Iron Maiden - Starblind

Take my eyes the things I've seen in this world coming to an end

My reflection fades, I'm weary of these earthly bones and skin

You may pass through me and leave no trace, I have no mortal face

Solar winds are whispering, you may hear me call

We can shed our skins and swim into the darkened void beyond

We will dance among the world that orbit stars that aren't our sun

All the oxygen that trapped us in a carbon spider's web

Solar winds are whispering, you may hear the sirens of the dead

Left the elders to their parley meant to satisfy our lust

Leaving Damocles still hanging over all their promised trust

Walk away from freedoms offered by their jailers in their cage

Step into the light startripping over mortals in their rage

Starblind - with sun

The stars are one

We are the light that brings the end of night

Starblind - with sun

The stars are one

We are, with the Goddess of the sun tonight

The preacher loses face with Christ

Religion's cruel device is gone

Empty flesh and hallow bones

Make pacts of love but die alone

The crucible of pain will forge

The blanks of sin, begin again

You are free to choose a life to live

Or one that's left to lose

Virgins in the teeth of God are meat and drink to feed the damned

You may pass through me and I will feel the life that you live less

Step into my light startripping, we will rage against the night

Walk away from comfort offered by your citizens of death

Starblind - with sun

The stars are one

We are the light that brings the end of night

Starblind - with sun

The stars are one

We're one with the goddess of the sun tonight

Take my eyes for what I've seen

I will give my sight to you

You are free to choose whatever

Life to live or life to lose

Whatever God, you know

He knows you, better than you believe

In your once and future grave

You'll fall endlessly deceived

Look into our face reflected in the moon glow in your eyes

Remember you can choose to look but not to see and waste your hours

You believe you have the time but I tell you your time is short

See your past and future all the same and it cannot be bought

Starblind - with sun

The stars are one

We are the light that brings the end of night

Starblind - with sun

The stars are one

We're one with the Goddess of the sun tonight

Take my eyes for what I've seen

I will give my sight to you

You are free to choose whatever

Life to live or life to lose

Whatever God you know

He knows you better than you believe

In your once and future grave

You'll fall endlessly deceived

The preacher loses face with Christ

Religion's cruel device is gone

Empty flesh and hollow bones

Make pacts of love but die alone

The crucible of pain will forge

The blanks of sin, begin again

You are free to choose a life to live

Or one that's left to lose

Iron Maiden - When The Wild Wind Blows

Have you heard what they said on the news today?
Have you heard what is coming to us all?
That the world as we know it will be coming to an end
Have you heard, have you heard?

He sees them in the distance where the darkened clouds roll
He could feel tension in the atmosphere
He would look in the mirror, see an old man now
Does it matter they survive somehow?

They said there's nothing can be done about the situation
They said there's nothing you can do at all
To sit and wait around for something to occur
Did you know, did you know?

As he stares across the garden looking at the meadows
And wonders if they'll ever grow again
The desperation of the situation getting graver
Getting ready when the wild wind blows

Have you seen what they said on the news today?
Have you heard what they said about us all?
Do you know what is happening to just every one of us
Have you heard, have you heard?

There will be a catastrophe the like we've never seen
There will be something that will light the sky
That the world as we know it, it will never be the same
Did you know, did you know?

He carries everything into the shelter not a fuss
Getting ready when the moment comes
He has enough supplies to last them for a year or two
Good to have because you never know

They tell us nothing that we don't already know about
They tell us nothing that is real at all
They only fill us with the stuff that they want
Did you know, did you know?

He's nearly finished with the preparations for the day
He's getting tired that'll do for now
They are preparing for the very worst to come to them
Getting ready when the wild wind blows

He sees the picture on the wall, it's falling down upside down
He sees a teardrop from his wife roll down her face, saying grace
Remember times they had, they flash right through his mind left behind
Of a lifetime spent together long ago will be gone

They've been preparing for some weeks now
For when the crucial moment comes
To take their refuge in the shelter
Let them prepare for what will come

They make a tea and sit there waiting
They're in the shelter feeling snug
Not long to wait for absolution
Don't make a fuss; just sit and wait

Can't believe all the lying,
All the screens are denying
That the moments of truth have begun

Can't you see it on the TV?
Don't believe them in the least bit
Now the days of our ending have begun

Say a prayer when it's all over
Survivors unite all as one
Got to try and help each other
Got the will to overcome

I can't believe all the lying,
All the screens are denying
That the moments of truth have begun

Can't you see it on the TV?
Don't believe them in the least bit
Now the days of our ending have begun

When they found them, had their arms wrapped around each other
Their tins of poison laying near by their clothes
The day they both mistook an earthquake for the fallout,
Just another when the wild wind blows...

Iron Maiden - The Alchemist

Stranger than the comet as it streaks across the sky
Stranger than the truth I know before my open eyes
I have dealt in mysteries and trickery, of light to entertain
Looked into the abyss, called it by its name

I have plundered time itself, put the world inside it
And the mysteries, day and night, divide it
A plague of wonders, on your knees beside me
Know the secrets, you shall not deride us

My dreams of empire for my frozen queen
Will come to pass
Know me, the Magus
I am Dr. Dee
And this is my house

I am the master of the tides
I shame the mirror in my sight
What random music of the spheres across the years

Know this I will return to this land
Rebuild where the ruins did stand
Chain of the demons set free
Strange alchemy

Gather round the aimless and the feckless and the lame
Hear the master summon up the spirits by their names
I curse you Edward Kelly your betrayal for eternity is damned
Know you speak with demons you cannot command

Even as I looked into the glass then I was blinded
Burning by the Mortlake shore my house my books inside it
You have taken up my wife and lain beside her
Now the black rain on my house, the timbers burning

My dreams of empire for my frozen queen
Will come to pass
Know me, the Magus
I am Dr. Dee
And this was my house

I was the keeper of the books
I had the knowledge of the scrolls
But now through ignorance and fear
I cast a shadow through the years

Know this I will return to this land
Rebuild where the ruins did stand
Chain of the demons set free
Strange alchemy

Know this
I will return to this land
Rebuild where the ruins did stand
Chain of the demons set free
Strange alchemy

Know this
I will return to this land
Rebuild where the ruins did stand
Restore the knowledge memory
Strange alchemy

Iron Maiden - Coming Home

When I stand before you shining in the early morning sun
When I feel the engines roar and I think of what we've done
Oh the bittersweet reflection as we kiss the earth goodbye
As the waves and echoes of the towns become the ghosts of time

Over borders that divide the earthbound tribes
No creed and no religion just a hundred winged souls
We will ride this thunderbird, silver shadows on the earth
A thousand leagues away, our land of birth

To Albion's land
Coming home when I see the runway lights
In the misty dawn the night is fading fast
Coming home, far away as their vapor trails align
Where I've been tonight, you know I will not stay

Curving on the edge of daylight til it slips into the void
Waited in the long night, dreaming til the sun is born again
Stretched the fingers of my hand, covered countries with my span
Just a lonely satellite, speck of dust and cosmic sand

Over borders that divide the earthbound tribes
Through the dark Atlantic; over mounting stormy waves
We will ride this thunderbird, silver shadows on the earth
A thousand leagues away, our land of birth

To Albion's land
Coming home when I see the runway lights
In the misty dawn the night is fading fast
Coming home, far away as their vapor trails align
Where I've been tonight, you know I will not stay

To Albion's land
Coming home when I see the runway lights
In the misty dawn the night is fading fast
Coming home, far away as their vapor trails align
Where I've been tonight, you know I will not stay

Coming home, far away when I see the runway lights
In the misty dawn the night is fading fast
Coming home, far away as their vapor trails align
Where I've been tonight, you know I will not stay
