can be... honestly

Just let yourself go

Caught somewhere in time

Caught somewhere in time

Caught somewhere in time... oh oh

Caught somewhere in time

Caught somewhere in time

Caught somewhere in time... oh oh

Like a wolf in sheep's clothing

You try to hide your deepest sins

Of all the things that you've done wrong

And I know where you belong

Time is always on my side

Time is always on my side

Make you an offer you can't refuse

You've only got your soul to lose...

Eternally... let yourself go!

Caught somewhere in time

Caught somewhere in time

Caught somewhere in time... oh oh

Caught somewhere in time

Caught somewhere in time

Caught now in two minds!

Iron Maiden - The Longest Day

In the gloom, the gathering storm abates
In the ships, gimlet eyes await
The call to arms to hammer at the gates
To blow them wide, throw evil to its fate

All summers long, the drills to build the machine
To turn men from flesh and blood to steel
From paper soldiers to bodies on the beach
From summer sands to Armageddon's reach

Overlord, your master, not your God
The enemy coast dawning grey with scud
These wretched souls, puking, shaking fear
To take a bullet for those who sent them here

The world's alight
The cliffs erupt in flame
No escape, remorseless shrapnel rains
Drowning men, no chance for a warrior's fate
A choking death, enter Hell's gates

Sliding we go
Only fear on our side
To the edge of the wire
And we rush with the tide
Oh, the water is red
With the blood of the dead
But I'm still alive
Pray to God I survive

How long, on this longest day
'Til we finally make it through?
How long, on this longest day
'Til we finally make it through?
How long, on this longest day
'Til we finally make it through?
How long, on this longest day
'Til we finally make it through?

The rising dead, faces bloated, torn
They are relieved, the living wait their turn
Your number's up, the bullet's got your name
You still go on to Hell and back again

Valhalla waits
Valkyries rise and fall
The warrior tombs lie open for us all
A ghostly hand reaches through the veil
Blood and sand, we will prevail

Sliding we go
Only fear on our side
To the edge of the wire
And we rush with the tide
Oh, the water is red
With the blood of the dead
But I'm still alive
Pray to God I survive

How long, on this longest day
'Til we finally make it through?
How long, on this longest day
'Til we finally make it through?
How long, on this longest day
'Til we finally make it through?
How long, on this longest day
'Til we finally make it through?

How long, on this longest day
'Til we finally make it through?
How long, on this longest day
'Til we finally make it through?
How long, on this longest day
'Til we finally make it through?
How long, on this longest day
'Til we finally make it through?

Iron Maiden - The Writing On The Wall

Across a painted desert lies a train of vagabonds
All that's left of what we were it's what we have become
Once our empires glorious but now the empire's gone
The dead gave us the time to live and now our time is done

Now we are victorious, we've become our slaves
A land of hope and glory building graveyards for the brave

Have you seen the writing on the wall?
Have you seen that writing?
Can you see the riders on the storm?
Can you see them riding?
Can you see them riding?

Holding on to fury is that all we ever know
Ignorance our judge and jury all we've got to show
From Hollywood to Babylon ~ holy war to kingdom come
On a trail of dust and ashes ~ when the burning sky is done
A tide of change is coming and that is what you fear
The earthquake is a coming but you don't want to hear
You're just too blind to see

Have you seen the writing on the wall?
Have you seen that writing?
Can you see the riders on the storm?
Can you see them riding?
Can you see them riding, riding next to you?

Have you seen the writing on the wall?
Have you seen that writing?
Can you see the riders on the storm?
Can you see them riding?

Have you seen the writing on the wall?
Have you seen that writing?
Can you see the riders on the storm?
Can you see them riding?
Can you see them riding, riding next to you?

Iron Maiden - Empire Of The Clouds

To ride the storm, to an empire of the clouds

To ride the storm, they climbed aboard their silver ghost

To ride the storm, to a kingdom that will come

To ride the storm, and damn the rest, oblivion

Royalty and dignitaries, brandy and cigars

Gray Lady, giant of the skies, you hold them in your arms

"The millionth chance," they laughed, "to take down His Majesty's craft."

"To India," they say, "magic carpet float away," an October fateful day

Mist is in the trees, stone sweats with the dew

The morning sunrise, red before the blue

Hanging at the mast, waiting for command

His majesty's airship, the R101

She's the biggest vessel built by man, a giant of the skies

For all you unbelievers, the Titanic fits inside

Drum roll tight, her canvas skin, silvered in the sun

Never tested with the fury, with a beating yet to come

The fury yet to come….

In the gathering gloom, the storm rising in the West

The Coxswain stared into the plunging weather glass

We must go now, we must take our chance with fate

We must go now, for a politician, he can't be late

The airship crew awake for thirty hours at full stretch,

But the ship is in their backbone, every sinew, every inch

She never flew at full speed, a trial never done

Her fragile outer cover, her Achilles would become

An Achilles yet to come...

Sailors of the sky, a hardened breed

Loyal to the king, and an airship creed

The engines drum, the telegraph sounds

Release the cords that bind us to the ground

Said the Coxswain, "Sir, she's heavy, she'll never make this flight."

Said the Captain, "Damn the cargo! We'll be on our way tonight."

Groundlings cheered in wonder, as she backed off from the mast

Baptizing them her water, from the ballast fore and aft

Now she slips into our past…

Fighting the wind as it rolls you,

Feeling the diesels that push you along

Watching the Channel below you,

Lower and lower, into the night

Lights are passing below you

Northern France, asleep in their beds

Storm is raging around you,

A million to one, that's what he said

Reaper standing beside her

With his scythe cuts to the bone

Panic to make a decision

Experienced men, asleep in their graves

Her cover is ripped and she's drowning

Rain is flooding into the hull

Bleeding to death and she's falling

Lifting gas is draining away

"We're down lads!" came the cry, bow plunging from the sky

Three thousand horses silent as the ship began to die

The flares to guide her path ignited at the last

The empire of the clouds, just ashes in our past

Just ashes at the last…

Here lie their dreams as I stand in the sun

On the ground where they built, and the engines did run

To the moon and the stars, now what have we done?

Oh, the dreamers may die, but the dreams live on

Dreams live on

Dreams live on

Now a shadow on a hill, the angel of the east

The empire of the clouds may rest in peace

And in a country churchyard, laid head to the mast

Eight and forty souls, who came to die in France…

Iron Maiden - If Eternity Should Fail

Here is the soul of a man

Here in this place for the taking

Clothed in white, stand in the light

Here is the soul of a man

Time to speak with the shaman again

Conjure the jester again

Black dog in the ruins is howling my name

So here is the soul of a man

When the world was virgin

Before the coming of men

ust a solar witness

The beginning of the end

From a world of magma

To a cold rock face

The ascent of madness

And a human race

We are strange believers, all of us

There are stranger truths, immortal lust

We rise from slumber, he calls our name

Recalls our number, abide with pain

Reef in a sail at the edge of the world

If eternity should fail

Waiting in line for the ending of time

If eternity should fail

Reef in a sail at the edge of the world

If eternity should fail

Waiting in line for the ending of time

If eternity should fail

To God's illusion, which I recall

Was our delusion

Before the fall

The angels come and the angels go

But the lord of light shining below

Eternal darkness beyond the stars

We think our wisdom will get that far

At the master's table, the table's bare

No land of plenty, devastation, despair

Reef in a sail at the edge of the world

If eternity should fail

Waiting in line for the ending of time

If eternity should fail

Reef in a sail at the edge of the world

If eternity should fail

Waiting in line for the ending of time

If eternity should fail

Reef in a sail at the edge of the world

If eternity should fail

Waiting in line for the ending of time

If eternity should fail

Reef in a sail at the edge of the world

If eternity should fail

Waiting in line for the ending of time

If eternity should fail

Reef in a sail at the edge of the world

If eternity should fail

Waiting in line for the ending of time

If eternity should fail

Reef in a sail at the edge of the world

If eternity should fail

Waiting in line for the ending of time

If eternity should fail

Good day, my name is Necropolis

I am formed of the dead

I am the harvester of the soul meat

And I suck the lives from around my bed

My own two sons I gave them breath

And I filled their living corpses with my bile

What humanity I knew I have long forgotten

For me eternity is nothing

But a short while

Iron Maiden - Judgement Of Heaven

A lonely cry for help preaching out for help to anyone

A silent prayer to god to help you on your way

I've been depressed so long

It's hard to remember when I was happy

I've felt like suicide a dozen times or more

But that's the easy way, that's the selfish way

The hardest part is to get on with your life

You're searching in the dark clutching at straws to find a way

You take the tarot cards and throw them to the wind

You question your beliefs your inner thoughts,

Your whole existence

And if there is a good then answer if you will

And tell me of my fate, tell me of my place

Tell me if I'll ever rest in peace

If you could live your life again

Would you change a thing or leave it all the same

If you had the chance again

Would you change the thing at all

When you look back at your past

Can you say that you are proud of what you've done

Are there times when you believe

That the right you thought was wrong

All of my life I have believed

Judgement of heaven is waiting for me

All of my life now I have believed

Judgement of heaven awaits for me...
