Wildest Dreams
(Smith, Harris)
I'm gonna organise some changes in my life
I'm going to exorcise the demons of my past
I'm gonna take the car and hit the open road
I'm feeling ready to just open up and go
And I just feel that I can be anything
That I might ever wished to be
And fantasize just what I want to be
Make my wildest dreams come true
I'm on my way! Out on my own again!
I'm on my way! Out on the road again! When I remember back to how that things just used to be
And I was stuck inside a shroud of misery
I felt I disappeared so deep inside myself
I couldn't find a way to break away the hell
When I'm feeling down and low
I vow I'll never be the same again
I just remember what I am
And visualise just what I'm gonna be
I'm on my way! Out on my own again!
I'm on my way! I'm gonna break away I'm gonna break away
I'm out on my own
I'm out on my own
Gonna break away
Break it away!
I'm on my way! Out on my own again
I'm on my way! Out on the road again
I'm on my way! Out on my own again
I'm on my way! Out on the road again
I'm on my way! Out on my own again
I'm on my way! I'm gonna break away |
| Wrathchild
(Harris)
I was born into a scene of angriness and greed, and dominance and persecution.
My mother was a queen, my dad I've never seen, I was never meant to be.
And now I spend my time looking all around,
For a man that's nowhere to be found.
Until I find him I'm never gonna stop searching,
I'm gonna find my man, gonna travel around.
'Cause I'm a wrathchild, well I'm a wrathchild.
Yeah I'm a wrathchild. I'm coming to get you,oooh yeah. Say it doesn't matter ain't nothin' gonna alter the course of my destination.
I know I've got to find some serious piece of mind, or I know I'll go crazy.
But now I spend my time looking all around,
For a man thats nowhere to be found.
Until I find him I'm never gonna stop searching,
I'm gonna find my man, gonna travel around.
'Cause I'm a wrathchild, well I'm a wrathchild.
Yeah I'm a wrathchild. I'm coming to get you, oooh yeah. |
| Can I Play With Madness
(Dickinson, Harris, Smith)
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
and he laughed at me ha ha
Can I play with madness - he said you're blind
too blind to see
He 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 your 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 do you want to know the truth son
- I'll tell you the truth
Your soul's gonna burn in the 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 ha ha
Can I play with madness - he said you're blind
too blind to see
Ooh! 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
and he laughed at me
Can I play with madness - he said you're blind
too blind to see
Can I play eith madness |
| The Trooper
(Harris)
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. O-o-o-oh, O-o-o-oh!
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. O-o-o-oh, O-o-o-oh!
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. O-o-o-oh, O-o-o-oh!

| Dance Of Death
(Gers, Harris)
Let me tell you a story to chill the bones, about a thing 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
Then they summoned me over to join in with them to the dance of the dead
Into the circle of fire I followed them, into 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
Then 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 Death
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 'till I dance with the dead

| Rainmaker
(Murray, Harris, Dickinson)
When I was wandering in the desert and I was searching for the truth
I heard a choir of angels calling out my name
I had the feeling that my life would never be the same again
I turn my face towards the barren sun
And I know of the pain, that you feel the same as me
And I dream of the rain as it falls upon the leaves
And the cracks in our lives like the cracks upon the ground
They are sealed and are now washed away
You tell me we can start the rain
You tell me that we all can change
You tell me we can find something to wash the tears away
You tell me we can start the rain
You tell me that we all can change
You tell me we can find something to wash the tears And I know of the pain, that you feel the same as me
And I dream of the rain as it falls upon the leaves
And the cracks in the ground like the cracks are in our lives
They are sealed and now far away
You tell me we can start the rain
You tell me that we all can change
You tell me we can find something to wash the tears away
You tell me we can start the rain
You tell me that we all can change
You tell me we can find something to wash the tears
You tell me we can start the rain
You tell me that we all can change
You tell me we can find something to wash the tears away
You tell me we can start the rain
You tell me that we all can change
You tell me we can find something to wash the tears And I know of the pain, that you feel the same as me
And I dream of the rain as it falls upon the leaves
And the cracks in the ground like the cracks are in our lives
They are sealed and now far away

| Brave New World
(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 at all
Close this mind
Dull this brain
Master man for his fall
What you see
It's 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
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
Ripped them bones from my grasp
Silent screams
Laughing hear
Dying to tell you the truth
You have planned
And you are damned
In this Brave New World

| Paschendale
(Smith, Harris)
In a foreign field you lay, lonely soldier, unknown grave
On his dying words he prays, tell the world of Paschendale
Relive all that he's been through, last communion of his soul
Rust your bullets with his tears, let me tell you about his years
Laying low in a blood-filled trench, killing time 'til my very own death
On my face I can feel the falling rain, never see my friends again
In the smoke in the mud and lead, smell the fear and the feeling of dread
Soon be time to go over the wall, rapid fire and the end of us all
Whistles, shouts, and more gun fire, lifeless bodies hang on barbed wire
Battlefield nothing but a bloody tomb, be reunited with my dead friends soon
Many soldiers eighteen years drown in mud no more tears
Surely a war noone can win, killing time about to begin
Home, far away from the war, a chance to live again
Home, far away but the war, no chance to live again The bodies of ours and our foes, the sea of death it overflows
In no man's land God only knows, into jaws of death we go
Crucified as if on a cross, allied troops they mourn their loss
German war propaganda machine such before has never been seen
Swear I heard the angels cry, pray to God no more may die
So that people know the truth, tell the tale of Paschendale
Cruelty has a human heart, every man does play his part
Terror of the men we kill, the human heart is hungry still
I stand my ground for the very last time, gun is ready as I stand in line
Nervous wait for the whistle to blow, rush of blood and over we gooooooooo
Blood is falling like the rain, its crimson cloak unveils again
The sound of guns can't hide their shame and so we die in Paschendale
Dodging shrapnel and barbed wire, running straight at cannon fire
Running blind as I hold my breath, say a prayer symphony of death
As we charge the enemy lines, a burst of fire and we go down
I choke a cry but no-one hears, feel the blood go down my throat
Home, far away from the war, a chance to live again
Home, far away but the war, no chance to live again
Home, far away from the war, a chance to live again
Home, far away but the war, no chance to live again See my spirit on the wind, across the lines beyond the hill
Friend and foe will meet again those who died at Paschendale

| Lord Of The Flies
(Gers, Harris)
I don't care for this world anymore
I just want to live my own fantasy
Fate has brought us to these shores
What was meant to be is now happening
I've found that I like this living in danger
Living on the edge it makes feel as one
Who cares now what's right or wrong
It's reality
Killing so we survive
Wherever we may roam
Wherever we may hide
We've got to get away
I don't want existence to end
We must prepare ourselves for
the elements
I just want to feel like we're strong
We don't need a code of morality
I like all the mixed emotion and anger
It brings out the animal
The power you can feel
And feeling so high on this much adrenalin
Excited but scary true
To believe what we've become
Saints and sinners
Something within us
We are lord of the flies
Saints and sinners
Something willing us
To be lord of the flies
Ooooh! Ooooh! Ooooh! Ooooh!
Saints and sinners
Something within us
We are lord of the flies
Saints and sinners
Something willing us
To be lord of the flies
Saints and sinners
Something within us
We are lord of the flies
Saints and sinners
Something willing us
To be lord of the flies

| No More Lies
(Harris)
There's a darkening sky before me, there's no time to prepare
Salvage a last horizon, but no regrets from me
Maybe I'll be back some other day to live again just who can say
In what shape or form that I might be, just another chance for me
A hurried time, no disgrace, instead of racing to conclusions
And wishing all my life away, noone can stop me now
Time is up, it couldn't last but there's more things I'd like to do
I'm coming back to try again someday maybe I'll wait till then
No more lies!
No more lies!
No more lies!
No more lies!
No more lies!
No more lies!
No more lies!
No more lies! They're all sitting at my table, talking tall and drinking wine
Their time is up just like me, but they just don't know it yet
So just a word of warning when you're in your deepest dreams
There's nothing you can hide from, I've got my eye on you
The clock is fast, the hour is near, eventful past is ever clear
My life is set, the time is here, I think I'm coming home
No more lies!
No more lies!
No more lies!
No more lies!
No more lies!
No more lies!
No more lies!
No more lies! A hurried time, no disgrace, instead of racing to conclusions
Wishing all your life away, noone can stop me now
Time is up, it couldn't last but there's more things I have to do
I'm coming back to try again don't tell me that this is the end
No more lies!
No more lies!
No more lies!
No more lies!
No more lies!
No more lies!
No more lies!
No more lies!
No more lies!
No more lies! No more lies...

| Hallowed Be Thy Name
(Harris)
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
'Cause 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 'cause 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.
Yeah! Hallowed be thy name
Yeah! Hallowed be thy name
YEAH!!! |
| Fear Of The Dark
(Harris)
I am a man who walks alone
And when I'm walking 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 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 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 find it hard to look again
Because you're sure there's someone 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
Fear of the dark
Fear of the dark
Fear of the dark
Fear of the dark
Fear of the dark
Fear of the dark
Fear of the dark
Fear of the dark Watching horror films the night before
Debating witches and folklores
The unknown troubles on your mind
Maybe 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 a dark road
I am a man who walks alone

| Iron Maiden
(Harris)
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 fought, Iron Maiden can't be sought.
Oh Well, wherever, wherever you are,
Iron Maiden's gonna get you, no matter how far.
See the blood flow watching it shed up above my head.
Iron Maiden wants you for 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 fought, Iron Maiden can't be sought.
Oh Well, wherever, wherever you are,

See the blood flow watching it shed up above my head.
Iron Maiden wants you for dead. Won't you come into my room, I wanna show you all my wares.

| Journeyman
(Smith, Harris, Dickinson)
From the red sky of the East to the sunset in the West
We have cheated Death and He has cheated us
But that was just a dream and this is what it means
We are sleeping and we'll dream for evermore
And the fragment remains of our memories
And the shadows we made with our hands
Deeper grey, came to mourn all the colours of the dawn
Will this journeyman's day be his last?
I know what I want, I say what I want
And no one can take it away
I know what I want, I say what I want
And no one can take it away
I know what I want, I say what I want
And no one can take it away
I know what I want, I say what I want
And no one can take it away But the memorys still remains, all the past years not so strange
Our winter times are like a silent shroud
And the heartbeat of the day drives the mist away
And winter's not the only dream around
In your life you may choose desolation
And the shadows you build with your hands
If you turn to the light that is burning in the night
Then your journeyman's day has begun
I know what I want, I say what I want
And no one can take it away
I know what I want, I say what I want
And no one can take it away
I know what I want, I say what I want
And no one can take it away
I know what I want, I say what I want
And no one can take it away In your life you may choose desolation
And the shadows you build with your hands
If you turn to the light that is burning in the night
Then your journeyman's day has begun
I know what I want, I say what I want
And no one can take it away
I know what I want, I say what I want
And no one can take it away
I know what I want, I say what I want
And no one can take it away
I know what I want, I say what I want
And no one can take it away Oooooh...

| The Number Of The Beast
(Harris)
"Woe to you, Oh Earth and Sea,
for the Devil sends the beast with wroth,
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 b. 18.
I left alone my mind was blank
I needed time to get the memories from my mind
What did I see could 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
'Cause 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
'Cause 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
Six, six, six 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
Six, six, six 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
Six, six, six the Number of the Beast
Six, six, six 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

| Run To The Hills
(Harris)
White man came across the sea
He brought us pain and misery
He killed our tribes, he 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
Run to the hills, run for your lives
YEAH!!! A-AH
Run to the hills, run for your lives
Run to the hills, run for your lives
Run to the hills, run for your lives
Run to the hills, run for your lives
Run to the hills, run for your lives
Run to the hills, run for your lives |
