Mars Within lyrics - Bruce Dickenson
Professor Quatermass, where are you [x2]
Mankind returns to the stars
But sometimes the stars return to mankind
Didn't you come this way before, a million years ago?
Mankind returns to the stars
But sometimes the stars return to mankind
Didn't you come this way before, a million years ago?
Abduction lyrics - Bruce Dickenson
I wake in sweat
You come to steal my life away
Some strange electric glow of artificial day
The power breakers closed
The grid of darkness falls
Shining, gleaming black as night
Burning all the light
What do you want from me?
I sense your mastery
There's something you won't ever find
So have your way with me
This prisoner is never free
Rip me up, leave me behind
Are you the truth to sit in judgement on my sins?
Evil laser gadgets come to penetrate my skin
The hanging judge is open
And I'm damned before his eyes
Another genesis that failed
And many more have tried
What do you want from me?
I sense your mastery
There's something you won't ever find
So have your way with me
This prisoner is never free
Rip me up, leave me behind
And so the story goes
I dreamt this long ago
Highways hidden in the sand
Reveal the troops I know
They took my worthless heart
And spat it through their eyes
Abduction means the end for me
A million years of misery
What do you want from me?
I sense your mastery
There's something you won't ever find
So have your way with me
This soldier's lost his victory
Rip me up, leave me behind
You come to steal my life away
Some strange electric glow of artificial day
The power breakers closed
The grid of darkness falls
Shining, gleaming black as night
Burning all the light
What do you want from me?
I sense your mastery
There's something you won't ever find
So have your way with me
This prisoner is never free
Rip me up, leave me behind
Are you the truth to sit in judgement on my sins?
Evil laser gadgets come to penetrate my skin
The hanging judge is open
And I'm damned before his eyes
Another genesis that failed
And many more have tried
What do you want from me?
I sense your mastery
There's something you won't ever find
So have your way with me
This prisoner is never free
Rip me up, leave me behind
And so the story goes
I dreamt this long ago
Highways hidden in the sand
Reveal the troops I know
They took my worthless heart
And spat it through their eyes
Abduction means the end for me
A million years of misery
What do you want from me?
I sense your mastery
There's something you won't ever find
So have your way with me
This soldier's lost his victory
Rip me up, leave me behind
Soul Intruders lyrics - Bruce Dickenson
We ride the cosmic streams of time
We are the fools you came to trust
We blind the eyes of history
We tear ourselves down from your cross
Half-lives, we live again
Half-lives, now we are one
We’re the Soul Intruders, and the whirling void of night
We’re the Soul Intruders, and we're crying for the light
We’re the Soul Intruders, with no life of our own
I'm a sole survivor, but who sits on my throne?
Solar winds have taken hold
Blowing us where we do not know
Existence silent and unknown
Father son and viral host
Half-lives, eat but never kill
Half-lives, we live as well
We’re the Soul Intruders, and the whirling void of night
We’re the Soul Intruders, and we're crying for the light
We’re the Soul Intruders, with no life of our own
I'm a sole survivor, but who sits on my throne?
Half-lives, eat but never kill
Hope flies, we live as well
We’re the Soul Intruders, and the whirling void of night
We’re the Soul Intruders, and we're crying for the light
We’re the Soul Intruders, with no life of our own
I'm a sole survivor, but who sits on my throne?
We are the fools you came to trust
We blind the eyes of history
We tear ourselves down from your cross
Half-lives, we live again
Half-lives, now we are one
We’re the Soul Intruders, and the whirling void of night
We’re the Soul Intruders, and we're crying for the light
We’re the Soul Intruders, with no life of our own
I'm a sole survivor, but who sits on my throne?
Solar winds have taken hold
Blowing us where we do not know
Existence silent and unknown
Father son and viral host
Half-lives, eat but never kill
Half-lives, we live as well
We’re the Soul Intruders, and the whirling void of night
We’re the Soul Intruders, and we're crying for the light
We’re the Soul Intruders, with no life of our own
I'm a sole survivor, but who sits on my throne?
Half-lives, eat but never kill
Hope flies, we live as well
We’re the Soul Intruders, and the whirling void of night
We’re the Soul Intruders, and we're crying for the light
We’re the Soul Intruders, with no life of our own
I'm a sole survivor, but who sits on my throne?
Kill Devil Hill lyrics - Bruce Dickenson
Blood brothers of angels, now hear us
We earthbound your offspring, don't fear us
God willing, we'll raise up, be near you
So open your arms now and take us
So we're believing our dreams, like the Icarus of old
The plans we made for the bold
In the blue-eyed beyond, there is nowhere to hide,
There's no going back now
As the wind whips over the hillside
Twenty knots over Kill Devil Hill
Steady wind blows over the sand
Twenty knots over Kill Devil Hill
As the breeze whips straight as an arrow
Let her go over Kill Devil Hill
Gasoline and the wind in the wires
Kill Devil Hill and the way to the stars.
We stand on this seashore and wonder
What madness, what secrets we plunder
All failure, we learn from, discovery
The wreckage of heaven lies in the sand
First chances abandoned
With wood string and wire we can barely control our desire
For Destinies arrows....
As the wind whips over the hillside
Twenty knots over Kill Devil Hill
Steady wind blows over the sand
Twenty knots over Kill Devil Hill
As the breeze whips straight as an arrow,
Let her go over Kill Devil Hill
Gasoline and the wind in the wires
Kill Devil Hill and the way to the stars
We earthbound your offspring, don't fear us
God willing, we'll raise up, be near you
So open your arms now and take us
So we're believing our dreams, like the Icarus of old
The plans we made for the bold
In the blue-eyed beyond, there is nowhere to hide,
There's no going back now
As the wind whips over the hillside
Twenty knots over Kill Devil Hill
Steady wind blows over the sand
Twenty knots over Kill Devil Hill
As the breeze whips straight as an arrow
Let her go over Kill Devil Hill
Gasoline and the wind in the wires
Kill Devil Hill and the way to the stars.
We stand on this seashore and wonder
What madness, what secrets we plunder
All failure, we learn from, discovery
The wreckage of heaven lies in the sand
First chances abandoned
With wood string and wire we can barely control our desire
For Destinies arrows....
As the wind whips over the hillside
Twenty knots over Kill Devil Hill
Steady wind blows over the sand
Twenty knots over Kill Devil Hill
As the breeze whips straight as an arrow,
Let her go over Kill Devil Hill
Gasoline and the wind in the wires
Kill Devil Hill and the way to the stars
Navigate The Seas Of The Sun lyrics - Bruce Dickenson
Distant earthrise long ago
Lingers at the borders of our minds
Mysteries spinning in the dark
In the frozen emptiness of time
We were lost and we never knew
Who we were or what we left behind
Living half-lives we were blind
To the new frontiers that opened up our eyes
To find our minds were spinning
Souls entwined in a spiral dance
The ancient ways have found us
Again to give us one last chance
Living in this place
Staring into space we find
We might share the corners of our lives
Infinity runs deep
Eternity that we can't keep
Melting through the frozen wastes of time
So we go and will not return
To navigate the seas of the sun
Our children will go on and on
To navigate the seas of the sun
So we go and will not return
To navigate the seas of the sun
Our children will go on and on
To navigate the seas of the sun
We can't go on tomorrow
Living death by gravity
Couldn't stand it anymore
We'll sail our ships to distant shores
Purple gold and blue
Living colors every hue
Flowers in the garden of the gods
No one can ever know
If you never saw them grow
This darkness is really full of light
Well beyond the earth,
Beyond all things that gave us birth
We'll Navigate the Seas of the Sun
If God is throwing dice,
And Einstein doesn't mind the chance
We'll Navigate the Seas of the Sun
Infinity runs deep, eternity that we can't keep
We'll Navigate the Seas of the Sun
Flowers of our souls, purple blue and gold we find
To Navigate the Seas of the Sun
So we know who we are, even in this frozen waste
We'll Navigate the Seas of the Sun
Living in this place, staring into space we find
We'll Navigate the Seas of the Sun
Well beyond the earth,
Beyond all things that gave us birth
We'll Navigate the Seas of the Sun
If Einstein's throwing dice,
and God doesn't mind the chance
We'll Navigate the Seas of the Sun
Flowers of our souls, purple blue and gold we find
We'll Navigate the Seas of the Sun
And who we were before -
Eternity that we can't keep
We'll Navigate the Seas of the Sun.
Lingers at the borders of our minds
Mysteries spinning in the dark
In the frozen emptiness of time
We were lost and we never knew
Who we were or what we left behind
Living half-lives we were blind
To the new frontiers that opened up our eyes
To find our minds were spinning
Souls entwined in a spiral dance
The ancient ways have found us
Again to give us one last chance
Living in this place
Staring into space we find
We might share the corners of our lives
Infinity runs deep
Eternity that we can't keep
Melting through the frozen wastes of time
So we go and will not return
To navigate the seas of the sun
Our children will go on and on
To navigate the seas of the sun
So we go and will not return
To navigate the seas of the sun
Our children will go on and on
To navigate the seas of the sun
We can't go on tomorrow
Living death by gravity
Couldn't stand it anymore
We'll sail our ships to distant shores
Purple gold and blue
Living colors every hue
Flowers in the garden of the gods
No one can ever know
If you never saw them grow
This darkness is really full of light
Well beyond the earth,
Beyond all things that gave us birth
We'll Navigate the Seas of the Sun
If God is throwing dice,
And Einstein doesn't mind the chance
We'll Navigate the Seas of the Sun
Infinity runs deep, eternity that we can't keep
We'll Navigate the Seas of the Sun
Flowers of our souls, purple blue and gold we find
To Navigate the Seas of the Sun
So we know who we are, even in this frozen waste
We'll Navigate the Seas of the Sun
Living in this place, staring into space we find
We'll Navigate the Seas of the Sun
Well beyond the earth,
Beyond all things that gave us birth
We'll Navigate the Seas of the Sun
If Einstein's throwing dice,
and God doesn't mind the chance
We'll Navigate the Seas of the Sun
Flowers of our souls, purple blue and gold we find
We'll Navigate the Seas of the Sun
And who we were before -
Eternity that we can't keep
We'll Navigate the Seas of the Sun.
River Of No Return lyrics - Bruce Dickenson
Break the bread and drink the wine
Seize the chalice, suck the poison vine
There is frost in every sunbeam
Water flows from the earth to sky
Looking down on every rose
Nothing moves, the wheel of heaven turns
As our fingers leave their trace
We are gods in a world we dared embrace
Now we're lost, you can’t disguise, the river of no return
Now it's time you realize, the river of no return
Glowing embers of our ancient lives
We struggle hard, we live to turn the tide
Living longer in the astral waste
We stare each other, we look death in the face
All my life, in front of you
Lonely secrets hidden from your view
Now we orbit a different sun
For eternity, doomed to tell no one
Now we're lost, you can’t disguise, the river of no return
Now it's time you realize, the river of no return
Now I'm truly all alone
Canyon walls and the river of no return
I'm amazed at what I am
I never knew the feelings I ignored
Now we're lost, you can’t disguise, the river of no return
Now it's time we realize, the river of no return
And the anguish drives me on, I wish I could return
All the love that washed away
Down the river of no return
Seize the chalice, suck the poison vine
There is frost in every sunbeam
Water flows from the earth to sky
Looking down on every rose
Nothing moves, the wheel of heaven turns
As our fingers leave their trace
We are gods in a world we dared embrace
Now we're lost, you can’t disguise, the river of no return
Now it's time you realize, the river of no return
Glowing embers of our ancient lives
We struggle hard, we live to turn the tide
Living longer in the astral waste
We stare each other, we look death in the face
All my life, in front of you
Lonely secrets hidden from your view
Now we orbit a different sun
For eternity, doomed to tell no one
Now we're lost, you can’t disguise, the river of no return
Now it's time you realize, the river of no return
Now I'm truly all alone
Canyon walls and the river of no return
I'm amazed at what I am
I never knew the feelings I ignored
Now we're lost, you can’t disguise, the river of no return
Now it's time we realize, the river of no return
And the anguish drives me on, I wish I could return
All the love that washed away
Down the river of no return
Power Of The Sun lyrics - Bruce Dickenson
Is this a citadel?
Is this a prison cell?
Who sits at my right hand now?
Who's watching me now?
Who made us live this way?
When do I get my say?
Automation turns us into
Human beings now
Tripping over faces, humanity has fallen
Huddled into doorways
And the streets at dawn
The power of the sun
Keeps us moving on
Spinning ever faster
The city never sleeps
The echoes of the footfalls
Already in the past
Every dawn arrives
The gathering of the tribes
Shattered waves of people
Breaking over city walls
Never out of touch
But always on your own
Trapped inside the logic
Of your own communication zone
What deals have been done?
Who's under the gun?
Stay one step ahead of the next in line
The power of the sun
It keeps us moving on
Spinning ever faster
The city never sleeps
The echoes of the footfalls
Already in the past
The cameras never lie
The ghost of you and I
Already in the past
Inside a picture frame
We'll vanish once again
Now, the dawn is coming fast
The power of the sun
It keeps us moving on
Spinning ever faster
The city never sleeps
The echoes of the footfalls
Already in the past
Is this a prison cell?
Who sits at my right hand now?
Who's watching me now?
Who made us live this way?
When do I get my say?
Automation turns us into
Human beings now
Tripping over faces, humanity has fallen
Huddled into doorways
And the streets at dawn
The power of the sun
Keeps us moving on
Spinning ever faster
The city never sleeps
The echoes of the footfalls
Already in the past
Every dawn arrives
The gathering of the tribes
Shattered waves of people
Breaking over city walls
Never out of touch
But always on your own
Trapped inside the logic
Of your own communication zone
What deals have been done?
Who's under the gun?
Stay one step ahead of the next in line
The power of the sun
It keeps us moving on
Spinning ever faster
The city never sleeps
The echoes of the footfalls
Already in the past
The cameras never lie
The ghost of you and I
Already in the past
Inside a picture frame
We'll vanish once again
Now, the dawn is coming fast
The power of the sun
It keeps us moving on
Spinning ever faster
The city never sleeps
The echoes of the footfalls
Already in the past
Devil On A Hog lyrics - Bruce Dickenson
You wanna know where legends live
At the rainbows end I’ll be there
There’s a place in Innerspace,
That's where I get to you
I'm not the shy, retiring kind
Like a supernova for the blind
I used to sit at God's right ha,d
but I quit that show to do my one night stands...
Coming outta nowhere I'm a Godhead rider
You won’t see my face no more
My machine has left the floor.
Leave my rivals in the dirt
I've seen your world and I got the shirt...
Before I leave and go my way
I’ve loved it but I couldn't stay
There’s nothing left for you to feel
Just remember me
You might see me in Tokyo
To the rings of Saturn, hey let's go...
And you can trip all the lights with me
But your one time chance is never free...
I see you baby once again
Maybe three score years and ten
I'll be driving a different ship
That's when I'll take you down
For your final trip
Coming outta nowhere I'm a godhead rider....
You won't see my face no more
My machine has left the floor
Leave my rivals in the dirt
I've seen your world and I got the shirt...
Before I leave and go my way
I loved it but I couldn't stay
There's nothing left for you to feel
Just remember me....
Coming outta nowhere I'm a Godhead rider...
Coming outta nowhere I'm a Godhead rider...
You won't see my face no more
My machine has left the floor
Leave my rivals in the dirt
I've seen your world and I got the shirt...
Before I leave and go my way
I loved it but I couldn't stay
There's nothing left for you to feel
Just remember me.
At the rainbows end I’ll be there
There’s a place in Innerspace,
That's where I get to you
I'm not the shy, retiring kind
Like a supernova for the blind
I used to sit at God's right ha,d
but I quit that show to do my one night stands...
Coming outta nowhere I'm a Godhead rider
You won’t see my face no more
My machine has left the floor.
Leave my rivals in the dirt
I've seen your world and I got the shirt...
Before I leave and go my way
I’ve loved it but I couldn't stay
There’s nothing left for you to feel
Just remember me
You might see me in Tokyo
To the rings of Saturn, hey let's go...
And you can trip all the lights with me
But your one time chance is never free...
I see you baby once again
Maybe three score years and ten
I'll be driving a different ship
That's when I'll take you down
For your final trip
Coming outta nowhere I'm a godhead rider....
You won't see my face no more
My machine has left the floor
Leave my rivals in the dirt
I've seen your world and I got the shirt...
Before I leave and go my way
I loved it but I couldn't stay
There's nothing left for you to feel

Coming outta nowhere I'm a Godhead rider...
Coming outta nowhere I'm a Godhead rider...
You won't see my face no more
My machine has left the floor
Leave my rivals in the dirt
I've seen your world and I got the shirt...
Before I leave and go my way
I loved it but I couldn't stay
There's nothing left for you to feel
Just remember me.
Believil lyrics - Bruce Dickenson
Smoking, resting on its grave
The carcass rusting where it lies
No more truth, no honest games
The serpent writhes within us all
Lava streams of molten flesh
Into their mountain homes retire
Now sleeping eyes of death awake
Your drug of choice, truth or lie
I believe you and me
I believe evil
I believe you will see
I believe evil
What does not kill it
Makes it strong
The carcass stirs
It will not die
It feeds on you
It feeds on me
I know his name
You know mine too
I believe you and me
I believe evil
I believe you will see
I believe evil
I believe you and me
I believe evil
I believe you will see
I believe evil
The carcass rusting where it lies
No more truth, no honest games
The serpent writhes within us all
Lava streams of molten flesh
Into their mountain homes retire
Now sleeping eyes of death awake
Your drug of choice, truth or lie
I believe you and me
I believe evil
I believe you will see
I believe evil
What does not kill it
Makes it strong
The carcass stirs
It will not die
It feeds on you
It feeds on me
I know his name
You know mine too
I believe you and me
I believe evil
I believe you will see
I believe evil
I believe you and me
I believe evil
I believe you will see
I believe evil
A Tyranny Of Souls lyrics - Bruce Dickenson
When shall we three meet again?
In thunder, lightning, or in rain?
When the hurlyburly's done?
When the battle's lost, not won?
A tyranny of souls
That love has lost
A tyranny of souls
A Pentecost
Speaking tongues of fire
Enflaming our desires
Watching as we die
Who rips the child out from the womb?
Who raised the dagger, who plays the tune?
At the crack of doom on judgment day
No ocean could wash my sins away
A tyranny of souls
That love has lost
A tyranny of souls
A Pentecost
Speaking tongues of fire
Enflaming our desires
Watching as we die
On our own cross
A tyranny of souls
We are the black space
We are the black light
We shine where no others dare
Killin' my head with the neon
Suffering my fate for no reason
No is a relative stranger to my life
Deeds of the Faithful
Seeds of betrayal
Hammer the nail into my hand
Anger is ruler in my land
I am the killer of weakness in my head
We are the black light
We are the black space
A tyranny of souls
That love has lost
A tyranny of souls
A Pentecost
Speaking tongues of fire
Enflaming our desires
Watching as we die
On our own cross
A tyranny of souls
A tyranny of souls
That love has lost
A tyranny of souls
A Pentecost
Speaking tongues of fire
Enflaming our desires
Watching as we die
In thunder, lightning, or in rain?
When the hurlyburly's done?
When the battle's lost, not won?
A tyranny of souls
That love has lost
A tyranny of souls
A Pentecost
Speaking tongues of fire
Enflaming our desires
Watching as we die
Who rips the child out from the womb?
Who raised the dagger, who plays the tune?
At the crack of doom on judgment day
No ocean could wash my sins away
A tyranny of souls
That love has lost
A tyranny of souls
A Pentecost
Speaking tongues of fire
Enflaming our desires
Watching as we die
On our own cross
A tyranny of souls
We are the black space
We are the black light
We shine where no others dare
Killin' my head with the neon
Suffering my fate for no reason
No is a relative stranger to my life
Deeds of the Faithful
Seeds of betrayal
Hammer the nail into my hand
Anger is ruler in my land
I am the killer of weakness in my head
We are the black light
We are the black space
A tyranny of souls
That love has lost
A tyranny of souls
A Pentecost
Speaking tongues of fire
Enflaming our desires
Watching as we die
On our own cross
A tyranny of souls
A tyranny of souls
That love has lost
A tyranny of souls
A Pentecost
Speaking tongues of fire
Enflaming our desires
Watching as we die
Eternal lyrics - Bruce Dickenson
At the edge of space the world is curved
Like a halo
See a blackbird flying now, see it now... through my window
And so the rocket man came down to land
From the unknown
On the ground he never found the truth...
Turned his eyes...
To the skies...
We were eternal back in those days
But now we are memories
They hide us away
But we were the only ones
Never forget, those fallen heroes
Never again...
At the edge of space the world is curved
Like a halo
See a blackbird flying now,
See it now... through my window
And so the rocket man came down to land
From the unknown
On the ground he never found the truth...
Turned his eyes...
To the skies...
We were eternal back in those days
But now we are memories
They hide us away
We were the only ones
Never forget, those fallen heroes
Never again...
We are at peace now...
In the deep blue...
In the deep blue...
In the deep blue...
We were eternal back in those days
But now we are memories
They hide us away
Now I'm the only one
Never forget, those fallen heroes
Never again...
Never again...
We were eternal...
Never again...
We were eternal...
Never again...
We were eternal...
Never again...
Never again...
Never again...
Like a halo
See a blackbird flying now, see it now... through my window
And so the rocket man came down to land
From the unknown
On the ground he never found the truth...
Turned his eyes...
To the skies...
We were eternal back in those days
But now we are memories
They hide us away
But we were the only ones
Never forget, those fallen heroes
Never again...
At the edge of space the world is curved
Like a halo
See a blackbird flying now,
See it now... through my window
And so the rocket man came down to land
From the unknown
On the ground he never found the truth...
Turned his eyes...
To the skies...
We were eternal back in those days
But now we are memories
They hide us away
We were the only ones
Never forget, those fallen heroes
Never again...
We are at peace now...
In the deep blue...
In the deep blue...
In the deep blue...
We were eternal back in those days
But now we are memories
They hide us away
Now I'm the only one
Never forget, those fallen heroes
Never again...
Never again...
We were eternal...
Never again...
We were eternal...
Never again...
We were eternal...
Never again...
Never again...
Never again...
King In Crimson lyrics - Bruce Dickenson
In the darkness, the raven's head
In the courtyard clothed in fear
I see gates that are opening
There's only one way out of here
Daylight has come
The night has come
See his twisted sons and daughters
Writhing slowly in Satan's mire
If you only could see the visions
The trembling world I now despise
As the veil reveals the outer darkness
I am sucked into the walls of flame
Arise, awake
The King in Crimson comes
Arise awake
The King in Crimson, crimson comes
He knows the weakness that you can't fight
The stone of night that weighs you down
If only you could see the visions
His hand is death if you take it now
As you scream into the web of silence
There is nothing that can save you now
Arise, awake
The King in Crimson comes
Arise, awake
The King in Crimson comes
Arise, awake
The King in Crimson comes
Arise, awake
The King in Crimson, crimson comes
As you scream into the web of silence
There is nothing that can save you now
Arise, awake
The King in Crimson comes
Arise, awake
The King in Crimson comes
Arise, awake
The King in Crimson, crimson comes
To your window he comes
At your window I come
In the courtyard clothed in fear
I see gates that are opening
There's only one way out of here
Daylight has come
The night has come
See his twisted sons and daughters
Writhing slowly in Satan's mire
If you only could see the visions
The trembling world I now despise
As the veil reveals the outer darkness
I am sucked into the walls of flame
Arise, awake
The King in Crimson comes
Arise awake
The King in Crimson, crimson comes
He knows the weakness that you can't fight
The stone of night that weighs you down
If only you could see the visions
His hand is death if you take it now
As you scream into the web of silence
There is nothing that can save you now
Arise, awake
The King in Crimson comes
Arise, awake
The King in Crimson comes
Arise, awake
The King in Crimson comes
Arise, awake
The King in Crimson, crimson comes
As you scream into the web of silence
There is nothing that can save you now
Arise, awake
The King in Crimson comes
Arise, awake
The King in Crimson comes
Arise, awake
The King in Crimson, crimson comes
To your window he comes
At your window I come
Chemical Wedding lyrics - Bruce Dickenson
How happy is the human soul
Not enslaved by dull control
Left to dream and roam and play
Shed the guilt of former days
Walking on the foggy shore
Watch the waves come rolling home
Through the veil of pale moonlight
My shadow stretches out its hand
And so we lay, we lay in the same grave
Our chemical wedding day
And so we lay, we lay in the same grave
Our chemical wedding day
Floating in the endless blue
My seed of doubt I leave to you
Let it wither on the ground
Treat it like a plague you found
All my dreams that were outside
In living colour, now alive
And all the lighthouses
Their beams converge to guide me home
And so we lay, we lay in the same grave
Our chemical wedding day
And so we lay, we lay in the same grave
Our chemical wedding day
And so we lay, we lay in the same grave
Our chemical wedding day
And so we lay, we lay in the same grave
Our chemical wedding day
And so we lay, we lay in the same grave
Our chemical wedding day
And so we lay, we lay in the same grave
Our Chemical wedding day
Not enslaved by dull control
Left to dream and roam and play
Shed the guilt of former days
Walking on the foggy shore
Watch the waves come rolling home
Through the veil of pale moonlight
My shadow stretches out its hand
And so we lay, we lay in the same grave
Our chemical wedding day
And so we lay, we lay in the same grave
Our chemical wedding day
Floating in the endless blue
My seed of doubt I leave to you
Let it wither on the ground
Treat it like a plague you found
All my dreams that were outside
In living colour, now alive
And all the lighthouses
Their beams converge to guide me home
And so we lay, we lay in the same grave
Our chemical wedding day
And so we lay, we lay in the same grave
Our chemical wedding day
And so we lay, we lay in the same grave
Our chemical wedding day
And so we lay, we lay in the same grave
Our chemical wedding day
And so we lay, we lay in the same grave
Our chemical wedding day
And so we lay, we lay in the same grave
Our Chemical wedding day
The Tower lyrics - Bruce Dickenson
There are twelve commandments
There are twelve divisions
Twelve are the pagans who have mapped the sky
In the outer circle
To the inner sanctum
From the octave at the end of time
The fountain, the trinity
The pilgrim is searching for blood
To look for his own free will
The stone of infinity, washed in the flood
Lovers in the tower
The moon and sun divided
And the hanged man smiles
Lovers in the tower
The moon and sun divided
Let the fool decide
In the atom circle
Where we break the stars
Hammer into anvil, stuffing out the sun
Witness all the killing
See the birth of Mars
Our religion thrown into the fire
The fountain, the trinity
The pilgrim is searching for blood
To look for his own free will
The stone of infinity, washed in the flood
Lovers in the tower
The moon and sun divided
The hanged man smiles
Lovers in the tower
The moon and sun divided
The magician laughs
Lovers in the tower
The moon and sun divided
And the priestess kneels
Lovers in the tower
The moon and sun divided
Let the fool decide
Lovers in the tower
The moon and sun divided
And the hanged man smiles
Lovers in the tower
The moon and sun divided
Let the fool decide
Lovers in the tower
The moon and sun divided
The priestess kneels to receive
Lovers in the tower
The moon and sun divided
The magician laughs
There are twelve divisions
Twelve are the pagans who have mapped the sky
In the outer circle
To the inner sanctum
From the octave at the end of time
The fountain, the trinity
The pilgrim is searching for blood
To look for his own free will
The stone of infinity, washed in the flood
Lovers in the tower
The moon and sun divided
And the hanged man smiles
Lovers in the tower
The moon and sun divided
Let the fool decide
In the atom circle
Where we break the stars
Hammer into anvil, stuffing out the sun
Witness all the killing
See the birth of Mars
Our religion thrown into the fire
The fountain, the trinity
The pilgrim is searching for blood
To look for his own free will
The stone of infinity, washed in the flood
Lovers in the tower
The moon and sun divided
The hanged man smiles
Lovers in the tower
The moon and sun divided
The magician laughs
Lovers in the tower
The moon and sun divided
And the priestess kneels
Lovers in the tower
The moon and sun divided
Let the fool decide
Lovers in the tower
The moon and sun divided
And the hanged man smiles
Lovers in the tower
The moon and sun divided
Let the fool decide
Lovers in the tower
The moon and sun divided
The priestess kneels to receive
Lovers in the tower
The moon and sun divided
The magician laughs
Killing Floor lyrics - Bruce Dickenson
So this is dreamtime, and all is quiet
So this is dreamtime, and all is night
You've never been held by the hand of God
Who's rocking the cradle, if he is not?
He turned the oil into his blood
Panzer divisions burning in the mud
The stain of freedom, he's washed it out
Who's rocking the cradle, I have no doubt
Sleeping eyes awake
To see his hooded gaze
Whispers on the wind
The darker side of ecstasy
Satan has left his killing floor
Satan has left his killing floor
Satan, his fires burn no more
Satan has left his killing floor
So now it's dreamtime for you tonight
So now it's dreamtime, and all is quiet
You've never been held by the hand of god
Who's rocking your cradle, if he is not?
Sleeping eyes awake
To see his hooded gaze
Whispers on the wind
The never-ending breath goodbye
Satan has left his killing floor
Satan has left his killing floor
Satan, his fires burn no more
Satan is coming back for more
Satan has left his killing floor
Satan has left his killing floor
So this is dreamtime, and all is night
You've never been held by the hand of God
Who's rocking the cradle, if he is not?
He turned the oil into his blood
Panzer divisions burning in the mud
The stain of freedom, he's washed it out
Who's rocking the cradle, I have no doubt
Sleeping eyes awake
To see his hooded gaze
Whispers on the wind
The darker side of ecstasy
Satan has left his killing floor
Satan has left his killing floor
Satan, his fires burn no more
Satan has left his killing floor
So now it's dreamtime for you tonight
So now it's dreamtime, and all is quiet
You've never been held by the hand of god
Who's rocking your cradle, if he is not?
Sleeping eyes awake
To see his hooded gaze
Whispers on the wind
The never-ending breath goodbye
Satan has left his killing floor
Satan has left his killing floor
Satan, his fires burn no more
Satan is coming back for more
Satan has left his killing floor
Satan has left his killing floor
Book Of Thel lyrics - Bruce Dickenson
The mark is on you now
The furnace sealed inside your head
Melting from the inside now
Waxy tears run down your face
The whore that never told her tale
Relives it every night with you
Far off stands the lamb and waits
For the wolf to come and end its life
Stand inside the temple
As the book of Thel is opening
The priestess stands before you
Offering her hand out, she's rising
Come the dawning of the dead
In famine and in war
Now the harlot womb of death
Spits out its rotten core
Serpent on the altar now
Has wrapped itself around your spine
So you look into its mouth
And you kiss the pearly fangs divine
Happy that your end is swift
The weeping virgin cries in bliss
The snake and priestess, they are one
The veil of flesh is ripped undone
Stand inside the temple
As the book of Thel is opening
The priestess stands before you
Offering her hand out, she's rising
Come the dawning of the dead
In famine and in war
Now the harlot womb of death
Spits out its rotten core
By the pricking of my thumbs
Something wicked this way comes
And when sleep takes you tonight
Will you wake to see the light...?
The burning sweat of poison tears
The river flowing red with blood
The cradle-robbing hand of death
Caresses every dreaming head
Waiting for the marriage hearse
To take you to the funeral pyre
So you burn the family tree
The generations burning higher
Stand inside the temple
As the book of Thel is opening
The priestess stands before you
Offering her hand out, she's rising
Come the dawning of the dead
In famine and in war
Now the harlot womb of death
Spits out its rotten core
By the pricking of my thumbs
Something wicked this way comes
And when sleep takes you tonight
Will you wake to see the light
By the dawning of the dead...
By the dawning of the dead...
By the dawning of the dead...
By the dawning of the dead...
What demon hath formed this abominable void...
This soul-shuddering vacuum?
Some said it is Urizen -
But unknown, abstracted, brooding secret
The dark power hid
The furnace sealed inside your head
Melting from the inside now
Waxy tears run down your face
The whore that never told her tale
Relives it every night with you
Far off stands the lamb and waits
For the wolf to come and end its life
Stand inside the temple
As the book of Thel is opening
The priestess stands before you
Offering her hand out, she's rising
Come the dawning of the dead
In famine and in war
Now the harlot womb of death
Spits out its rotten core
Serpent on the altar now
Has wrapped itself around your spine
So you look into its mouth
And you kiss the pearly fangs divine
Happy that your end is swift
The weeping virgin cries in bliss
The snake and priestess, they are one
The veil of flesh is ripped undone
Stand inside the temple
As the book of Thel is opening
The priestess stands before you
Offering her hand out, she's rising
Come the dawning of the dead
In famine and in war
Now the harlot womb of death
Spits out its rotten core
By the pricking of my thumbs
Something wicked this way comes
And when sleep takes you tonight
Will you wake to see the light...?
The burning sweat of poison tears
The river flowing red with blood
The cradle-robbing hand of death
Caresses every dreaming head
Waiting for the marriage hearse
To take you to the funeral pyre
So you burn the family tree
The generations burning higher
Stand inside the temple
As the book of Thel is opening

Offering her hand out, she's rising
Come the dawning of the dead
In famine and in war
Now the harlot womb of death

By the pricking of my thumbs
Something wicked this way comes
And when sleep takes you tonight
Will you wake to see the light
By the dawning of the dead...
By the dawning of the dead...
By the dawning of the dead...
By the dawning of the dead...
What demon hath formed this abominable void...
This soul-shuddering vacuum?
Some said it is Urizen -
But unknown, abstracted, brooding secret
The dark power hid
Gates Of Urizen lyrics - Bruce Dickenson
As above, so below
All things come from the one
Now you are the victim
Carried by the wind, rooted in the ground
If you want to learn the secrets
Close your eyes
The ladder falls away
At the gates of Urizen
Fallen eagles blaze
At the gates of Urizen
Eternal twins are damned
At the gates of Urizen
Separate lives begin
In every woman is a man
From the moon come silver ghosts
Spectres of the blood
From my spirit comes the darkness
From the void, the crimson fortress rises
At the gates of Urizen
The ladder falls away
At the gates of Urizen
Fallen eagles blaze
At the gates of Urizen
Eternal twins are damned
At the gates of Urizen
Separate lives begin
At the gates of Urizen
The ladder falls away
At the gates of Urizen
Fallen eagles blaze
At the gates of Urizen
Eternal twins are damned
At the gates of Urizen
Separate lives begin
At the gates of Urizen
The gates of Urizen
The gates of Urizen
At the gates...
All things come from the one
Now you are the victim
Carried by the wind, rooted in the ground
If you want to learn the secrets
Close your eyes
The ladder falls away
At the gates of Urizen
Fallen eagles blaze
At the gates of Urizen
Eternal twins are damned
At the gates of Urizen
Separate lives begin
In every woman is a man
From the moon come silver ghosts
Spectres of the blood
From my spirit comes the darkness
From the void, the crimson fortress rises
At the gates of Urizen
The ladder falls away
At the gates of Urizen
Fallen eagles blaze
At the gates of Urizen
Eternal twins are damned
At the gates of Urizen
Separate lives begin
At the gates of Urizen
The ladder falls away
At the gates of Urizen
Fallen eagles blaze
At the gates of Urizen
Eternal twins are damned
At the gates of Urizen
Separate lives begin
At the gates of Urizen
The gates of Urizen
The gates of Urizen
At the gates...
Jerusalem lyrics - Bruce Dickenson
And did those feet in ancient times
Walk upon England's mountains green?
Was the holy lamb of god
On England's pleasant pastures seen?
And did the countenance divine
Shine forth on our clouded hill?
Was Jerusalem built here
In England's green and pleasant land?
Let it rain
Let it rain
Wash the scales from my eyes
Let it rain
Let it rain
Let me see again...
Bring me my bow of burning gold
Bring me my arrows of desire
I shall not sleep till the clouds unfold
Bring me my chariot of fire
Let it rain
Let it rain
Tears of blood fall out of the sky
Let it rain
Let it rain
Wash me clean again...
From the frozen waters
The king will rise again
With two suns in the sky...
I shall not cease from mental flight
Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand
Till we have built Jerusalem
In England's green and pleasant land
Let it rain
Let it rain
Tears of blood fall out of the sky
Let it rain
Let it rain
Wash me clean again...
See the gleaming spires of the citadel
The king and queen will dwell
In our hearts...
Can Jerusalem be rebuilded here
In this trivial time, in this land of fear?
In Jerusalem, where the grail remains
Walk into the light and dissolve the chains
Jerusalem...
Here is her secret place
From hence she comes forth on the churches in delight
Here is her cup, filled with its poisons
In these horrid veils
And here, her scarlet veil, woven in pestilence and war
Here is Jerusalem, bound in chains
In the dense of Babylon...
Walk upon England's mountains green?
Was the holy lamb of god
On England's pleasant pastures seen?
And did the countenance divine
Shine forth on our clouded hill?
Was Jerusalem built here
In England's green and pleasant land?
Let it rain
Let it rain
Wash the scales from my eyes
Let it rain
Let it rain
Let me see again...
Bring me my bow of burning gold
Bring me my arrows of desire
I shall not sleep till the clouds unfold
Bring me my chariot of fire
Let it rain
Let it rain
Tears of blood fall out of the sky
Let it rain
Let it rain
Wash me clean again...
From the frozen waters
The king will rise again
With two suns in the sky...
I shall not cease from mental flight
Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand
Till we have built Jerusalem
In England's green and pleasant land
Let it rain
Let it rain
Tears of blood fall out of the sky
Let it rain
Let it rain
Wash me clean again...
See the gleaming spires of the citadel
The king and queen will dwell
In our hearts...
Can Jerusalem be rebuilded here
In this trivial time, in this land of fear?
In Jerusalem, where the grail remains
Walk into the light and dissolve the chains
Jerusalem...
Here is her secret place
From hence she comes forth on the churches in delight
Here is her cup, filled with its poisons
In these horrid veils
And here, her scarlet veil, woven in pestilence and war
Here is Jerusalem, bound in chains
In the dense of Babylon...
Trumpets Of Jericho lyrics - Bruce Dickenson
This is the maze of life
This is the maze of death
This is the matrix of eternity
The demon never sleeps
The demon never lies
He beats my heart and leaves no echo
What heavy burden holds me back
Every step along the track?
Fear that reaches deep inside of me
At the trumpets of Jericho
Still the walls remain
At the trumpets of Jericho
Avalon's in chains
This is the river of space
This is the river of time
Chase the dragons of infinity
Atlas stands and laughs
Throws his burden down
Rolls the earth in the inferno
Fingers holding onto cracks
The howling wind that blows us back
Sucked into the grinding wheels of hell
At the trumpets of Jericho
Still the walls remain
Blow the trumpets of Jericho
Still the walls remain
At the end of the rainbow
There the grail remains
Sound the trumpets of Jericho
Avalon's in chains
As they drag you down
In your clothes of lead
See the golden light
Flashing overhead
Mocking you
Do you know who you are
In your robes of skin?
How many creatures live inside you?
Man is born forever free
But is everywhere in chains
Trapped inside this earthly prison cell
At the trumpets of Jericho
Still the walls remain
At the trumpets of Jericho
Avalon's in chains
At the trumpets of Jericho
There the grail remains
At the trumpets of Jericho
Still the walls remain
Still the walls remain
Still the walls remain
Still the walls remain
The silence of the tomb
The wheel of fortune round
This is the maze of death
This is the matrix of eternity
The demon never sleeps
The demon never lies
He beats my heart and leaves no echo
What heavy burden holds me back
Every step along the track?
Fear that reaches deep inside of me
At the trumpets of Jericho
Still the walls remain
At the trumpets of Jericho
Avalon's in chains
This is the river of space
This is the river of time
Chase the dragons of infinity
Atlas stands and laughs
Throws his burden down
Rolls the earth in the inferno
Fingers holding onto cracks
The howling wind that blows us back
Sucked into the grinding wheels of hell
At the trumpets of Jericho
Still the walls remain
Blow the trumpets of Jericho
Still the walls remain
At the end of the rainbow
There the grail remains
Sound the trumpets of Jericho
Avalon's in chains
As they drag you down
In your clothes of lead
See the golden light
Flashing overhead
Mocking you
Do you know who you are
In your robes of skin?
How many creatures live inside you?
Man is born forever free
But is everywhere in chains
Trapped inside this earthly prison cell
At the trumpets of Jericho
Still the walls remain
At the trumpets of Jericho
Avalon's in chains
At the trumpets of Jericho
There the grail remains
At the trumpets of Jericho
Still the walls remain
Still the walls remain
Still the walls remain
Still the walls remain
The silence of the tomb
The wheel of fortune round
Machine Men lyrics - Bruce Dickenson
Bring the toys out for the boys
Let the children make their noise
See the monsters in their metal cages
Turn the lights down in your soul
Cut the power to your heart
See the carcass in its dying rages
Machine men, cannibals of rust
Machine men, iron bites the dust
Machine men, built with feet of clay
Are coming to sweep you all away
What bitter vampire made you this?
Gave you life with its deathly kiss
Ground your limbs to bloody stew
Made a new machine of you
Turned a nightmare into day
Sucks your breath, takes your life away
Beating harder through your veins
Someone else's cold remains
Machine men, cannibals of rust
Machine men, iron bites the dust
Machine men, built with feet of clay
Are coming to sweep you all away
They're coming to sweep you all away
Machine men, cannibals of rust
Machine men, iron bites the dust
Machine men, built with feet of clay
Are coming to take you all away
Machine men, cannibals of rust
Machine men, iron bites the dust
Machine men, built with feet of clay
Are coming to take you all away
They're coming to sweep you all away
Iron - in the soul
Let the children make their noise
See the monsters in their metal cages
Turn the lights down in your soul
Cut the power to your heart
See the carcass in its dying rages
Machine men, cannibals of rust
Machine men, iron bites the dust
Machine men, built with feet of clay
Are coming to sweep you all away
What bitter vampire made you this?
Gave you life with its deathly kiss
Ground your limbs to bloody stew
Made a new machine of you
Turned a nightmare into day
Sucks your breath, takes your life away
Beating harder through your veins
Someone else's cold remains
Machine men, cannibals of rust
Machine men, iron bites the dust
Machine men, built with feet of clay
Are coming to sweep you all away
They're coming to sweep you all away
Machine men, cannibals of rust
Machine men, iron bites the dust
Machine men, built with feet of clay
Are coming to take you all away
Machine men, cannibals of rust
Machine men, iron bites the dust
Machine men, built with feet of clay
Are coming to take you all away
They're coming to sweep you all away
Iron - in the soul
The Alchemist lyrics - Bruce Dickenson
Wash away the blackness with the silver rain
Don't turn away - don't turn away
Wash away the blackness with the silver rain
Don't turn away - don't try to hide...
Sulphurous and burning, spitting out the sun
The beginning of creation, of the golden one
A window to the west, a blazing star above
In Taurus we begin it and the ladder has begun
Don't try and blame me for your sins
For the sun has burned me black
Your hollow lives - this world in which we live
I throw it back
Four-headed dragon for the four degrees of fire
Purify the insane, bring the solution ever higher
Bring me all the elements, spread them round my head
Bring me mad men's bodies, I will break them all like bread
Don't try and blame me for your sins
For the sun has burned me black
Your hollow lives - this world in which we live
I hurl it back
Don't try and blame me for your sins
For the sun has burned me black
Your hollow lives - this world in which we live
I throw it back
Don't try and blame me for your games
Your games are death
My world is light - the angels fill my eyes
With every breath...
And so we lay
We lay in the same grave
Our chemical wedding day
And so we lay
We lay in the same grave
Our chemical wedding day
And so we lay
We lay in the same grave
Our chemical wedding day
And so we lay
We lay in the same grave
Our chemical wedding day...
And all this vegetable world appeared on my left foot
As a bright sandal, formed immortal of precious stones and gold
I stooped down, and bound it on
To walk forward through eternity...
Don't turn away - don't turn away
Wash away the blackness with the silver rain
Don't turn away - don't try to hide...
Sulphurous and burning, spitting out the sun
The beginning of creation, of the golden one
A window to the west, a blazing star above
In Taurus we begin it and the ladder has begun
Don't try and blame me for your sins
For the sun has burned me black
Your hollow lives - this world in which we live
I throw it back
Four-headed dragon for the four degrees of fire
Purify the insane, bring the solution ever higher
Bring me all the elements, spread them round my head
Bring me mad men's bodies, I will break them all like bread
Don't try and blame me for your sins
For the sun has burned me black
Your hollow lives - this world in which we live
I hurl it back
Don't try and blame me for your sins
For the sun has burned me black
Your hollow lives - this world in which we live
I throw it back
Don't try and blame me for your games
Your games are death
My world is light - the angels fill my eyes
With every breath...
And so we lay
We lay in the same grave
Our chemical wedding day
And so we lay
We lay in the same grave
Our chemical wedding day
And so we lay
We lay in the same grave
Our chemical wedding day
And so we lay
We lay in the same grave
Our chemical wedding day...
And all this vegetable world appeared on my left foot
As a bright sandal, formed immortal of precious stones and gold
I stooped down, and bound it on
To walk forward through eternity...
Return Of The King lyrics - Bruce Dickenson
A 100 years of toil and pain
To pull a stone upright again
Uproot from its mountain home
Taken to this sacred circle
Is there a secret in the stone?
A message in the hills
Is there a secret in the stones?
A message long ago
I know the king will come again
From the shadow to the sun
Burning hillsides from the beltane fires
I know the king will come again
When all that glitters turn to rust
Uther pendragon standing fast beside you
The sun the moon we worshipped here
A calendar of fear
Gazing across the channel sea
To see the beacons burning brightly
Is that a shadow on the hill?
Or a phantom in the mere
What is the meaning of these stones?
Why do they stand alone?
I know the king will come again
From the shadow to the sun
Burning hillsides with the beltane fires
I know the king will come again
When all that glitters turn to rust
Uther pendragon standing fast beside you
Is that a shadow on the hill?
Or a phantom in the mere
What is the meaning of these stones?
Why do they stand alone?
I know the king will come again
From the shadow to the sun
Burning hillsides with the beltane fires
I know the king will come again
When all that glitters turn to rust
Uther pendragon standing fast beside you
I know the king will come again
I know the king will come again
To pull a stone upright again
Uproot from its mountain home
Taken to this sacred circle
Is there a secret in the stone?
A message in the hills
Is there a secret in the stones?
A message long ago
I know the king will come again
From the shadow to the sun
Burning hillsides from the beltane fires
I know the king will come again
When all that glitters turn to rust
Uther pendragon standing fast beside you
The sun the moon we worshipped here
A calendar of fear
Gazing across the channel sea
To see the beacons burning brightly
Is that a shadow on the hill?
Or a phantom in the mere
What is the meaning of these stones?
Why do they stand alone?
I know the king will come again
From the shadow to the sun
Burning hillsides with the beltane fires
I know the king will come again
When all that glitters turn to rust
Uther pendragon standing fast beside you
Is that a shadow on the hill?
Or a phantom in the mere
What is the meaning of these stones?
Why do they stand alone?
I know the king will come again
From the shadow to the sun
Burning hillsides with the beltane fires
I know the king will come again
When all that glitters turn to rust
Uther pendragon standing fast beside you
I know the king will come again
I know the king will come again
Real World lyrics - Bruce Dickenson
How many lifetimes, how many beginnings
How many lovers, how many threats
How many religions to keep us all guessing
Give me a reason. Why? Hell is a reason. Why?
The real world, you've got to fight to see it through
The real world, it's not the cages in the zoo
The real world, is buried underneath your feet
The real world, the real world
Too many people try to sell you their cages
Gilding the bars 'til the jailer arrives
If living in zoos is your idea of outrageous
Don't pick any animal, I'll be the wild one
The real world, you've got to fight to see it through
The real world, it's likes the cages in the zoo
The real world can leave you hanging by a thread
The real world, the real world
The real world, you've got to fight to see it through
The real world, it's likes the cages in the zoo
The real world can leave you hanging by a thread
The real world, the real world
[x2]
The real world, the real world [x2]
How many lovers, how many threats
How many religions to keep us all guessing
Give me a reason. Why? Hell is a reason. Why?
The real world, you've got to fight to see it through
The real world, it's not the cages in the zoo
The real world, is buried underneath your feet
The real world, the real world
Too many people try to sell you their cages
Gilding the bars 'til the jailer arrives
If living in zoos is your idea of outrageous
Don't pick any animal, I'll be the wild one
The real world, you've got to fight to see it through
The real world, it's likes the cages in the zoo
The real world can leave you hanging by a thread
The real world, the real world
The real world, you've got to fight to see it through
The real world, it's likes the cages in the zoo
The real world can leave you hanging by a thread
The real world, the real world
[x2]
The real world, the real world [x2]
Confeos lyrics - Bruce Dickenson
Story of one strange night in Japan...
In the smoky haze, she was dancing free
Should've ordered one but I ordered three
Then I watched the room, and it was dancing too
So I ordered four and I hit the floor
On the count of five, I was still alive
At the stroke of six, I picked a drink to mix
At the stroke of seven, I fell out of heaven
As the clock struck eight, I felt the hand of fate
You're in the spotlight
And I'm running out of time
You're in the spotlight
The wheels of your life starts now
Tell me what sin was on your mind, yeah
May I approach from behind, yeah
Tell me what sin was on your mind, yeah
Start confessing to your crimes, yeah
Well, I tried to come but I was already there
Did I arrive too soon? Well better late than never
When I come again, you will know it's time
Cause I have to go to catch another rhyme
Things are getting tight, maybe one more stroke
Any last words from the fiery folk
You're in the spotlight
And I'm running out of time
You're in the spotlight
The wheels of your life starts now
Tell me what sin is on your mind, yeah
May I approach from behind, yeah
Start confessing to your crimes, yeah
Tell me what sin is on your mind, yeah
Now the wheels of life goes rolling on, into the sun
Now the wheels of life goes rolling on, we roll as one
Tell me what sin is on your mind, yeah
Start confessing to your crimes, yeah
Tell me what sin is on your mind, yeah
Start confessing to your crimes, yeah
In the smoky haze, she was dancing free
Should've ordered one but I ordered three
Then I watched the room, and it was dancing too
So I ordered four and I hit the floor
On the count of five, I was still alive
At the stroke of six, I picked a drink to mix
At the stroke of seven, I fell out of heaven
As the clock struck eight, I felt the hand of fate
You're in the spotlight
And I'm running out of time
You're in the spotlight
The wheels of your life starts now
Tell me what sin was on your mind, yeah
May I approach from behind, yeah
Tell me what sin was on your mind, yeah
Start confessing to your crimes, yeah
Well, I tried to come but I was already there
Did I arrive too soon? Well better late than never
When I come again, you will know it's time
Cause I have to go to catch another rhyme
Things are getting tight, maybe one more stroke
Any last words from the fiery folk
You're in the spotlight
And I'm running out of time
You're in the spotlight
The wheels of your life starts now

May I approach from behind, yeah
Start confessing to your crimes, yeah
Tell me what sin is on your mind, yeah
Now the wheels of life goes rolling on, into the sun
Now the wheels of life goes rolling on, we roll as one
Tell me what sin is on your mind, yeah
Start confessing to your crimes, yeah
Tell me what sin is on your mind, yeah
Start confessing to your crimes, yeah
Freak lyrics - Bruce Dickenson
He rides the wave, a spiral slave
The Prince of Darkness plays his games
You're hypnotized, under velvet skies
He breathes the red wind 'cross your eyes
Who leads you to the dark secret?
Who leads you to the dark secret?
Your life is lost, your soul is damned
But it feels too good to make a stand
That is bad, but this is worse
Let judgment come, you love this curse
When you look at me you're like a god
Swimming in the tide of light
Somersault into the flood
Washing you away
Who leads you to the dark secret?
Who leads you to the dark secret?
Who is your mistress that leads you to the dark secret?
Who is your mistress who leads you to the dark secret?
The Prince of Darkness plays his games
You're hypnotized, under velvet skies
He breathes the red wind 'cross your eyes
Who leads you to the dark secret?
Who leads you to the dark secret?
Your life is lost, your soul is damned
But it feels too good to make a stand
That is bad, but this is worse
Let judgment come, you love this curse
When you look at me you're like a god
Swimming in the tide of light
Somersault into the flood
Washing you away
Who leads you to the dark secret?
Who leads you to the dark secret?
Who is your mistress that leads you to the dark secret?
Who is your mistress who leads you to the dark secret?
Toltec 7 Arrival lyrics - Bruce Dickenson
I mean you no harm
Come closer, learn the truth
Come closer, learn the truth
Come...
Bless me, mother, for I have sinned
Come closer, learn the truth
Come closer, learn the truth
Come...
Bless me, mother, for I have sinned
Star Children lyrics - Bruce Dickenson
I came for nothing before nothing began
Broke the window of existence and became a man
No sympathy for fools
My star is black and burned
I tilt towards the light
I suck your souls into my might
We are star children - coming out of nowhere and to nowhere return
Star children - a hundred million souls snuffed out in one breath
I shiver at the threshold of your waking hour
The knowledge that you seek is my source of power
I live apart from you
But I know the things you do
No angel can save you, how?
You don't need a god 'cause I'm here now
Do I fulfill your deepest need for prophecy?
I am the ruler that you seek
So come to me
Come to me
Star children - coming out of nowhere and to nowhere return
Star children - a hundred million souls sucked out in one breath
Star children - I'm the ruler of existence in your space and time
Star children - to penetrate your future is our only crime
Star...
Broke the window of existence and became a man
No sympathy for fools
My star is black and burned
I tilt towards the light
I suck your souls into my might
We are star children - coming out of nowhere and to nowhere return
Star children - a hundred million souls snuffed out in one breath
I shiver at the threshold of your waking hour
The knowledge that you seek is my source of power
I live apart from you
But I know the things you do
No angel can save you, how?
You don't need a god 'cause I'm here now
Do I fulfill your deepest need for prophecy?
I am the ruler that you seek
So come to me
Come to me
Star children - coming out of nowhere and to nowhere return
Star children - a hundred million souls sucked out in one breath
Star children - I'm the ruler of existence in your space and time
Star children - to penetrate your future is our only crime

Taking The Queen lyrics - Bruce Dickenson
Who stole your heartbeat in the night?
The acolytes fearful in the flickering light
They hold a mirror to catch the breath from your mouth
But your breath was stolen by the wind from the south
Another winter's tale is done
Your immortal lover he's gone
The chalice stolen from her hand
Eternal life at her command
Now all that she rules must sleep...
The howling shriek of death in your eyes
The hawklord and the beast enter your room
The gold will turn to rust
Your empire follows you into your tomb
The wraiths of night caress
And whisper softly now, "We are the dead"
They bear your life away
They tear your heart in two
They've taken the queen
To some better place, so they think
As the flame burns low
Now the flame burns higher
Purifies the love that died
And scared rats closed in a life
Back to the earth, sealing the tomb
Our skeletons rise through the veil of blood
Who summons us now from our graves?
"We are the dead"
The shriek of death in your eyes
The hawklord and the beast enter your room
The wraiths of night caress
And whisper softly now, "We are the dead"
They bear your life away
They've torn your heart in two
They've taken the queen
The acolytes fearful in the flickering light
They hold a mirror to catch the breath from your mouth
But your breath was stolen by the wind from the south
Another winter's tale is done
Your immortal lover he's gone
The chalice stolen from her hand
Eternal life at her command
Now all that she rules must sleep...
The howling shriek of death in your eyes
The hawklord and the beast enter your room
The gold will turn to rust
Your empire follows you into your tomb
The wraiths of night caress
And whisper softly now, "We are the dead"
They bear your life away
They tear your heart in two
They've taken the queen
To some better place, so they think
As the flame burns low
Now the flame burns higher
Purifies the love that died
And scared rats closed in a life
Back to the earth, sealing the tomb
Our skeletons rise through the veil of blood
Who summons us now from our graves?
"We are the dead"
The shriek of death in your eyes
The hawklord and the beast enter your room
The wraiths of night caress
And whisper softly now, "We are the dead"
They bear your life away
They've torn your heart in two
They've taken the queen
Darkside Of Aquarius lyrics - Bruce Dickenson
The first hellrider came
On wings of plenty in the dark
Poured out his poison
And he blew away his mark
The fascist from the east is coming
Mothers, hide your sons
The second hellrider came
From the flaming seas and molten sands
Pipers playing Hell's commands
Poured out his poison
With his promises of promised lands
blackened tongues of lying leaders
Here come the riders
As the wheel of dharma's is running out of time
Here come the riders
As the wheel of time is running out of time
The third hellrider came
Teaching brothers to kill brother man
And the fourth hellrider waits
On an acid trip for an acid world
Wars of old religious fools and superstitious men
Throws some scary Tarot cards and...
Here come the riders
As the wheel of time is running out of time
Here come the riders
As the revolution's stepping into time
The Darkside of Aquarius
Has robbed us of our souls and minds
Here come the riders
As the wheel of time is running out of time
From the starlit sky on a silver sea
A lonely silver surfer comes to push the wheel for me
A lonely silver surfer comes to push the wheel for me
Gotta move, gotta move
Gotta move that wheel right 'round
Gotta move, gotta move
Gotta move that wheel right 'round
Gotta move, gotta move
Gotta move that wheel around
Gotta push the wheel of dharma around
Push the wheel of dharma around
Push the wheel of dharma around
Push the wheel right 'round, right now (yeah)
I've gotta move the wheel of time, I've
Gotta move the wheel of dharma, I've
Gotta move the wheel of dharma, oh
Move that wheel right around
Gotta move the wheel of dharma, I've
Gotta move the wheel of dharma right now
On wings of plenty in the dark
Poured out his poison
And he blew away his mark
The fascist from the east is coming
Mothers, hide your sons
The second hellrider came
From the flaming seas and molten sands
Pipers playing Hell's commands
Poured out his poison
With his promises of promised lands
blackened tongues of lying leaders
Here come the riders
As the wheel of dharma's is running out of time
Here come the riders
As the wheel of time is running out of time
The third hellrider came
Teaching brothers to kill brother man
And the fourth hellrider waits
On an acid trip for an acid world
Wars of old religious fools and superstitious men
Throws some scary Tarot cards and...

Gotta move the wheel of dharma, oh
Move that wheel right around
Gotta move the wheel of dharma, I've
Gotta move the wheel of dharma right now
Road To Hell lyrics - Bruce Dickenson
Slowly bleeding, watch the vortex feeding
Like a swirling vulture on your face
Every hour the unseen rays devour
Your screaming eyes cry out but they are blind
Father, forgive me my sins
Give me the nails, I'll hammer them in
The road to hell is full of good intentions
Say farewell, we may never meet again
The road to hell is full of good intentions
Travel left-hand highway with no sinister regrets
Brave new world of secret fantasy
That hovers just beyond your bloody grasp
Close enough to thrill, the danger of the kill
Price for failure of your will
Father, forgive us our sins
'Cause we're all the junkies who never can win
The road to hell is full of good intentions
Say farewell, we may never meet again
The road to hell is full of good intentions
Travel left-hand highway with no sinister regrets
Father, forgive me my sins
Give me the nails, I'll hammer them in
The road to hell is full of good intentions
Parody of hope is the one that I must kill
We all have to live with our family inventions
Travel left-hand highway with no sinister regrets
The road to hell is full of good intentions
Say farewell, we may never meet again
The road to hell is full of good intentions
Travel left-hand highway with no sinister regrets
Like a swirling vulture on your face
Every hour the unseen rays devour
Your screaming eyes cry out but they are blind
Father, forgive me my sins
Give me the nails, I'll hammer them in
The road to hell is full of good intentions
Say farewell, we may never meet again
The road to hell is full of good intentions
Travel left-hand highway with no sinister regrets
Brave new world of secret fantasy
That hovers just beyond your bloody grasp
Close enough to thrill, the danger of the kill
Price for failure of your will
Father, forgive us our sins
'Cause we're all the junkies who never can win
The road to hell is full of good intentions
Say farewell, we may never meet again
The road to hell is full of good intentions
Travel left-hand highway with no sinister regrets
Father, forgive me my sins
Give me the nails, I'll hammer them in
The road to hell is full of good intentions
Parody of hope is the one that I must kill
We all have to live with our family inventions
Travel left-hand highway with no sinister regrets
The road to hell is full of good intentions
Say farewell, we may never meet again
The road to hell is full of good intentions
Travel left-hand highway with no sinister regrets
Man Of Sorrows lyrics - Bruce Dickenson
Here, in a church, a small boy is kneeling
He prays to a god he does not know, he cannot feel
All of his sins of childhood he will remember
He will not cry, tears he will not cry
Man of sorrows, I won't see your face
Man of sorrows, you left without a trace
His small boy wonders, what was it all about?
Is your journey over - has it just begun?
Vision of a new world from the ashes of the old
"Do what thou wilt!", he screams from his cursed soul
A tortured seer, a prophet of our emptiness
Wondering why, wondering why...
Man of sorrows, I won't see your face
(I won't see your face)
Man of sorrows, you left without a trace
His small boy wonders, what was it all about?
Is your journey over - has it just begun?
A man of sorrows, wrecked
With thoughts that dare not speak their name
Trapped inside a body, made to feel only guilt and shame
His anger all his life - "I hate myself!", he cried
"Do what thou wilt!"
"Do what thou wilt!", he cried
Man of sorrows, I won't see your face
(I won't see your face)
Man of sorrows, you left without a trace
(left without a trace)
His small boy wonders, what was it all about?
Is your journey over - has it just begun?
Man of sorrows, I won't see your face
(I won't see your face)
Man of sorrows, you left without a trace
(left without a trace)
His small boy wonders, what was it all about?
Is your journey over - has it just begun?
Has it just begun?
He prays to a god he does not know, he cannot feel
All of his sins of childhood he will remember
He will not cry, tears he will not cry
Man of sorrows, I won't see your face
Man of sorrows, you left without a trace
His small boy wonders, what was it all about?
Is your journey over - has it just begun?
Vision of a new world from the ashes of the old
"Do what thou wilt!", he screams from his cursed soul
A tortured seer, a prophet of our emptiness
Wondering why, wondering why...
Man of sorrows, I won't see your face
(I won't see your face)
Man of sorrows, you left without a trace
His small boy wonders, what was it all about?
Is your journey over - has it just begun?
A man of sorrows, wrecked
With thoughts that dare not speak their name
Trapped inside a body, made to feel only guilt and shame
His anger all his life - "I hate myself!", he cried
"Do what thou wilt!"
"Do what thou wilt!", he cried
Man of sorrows, I won't see your face
(I won't see your face)
Man of sorrows, you left without a trace
(left without a trace)
His small boy wonders, what was it all about?
Is your journey over - has it just begun?
Man of sorrows, I won't see your face
(I won't see your face)
Man of sorrows, you left without a trace
(left without a trace)
His small boy wonders, what was it all about?
Is your journey over - has it just begun?
Has it just begun?
Accident Of Birth lyrics - Bruce Dickenson
Journey back to the dark side, back into the womb
Back to where the spirits move like vapor from the tomb
The center of the cyclone, blowing out the sun
Break the shackles of your union to the light
I might've had a brother
As I was born, they dragged him under
To the other side of twilight
He's waiting for me now
Nativity was lost on me
I didn't ask, I couldn't see
What created me
What and where and how
Welcome home - it's been too long, we've missed you
Welcome home - we've opened up the gates
Welcome home - to your brothers and sisters
Welcome home - to an accident of birth
Feel our bodies breathing as you try to stop believing
There's nothing you can do about your shadows
You can fight us, you are like us
And your body will betray you
Lay down and die like all the others
Where are the angels and their wings of freedom?
Jesus had his day off when they pulled you through...
Welcome home - it's been too long, we've missed you
Welcome home - we've opened up the gates
Welcome home - to your brothers and sisters
Welcome home - to an accident of birth
(to an accident of birth)
Visions growing dim as the daylight fades away
A spinning twisting black hole it's your dying day
Welcome home - it's been too long, we've missed you
Welcome home - we've opened up the gates
Welcome home - to your brothers and sisters
Welcome home - to an accident of birth
Welcome home - it's been too long, we've missed you
Welcome home - we've opened up the gates
Welcome home - to your brothers and sisters
Welcome home - to an accident of birth
Back to where the spirits move like vapor from the tomb
The center of the cyclone, blowing out the sun
Break the shackles of your union to the light
I might've had a brother
As I was born, they dragged him under
To the other side of twilight
He's waiting for me now
Nativity was lost on me
I didn't ask, I couldn't see
What created me
What and where and how
Welcome home - it's been too long, we've missed you
Welcome home - we've opened up the gates
Welcome home - to your brothers and sisters
Welcome home - to an accident of birth
Feel our bodies breathing as you try to stop believing
There's nothing you can do about your shadows
You can fight us, you are like us
And your body will betray you
Lay down and die like all the others
Where are the angels and their wings of freedom?
Jesus had his day off when they pulled you through...
Welcome home - it's been too long, we've missed you
Welcome home - we've opened up the gates
Welcome home - to your brothers and sisters
Welcome home - to an accident of birth
(to an accident of birth)
Visions growing dim as the daylight fades away
A spinning twisting black hole it's your dying day
Welcome home - it's been too long, we've missed you
Welcome home - we've opened up the gates
Welcome home - to your brothers and sisters
Welcome home - to an accident of birth
Welcome home - it's been too long, we've missed you
Welcome home - we've opened up the gates
Welcome home - to your brothers and sisters
Welcome home - to an accident of birth
Magician lyrics - Bruce Dickenson
I am the teacher, come to teach ya
Take the old words back to you
You were lost, but I found you
And it's your choice what to do
I've learned a few things as I've traveled through the years
Through the door of evermore...
I came through fire, came through water
Through the oily serpent's kiss
Climbed the mountain, chased the dragon
Thrown myself in the abyss
Do I make myself familiar to you now?
'Cause I've been around you
And I'm glad I found you...
I am the living flame, and I teach the holy games
Teach the secret of the dance
Throw the future in the runes
Kick the sand in Satan's face
I put Jesus in his place
Shaman or priest, it's all the same
The Magician is my name
(woah-oh-oh, oh-oh)
The Magician is my name
(woah-oh-oh, oh-oh)
The Magician is my name
(woah-oh-oh, oh-oh)
The Magician is my name
(oh-oh)
And magic is my game
Now I know you, and you know me
We have secrets we can share
We can build a new tomorrow
From the trash of yesterday
It won't be the last time
And I'm glad I found you...
I am the living flame, and I teach the holy games
Teach the secret of the dance
Throw the future in the ruins
Kick the sand in Satan's face
I put Jesus in his place
Shaman or priest, it's all the same
The Magician is my name
(woah-oh-oh, oh-oh)
The Magician is my name
(woah-oh-oh, oh-oh)
The Magician is my name
(woah-oh-oh, oh-oh)
The Magician is my name
(woah-oh-oh, oh-oh)
The Magician is my name
Take the old words back to you
You were lost, but I found you
And it's your choice what to do
I've learned a few things as I've traveled through the years
Through the door of evermore...
I came through fire, came through water
Through the oily serpent's kiss
Climbed the mountain, chased the dragon
Thrown myself in the abyss
Do I make myself familiar to you now?
'Cause I've been around you
And I'm glad I found you...
I am the living flame, and I teach the holy games
Teach the secret of the dance
Throw the future in the runes
Kick the sand in Satan's face
I put Jesus in his place
Shaman or priest, it's all the same
The Magician is my name

The Magician is my name
(woah-oh-oh, oh-oh)
The Magician is my name
Welcome To The Pit lyrics - Bruce Dickenson
You come on down to the pit
Come on down to where the vipers spit
I've been waiting for you down here
Cover your eyes with the velvet hands of darkness
Cover your eyes with the velvet hands of darkness
I don't even know your name
You won't even see my face
But you choose to play my games
Welcome to the hard place
I'll bring you back from the brink
Are you surprised in every way that you like it?
Are you surprised that you want it?
(ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!)
Cover your lips with the wicked tongue of silence
Cover your lips with the wicked tongue of silence
I don't even know your name
You won't even see my face
But you choose to play my games
Welcome to the hard place
Back to back, you ride the snake
You feel it strike, you feel it bite ya...
Cover your eyes with the velvet hands of darkness
Cover your lips with the wicked tongue of silence
I don't even know your name
You won't even see my face
But you choose to play my games
Welcome to the hard place
I don't even know your name
You won't even see my face
But you choose to play my games
Now you can feel the hard, the hard...
Place...
Come on down to where the vipers spit
I've been waiting for you down here
Cover your eyes with the velvet hands of darkness
Cover your eyes with the velvet hands of darkness
I don't even know your name
You won't even see my face
But you choose to play my games
Welcome to the hard place
I'll bring you back from the brink
Are you surprised in every way that you like it?
Are you surprised that you want it?
(ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!)
Cover your lips with the wicked tongue of silence
Cover your lips with the wicked tongue of silence
I don't even know your name
You won't even see my face
But you choose to play my games
Welcome to the hard place
Back to back, you ride the snake
You feel it strike, you feel it bite ya...
Cover your eyes with the velvet hands of darkness
Cover your lips with the wicked tongue of silence
I don't even know your name
You won't even see my face
But you choose to play my games
Welcome to the hard place
I don't even know your name
You won't even see my face
But you choose to play my games
Now you can feel the hard, the hard...
Place...
The Ghost Of Cain lyrics - Bruce Dickenson
In your hour of darkness be not afraid
As the moonlight shivers on your grave
Come back to find you here
Save you from the danger
Come back to lead you home
From the hooded stranger
Conjuring the ghost of Cain
He won't let you fall again
Return your soul to sleep again
By conjuring the ghost of Cain
Cross a cork with silver, won't save you now
You must pay the ferry man, pay him somehow
There's only one place left
To take you across the river
You'll never know who saved you
The angel who delivered
Conjuring the ghost of Cain
He won't let you fall again
Return your soul to sleep again
By conjuring the ghost of Cain
A streamer from the sun
Fire round your heart
The earth gives up its dead
The brothers are apart
Conjuring the ghost of Cain
He won't let you fall again
Return your soul to sleep again
By conjuring the ghost of Cain
Conjuring the ghost of Cain
He won't let you fall again
Return your soul to sleep again
By conjuring the ghost of Cain
As the moonlight shivers on your grave
Come back to find you here
Save you from the danger
Come back to lead you home
From the hooded stranger
Conjuring the ghost of Cain
He won't let you fall again
Return your soul to sleep again
By conjuring the ghost of Cain
Cross a cork with silver, won't save you now
You must pay the ferry man, pay him somehow
There's only one place left
To take you across the river
You'll never know who saved you
The angel who delivered
Conjuring the ghost of Cain
He won't let you fall again
Return your soul to sleep again
By conjuring the ghost of Cain
A streamer from the sun
Fire round your heart
The earth gives up its dead
The brothers are apart
Conjuring the ghost of Cain
He won't let you fall again
Return your soul to sleep again
By conjuring the ghost of Cain
Conjuring the ghost of Cain
He won't let you fall again
Return your soul to sleep again
By conjuring the ghost of Cain
Omega lyrics - Bruce Dickenson
The ashes drift away, smoke of our confusion
We turn our frightened faces to each other, say goodbye
Waited for the sign, waited for the moment
Waited for the miracle to arrive
I guess they lied
Look at your future
Take a look at your burning sky
Look at your future
Look at your burning sky
The others, they have gone
Who wants to live forever
With nothing left to hold onto the past that we once knew?
We believed in heaven, we believed in angels
With arms of purest white
To hold us, catch us when we fall
Look at your future
Take a look at your burning sky
Look at your future
Now look at your burning sky
Now it's Omega-Zero day
The red star shines its last rays
The sun that gave us life yesterday
Is now the sun that takes our lives away
Take a look at your future
Look at your burning sky
Look at your future
Look at your burning sky
Now it's Omega-Zero day
The red star shines its last rays
The sun that gave us life yesterday
Is now the sun that takes our lives away
Now it's Omega-Zero day
The red star shines its last rays
The sun that gave us life yesterday
Is now the sun that takes our lives away
We turn our frightened faces to each other, say goodbye
Waited for the sign, waited for the moment
Waited for the miracle to arrive
I guess they lied
Look at your future
Take a look at your burning sky
Look at your future
Look at your burning sky
The others, they have gone
Who wants to live forever
With nothing left to hold onto the past that we once knew?
We believed in heaven, we believed in angels
With arms of purest white
To hold us, catch us when we fall
Look at your future
Take a look at your burning sky
Look at your future
Now look at your burning sky
Now it's Omega-Zero day
The red star shines its last rays
The sun that gave us life yesterday
Is now the sun that takes our lives away
Take a look at your future
Look at your burning sky
Look at your future
Look at your burning sky
Now it's Omega-Zero day
The red star shines its last rays
The sun that gave us life yesterday
Is now the sun that takes our lives away
Now it's Omega-Zero day
The red star shines its last rays
The sun that gave us life yesterday
Is now the sun that takes our lives away
Arc Of Space lyrics - Bruce Dickenson
There, on a lonely desert hilltop
The pilgrims huddle closer
Waiting for a sign, the coming silver shrine
The arc of space and time
Truth, oh, the truth is never clear
Perhaps again next year
The hope lives on beneath the blazing sun
One day you'll come
In my heart I reach you
In my heart I reach out to you
In my heart I touch the face of God
In my dreams somehow...
In my heart I reach you
In my heart I reach out to you
In my heart I touch the face of God
It's all a dream...
In my heart I reach you
In my heart I reach out to you
In my heart I touch the face of God
It's all a dream, somehow...
Truth, oh, the truth is never clear
Perhaps again next year
The hope lives on beneath the blazing sun
One day you'll come
The pilgrims huddle closer
Waiting for a sign, the coming silver shrine
The arc of space and time
Truth, oh, the truth is never clear
Perhaps again next year
The hope lives on beneath the blazing sun
One day you'll come
In my heart I reach you
In my heart I reach out to you
In my heart I touch the face of God
In my dreams somehow...
In my heart I reach you
In my heart I reach out to you
In my heart I touch the face of God
It's all a dream...
In my heart I reach you
In my heart I reach out to you
In my heart I touch the face of God
It's all a dream, somehow...
Truth, oh, the truth is never clear
Perhaps again next year
The hope lives on beneath the blazing sun
One day you'll come
Space Race lyrics - Bruce Dickenson
Yes, yes, I'd launch into the rising sun
My living breath is measured, every step is done
Fare ye well my friends, see you down the line,
Yeah, yeah
I don't belong to nation state or dying race
I leave my prejudice with you
My religion's in space
Have a little respect...
Why are we running in this space race?
Why are we acting like we own the place?
Just want to feel the starlight on my face
Reach out my hand and touch beyond
Yes, yes, I'd float around till gravity's end
Unity is coming singular again
See you then my friends, at the end of time
Yeah, yeah
Secret knowledge, science, logic, all are gone
Nothing left but burning up into the sun
On a cosmic beach I'll see ya there
Why are we running in this space race?
Why are we acting like we own the place?
Just want to feel the starlight on my face
Reach out my hand and touch beyond...
Why are we running in this space race?
Why are we acting like we own the place?
Just want to feel the starlight on my face
Reach out my hand and touch beyond
Why are we running in this space race?
Why are we acting like we own the place?
Just want to feel the starlight on my face
Reach out my hand and touch beyond...
My living breath is measured, every step is done
Fare ye well my friends, see you down the line,
Yeah, yeah
I don't belong to nation state or dying race
I leave my prejudice with you
My religion's in space
Have a little respect...
Why are we running in this space race?
Why are we acting like we own the place?
Just want to feel the starlight on my face
Reach out my hand and touch beyond
Yes, yes, I'd float around till gravity's end
Unity is coming singular again
See you then my friends, at the end of time
Yeah, yeah
Secret knowledge, science, logic, all are gone
Nothing left but burning up into the sun
On a cosmic beach I'll see ya there
Why are we running in this space race?
Why are we acting like we own the place?
Just want to feel the starlight on my face
Reach out my hand and touch beyond...
Why are we running in this space race?
Why are we acting like we own the place?
Just want to feel the starlight on my face
Reach out my hand and touch beyond
Why are we running in this space race?
Why are we acting like we own the place?
Just want to feel the starlight on my face
Reach out my hand and touch beyond...
Back From The Edge lyrics - Bruce Dickenson
A silent river flowing black
Strange attractors no turning back
Present danger I recall
That pins my senses to the wall
Back from the edge, where the darkness has fled
And I'm swimming in light and I'm falling
Falling from the edge, back from the edge
I fell from grace and that's a fact
I still have urges, I fight back
Cold decisions wear me thin
Kill yourself, begin again
Back from the edge, where you're not worth a damn
Throw yourself into light and the rush as you spin from the edge
Back from the edge, back from the edge, back from the edge
Now and then I wonder where the faces
from my childhood have gone
Like father, like son, in your bones it lives on
glowing shadows
Back from the edge
Back from the edge
Back from the edge
Back from the edge
Strange attractors no turning back
Present danger I recall
That pins my senses to the wall
Back from the edge, where the darkness has fled
And I'm swimming in light and I'm falling
Falling from the edge, back from the edge
I fell from grace and that's a fact
I still have urges, I fight back
Cold decisions wear me thin
Kill yourself, begin again
Back from the edge, where you're not worth a damn
Throw yourself into light and the rush as you spin from the edge
Back from the edge, back from the edge, back from the edge
Now and then I wonder where the faces
from my childhood have gone
Like father, like son, in your bones it lives on
glowing shadows
Back from the edge
Back from the edge
Back from the edge
Back from the edge
Inertia lyrics - Bruce Dickenson
These are the pictures
These are the feelings from the frontline
Living in silence
Feeling the deafness like heavy smoke
Smiling with strangers
Counting the days like a spring coiled up inside
Welcome to your future
Welcome to your book of lies
Fingers crawl through pages
Nothing changes living here...
Inertia - no wish to move at all
Inertia - everthing's a stone wall
Inertia - history lets you die
A ragged pile of silent accusers
Smell the blood of strangers here
No eyes, no ears, no smell, no taste
The mouth of the maggot is full of this place
Murdered conscience
The pressure is crushing heads, like paper lanterns now
Unbreakable grip
A dead hand driving us forward to the end
Kicking through the traces
A thousand years from now...
Inertia - no wish to think at all
Inertia - everthing's a stone wall
Inertia - history lets you die
Inertia - no wish to move at all
Inertia - everthing's a stone wall
Inertia - history lets you die
Faith lyrics - Bruce Dickenson
You knew I wouldn't go, that's why you threatened me, would I stay?
Said I was sick and I'd be alone, said my mind was not my own I didn't learn...
You crawled up on your knees, a victim's pretty-please
Would I stay? Would I stay? And I stayed...
How many more times till I broke down from that guilty mess?
You taught me to hate to love you, that's because you love to hate yourself
I wish it had a happy end, like the fairy tales pretend there can be
But things are not the same when your life love was a game of make-believe
You've got everything you want, but not everything you need and it's true - you receive what you achieve
How many screaming fights, tears of rage, until it ended?
How many more times till I say who I am and don't pretend?
How many more times till I broke out of that guilty mess?
How many more times till I say who I am and don't pretend?
Said I was sick and I'd be alone, said my mind was not my own I didn't learn...
You crawled up on your knees, a victim's pretty-please
Would I stay? Would I stay? And I stayed...
How many more times till I broke down from that guilty mess?
You taught me to hate to love you, that's because you love to hate yourself
I wish it had a happy end, like the fairy tales pretend there can be
But things are not the same when your life love was a game of make-believe
You've got everything you want, but not everything you need and it's true - you receive what you achieve
How many screaming fights, tears of rage, until it ended?
How many more times till I say who I am and don't pretend?
How many more times till I broke out of that guilty mess?
How many more times till I say who I am and don't pretend?
Solar Confinement lyrics - Bruce Dickenson
Trapped inside a web of fiery gravity
That fuels all our needs
Chaotic energy that sucks
The life from H to He
All life withers in the sun
I deny what I have done
Spend my days and nights
In roaring halls of crimson fire
Solar confinement, solar confinement
Solar confinement, solar distress flares
I've slept with many strangers
So fission, fusion
Fission makes good sense
Where I laid my head, my troubles
I put down to experience
It's warm and lonely in the sun
Deny what I have done
Spend my days and nights
In roaring halls of crimson fire
Solar confinement, solar confinement
Solar confinement, solar distress flares
Solar distress flares
A lonely boy sits in his room
His curtains hide the sun
Confess to what you've done
And no-one understands
Solar confinement, solar confinement
Solar confinement, solar distress flares
Solar confinement, solar confinement
Solar confinement, solar distress flares
Solar distress flares, solar distress flares
That fuels all our needs
Chaotic energy that sucks
The life from H to He
All life withers in the sun
I deny what I have done
Spend my days and nights
In roaring halls of crimson fire
Solar confinement, solar confinement
Solar confinement, solar distress flares
I've slept with many strangers
So fission, fusion
Fission makes good sense
Where I laid my head, my troubles
I put down to experience
It's warm and lonely in the sun
Deny what I have done
Spend my days and nights
In roaring halls of crimson fire
Solar confinement, solar confinement
Solar confinement, solar distress flares
Solar distress flares
A lonely boy sits in his room
His curtains hide the sun
Confess to what you've done
And no-one understands
Solar confinement, solar confinement
Solar confinement, solar distress flares
Solar confinement, solar confinement
Solar confinement, solar distress flares
Solar distress flares, solar distress flares
Dreamstate lyrics - Bruce Dickenson
Well, you bred me
Well, you fed me
Well, you made me what I am
Something for nothing
Good for nothing, well...
It's a dreamstate, a dreamstate
To kill me with kindness, you'll just have to wait
You say I'm nothing
You say I'm nothing
Never gonna be something
Well, then, that's the life for me
Your expectations
Your reservations
Aw, c'mon, please...
It's a dreamstate, a dreamstate
You brought it to the vision
So you don't have to wait
A dreamstate of bliss, a dreamstate of bliss, a dreamstate...
Now I'm standing up here before the judge
jury's got their head where the sun don't shine
Everybody's lying on my case
They're lying on, they're lying on, they're lying on,
they're lying
on my case...
Eyes above me
Eyes above me
Never realised there was someone else in here
No resolution
And no conclusion
Do I believe?
In a dreamstate, a dreamstate
You fell for it sucker, you fell for the bait
A dreamstate of bliss, a dreamstate of bliss
A dreamstate of bliss, a dreamstate,
A dreamstate...
Well, you fed me
Well, you made me what I am
Something for nothing
Good for nothing, well...
It's a dreamstate, a dreamstate
To kill me with kindness, you'll just have to wait
You say I'm nothing
You say I'm nothing
Never gonna be something
Well, then, that's the life for me
Your expectations
Your reservations
Aw, c'mon, please...
It's a dreamstate, a dreamstate
You brought it to the vision
So you don't have to wait
A dreamstate of bliss, a dreamstate of bliss, a dreamstate...
Now I'm standing up here before the judge
jury's got their head where the sun don't shine
Everybody's lying on my case
They're lying on, they're lying on, they're lying on,
they're lying
on my case...
Eyes above me
Eyes above me
Never realised there was someone else in here
No resolution
And no conclusion
Do I believe?
In a dreamstate, a dreamstate
You fell for it sucker, you fell for the bait
A dreamstate of bliss, a dreamstate of bliss
A dreamstate of bliss, a dreamstate,
A dreamstate...
I Will Not Accept The Truth lyrics - Bruce Dickenson
I will not accept the truth, I will not accept the truth,
I will not accept the truth
That I'll never get there, never get there, yeah, yeah
I must not push forward, no, I must not push forward, no,
I must not push forward, no
'Cos I'll never get there, I'll never get there, no way...yeah
I will not believe your lies, I will not believe your lies,

You say I'll never get there, never get there
Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on...
I will not accept your truth, I will not believe your lies,
I will not acknowledge pain, I will survive and live again
Coming back now
Rising up now, lord

Inside The Machine lyrics - Bruce Dickenson
I've got myself a widget
A gizmo with wires and Martian intent
Strange face of beauty
That's my machine
It blinks and stares right at me
Sees nothing but in its wires
A strange thing of beauty
That's my machine
You won't believe what it can do
It tells me things I never wished I knew
Like the mirror when you ask
It tells you truth
Inside the machine
The web has got you now
Inside the machine
I'd strap my DNA to it
A living device, the light of my life
Strange face of beauty
That's my machine
I sit, we crackle with static
It makes no sense to have experience
When a strange thing of beauty
That's my machine
You won't believe what it can do
It tells the things I never wished I knew
Like the mirror when you ask
It tells you truth
Inside the machine
We're looking for control
Inside the machine
You're part of it somehow
Inside the machine
Inside the machine
The web has got you now
Inside the machine
You're part of it somehow
Inside the machine
We're looking for control
Inside the machine
A gizmo with wires and Martian intent
Strange face of beauty
That's my machine
It blinks and stares right at me
Sees nothing but in its wires
A strange thing of beauty
That's my machine
You won't believe what it can do
It tells me things I never wished I knew
Like the mirror when you ask
It tells you truth
Inside the machine
The web has got you now
Inside the machine
I'd strap my DNA to it
A living device, the light of my life
Strange face of beauty
That's my machine
I sit, we crackle with static
It makes no sense to have experience
When a strange thing of beauty
That's my machine
You won't believe what it can do
It tells the things I never wished I knew
Like the mirror when you ask
It tells you truth
Inside the machine
We're looking for control
Inside the machine
You're part of it somehow
Inside the machine
Inside the machine
The web has got you now
Inside the machine
You're part of it somehow
Inside the machine
We're looking for control
Inside the machine
Headswitch lyrics - Bruce Dickenson
What would induce you to swear your allegiance to God, tonight?
Joined at the hip to a million-volt switch of the light, alright
You want to find out, what the planet's about
Falling from grace leaves a cool empty space in the sky...
Your eyes are black as they see the red ball of the sun,
and they're blind
Dribbling with come as the volts start to arc through your mind
Cruel, but it's kind
Like father, like son, chop off the head and the body lives on
Falling from grace leaves a cool empty space in the sky...
Like father, like son, chop off the head and the body lives on
Heaven that made you has screwed you and laughed
Falling from grace leaves a cool empty space in the sky...
Joined at the hip to a million-volt switch of the light, alright
You want to find out, what the planet's about
Falling from grace leaves a cool empty space in the sky...
Your eyes are black as they see the red ball of the sun,
and they're blind
Dribbling with come as the volts start to arc through your mind
Cruel, but it's kind
Like father, like son, chop off the head and the body lives on
Falling from grace leaves a cool empty space in the sky...
Like father, like son, chop off the head and the body lives on
Heaven that made you has screwed you and laughed
Falling from grace leaves a cool empty space in the sky...
Meltdown lyrics - Bruce Dickenson
Hey, you wait, cringing in the dark, you create what you always fear
A puppet of hatred, dishing out poison
You use me for bait, your begging bowl of lies,
chain letters of sniveling compromise
I can smell the difference, your truth and your fiction, you and your
Twisted convictions
Were you my friend when I belonged?
Were you my friend when I was strong?
Were you my friend when I was weak?
Were you my friend when I was crawling, calling...out of my head?
Cold, like your blood, the snake is always cool
When things get tough, you slither on the ground
You cover up your tracks when I'm around
It's over now my friend, your dog has had its day
It's payback time for what you had to say
You're stuck with the life you made,
Stuck with the plans you made
Stuck with everything you are
Were you my friend when I belonged?
Were you my friend when I was strong?
Were you my friend when I was weak?
Were you my friend when I was crawling, calling...out of my head?
Everything's gonna happen now, everything's gonna happen now
Everything's gonna happen now, everything's gonna happen now
Were you my friend when I belonged?
Were you my friend when I was strong?
Were you my friend when I was weak?
Were you my friend when I was crawling, calling...out of my head?
Crawling, calling, out of my head
Crawling, calling, out of my head
A puppet of hatred, dishing out poison
You use me for bait, your begging bowl of lies,
chain letters of sniveling compromise
I can smell the difference, your truth and your fiction, you and your
Twisted convictions
Were you my friend when I belonged?
Were you my friend when I was strong?
Were you my friend when I was weak?
Were you my friend when I was crawling, calling...out of my head?
Cold, like your blood, the snake is always cool
When things get tough, you slither on the ground
You cover up your tracks when I'm around
It's over now my friend, your dog has had its day
It's payback time for what you had to say
You're stuck with the life you made,
Stuck with the plans you made
Stuck with everything you are
Were you my friend when I belonged?
Were you my friend when I was strong?
Were you my friend when I was weak?
Were you my friend when I was crawling, calling...out of my head?
Everything's gonna happen now, everything's gonna happen now
Everything's gonna happen now, everything's gonna happen now
Were you my friend when I belonged?
Were you my friend when I was strong?
Were you my friend when I was weak?
Were you my friend when I was crawling, calling...out of my head?
Crawling, calling, out of my head
Crawling, calling, out of my head
Innerspace lyrics - Bruce Dickenson
I see the scars of action all writhing 'round your face
Too much inactivity and home's a lonely place
Throw away your beauty, 'cos you know that it won't last
Throw away your present, you've been living in the pas
Come on, take a trip with me
Across the bridge of lunacy
Fire up some beast and ride the skywaves
I've thrown away my images, they're all so distant now
Discovery was a stranger then, welcome to my house
Whatever demons torture me, I love them like a friend
Nothing lasts forever but the certainty of change
I'd rather move around and be, than figure out life and what it means
Fire up some beast and ride the skywaves
Don't wanna waste my time on you, if you can't travel this way too
Fire up some beast, we'll ride the skywaves
And when the fireball's work is done
and we are part of the nuclear one
The whole damn thing begins again
Our glory days have just begun
A fiery sideslip, then we're gone
I'll see ya monday morning
Anyway, I'm coming back
Anyway, I'm coming back
Too much inactivity and home's a lonely place
Throw away your beauty, 'cos you know that it won't last
Throw away your present, you've been living in the pas
Come on, take a trip with me
Across the bridge of lunacy
Fire up some beast and ride the skywaves
I've thrown away my images, they're all so distant now
Discovery was a stranger then, welcome to my house
Whatever demons torture me, I love them like a friend
Nothing lasts forever but the certainty of change
I'd rather move around and be, than figure out life and what it means
Fire up some beast and ride the skywaves
Don't wanna waste my time on you, if you can't travel this way too
Fire up some beast, we'll ride the skywaves
And when the fireball's work is done
and we are part of the nuclear one
The whole damn thing begins again
Our glory days have just begun
A fiery sideslip, then we're gone
I'll see ya monday morning
Anyway, I'm coming back
Anyway, I'm coming back
Strange Death In Paradise lyrics - Bruce Dickenson
Spiralling, falling ' a silver machine, from wings of freedom, silent above
Eyelids were burning, summer sun roasting,
tumbling chrome in the clear blue sky
Brighter than sunshine, for all of our lifetimes
1000 stars turned day into night at the end
Where were you when it fell from the sky?
I saw the movie, I read the reply
In the beginning there was only the word
People were kissing in front of their shadows
Children were playing out in the yard
I am not guilty, I made no difference
I wasn't born and I wasn't made on that day
Where were you when it fell from the sky?
I saw the movie, I read the reply
In the beginning there was only the word
Strange death in paradise
Strange death in paradise
Strange death in paradise
Strange death in paradise
Strange death in paradise
Strange death in paradise
Eyelids were burning, summer sun roasting,
tumbling chrome in the clear blue sky
Brighter than sunshine, for all of our lifetimes
1000 stars turned day into night at the end
Where were you when it fell from the sky?
I saw the movie, I read the reply
In the beginning there was only the word
People were kissing in front of their shadows
Children were playing out in the yard
I am not guilty, I made no difference
I wasn't born and I wasn't made on that day
Where were you when it fell from the sky?
I saw the movie, I read the reply
In the beginning there was only the word
Strange death in paradise
Strange death in paradise
Strange death in paradise
Strange death in paradise
Strange death in paradise
Strange death in paradise
I'm In A Band With An Italian Drummer lyrics - Bruce Dickenson
I'm in a band with an Italian drummer
and all the girls just fall in his lap
I'm in a band with an Italian drummer
But for a foreigner he's quite a nice chap
He just cooks pasta, always faster
He smokes with his father, makes good carbonara
His cock's too long to fit in this song
He shaves his legs and always thinks about sex
His hands have blisters, don't trust him with your sisters
He talks baloni and eats rigatoni
His name's on his sticks, he's got smelly armpits
And when he plays his drums it sounds like this
I'm in a band with an Italian drummer
and all the girls just fall in his lap
I'm in a band with an Italian drummer
But for a foreigner he's quite a nice chap
He's really Italian, hung like a stallion
He never takes a rest from chasing breasts and legs
He hates Peter Criss but he still likes Kiss
And when he plays his drums it sounds like this
I'm in a band with an Italian drummer
and all the girls just fall in his lap
I'm in a band with an Italian drummer
But for a foreigner he's quite a nice chap
"The characters described in this song are fictitious and
any similarity to real people living or dead is entirely
coincidental and unintentional"
I'm in a band with an Italian drummer
and all the girls just fall in his lap
I'm in a band with an Italian drummer
But for a foreigner he's quite a nice chap
He's really Italian, he's hung like a stallion
His cock's too long to fit in this song
He shaves his legs, always thinks about sex
His hands have blisters, don't trust him with your sisters
He talks baloni and eats rigatoni
His name's on his sticks, he's got smelly armpits
when he plays his drums...
...do you know someone like this?
I'm in a band with an Italian drummer
I'm in a band with a foreign chap (Repeat in infinity)
"You know son, it's like this you see.
We met him down the pub one day and eerm...
he looked a bit of a geezer at the time.
Ha! It was only when we gave him a fucking saxophone
that he discovered he was a fucking drummer didn't he!
Fucking cunt!
So we got rid of his saxophone and eerm...
put these drums there instead. And eerm...
he was a star really.
And there's nothing we can do about it really."
I'm in a band, in a band, in a band...
"Hey, are you fucking talking to me, aye?
Minchia! Minchia! Minchia! E' come se metti del
peperoncino nel culo di una porta che scoreggia nuvole di nero.
E poi c'era una vacca... Io non ho capito che dice questo
ragazzo inglese... Non mi ricordo.
Ehi Vito, ma che cazzo dice, eh ?!
E te l'ho detto, io non capisco una minchia questo
ragazzo straniero.
...fucking talking to you, aye!!! Ah, think so!
Andate a 'fanculo !!!"

Rescue Day lyrics - Bruce Dickenson
You don’t know your jailer
Like you, he’s never been free
He looks just like you, doesn’t he?
He’s got no sense of his own reward
Who needs freedom anyway?
When you’ve got your golden cage
What I call isolation
You might call it passion play
How long have you been here?
You really can’t say
How long will you stay?
Who cares anyway?
It’s a rescue day
What’s the use in fighting
Battles that you can’t lose
You’re here by an invitation
Another’s mad refuse
Escape is a temptation
But it’s much too tough to choose
That’s why I’m standing out here
That’s why I’m waiting out here
It’s a rescue day
Another rescue day
You build walls to keep me out
Or maybe to keep you in
Which ever jail you choose right now
Your house is not your friend
Like you, he’s never been free
He looks just like you, doesn’t he?
He’s got no sense of his own reward
Who needs freedom anyway?
When you’ve got your golden cage
What I call isolation
You might call it passion play
How long have you been here?
You really can’t say
How long will you stay?
Who cares anyway?
It’s a rescue day
What’s the use in fighting
Battles that you can’t lose
You’re here by an invitation
Another’s mad refuse
Escape is a temptation
But it’s much too tough to choose
That’s why I’m standing out here
That’s why I’m waiting out here
It’s a rescue day
Another rescue day
You build walls to keep me out
Or maybe to keep you in
Which ever jail you choose right now
Your house is not your friend
God's Not Coming Back lyrics - Bruce Dickenson
It's gotten by the three kings
And I thought I saw a star
I could smell the holy spirit,
It was coming from the hall
It's magic they said
Back from the dead
It's not Christmas yet
God's not coming back
God's not coming back
You turn my water into wine,
You fix my table, it's just fine
Two ton rocks he rolled away,
Feels secure every Sunday
It's magic they said
Back from the dead
It's not Christmas yet
God's not coming back
You with the mandoline
You never talk the little queen
You look like Ian Gillian
But I bet you couldn't scream
It's magic they said
Back from the dead
It's not Christmas yet
God's not coming back
God's not coming back
God's... not... coming... back
God's... not... coming... back
And I thought I saw a star
I could smell the holy spirit,
It was coming from the hall
It's magic they said
Back from the dead
It's not Christmas yet
God's not coming back
God's not coming back
You turn my water into wine,
You fix my table, it's just fine
Two ton rocks he rolled away,
Feels secure every Sunday
It's magic they said
Back from the dead
It's not Christmas yet
God's not coming back
You with the mandoline
You never talk the little queen
You look like Ian Gillian
But I bet you couldn't scream
It's magic they said
Back from the dead
It's not Christmas yet
God's not coming back
God's not coming back
God's... not... coming... back
God's... not... coming... back
Armchair Hero lyrics - Bruce Dickenson
You wanna talk? you wanna go?
From your armchair things you know
Secret plans, conspiracy
Little people all around
You curse love, you curse hate
You curse your life, you curse your face
Whatever you can be
If only you could learn
If only you could learn
Narrow-vision, that's the way
It finally helps you through the day
Too many reasons to believe
No time to understand
The clock is ticking like a bomb
Subversive things are going on
Your only certainty
If only you could learn
If only you could learn
If only, if only, if only, if only
If only you could learn
Victim gravel on your knees
Victim of your own disease
Make my day, why don't ya?
From your armchair, you're a hero
If only you could learn
If only you could learn
If only, if only, if only, if only
If only you could learn
Victim gravel on your knees
Victim of your own disease
Make my day, why don't ya?
From your armchair, you're a hero
Screaming beauty, suicide
So cynical, you never tried
To understand the reasons
From your armchair you're a hero
If only you could learn
If only you could learn
If only, if only, if only, if only
If only you could learn
From your armchair things you know
Secret plans, conspiracy
Little people all around
You curse love, you curse hate
You curse your life, you curse your face
Whatever you can be
If only you could learn
If only you could learn
Narrow-vision, that's the way
It finally helps you through the day
Too many reasons to believe
No time to understand
The clock is ticking like a bomb
Subversive things are going on
Your only certainty
If only you could learn
If only you could learn
If only, if only, if only, if only
If only you could learn
Victim gravel on your knees
Victim of your own disease
Make my day, why don't ya?
From your armchair, you're a hero
If only you could learn
If only you could learn
If only, if only, if only, if only
If only you could learn
Victim gravel on your knees
Victim of your own disease
Make my day, why don't ya?
From your armchair, you're a hero
Screaming beauty, suicide
So cynical, you never tried
To understand the reasons
From your armchair you're a hero
If only you could learn
If only you could learn
If only, if only, if only, if only
If only you could learn
R 101 lyrics - Bruce Dickenson
Don't start it
What you say to me and what you see
It's not for sale
I'm a cold starter
Don't you hang your hat on my peg pin
Your big red heart on my shirt tail?
I'm coldhearted
I mean and bad and virtuous
And every bad thing I could ever be
Trying to be careful,
Said I'd never do that again
It's on the tip of my tongue
And sometimes it just falls out wrong
It's not the thing I meant to do,
It's not the place I want to be
Guess I'll keep on walking, baby,
Motown's gonna give me some clue, of what to do
Should I travel on the sunny side
When I think of where to hang my feet and what to do
You'd better watch out how you drive that thing
But I looked into the fire and the spider's done
It's dancing in the rain, tried a little shuffle
But I never had the chance to move
Try a different tune
What you say to me and what you see
It's not for sale
I'm a cold starter
Don't you hang your hat on my peg pin
Your big red heart on my shirt tail?
I'm coldhearted
I mean and bad and virtuous
And every bad thing I could ever be
Trying to be careful,
Said I'd never do that again
It's on the tip of my tongue
And sometimes it just falls out wrong
It's not the thing I meant to do,
It's not the place I want to be
Guess I'll keep on walking, baby,
Motown's gonna give me some clue, of what to do
Should I travel on the sunny side
When I think of where to hang my feet and what to do
You'd better watch out how you drive that thing
But I looked into the fire and the spider's done
It's dancing in the rain, tried a little shuffle
But I never had the chance to move
Try a different tune
Re-entry lyrics - Bruce Dickenson
Say goodbye to earth's children on a sleigh ride to the moon
Blue and white in the distance, not sorry I'm leaving you
Now and then the earthrise fills my eyes
Now and then the darkside fills the sky
Turn around the starlight warms my skin
Even in the blackness there's a tune
Now that I'm not with you I close my eyes and dream
Remember all my days as a prisoner of gravity
I left a piece of history and the future has begun
Sat here with my feet hung up and nowhere is my home
Now and then the earthrise fills my dreams
Squeeze my fist in anger, remember what it means
Turn around the starlight warms my skin
Everyday in the blackness we begin...again
Now and then the earthrise fills my eyes
Squeeze my fist in anger, remember what it means
Turn around the starlight warms my skin
Everyday in the blackness we begin
Welcome back to the human race so very far from home
I know I should be lonely but there's too much going on
I left this ball of sadness when the fighting had begun
To leave behind your mayhem, your chemistry are free
Blue and white in the distance, not sorry I'm leaving you
Now and then the earthrise fills my eyes
Now and then the darkside fills the sky
Turn around the starlight warms my skin
Even in the blackness there's a tune
Now that I'm not with you I close my eyes and dream
Remember all my days as a prisoner of gravity
I left a piece of history and the future has begun
Sat here with my feet hung up and nowhere is my home
Now and then the earthrise fills my dreams
Squeeze my fist in anger, remember what it means
Turn around the starlight warms my skin
Everyday in the blackness we begin...again
Now and then the earthrise fills my eyes
Squeeze my fist in anger, remember what it means
Turn around the starlight warms my skin
Everyday in the blackness we begin
Welcome back to the human race so very far from home
I know I should be lonely but there's too much going on
I left this ball of sadness when the fighting had begun
To leave behind your mayhem, your chemistry are free
Americans Are Behind lyrics - Bruce Dickenson
Hello!
Well I've studied greenwich meantime
And its different from cet
But in Europe we're all in line
And that's no big problem for me, ha, ha
But over in the USA
While we're all having our tea
They're maybe just getting dressed,
Well that's no way to be.
Americans are behind
Americans are behind
Americans are behind
Americans are behind
Well I called them on the telephone
During office hours
I'd spoken to their answerphone,
Some silly mumbling cow
She said "I'm sorry we're not open yet but have a nice day"
But it's gone noon,
They're still in bed
They're far behind in the USA
Americans are behind
Americans are behind
Americans are behind
Americans are behind
Good lord, can't you hurry up
Americans are behind
Americans, get a move on now!
At the third stroke
We will all have a jolly good time...
Precisely...

Cyclops lyrics - Bruce Dickenson
We all have secret lives, in our secret rooms
Living in our movies, humming our own tunes
Living life in camera, when the night is closing down
Sliding into darkness, you could be like me
Where are you going? What are you doing?
Why are you looking at the cameras eye?
Where are you staying? why are you leaving?
We watch you breathing through the cameras eye
We all make up our faces, the make-up of the clown
Happy leaving traces of our childish background
Pointing at the sky, we can watch the stars
You think you're all alone, but you never are...
Where are you going? What are you doing?
Why are you looking at the cameras eye?
Where are you staying? why are you leaving?
We watch you breathing through the cameras eye
They ain't watching you, they ain't watching you now
They ain't watching you, they ain't watching you now
They ain't watching you, they ain't watching you now
They ain't watching you, they ain't watching you now
Where are you going? What are you doing?
Why are you looking at the cameras eye?
Political sleazes, sexual divas
We watch your heart beating through the cameras eye
Where are you going? What are you doing?
Why are you looking at the cameras eye?
Political sleazes, sexual divas
We watch your heart beating through the cameras eye
Living in our movies, humming our own tunes
Living life in camera, when the night is closing down
Sliding into darkness, you could be like me
Where are you going? What are you doing?
Why are you looking at the cameras eye?
Where are you staying? why are you leaving?
We watch you breathing through the cameras eye
We all make up our faces, the make-up of the clown
Happy leaving traces of our childish background
Pointing at the sky, we can watch the stars
You think you're all alone, but you never are...
Where are you going? What are you doing?
Why are you looking at the cameras eye?
Where are you staying? why are you leaving?
We watch you breathing through the cameras eye
They ain't watching you, they ain't watching you now
They ain't watching you, they ain't watching you now
They ain't watching you, they ain't watching you now
They ain't watching you, they ain't watching you now
Where are you going? What are you doing?
Why are you looking at the cameras eye?
Political sleazes, sexual divas
We watch your heart beating through the cameras eye
Where are you going? What are you doing?
Why are you looking at the cameras eye?
Political sleazes, sexual divas
We watch your heart beating through the cameras eye
Hell No lyrics - Bruce Dickenson
There's a secret that we all share,
in the darkest hours of the night
You could swear on your bible,
cut the throat of you rival
I've been taken my life in my hands
And I'm making new plans, yeah...
Now I'm starting my life on my own
In the virgin unknown
Hell, hell no, oh where do we belong?
In this place where we fight, oh, where do we belong?
There's a place in the misty air,
not a million miles away from here
You can make it your own place,
oh, you can change your own face
I've been taken my life in my hands
And I'm making new plans, yeah...
Now I'm starting my life on my own
In the virgin unknown
Hell, hell no, oh, where do we belong?
In this place where we fight, oh, where did we go wrong?
Screaming, hell, hell no, oh where do we belong?
In this place, where we fight, oh where do we go wrong?
Screaming out hell no, shouting out hell no
On his knees singing hell no, defiant as hell no
On the streets singing hell no, still looking for hell no
On his knees singing hell no, hell no, one, two, three, four
Hell, hell no, oh, where do we belong?
In this place where we fight, oh, where did we go wrong?
Screaming, hell, hell no, oh, where do we belong?
In this place where we fight, oh, where did we go wrong?
in the darkest hours of the night
You could swear on your bible,
cut the throat of you rival
I've been taken my life in my hands
And I'm making new plans, yeah...
Now I'm starting my life on my own
In the virgin unknown
Hell, hell no, oh where do we belong?
In this place where we fight, oh, where do we belong?
There's a place in the misty air,
not a million miles away from here
You can make it your own place,
oh, you can change your own face
I've been taken my life in my hands
And I'm making new plans, yeah...
Now I'm starting my life on my own
In the virgin unknown
Hell, hell no, oh, where do we belong?
In this place where we fight, oh, where did we go wrong?
Screaming, hell, hell no, oh where do we belong?
In this place, where we fight, oh where do we go wrong?
Screaming out hell no, shouting out hell no
On his knees singing hell no, defiant as hell no
On the streets singing hell no, still looking for hell no
On his knees singing hell no, hell no, one, two, three, four
Hell, hell no, oh, where do we belong?
In this place where we fight, oh, where did we go wrong?
Screaming, hell, hell no, oh, where do we belong?
In this place where we fight, oh, where did we go wrong?
Gods Of War lyrics - Bruce Dickenson
When I was younger I thought, that to kill
or be killed was a thing to be proud of
Victim of chance, prisoner of hope
Hanged by the neck on the end of the rope
I don't know, I don't care
Oh, one of the damned, oh, part of the plan
Cry-oh-oh-oh, the gods of war
They howl and cry for more
Cry-oh-oh-oh, the gods of war
They howl and cry for more
Now taking both sides at a time on the front line
You can join in the fear, share in the bloodshed
Investing your money in guns, the infinite fun
Of the warlord you saved, from a rusty grave
Oh, one of the damned, oh, part of the plan
Cry-oh-oh-oh, the gods of war
They howl and cry for more
Cry-oh-oh-oh, the gods of war
They howl and cry for more
Cry-oh-oh-oh, the gods of war
They howl and cry for more
Cry-oh-oh-oh, the gods of war
They howl and cry for more
or be killed was a thing to be proud of
Victim of chance, prisoner of hope
Hanged by the neck on the end of the rope
I don't know, I don't care
Oh, one of the damned, oh, part of the plan
Cry-oh-oh-oh, the gods of war
They howl and cry for more
Cry-oh-oh-oh, the gods of war
They howl and cry for more
Now taking both sides at a time on the front line
You can join in the fear, share in the bloodshed
Investing your money in guns, the infinite fun
Of the warlord you saved, from a rusty grave
Oh, one of the damned, oh, part of the plan
Cry-oh-oh-oh, the gods of war
They howl and cry for more
Cry-oh-oh-oh, the gods of war
They howl and cry for more
Cry-oh-oh-oh, the gods of war
They howl and cry for more
Cry-oh-oh-oh, the gods of war
They howl and cry for more
1000 Points Of Light lyrics - Bruce Dickenson
You can sail in the desert with a ship of fools
You can smuggle in Mozes and his book of rules
But you can't take a mother and give her back her son
What kind of freedom is bought with a gun?
People like to build their prison walls
When they're afraid to look inside a
Thousand points of light
Are the muzzle flashes in the night
And the freedoms you profess to hold
Won't bring the dead back from the cold
Political speaches they're laying in the mud
Nothing else matters but money and blood
Tell me your freedom is do what you like
There's a world gone crazy 'cause it can't say no
People like to build their prison walls
When they're afraid to look inside a
Thousand points of light
Are the muzzle flashes in the night
And the freedoms you profess to hold
Won't bring the dead back from the cold
A thousand points of light
Are the muzzle flashes in the night
And the freedoms you profess to hold
Won't bring the dead back from the cold
There should be time for love
But there's too much room for hate
Too much sliding of the truth
Too much abuse of wasted youth
There's a time for dying and a time for living too
Had enough of realize, had enough of your alibis
A thousand points of light
Are the muzzle flashes in the night
And the freedoms you profess to hold
Won't bring the dead back from the cold
A thousand points of light
Are the muzzle flashes in the night
And the freedoms you profess to hold
Won't bring the dead back from the cold
You can smuggle in Mozes and his book of rules
But you can't take a mother and give her back her son
What kind of freedom is bought with a gun?
People like to build their prison walls
When they're afraid to look inside a
Thousand points of light
Are the muzzle flashes in the night
And the freedoms you profess to hold
Won't bring the dead back from the cold
Political speaches they're laying in the mud
Nothing else matters but money and blood
Tell me your freedom is do what you like
There's a world gone crazy 'cause it can't say no
People like to build their prison walls
When they're afraid to look inside a
Thousand points of light
Are the muzzle flashes in the night
And the freedoms you profess to hold
Won't bring the dead back from the cold
A thousand points of light
Are the muzzle flashes in the night
And the freedoms you profess to hold
Won't bring the dead back from the cold
There should be time for love
But there's too much room for hate
Too much sliding of the truth
Too much abuse of wasted youth
There's a time for dying and a time for living too
Had enough of realize, had enough of your alibis
A thousand points of light
Are the muzzle flashes in the night
And the freedoms you profess to hold
Won't bring the dead back from the cold
A thousand points of light
Are the muzzle flashes in the night
And the freedoms you profess to hold
Won't bring the dead back from the cold

Change Of Heart lyrics - Bruce Dickenson
Here I sit, alone in a window
The rain falls down on the glass in the cold
All my life, I've been waiting for a moment
It never came, maybe never will
Ah ' sometimes I don't know
Those days are gone
Lord I hide where I just can't say
I'm still there, catching your tears
Before they fall to the ground
You, you're walking away
You couldn't stay, you need a change of heart
You, you're walking away
You couldn't stay, you need a change of heart - yeah
Trees are bare, the earth it is hard
I wait for winter, soft winter and snow
Those days are gone
Now I hide, where I just can't say
I'll be there catching your tears
Before they fall to the ground
You, you're walking away
You couldn't stay, you need a change of heart
You, you're walking away
You couldn't stay, you need a change of heart
And I know, where ever you go, I'll be around ' yeah
I'll be there catching your tears before they fall to the ground
yeah
Those days are gone
Now I hide where I just can't say
I'm still there, watching your tears
As they fall to the ground
You, you're walking away
You couldn't stay, you need a change of heart
You, you're walking away
You couldn't stay, you need a change of heart
And I know'
You, you're walking away
You couldn't stay, you need a change of heart
And I know'
Oh, now, child, you need a change of heart
And I know'
You, you're walking away
I need your love so bad
Change of heart, change of heart
Change of heart, change of heart
The rain falls down on the glass in the cold
All my life, I've been waiting for a moment
It never came, maybe never will
Ah ' sometimes I don't know
Those days are gone
Lord I hide where I just can't say
I'm still there, catching your tears
Before they fall to the ground
You, you're walking away

Fire lyrics - Bruce Dickenson
Always let you down, always fooled around
Always stealing your own way
Life just seems too short, life lived in the dirt
Kicked in the teeth is what you meant to say
Fighting battles never fired a shot
Step into the fire, you're gonna get burned
Hide all the money you saved
Money won't pay for the trouble you caused
Trouble's coming back for more
Living on the edge
A blind man kneels on broken glass
Building the bars of his own cage
Running circles till you drop
Hating life until it stops
Kicked in the teeth is what you meant to say
Fighting battles never fired a shot
Step into the fire, you're gonna get burned
Hide all the money you saved
Money won't pay for the trouble you caused
Trouble's coming back for more
Step into the fire, you're gonna get burned
Hide all the money you saved
Money won't pay for the trouble you caused
Trouble's coming back for...more
Running circles till you drop
Hating life until it stops
Kicked in the teeth is what you meant to say
Fighting battles never fired a shot
Step into the fire, you're gonna get burned
Hide all the money you saved
Money won't pay for the trouble you caused
Trouble's coming back for more
Step into the fire, you're gonna get burned
Hide all the money you saved
Money won't pay for the trouble you caused
Trouble's coming back for more
Step into the fire, you're gonna get burned
Hide all the money you saved
Money won't pay for the trouble you caused
Trouble's coming back for more
Always stealing your own way
Life just seems too short, life lived in the dirt
Kicked in the teeth is what you meant to say
Fighting battles never fired a shot
Step into the fire, you're gonna get burned
Hide all the money you saved
Money won't pay for the trouble you caused
Trouble's coming back for more
Living on the edge
A blind man kneels on broken glass
Building the bars of his own cage
Running circles till you drop
Hating life until it stops
Kicked in the teeth is what you meant to say
Fighting battles never fired a shot
Step into the fire, you're gonna get burned
Hide all the money you saved
Money won't pay for the trouble you caused
Trouble's coming back for more
Step into the fire, you're gonna get burned
Hide all the money you saved
Money won't pay for the trouble you caused
Trouble's coming back for...more
Running circles till you drop
Hating life until it stops
Kicked in the teeth is what you meant to say
Fighting battles never fired a shot
Step into the fire, you're gonna get burned
Hide all the money you saved
Money won't pay for the trouble you caused
Trouble's coming back for more
Step into the fire, you're gonna get burned
Hide all the money you saved
Money won't pay for the trouble you caused
Trouble's coming back for more
Step into the fire, you're gonna get burned
Hide all the money you saved
Money won't pay for the trouble you caused
Trouble's coming back for more
Sacred Cowboys lyrics - Bruce Dickenson
With a sense of irony everyone you see is chasing their illusions
Take a dive or sink or swim, but in the end you're in the same pollution
In your world escape is swift, the nonsense list is all you need to know
In the land of dreams, you make the right connections, then you'll be the hero
Ecstasy, the cult of me provides our institutions
You can live forever with a grave that stands where people used to function
You can join the saviours of our culture, vultures circling overhead my sky
Like the sin of gluttony won't set you free, but Betty Ford can help you try
You can get all the things you never needed
You can sell people crap and make them eat it
But where is our John Wayne
Where's our sacred cowboy now?
Where are the indians on the hill?
There's no indians left to kill
People die with oxygen and all their money can't afford a breath
People starving everywhere and staring in the face of death
Prostitutes and politicians laying in their beds together
You can be the saviour of the poor making up the policies to open up the back door...
You can get all the things you never needed
You can sell people crap and make them eat it
Where is our John Wayne
Where's our sacred cowboy now?
Where are the indians on the hill?
There's no indians left to kill
Where is our John Wayne
Where's our sacred cowboy now?
Where are the indians on the hill?
There's no indians left to kill
You can get all the things you never needed
You can sell people crap and make them eat it...eat it!
Where is our John Wayne
Where's our sacred cowboy now?
Where are the indians on the hill?
There's no indians left to kill
Where is our John Wayne
Where's our sacred cowboy now?
Where are the indians on the hill?
There's no indians left to...kill...
Take a dive or sink or swim, but in the end you're in the same pollution
In your world escape is swift, the nonsense list is all you need to know

You can live forever with a grave that stands where people used to function

You can get all the things you never needed
You can sell people crap and make them eat it
But where is our John Wayne
Where's our sacred cowboy now?
Where are the indians on the hill?

Tears Of The Dragon lyrics - Bruce Dickenson
For too long now, there were secrets in my mind
For too long now, there were things I should have said
In the darkness, I was stumbling for the door
To find a reason, to find the time, the place, the hour
Waiting for the winter sun and the cold light of day
The misty ghosts of childhood fears
The pressure is building and I can't stay away.
I throw myself into the sea
Release the wave
Let it wash over me
To face the fear I once believed
The tears of the dragon for you and for me
Where I was, I had wings that couldn't fly
Where I was, I had tears I couldn't cry
My emotions, frozen in an iced lake
I couldn't feel them until the ice began to break
I have no power over this, you know I'm afraid
The walls I built are crumbling, the water is moving,
I'm slipping away...
I throw myself into the sea
Release the wave, let it wash over me
To face the fear I once believed
The tears of the dragon for you and for me
Slowly I awake, slowly I rise
The walls I built are crumbling,
The water is moving,
I'm slipping away.
I throw myself into the sea
Release the wave, let it wash over me
To face the fear I once believed
The tears of the dragon for you and for me
I throw myself into the sea
Release the wave, let it wash over me
To face the fear I once believed
The tears of the dragon for you and for me
For too long now, there were things I should have said
In the darkness, I was stumbling for the door
To find a reason, to find the time, the place, the hour
Waiting for the winter sun and the cold light of day
The misty ghosts of childhood fears
The pressure is building and I can't stay away.
I throw myself into the sea
Release the wave
Let it wash over me
To face the fear I once believed
The tears of the dragon for you and for me
Where I was, I had wings that couldn't fly
Where I was, I had tears I couldn't cry
My emotions, frozen in an iced lake
I couldn't feel them until the ice began to break
I have no power over this, you know I'm afraid
The walls I built are crumbling, the water is moving,
I'm slipping away...
I throw myself into the sea
Release the wave, let it wash over me
To face the fear I once believed
The tears of the dragon for you and for me
Slowly I awake, slowly I rise
The walls I built are crumbling,
The water is moving,
I'm slipping away.
I throw myself into the sea
Release the wave, let it wash over me
To face the fear I once believed
The tears of the dragon for you and for me
I throw myself into the sea
Release the wave, let it wash over me
To face the fear I once believed
The tears of the dragon for you and for me
Fire Child lyrics - Bruce Dickenson
From the golden brow of a morning hill
The shadows rise in the early still
The earth is cracked and the dust is cold
The embers glow and the fire is old
Mountains in the sky, lightning cracks the night
Shivering in the cold till the morning light
I know this time around, I'm travelling on holy ground
I've robbed the ghosts, I've heard the sound
So I ride on into the sun
with the shadows of the deeds that were done
I can't imagine what it was to be alive
The magic is still in the hills
Watch the fire child grow
Watch the fire child grow
Riding on the wind, burning through your heart
The parliament indian mission slowly rips apart
Promises made, then willows laid
And the world was thrown from the barrel of a gun
So I ride on into the sun
with the shadows of the deeds that were done
I can't imagine what it was to be alive
The magic is still in the hills
Watch the fire child grow
Watch the fire child grow
Watch the fire child grow
Watch the fire child grow
Watch the fire child grow
Watch the fire child grow
Watch the fire child grow
Watch the fire child grow
So I ride on into the sun
with the shadows of the deeds that were done
I can't imagine what it was to be alive
The magic is still in the hills
The magic is still in the hills
The magic is still in the hills
The magic is still in the hills
The magic is still in the hills
The shadows rise in the early still
The earth is cracked and the dust is cold
The embers glow and the fire is old
Mountains in the sky, lightning cracks the night
Shivering in the cold till the morning light
I know this time around, I'm travelling on holy ground
I've robbed the ghosts, I've heard the sound
So I ride on into the sun
with the shadows of the deeds that were done
I can't imagine what it was to be alive
The magic is still in the hills
Watch the fire child grow
Watch the fire child grow
Riding on the wind, burning through your heart
The parliament indian mission slowly rips apart
Promises made, then willows laid
And the world was thrown from the barrel of a gun
So I ride on into the sun
with the shadows of the deeds that were done
I can't imagine what it was to be alive
The magic is still in the hills
Watch the fire child grow
Watch the fire child grow
Watch the fire child grow
Watch the fire child grow
Watch the fire child grow
Watch the fire child grow
Watch the fire child grow
Watch the fire child grow
So I ride on into the sun
with the shadows of the deeds that were done
I can't imagine what it was to be alive
The magic is still in the hills
The magic is still in the hills
The magic is still in the hills
The magic is still in the hills
The magic is still in the hills
Elvis Has Left The Building lyrics - Bruce Dickenson
They realize that misery forms the basis of our own immortal frankensteins...
As I said to my wife, oh, just the other day [?] we live our lives in dreamstates
And what you call real is just somebody else's dreams
Elvis Has Left The Building
The toast is burning in the kitchen
Whether your life is set is not an option now
I am feeling extremely unwell, something very strange is going on
Oh well, the other day I spoke to my wife
[?]
Clear the streets, evacuate the cities! Do not drink the water!
Elvis Has Left the Building
Things aren't too different to belong together
All things... are... a... part
Elvis Has Left the Building
I am feeling extremely unwell
Well, the other day I spoke to my wife
The toast is burning in the kitchen
Something very strange is going on
Elvis has left the building...
As I said to my wife, oh, just the other day [?] we live our lives in dreamstates
And what you call real is just somebody else's dreams
Elvis Has Left The Building
The toast is burning in the kitchen
Whether your life is set is not an option now
I am feeling extremely unwell, something very strange is going on
Oh well, the other day I spoke to my wife
[?]
Clear the streets, evacuate the cities! Do not drink the water!
Elvis Has Left the Building
Things aren't too different to belong together
All things... are... a... part
Elvis Has Left the Building
I am feeling extremely unwell
Well, the other day I spoke to my wife
The toast is burning in the kitchen
Something very strange is going on
Elvis has left the building...
The Breeding House lyrics - Bruce Dickenson
The breeding house stood at 731, he was just a working man
And he worked with his hands and prisoners
He set a judgement on his fellow man
Secret science was his game, justified by war
His spawn lay in the freezer
The killers that bore his name
The breeding house, you were there
And the sins of your fathers, In the breeding house
The breeding house, 731
And the sins of your fathers are the sins of your sons
Maybe within childhood he pulled off spiders legs
Now he's a big boy playing with big boys toys
Playing games he won't forget
A contract for some research, a paycheque in the mail
Their secret death defended by the ones that should have ended it
Angels of death in your white coats, so serene
devicing ways of dying, so obscene, so obscene
While Washington was bluffing about knickers and G-strings
their men were busy hiding evil things, evil things
The breeding house, you were there
And the sins of your fathers, In the breeding house
The breeding house, 731
And the sins of your fathers are the sins of your sons
Come to see the carnival, come to witness fear
Come and see deformity, all human life is here
A double-blind experiment on who's the last to die
A fifty year conspiracy of murders and of lies
Angels of death in your white coats, so serene
devicing ways of dying, so obscene, so obscene
While Washington was bluffing about knickers and G-strings
their men were busy hiding evil things, evil things
The breeding house, you were there
And the sins of your fathers, In the breeding house
The breeding house, 731
And the sins of your fathers are the sins of your sons
And he worked with his hands and prisoners
He set a judgement on his fellow man
Secret science was his game, justified by war
His spawn lay in the freezer
The killers that bore his name
The breeding house, you were there
And the sins of your fathers, In the breeding house
The breeding house, 731
And the sins of your fathers are the sins of your sons
Maybe within childhood he pulled off spiders legs
Now he's a big boy playing with big boys toys
Playing games he won't forget
A contract for some research, a paycheque in the mail
Their secret death defended by the ones that should have ended it
Angels of death in your white coats, so serene
devicing ways of dying, so obscene, so obscene
While Washington was bluffing about knickers and G-strings
their men were busy hiding evil things, evil things
The breeding house, you were there
And the sins of your fathers, In the breeding house
The breeding house, 731
And the sins of your fathers are the sins of your sons
Come to see the carnival, come to witness fear
Come and see deformity, all human life is here
A double-blind experiment on who's the last to die
A fifty year conspiracy of murders and of lies
Angels of death in your white coats, so serene
devicing ways of dying, so obscene, so obscene
While Washington was bluffing about knickers and G-strings
their men were busy hiding evil things, evil things
The breeding house, you were there
And the sins of your fathers, In the breeding house
The breeding house, 731
And the sins of your fathers are the sins of your sons
No Way Out... To Be Continued lyrics - Bruce Dickenson
Welcome to the world, young man
Welcome to the world that I have planned for you
It's all come true
Welcome to the city's gates,
camps of concentration for the poor
But not at my door
Welcome to the searchlights and the TV eyes
Watching you, watching me
Welcome to you new apartment, welcome to your block of fear
You're welcome here
Go away!
Locked inside a concrete cage with those cameras for my eyes
Outside are the population, the corpses and the flies
Got to keep my carpets clean,
you know there's mites and rats and mites and
things living in a shagpile
Fear of death is my recipe for life and I'm
locked in and I like it that way
I see no way out of here
There is no way out of here
I see no way out of here
Here I sit at my windowbox, I put flowers on the rocks for you
I don't put water on the cracks
because you know what cracks can do
Gotta keep myself secure, you know there's
emotions, feelings, killer bugs live in a shagpile
Fear of death is the guarantee of safety and I'm
locked in and I like it that way
I see no way out of here
There is no way out of here
I see no way out of here
No way out!
Flowers in the window box are blooming
I pour water on the rocks so they won't die
The pattern on the carpet shows I'm human
I don't step on the foolish cracks, so I won't fry
The sky is blue, the weather seems appealing
I lay my hand upon the armoured glass
No more blood, I think my wound is healing
Should I open it up, give it a try?
Welcome to the world, young man
Welcome to the world that I have planned for you
It's all come true
Welcome to the city's gates,
camps of concentration for the poor
But not at your door
Welcome to the searchlights and the TV-eyes
Watching me, watching you, watching me
I see no way out of here
There is no way out of here
I see no way out of here
Welcome to the world that I have planned for you
It's all come true
Welcome to the city's gates,
camps of concentration for the poor
But not at my door
Welcome to the searchlights and the TV eyes
Watching you, watching me
Welcome to you new apartment, welcome to your block of fear
You're welcome here
