Iron Maiden-“Iron Maiden” (Iron Maiden,1980)

Won't you come into my room
I wanna show you all my wares
I just want to see your blood
I just want to stand and stare

See the blood begin to flow
As it falls upon the floor
Iron Maiden can't be bought
Iron Maiden can't be sold

I want whatever, whatever you are
Iron Maiden's
Gonna get you no matter how far
You can pull through, watching the shed
Up above my head
Iron Maiden watching the dead

Won't you come into my room
I wanna show you all my wares
I just want to see your blood
I just want to stand and stare

See the blood begin to flow
As it falls upon the floor
Iron Maiden can't be bought
Iron Maiden can't be sold

I want whatever, whatever you are
Iron Maiden's
Gonna get you no matter how far
You can pull through, watching the shed
Up above my head
Iron Maiden watching the dead

Won't you come into my room
I wanna show you all my wares
I just want to see your blood
I just want to stand and stare

See the blood begin to flow
As it falls upon the floor
Iron Maiden can't be bought
Iron Maiden can't be sold

I want whatever, whatever you are
Iron Maiden's
Gonna get you no matter how far
You can pull through, watching the shed
Up above my head
Iron Maiden watching the dead

Iron Maiden-"Prowler" (Iron Maiden,1980)

Walking through the city
Looking oh so pretty
I've just got to find my way
See the lights flashing
All their electric flashes
I've just got to find my way

Will you see me
Prowling through the bushes
Will it all go quiet
What you seeing girl
Can't you believe that feeling
Can't you believe it
Can't you believe your eyes
It's all routine girl

Got me feeling myself
And reeling around
Got me talking but
Feel like walking around

Got me feeling myself
And reeling
Got me talking but
Nothing's moving
Got me feeling myself
And reeling around

Walking through the city
Looking oh so pretty
I've just got to find my way
See the lights flashing
All their electric flashes
I've just got to find my way

Will you see me
Prowling through the bushes
Will it all go quiet
What you seeing girl
Can't you believe that feeling
Can't you believe it
Can't you believe your eyes
It's all routine girl

Got me feeling myself
And reeling around
Got me talking but
Feel like walking around

Iron Maiden-"Hallowed be thy name'' (The number of the beast,1982)

I'm waiting in my cold cell when the bell begins to chime
Reflecting on my past life and it doesn't have much time
Cos at 5 o'clock they take me to the Gallows Pole
The sands of time for me are running low

When the priest comes to read me the last rites
I take a look through the bars at the last sights
Of a world that has gone very wrong for me

Can it be there's some sort of error
Hard to stop the surmounting terror
Is it really the end not some crazy dream

Somebody please tell me that I'm dreaming
It's not so easy to stop from screaming
But words escape me when I try to speak
Tears they flow but why am I crying
After all I am not afraid of dying
Don't believe that there is never an end

As the guards march me out to the courtyard
Someone calls from a cell "God be with you"
If there's a God then why has he let me die?

As I walk all my life drifts before me
And though the end is near I'm not sorry
Catch my soul cos it's willing to fly away

Mark my words please believe my soul lives on
Please don't worry now that I have gone
I've gone beyond to see the truth

When you know that your time is close at hand
maybe then you'll begin to understand
Life down there is just a strange illusion.

Iron Maiden-''The evil that man do'' (Seventh son of a seventh son,1988)

Love is a razor
And I walk the line on that silver blade

Slept in the dust with his daughter
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 only I could see her now

Living on a razor's edge

Balancing on a ledge

You know

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

You know

The evil that men do lives on and on

The evil
That men do

Iron Maiden-''Run to the hills'' (The number of tne beast,1982)

White man came across the sea
Brought us pain and misery
Killed our tribes killed our creed
Took our game for his own need

We fought him hard we fought him well
Out on the plains we gave him hell
But many came too much for Cree
Oh will we ever be set free?

Riding through dustclouds and barren wastes
Galloping hard on the plains
Chasing the redskins back to their holes
Fighting them at their own game
Murder for freedom a stab in the back
Women and children and cowards attack

Run to the hills run for your lives
Run to the hills run for your lives

Soldier blue on the barren wastes
Hunting and killing their game
Raping the women and wasting the men
The only good Indians are tame
Selling them whisky and taking their gold
Enslaving the young and destroying the old

Run to the hills run for your lives

Iron Maiden-''The Trooper'' (Piece of mind,1983)

You'll take my life but I'll take yours too
You'll fire your musket but I'll run you through
So when you're waiting for the next attack
You'd better stand there's no turning back.

The Bugle sounds and the charge begins
But on this battlefield no one wins
The smell of acrid smoke and horses breath
As I plunge on into certain death.

The horse he sweats with fear we break to run
The mighty roar of the Russian guns
And as we race towards the human wall
The screams of pain as my comrades fall.

We hurdle bodies that lay on the ground
And the Russians fire another round
We get so near yet so far away
We won't live to fight another day.

We get so close near enough to fight
When a Russian gets me in his sights
He pulls the trigger and I feel the blow
A burst of rounds take my horse below.

And as I lay there gazing at the sky
My body's numb and my throat is dry
And as I lay forgotten and alone
Without a tear I draw my parting groan.

Iron Maiden-''Running free'' (Iron Maiden,1980)

O. K.
I'm just 16, stayed out of trouble
Out of money, out of love
I got nowhere to call my own
Hit the gas and here I go

I'm running free yeah
I'm running free
I'm running free yeah
I'm running free
(Get out my way) (Play it)

I've spent the night in every jail
And listened to the sirens wail
But they ain't got a thing on me
I'm running wild, I'm running free

I'm running free yeah
I'm running free

Pulled her at the Bottle Top
The whiskey dancing disco hop
Now all the boys are after me
That's the way it's gonna be

I'm running free yeah
I'm running free
I'm running free yeah
I'm running free

Iron Maiden-''Killers'' (Killers,1981)

You walk through the subway,
his eyes burn a hole in your back,
A footstep behind you,
he lunges prepared for attack.
Scream for mercy,
he laughs as he's watching you bleed,
Killer behind you,
his blood lust defies all his needs.

My innocent victims are slaughtered
with wrath and despise,
The mocking religion
of hatred that burns in the night.
I have no one,
I'm bound to destroy all this greed,
A voice inside me
compelling to satisfy me.

I can see
what a knife's meant to be,
And you'll never know
how I came to forsee, see, see.

My faith in believing
is stronger than lifelines and ties,
With the glimmer of metal
my moment is ready to strike.

Death call arises,
a scream breaks the still of the night,
Another tomorrow,
remember to walk in the light!
I have found you,
and now there is no place to run,
Excitement shakes me,
oh God help me what have I done?!
Oooh yeah, I've done it!
YEEEEAAAAAAAAHHHH!

You walk through the subway,
my eyes burn a hole in your back,
A footstep behind you,
he lunges prepared for attack.
Scream for mercy,
he laughs as he's watching you bleed,
Killer behind you,
my blood lust defies all my needs.
Oooh look out, I'm coming for you!
Ahahahaha!

Iron Maiden-''Moonchild''(Seventh son of a seventh son,1988)

Seven deadly sins
Seven ways to win
Seven holy paths to Hell
And your trip begins

Seven downward slopes
Seven bloodied hopes
Seven are your burning fires
Seven your desires

I am he
The bornless one
The fallen angel
Watching you
Babylon
The scar
Your gratitude
And don't you dare
To save your son
Kill him now
And save the young ones
Be the mother of a birth
Strangled babe
Be the Devil's own
Lucifer's my name

Moonchild
Hear the mandrake scream
Moonchild
Open the seventh seal

I count the heads
Of those unborn
The accursed ones
I'll find them all
And if you die
By your own hand
As a suicide
You shall be damned
And if you try
To save your soul
I will torment you
You shall not grow old
With every second
And passing breath
You'll be so alone
Your soul will bleed to death

Moonchild
Hear the mandrake scream
Moonchild
Open the seventh seal
Moonchild
You'll be mine soon child
Moonchild
Take my hand tonight

The twins they are exhausted
Seven is this night
Gemini is rising
And the red lips kiss to bite

Seven angels, seven demons
Battle for his soul
When Gabriel lies sleeping
This child was born to die

One more dies
And one more lives
One baby cries
One mother grieves
For all the sin
You will commit
You'll beg forgiveness
And none I'll give
A web of fear
Shall be your coat
To clothe you
In the night
A lucky escape
For you young man
But I'll see you damned
In endless night
Moonchild
Hear the mandrake scream
Moonchild
Open the seventh seal
Moonchild
You'll be mine soon child
Moonchild
Take my hand tonight

Iron Maiden-''Mother Russia(No prayer for the dying,1990)

Mother Russia, how are you sleeping?
Middle winter cold winds blow
From the trees are snowflakes drifting
Swirling round like ghosts in the snow
Mother Russia, poetry majestic
Tells the time 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, remember what you are
Now it has come, freedom at last
Turn 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-''The number of the beast''(The number of the beast,1982)

"Woe to you, Oh Earth and Sea, for the Devil sends the beast
with wrath, because he knows the time is short...
Let him who hath understanding reckon the number of the beast
for it is a human number, its number is Six hundred and sixty six."
Revelations ch. XIII v. 18

I left alone my mind was blank
I needed time to get the memories from my mind

What did I see can I believe that what I saw
that night was real and not just fantasy

Just what I saw in my old dreams were they
reflections of my warped mind staring back at me

Cos in my dreams it's always there the evil face that twists my mind
and brings me to despair

The night was black was no use holding back
Cos I just had to see was someone watching me
In the mist dark figures move and twist
was all this for real or some kind of hell
666 the Number of the Beast
Hell and fire was spawned to be released

Torches blazed and sacred chants were praised
as they start to cry hands held to the sky
In the night the fires burning bright
the ritual has begun Satan's work is done
666 the Number of the Beast
Sacrifice is going on tonight

This can't go on I must inform the law
Can this still be real or some crazy dream
but I feel drawn towards the evil chanting hordes
they seem to mesmerise me...can't avoid their eyes
666 the Number of the Beast
666 the one for you and me

I'm coming back I will return
And I'll possess your body and I'll make you burn
I have the fire I have the force
I have the power to make my evil take its course

Iron Maiden-''Revelations''(Piece of mind,1983)

"O God of Earth and Altar,
Bow down and hear our cry,
Our earthly rulers falter,
Our people drift and die,
The walls of gold entomb us,
The swords of scorn divide,
Take not thy thunder from us,
But take away our pride."
(G.K Chesterton: English Hymnal)

Just a babe in a black abyss,
No reason for a place like this,
The walls are cold and souls cry out in pain,
An easy way for the blind to go,
A clever path for the fools who know
The Secret of the Hanged Man - the smile on his lips.

The light of the Blind - you'll see,
The venom that tears my spine,
The Eyes of the Nile are opening - you'll see.

She came to me with a serpent's kiss,
As the Eye of the Sun rose on her lips,
Moonlight catches silver tears I cry,
So we lay in a black embrace,
And the Seed is sown in a holy place
And I watched, and I waited for the Dawn.

The light of the Blind - you'll see,
The venom that tears my spine,
The Eyes of the Nile are opening - you'll see.

Blind all of us together,
Ablaze with Hope and Free,
No storm or heavy weather
Will rock the boat you'll see.
The time has come to close your eyes
And still the wind and rain,
For the one who will be King
Is the Watcher in the Ring.
It is You.
