Childhood's End
Iron Maiden
Composição: Harris

I'd sail across the ocean
I'd walk a hundred miles
If I could make it to the end
Oh just to see a smile

You see it in their faces
The saddness in their tears
The despereation and the anger
Madness and the fear

[Chorus:]
No hope, no life, just pain and fear
No food, no love, just greed is here

Starvation and the hunger
The suffering and the pain
The agonies of all-out war
When will it come again ?

The struggle for the power
A tyrant tries again
Just what the hell is going on ?
When will it ever end ?

[Chorus:]

You see the full moon float
You watch the red sun rise
We take these things for granted
But somewhere someone's dying

Contaminated waters
Pollution and decay
Just waiting for disease to strike
Oh will we learn someday ?

No hope, no life, just pain and fear
No food, no love, no seed, childhoods end.

Children Of The Damned
Iron Maiden
Composição: Steve Harris

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
Children of The Damned
Children of The Damned
Children of The Damned

He's walking like a dead man.
If he had lived he would have crucified us all.
Now he's standing on this last step.
He thought oblivion, well it beckons to us all.
Children of The Damned
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 flames sear his flesh.
Melting his face, screaming in pain.
Peeling the skin from his eyes.
Watch him die according to plan,
He's dust on the 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.
You're Children of The Damned.

Churchill's Speech
Iron Maiden
Composição: Prime Minister Winston Churchill

"We should go on to the end,
we should fight in France,
we should fight on the seas and oceans,
we should fight! With growing confidence
and growing strength in the air!

We should defend our island,
whatever the cost may be,
we should fight on the beaches,
we should fight on the landing grounds,
we should fight in the fields
and in the streets,
we should fight in the hills;

We should never surrender!"

Communication Breakdown
Iron Maiden
Composição: Led Zeppelin

Hey girl, what you doin'?
Hey girl, you'll drive me to ruin
I don't know what it is about you
But I like it a lot
Oh why don't you let me hold you
Let me feel your lovin' touch

Communication breakdown, it's always the same
I'm having a nervous breakdown, drive me insane!

Hey girl, I got something I think you want to know
Hey girl, I wanna tell you that I love you so
I wanna hold you in my arms
And feel your love tonight
I'm never gonna let you go
'Cause I like your charms

Communication breakdown, it's always the same
I'm having a nervous breakdown, drive me insane!

(1:16 – Solo: Janick Gers)

Communication breakdown, it's always the same
I'm having a nervous breakdown, drive me insane!

Communication breakdown
Communication breakdown
Communication breakdown
I want to feel your love all night
Communication breakdown
Communication breakdown
I'm gonna make your telephone work tonight
Communication breakdown

Cross-Eyed Mary (cover)
Iron Maiden
Composição: Jethro Tull

Who would be a poor man, a beggarman,
a thief if he had a rich man in his hand?
Who would steal the candy
From a laughing baby's mouth
if he could take it from the money man?

Cross-eyed Mary goes jumping in again
She signs no contract but she always plays the game
She dines in Hampstead village
On expense accounted gruel
and the jack knife barber drops her off at school

Laughing in the playground
Gets no kicks from little boys
would rather make it with a letching gray
Or maybe her attention is drawn by
Aqualung who watches
Through the railings as they play

Cross-eyed Mary finds it hard to get along
She's a poor man's rich girl
And she'll do it for a song
She's a rich man's stealer
But her favour's good and strong
She's the Robin Hood of Highgate
helps the poor man get along

Dance Of Death
Iron Maiden
Composição: (janick Gers/steve Harris)

Let me tell you a story to chill the bones
about a things that I saw
One night wandering in the everglades
I'd one drink but no more

I was rambling, enjoying the bright moonlight
Gazing up at the stars
Not aware of a presence so near to me
Watching my every move

Feeling scared and I fell to my knees
As something rushed me from the trees
Took me to an unholy place
And that is where I fell from grace

They summoned me over to join in with them
To the dance of the dead
In to the circle of fire I followed them
In to the middle I was led

As if time had stopped still I was numb with fear
But still I wanted to go
And the blaze of the fire did no hurt upon me
As I walked onto the coals

And I felt I was in a trance
And my spirit was lifted from me
And if only someone had the chance
To witness what happened to me

And I danced and I pranced and I sang with them
All had death in their eyes
Lifeless figures they were undead all of them
They had ascended from hell

As I danced with the dead
my free spirit was laughing and howling down at me
Below my undead body just danced the circle of dead

Until the time came to reunite us both
My spirit came back down to me
I didn't know if I was alive or dead
As the others all joined in with me

By luck then a skirmish started
And took the attention away from me
When they took their gaze from me
Was the moment that I fled

I ran like hell faster than the wind
But behind I did not glance
One thing that I did not dare
Was to look just straight ahead

When you know that your time has come around
You know you'll be prepared for it
Say your last goodbyes to everyone
Drink and say a prayer for it

When you're lying in your sleep, when you're lying in your bed
And you wake from your dreams to go dancing with the dead
When you're lying in your sleep, when you're lying in your bed
And you wake from your dreams to go dancing with the dead

To this day I guess I'll never know
Just why they let me go
But I'll never go dancing no more
'Til I dance with the dead

Deja Vu
Iron Maiden
Composição: Dave Murray e Steve Harris

When you see familiar faces,
But you don't remember where they're from,
Could you be wrong?

When you've been particular places,
That you know you've never been before,
Can you be sure?

'Cause you know this has happened before,
And you know that this moment in time is for real,
And you know when you feel Deja vu.

(Chorus)
Feel like I've been here before,
Feel like I've been here before.
Feel like I've been here before,
Feel like I've been here before.

Ever had a conversation,
That you realise you've had before,
Isn't it strange?

Have you ever talked to someone,
And you feel you know what's coming next?
It feels pre-arranged.

'Cause you know that you've heard it before,
And you feel that this moment in time is surreal,
'Cause you know when you feel Deja vu.

Die With Your Boots On
Iron Maiden
Composição: Smith / Dickinson / Harris

Another prophet of disaster
Who says the ship is lost
Another prophet of disaster
Leaving you to count the cost
Taunting us with visions
Afflicting us with fear
Predicting war for millions
In the hope that one appears

No point asking when it is
No point asking whos to go
No point asking whats the game
No point asking whos to blame
cos if youre gonna die, if youre gonna die
cos if youre gonna die, if youre gonna die

If youre gonna die, die with your boots on
If youre gonna try, just stick around
Gonna cry, just move along
If youre gonna die, youre gonna die

In 13 the beast is rising
The frenchman did surmise
Through earthquakes and starvation
The warlord will arise
Terror, death, destruction
Pour from the eastern sands
But the truth of all predictions
Is always in your hands

If youre gonna die, die with your boots on
If youre gonna try, just stick around
Gonna cry, just move along
If youre gonna die, youre gonna die

Different World
Iron Maiden
Composição: Adrian Smith/Steve Harris

You lead me on the path
Keep showing me the way
I feel a little lost
A little strange today

I think I'll take ahold
Of whatever comes my way
Then we'll see what happens
Take it day by day

I thought I had it all
I had it all worked out
Just what the future held
That there would be no doubt

But then the card came up
And I took another turn
But I don't know what is
Fulfillment that I yearn

Tell me what you can hear
And then tell me what you see
Everybody has a different way to view the world
I would like you to know when you see the simple things
To appreciate this life it's not too late to learn

Don't wanna be here
Somewhere I'd rather be
But when I get there
I'm afraid it's not for me

Tell me what you can hear
And then tell me what you see
Everybody has a different way to view the world
I would like you to know, when you see the simple things
To appreciate this life, it's not too late to learn

[solos]

Tell me what you can hear
And then tell me what you see
Everybody has a different way to view the world
I would like you to know, when you see the simple things
To appreciate this life, it's not too late to learn

Don't wanna be here
Somewhere I'd rather be
But when I get there
I'm afraid it's not for me

Don't know what I want
Or where I want to be
Feeling more confused
The more the days go by

Doctor, Doctor
Iron Maiden
Composição: Iron Maiden

Doctor doctor, please
Don't you know I'm goin' fast
Doctor doctor, please, don't you know i just can't let
She walked up to me and really stole my heart
And then she started to take my body apart

Livin' lovin' I'm on the run
So far away from you
Livin' lovin' I'm on the run
So far away from you

Doctor doctor, please
Don't you know, I'm just can't let
Doctor doctor, please, Don't you know, I'm goin' fast
It's only just a moment
But she's turning paranoid
That's not a situation for a nervous boy

Doctor doctor, please
Don't you know, I'm goin' fast
Doctor doctor, please, don't you know i just can't let
But you look so angry as I crawled across your floor
She's got the strength, I just can't take any more

Livin' lovin' I'm on the run
So far away from you
Livin' lovin' I'm on the run
So far away from you

Oooh! I'm on the run

Don't Look To The Eyes Of A Stranger
Iron Maiden
Composição: Steve Harris

Don't Look To The Eyes Of A Stranger

CHORUS:
Don't look to the eyes of a stranger
Don't look through the eyes of a fool
Don't look to the eyes of a stranger
Somebody's watching when the night comes down

Feel Someone's watching you
You gotta get away
Is it the first time
You've ever felt this scared

Feel the adrenalin pump
Your heart begins to race
Begin to run now
The sweat runs down your face

Don't know which way to turn
You'd better hide yourself
He's getting closer now
You'd better improvise

Just hope you never reach
The point of no return
Could be the last time
You see the light of day

CHORUS x2

Don't look to, don't look to,
Don't look to the eyes of a stranger

Dream Of Mirrors
Iron Maiden
Composição: Gers / Harris

Have you ever felt
The future is the past
But you don't know how...?
A reflected dream
Of a captured time
Is it really nowÂ… is it really happening?

Don't know why I feel this way
Have I dreamt this time, this place?
Something vivid comes again into my mind
And I think I've seen your face
Seen this room, been in this place
Something vivid comes again into my mind

All my hopes and expectation
Looking for an explanation
Have I found my destination?
I just can't take no more

The Dream is true, the dream is true
The dream is true, the dream is true

Think I've heard your voice before
Think I've said these words before
Something makes me feel I just might lose my mind
Am I still inside my dream?
Is this a new reality
Something makes me feel that I have lost my mind

All my hopes and expectation
Looking for an explanation
Coming to the realisation
That I can't see for sure

I only dream in Black and White
I only dream 'cause I am alive
I only dream in black and white
To save me from myself

I only dream in black and white
I only dream 'cause I'm alive
I only dream in black and white
Please save me from myself

The dream is true, the dream is true
The dream is true, the dream is true

I get up put on the light
Dreading the oncoming night
Scared to fall asleep and dream the dream again

Nothing that I contemplate
Nothing that I can compare
To letting loose the demons deep inside my head

Dread to think what might be stirring
That my dream is reoccurring
Got to keep away from drifting
Saving me from myself

I only dream in Black and White
I only dream 'cause I'm alive
I only dream in Black and White
To save me from myself

I only dream in Black and White
I only dream 'cause I'm alive
I only dream in Black and White
To save me from myself Â…

Lost in a dream of mirrors
Lost in a paradox
Lost and time is spinning
Lost a nightmare I retrace

Lost a hell that I revisit
Lost another time and place
Lost a parallel existence
Lost a nightmare I retrace

I only dream in Black and White
I only dream 'cause I'm alive
I only dream in Black and White
To save me from myself

I only dream in Black and White
I only dream 'cause I'm alive
I only dream in Black and White
To save me from myself


I only dream in Black and White
I only dream 'cause I'm alive
I only dream in Black and White
To save me from myself

The dream is true, the dream is true
The dream is true, the dream is true
The dream is true, the dream is true
The dream is true, the dream is true

Face In The Sand
Iron Maiden
Composição: (adrian Smith/steve Harris/bruce Dickinson)

Everybody's waiting for something to happen
Everybody's waiting for something to see
Lunatics waiting for bigger disasters
Everyone's waiting for news on TV

Winding lives at the end of the spiral
Waiting dictators with their next big thrill
Everyone's looking but no one is listening
Everybody wants to be in at the kill

I wait for the signs, they tell me true
I see the signs of the end of time

Everyone's searching but nothing's revealing
Everyone's looking for the reason why
Everyone's hoping for life everafter
Everyone's looking at death from the sky

Everyone's nightmares are going to happen
Everybody's ripping the mask from their eyes
Everyone's praying but no one's believing
Everyone's heroes tell everyone's lies

I wait for the signs, they tell me true
I see the signs of the end of time

So I watch and I wait
And I pray for an awnser
An end to the strife and the world's misery
But the end never came
And we're digging the graves
And we're loading the guns for the kill

Can the end be at hand?
Is the face in the sand?
Future memory of our tragedy

Can the end be at hand?
Is the face in the sand?
Future memory of our tragedy

Fates Warning
Iron Maiden
Composição: Dave Murray, Steve Harris

Why is it some of us are destined to stay alive, and some of us are here just so that we'll die
How come the bullet hits the other guy, do we have to try and reason why

Be it the devil or be it him, you can count on just one thing
When the time is up you'll know, not just one power runs the show
Are we the lucky ones saved for another day, or they the lucky ones who are taken away
Is it a hand on your shoulder from the lord above, or the devil himself come to give you a shove

Be it the devil or be it him, you can count on just one thing
When the time is up you'll know, not just one power runs the show
A volcano erupts and sweeps a town away, a hurricane devastates the cities in it's way
The grief and misery for the ones that are left behind, the worst is yet to come a hell to face mankind

(2:52-Solo: Dave Murray)
(3:31-Solo: Janick Gers)

Be it the devil or be it him, you can count on just one thing
When the time is up you'll know, not just one power runs the show

Fear Is The Key
Iron Maiden
Composição: Bruce Dickinson, Janick Gers

We live our lives in fever, in a choking sweat of fear
In the heat of the night you can feel so much
In the heat of the night I scream "Don't touch!"
I remember a time when we used and abused
We fought all our battles in vain
I remember a time we thought that passion was free
In the heat of the night... bodies aflame
We live in fever...

I hear your secret heartbeat, I can hear your silent cries
The kids have lost their freedom, and nobody cares till somebody famous dies

I remember a time when we used and abused
And we fought all our battles in vain
I remember a time we thought that passion was free
In the heat of the night... bodies aflame

Now we live in a world of uncertainty
Fear is the key - to what you want to be
You don't get a say the majority get's it's way
You're outnumbered by the bastards till the day you die

I hear your secret heartbeat, I can hear your silent cries
Oh, it gets to lies and lies
The kids have lost their freedom, and nobody cares till somebody famous dies
They're telling lies and lies and lies and lies and lies...

I remember a time when we used and abused
Ah, it was just lies
I remember a time we thought that passion was free
But it was just lies and lies and lies and lies and lies
In the night, ooh

(4:27-Solo: Janick Gers)

We live in fever, we live in fever, we live in fever

Now we live in a world of uncertainty
Fear is the key - to what you want to be
You don't get a say the majority get's it's way
You're outnumbered by the bastards till the day you die

Fear Of The Dark
Iron Maiden
Composição: Steve Harris

I am a man who walks alone
And when I'm walking in 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'll find it hard to look again
Because you're sure that
someone's 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

solo

Fear of the dark,Fear of the dark,
Fear of the dark,Fear of the dark,
singing now singing
Fear of the dark,Fear of the dark,
Fear of the dark,(one more)Fear of the dark,

Watching horror films the night before
Debating witches and folklores
The unknown troubles on your mind
And now 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 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 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 in a dark road
I am a man who walks alone

Flash Of The Blade
Iron Maiden
Composição: Bruce Dickinson

As a young boy chasing Dragons
with your wooden sword so mighty.
You're St. George or you're David and you always
killed the beast.
Times change very quickly,
And you had to grow up early,
A house in smoking ruins and the bodies
at your feet.

You'll die as you lived
In the flash of a blade,
In a corner forgotten by no-one.
You lived for the touch
For the feel of the steel,
One man, and his Honour.

The smell of resined leather
The steely iron mask
As you cut and thrust and parried at the
fencing master's call.
He taught you all he never knew
To fear no mortal man
And now you'll wreak your vengeance in the
Screams of evil men.

You'll die as you lived
In the flash of a blade,
In a corner forgotten by no-one.
You lived for the touch
For the feel of the steel,
One man, and his Honour.

You'll die as you lived
In the flash of a blade,
In a corner forgotten by no-one.
You lived for the touch
For the feel of the steel,
One man, and his Honour.

Flight Of Icarus
Iron Maiden
Composição: Adrian Smith / Bruce Dickinson

As the sun breaks, above the ground,
An old man stands on the hill,
As the ground warms, to the first rays of light
A birdsong shatters the still.

His eyes are ablazed,
See the madman in his gaze.

Fly, on your way, like an eagle,
Fly as high as the sun,
On your way, like an eagle,
Fly touch the sun.

Now the crowd breaks and a young boy appears
Looks the old man in the eye
As he spreads his wings and shouts at the crowd
In the name of God my father I fly.

His eyes seem so glazed
As he flies on the wings of a dream,
Now he knows his father betrayed
Now his wings turn to ashes to ashes his grave.

Fly, on your way, like an eagle,
Fly as high as the sun,
On your way, like an eagle,
Fly touch the sun.

For The Greater Good Of God
Iron Maiden
Composição: Steve Harris

Are you a man of peace
Or man of holy war
Too many sides to you
Don't know wich anymore
So many full of life
But also filled with pain
Don't know just how many
Will live to breathe again

A life that's made to breathe
desctruction of defense
A mind thats vain corruption
Bad or good intent
A wolf in sheeps clothing
Or saintly or sinner
Or some that would believe
A holy war winner

They fire off many shols
and many parling blows
Their actions beyond a reasoning
Only god would know
And as he lies in heaven
Or it could be in hell
I feel he's somewhere here
Or looking from below
But I don't know, I don't know

Please tell me now what life is
Please tell me now what love is
Well tell me now what war is
Again tell me what life is

More pain and misery in the history of mankind
Sometimes it seems more like
the blind leading the blind
It brings upon us more famine, death and war
You know religion has a lot to answer for

Please tell me now what life is
Please tell me now what love is
Well tell me now what war is
Again tell me what life is

And as they search to find the bodies in the sand
They find its ashes that are
Scattered acros the land
And as their spirits seem to whistle in the wind
A shot is fired somewhere another war begins

And all becouse of it you'd think
That we would learn
But still the body count the city fires burn
Somewhere ther's someone dying
In a foreign land
Meanwhile the world is crying stupidity of man
Tell me why, tell me why

Please tell me now what life is
Please tell me now what love is
Well tell me now what war is
Again tell me what life is

Please tell me now what life is
Please tell me now what love is
Well tell me now what war is
Again tell me what life is

For the greater good of god

Please tell me now what life is
Please tell me now what love is
Well tell me now what war is
Again tell me what life is

Please tell me now what life is
Please tell me now what love is
Well tell me now what war is
Again tell me what life is

For the greater good of god

He gave his life for us he fell upon the cross
To die for all of those who never mour his loss
It wasn't meant for us to feel the pain again
Tell my why, tell me why
