2 A.M.
Iron Maiden
Composição: Blaze Bayley, Janick Gers, Steve Harris

I get in from work at 2 a. m.
And sit down with a beer
Turn on late night t.v.
And then wonder why i'm here
It's meaningless and trivial
And it washes over me
And once again i wonder
Is this all there is for me

Here i am again
Look at me again
Here i am again
On my own
Trying hard to see
What there is for me
Here i am again
On my own

Life seems so pathetic
I wish i could leave it all behind
This canvas chair, this bed,
These walls that fall in on my mind
Hold on for something better
That just drags you through the dirt
Do you just let go or carry on
And try to take the hurt

Here i am again
Look at me again
Here i am again
On my own
Trying hard to see
What there is for me
Here i am again
On my own!

2 Minutes To Midnight
Iron Maiden
Composição: Adrian Smith, Bruce Dickinson

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 breed or the Demon's seed,
The glamour, the fortune, the pain,
Go to war again, blood is freedom's stain,
Don't you pray for 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 feed it with our babies.

The killer's breed or the Demon's seed,
The glamour, the fortune, the pain,
Go to war again, blood is freedom's stain,
Don't you pray for my soul anymore.

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.

The killer's breed or the Demon's seed,
The glamour, the fortune, the pain,
Go to war again, blood is freedom's stain,
Don't you pray for my soul anymore.

2 minutes to midnight,
The hands that threaten doom.
2 minutes to midnight,
To kill the unborn in the womb.
Midnight...Midnight...Midnight...is all night
Midnight...Midnight...Midnight...is all night.

22 Acacia Avenue
Iron Maiden
Composição: Steve Harris, Adrian Smith

If you're feeling down depressed and lonely
I know a place where we can go
22 acacia avenue meet a lady that I know
So if you're looking for a good time
And you're prepared to pay the price
Fifteen quid is all she asks for
Everybody's got their vice

If you're waiting for a long time for the rest to do their piece
You can tell her that you know me and you might even get it free
So any time you're down the east end don't you hesitate to go
You can take my honest word for it she'll teach you more than you can know

Charlotte can't you get out from all this madness
Can't you see it only brings you sadness
When you entertain your men don't know the risk of getting disease

Some day when you're reaching the age of forty
I bet you'll regret the days when you were laying
Nobody then will want to know
You won't have any beautiful wares to show any more

22, the avenue that's the place where we all go
You will find it's warm inside the red lights burning bright tonight

Charlotte isn't it time you stopped this mad life
Don't you ever think about the bad times
Why do you have to live this way
Do you enjoy your lay or is it the pay

Sometimes when your strolling down the avenue
The way you walk it make men think of having you
When you're walking down the street
Everybody stops and turns to stare at you

22, the avenue that's the place where we all go
You will find it's warm inside the red lights burning bright tonight

Beat her mistreat her do anything that you please
Bite her excite her make her get down on her knees
Abuse her misuse her she can take all that you've got
Caress her molest her she always does what you want

You're running away don't you know what you're doing
Can't you see it'll lead you to ruin
Charlotte you've taken your life and you've thrown it away
You believe that because what you're earning
Your life's good don't you know that you're hurting
All the people that love you don't cast them aside
All the men that are constantly drooling
It's no life for you stop all that screwing
You're packing your bags and you're coming with me

Afraid To Shoot Strangers
Iron Maiden
Composição: Steve Harris

Lying awake at night I wipe the sweat
from my brow
But it's not the fear 'cos
I'd rather go now

Trying to visualize 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 earth

Trying to justify to ourselves the
reasons to go
Should we live and let live
Forget or forgive

But how can we let them 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

Age Of Innocence
Iron Maiden
Composição: (dave Murray/steve Harris)

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, deciet 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 can only get one chance can we take it
And we only got 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 that can go
They know the laws are soft conviction chances low

So we can only get one chance can we take it
And we only got 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
Judical 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 can only get one chance can we take it
And we only got 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

The age of innocence is fading like an old dream

Alexander The Great
Iron Maiden
Composição: Steve Harris

"My son, ask for thyself another kingdom,
For that which I leave is too small for thee."

Near to the East, in a part of ancient Greece,
In an ancient land called Macedonia,
Was born a son to Philip of Macedon,
The legend his name was Alexander.

At the age of nineteen, he became the Macedon king,
And he swore to free all of Asia Minor,
By the Aegian Sea in 334 BC,
He utterly beat the armies of Persia.

Chorus:
Alexander the Great,
His name struck fear into hearts of men,
Alexander the Great,
Became a legend 'mongst mortal men.

King Darius the third, Defeated fled Persia,
The Scythians fell by the river Jaxartes,
Then Egypt fell to the Macedon king as well,
And he founded the city called Alexandria.

By the Tigris river, he met King Darius again,
And crushed him again in the battle of Arbela,
Entering Babylon and Susa, treasures he found,
Took Persepolis, the capital of Persia.

Chorus:
Alexander the Great,
His name struck fear into hearts of men,
Alexander the Great,
Became a god amongst mortal men.

A Phrygian King had bound a chariot yoke,
And Alexander cut the "Gordion knot",
And legend said that who untied the knot,
He would become the master of Asia.

Hellenism he spread far and wide,
The Macedonian learned mind,
Their culture was a western way of life,
He paved the way for Christianity.

Marching on, Marching on.

The battle weary marching side by side,
Alexander's army line by line,
They wouldn't follow him to India,
Tired of the combat, pain and the glory.

Chorus:
Alexander the Great,
His name struck fear into hearts of men,
Alexander the Great,
He died of fever in Babylon.

All in Your Mind
Iron Maiden
Composição: Stray

Look inside your head and find
And tell me now that it's all in your mind
Look inside your head and find
A way deep inside and it's all in your mind

It's all in your mind, it's all in your mind

(1:20 Â– Solo: Janick Gers)

Revolution, air pollution
Chairman Mao Tse Tung is in your mind (but he's dead now... he's not very well anyway!)
New day breaking, people hating
Love supreme, but it's all in your mind

It's all in your mind, it's all in your mind

(2:10 Â– Solo: Janick Gers)

Segregation, preservation
Politicians all are in your mind
Pewter Suta, kama sutra
Even Blankenheimer is in your mind

It's all in your mind, it's all in your mind

(3:45 Â– Solo: Janick Gers)

Another Life
Iron Maiden
Composição: Harris

As I lay here lying on my bed,
sweet voices come into my head.

but I' m so tired of living
I might as well end today

Back In The Village
Iron Maiden
Composição: Smith / Dickinson

Turn the spotlights on the people,
Switch the dial and eat the worm,
Take your chances, kill the engine,
Drop your bombs and let it burn.

White flags shot to ribbons,
The truce is black and burned,
Shellshock in the kitchen,
Tables overturned.

Back in the village again,
In the village,
I'm back in the village again.

Throwing dice now, rolling loaded,
I see sixes all the way.
In a black hole, and I'm spinning
As my wings get shot away.

Questions are a burden
And answers are a prison for oneself
Shellshock in the kitchen
Tables start to burn.

Back in the village again,
In the village,
I'm back in the village again.

No breaks on the inside,
Paper cats and burning barns,
Theres a fox among the chickens,
And a killer in the hounds.

Questions are a burden
And answers are a prison for oneself
Shellshock in the kitchen
Tables start to burn.

Back in the village again,
In the village,
I'm back in the village again.

But still we walk into the valley
And others try to kill the inner flame
We're burning brighter than before
I don't have a number, I'M A NAME!

Back in the village again,
In the village,
I'm back in the village again.

Back in the village again,
In the village,
I'm back in the village again.

Back in the village
I'm back in the village
I'm back in the village again.

Be Quick Or Be Dead
Iron Maiden
Composição: Bruce Dickinson/Janick Gers

Covered in sinners and dripping with guilt
Making you 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's pulling the strings...
I bet you won't fall 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 as you're alright
So pull yourself stupid and rob yourself blind.

Black Bart Blues
Iron Maiden
Composição: Harris/Dickinson

(diálogo)
[Bruce] 'What the fuck is that?'
[Nerd] 'Hi, guys, are you in a band or something? I mean it
would be so cool if you were in a band 'cos you're Driving a
big bus with band on the front of it'
[Bruce] 'Why don't you shut up and get on board will ya?'
[Nerd] 'Wow! I have it here you got a stereo and a microwave
And, and you got a beer, I'd like a Heineken if you've got
one' that's real cool, that's great, yeah!'
[Bruce] 'Would you like to see Black Bart?'
[Nerd] 'Who's Black Bart?'
[Bruce] 'Let me introduce you'

Black Bart's seen it
Black Bart knows
Black Bart's done it
The Black Bart blues
Suspended in suspension
Many evil nights in Tennessee, and elsewhere
We all got to try the Black Bart blues

Black Bart's truckin' ain't what it seems
Black Bart's lookin'
Don't know where she's been
Maybe she's an acrobat
Spends her evenings dancing on a pole
We all got to try the Black Bart blues
Black Bart tried most anything
Black Bart liked it but he couldn't sing
So he asked me to tell ya
Try it for yourself and you will see
We all got to try the Black Bart blues

[diálogo]
[Bruce] 'What did you do that for?'
[Nerd] 'I'm sorry, I just..., I guess I'm not used to...
[Bruce] 'Shut up and get on with it will you'

Black Bart's livin' across the ocean now
Black Bart's lookin' to come back somehow
So if you are a dancer,
You could dance his pole in May
That's a maypole

Black Bart's coming
Now Black Bart's gone
Black Bart did it so I wrote this song
Whatever and however,
In and out or several at a time mmm yes!
We all got to do the Black Bart blues
Here comes the guitar solo

We all got to try the Black Bart blues
Yowsa! Yowsa! Yowsa!

Blood Brothers
Iron Maiden
Composição: Harris

And if you're taking a walk through
the garden of life
What do you think you'd expect you
would see?
Just like a mirror reflecting the
moves of your life
And in the river reflections of me

Just for a second a glimpse of my
father I see
And in a movement he beckons to me
And in a moment the memories are all
that remain
And all the wounds are reopening again

We're blood brothers
We're blood brothers
We're blood brothers
We're blood brothers

And as you look all around at the
world in dismay
What do you see, do you think we
have learned
Not if you're taking a look at the
war-torn affray
Out in the streets where the babies
are burned

We're blood brothers
We're blood brothers
We're blood brothers
We're blood brothers

There are times when I feel I'm afraid
for the world
There are times I'm ashamed of us all
When you're floating on all the
emotion you feel
And reflecting the good and the bad

Will we ever know what the answer
to life really is?
Can you really tell me what life is?
Maybe all the things that you know
that are precious to you
Could be swept away by fate's
own hand

We're blood brothers
We're blood brothers
We're blood brothers
We're blood brothers

When you think that we've used
all our chances
And the chance to make
everything right
Keep on making the same
old mistakes
Makes untipping the balance so easy
When we're living our lives on
the edge
Say a prayer on the book of the dead

We're blood brothers
We're blood brothers
We're blood brothers
We're blood brothers

And if you're taking a walk through
the garden of life

Brave New World
Iron Maiden
Composição: Murray, Harris, Dickinson

Dying Swans twisted wings
Beauty not needed here
Lost my love, lost my life
In this garden of fear
I have seen many things
In a lifetime alone
Mother love is no more
Bring this savage back home

Wilderness house of pain
Makes no sense of it all
Close this mind dull this brain
Messiah before his fall
What you see is not real
Those who know will not tell
All is lost sold your souls
To this brave new world

A brave new world
In a brave new world
A brave new world
In a brave new world

In a brave new world
a brave new world
In a brave new world
a brave new world

Dragon Kings Dying Queens
Where is salvation now
Lost my life, lost my dreams
Rip the bones from my flesh
Silent screams laughing here
Dying to tell you the truth
You are planned and you are damned
In this brave new world

A brave new world
In a brave new world
A brave new world
In a brave new world

In a brave new world
a brave new world
In a brave new world
a brave new world

A brave new world
In a brave new world
A brave new world
In a brave new world

In a brave new world
a brave new world
In a brave new world
a brave new world

Dying Swans twisted wings
Bring this savage back home

Brighter Than A Thousand Suns
Iron Maiden
Composição: Smith/Harris/Dickinson

We are not the sons of god
We are not his chosen people now
We have crossed the path he trod
We will feel the pain of his beginning

Shadow fingers rise above
iron fingers stab the desert sky
Oh behold the power of man
On it's tower, ready for the fall

knocking heads together well
Raise a city, build a living hell
Join the race to suicide
Listen for the tolling of the bell

Out of the universe
A strange love is born
Unholy union
Trinity reformed

Yellow sun its evil twin
In the black the wings deliver him
We will split our soul's within
Atom seed to nuclear dust is riven

Out of the universe
A strange love is born
Unholy union
Trinity reformed

Out of the darkness, brighter than a thousand suns
Out of the darkness, brighter than a thousand suns
Out of the darkness, brighter than a thousand suns
Out of the darkness, brighter than a thousand suns

Out of the darkness, brighter than a thousand suns
Out of the darkness, brighter than a thousand suns

(solo)

Bury your morals
And bury your dead
Bury your head in the sand
E=mc squared you can relate
How we made god with our hands

Whatever would Robert have said to his god
about how we made war with the sun
E=MC squared you can relate
how we made god with our hands

All nations are rising
Through acid veils of love and hate
Chain letters of Satan,
uncertainty leads us all to this
All nations are rising,
through avid veils of love and hate
cold fusion and fury

Divide and conquer while ye may
Others preach and others fall and pray
In the bunkers where we'll die
Where the executioners they lie

Bombers launch with no recall
Minutes warning of the missile fall
Take a look at your last sky
Guessing you won't have the time to cry

Out of the universe
A strange love is born
Unholy union
Trinity reformed

Out of the darkness
Out of the darkness
Out of the darkness brighter than a thousand suns
Out of the darkness brighter than a thousand suns
Out of the darkness brighter than a thousand suns
Out of the darkness brighter than a thousand suns
Out of the darkness brighter than a thousand suns

Holy Father we have sinned

Bring Your Daughter... To The Slaughter
Iron Maiden
Composição: Bruce Dickinson

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 you tomb
You'd better know that I'm the one
So inchain your back door invite me around

Bring your daughter, bring your daughter to the slaughter
Let her go, let her go, let her go!
Bring your daughter, bring your daughter to the slaughter
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 your daughter, bring your daughter to the slaughter
Let her go, let her go, let her go!
Bring your daughter, bring 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 your daughter, bring your daughter, bring your daughter,
bring your daughter, bring your daughter, bring your daughter,
to the slaughter
Let her go, let her go, let her go!

Iron Maiden
Composição: laborne

(Harris)

So you think you can own me, well you'd better just think again
You'd better watch your steps now, woman, cause I ain't like those other men
There's something burning inside me that makes me want to be free
And when I get these feelings honey, you better keep away from me

There's things in life now, baby, that I know I've got to do
And I need your love now, baby, to help me see it through
So you think you can own me, well you'd better just think again
You'd better watch your steps now, woman, cause I ain't like those other men

Can I Play With Madness
Iron Maiden
Composição: Adrian Smith/Bruce Dickinson/Steve Harris

Give me the sense to wonder,
to wonder if I'm free.
Give me the sense to wonder,
to know I can be me.
Give me the strenght, 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 and he 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 then he fixed me with a freezing glance,
and the hellfires raged in his eyes,
He said do you want to know the truth son?
I'll tell you the truth!
Your souls' 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 and 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?

Can I play with Madness?
He said you're blind, too blind to see!

Caught Somewhere In Time
Iron Maiden
Composição: Steve Harris

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.

Chorus:
Caught somewhere in time
Caught somewhere in time
Caught somewhere in time

Caught somewhere in time
Caught somewhere in time
Caught somewhere in time

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... just let yourself go!

Chorus:
Caught somewhere in time
Caught somewhere in time
Caught somewhere in time

Caught somewhere in time
Caught somewhere in time
Caught now in two minds!

Chains of misery
Iron Maiden
Composição: Bruce Dickinson, Dave Murray

There's a madman in the corner of your eye
He likes to pry - into your sunlight
He wants to burst into the street with you and I
A world of shadows and of rain

He's seen what love is
He wants to pay you back with guilt

Refrão:

He lies to you - he won't let you be
He's got your chains of misery
He won't be still
till he's turned your key
He holds your chains of misery
He´s got your chains of misery

There's a prophet in the gutter in the street
He says "you're damned!" - and you believe him...
He's got a vision
but it shines out through your eyes
A world of hatred and fear

He spells what love means
He wants to pay you back with pain

Refrão

It's only love
that holds the key to our hearts
It's only love

Charlotte The Harlot
Iron Maiden
Composição: Murray

Giving a swish with your arse in the air, don't you know whatthey're saying?
Charlotte you're so refined when you take all the love thatthey're giving.
Sticking with every man that you find, don't you know whatthey're after?
Charlotte you've got your legs in the air, don't you hear all thelaughter?

Refrén:
Charlotte the Harlot show me your legs,
Charlotte the Harlot take me to bed.
Charlotte the Harlot let me see blood,
Charlotte the Harlot let me see love.

Taking so many men to your room, don't you feel no remorse?
You charge them a "fiver", It's only for starters.
And ten for the main course.
And you've got no feelings, they died long ago.
Don't you care who you let in?
And don't you know you're breaking the law with the serviceyou're giving.

Refrén

There was a time when you left me standing there,
Picking up pieces of love off the floor.
Well Charlotte you left me alone in there,
To make your ends as a bloody whore.
Well Charlotte you told me you love me true,
Picking up pieces of love yesterday.
Well Charlotte you're draws are off color too
'Cause you're making love all day.

Giving a swish with your arse in the air, don't you know whatthey're saying?
Charlotte you're so refined when you take all the love thatthey're giving.
Sticking with every man that you find, don't you know whatthey're after?
Charlotte you've got your legs in the air, don't you hear all thelaughter?

Refrén
