Acoustic Song lyrics - Bruce Dickenson
We live and die like all the rest
Every summer has its sunset every year
Love and hope put to the test
Every grain of comfort holds the seed of fear
And I loved you long ago
And I love you still
But the roads that we have travelled took us far apart
Scattered to the four winds
Someday we will find the time to heal
And I loved you long ago
And the scars that bear my name
are the wounds that never heal
But the road that we have travelled took us far apart
And I love you still
And I loved you long ago
Every summer has its sunset every year
Love and hope put to the test
Every grain of comfort holds the seed of fear
And I loved you long ago
And I love you still
But the roads that we have travelled took us far apart
Scattered to the four winds
Someday we will find the time to heal
And I loved you long ago
And the scars that bear my name
are the wounds that never heal
But the road that we have travelled took us far apart
And I love you still
And I loved you long ago
Bed Of Nails lyrics - Bruce Dickenson
And here, my prize, the Black Widow.
Isn't she lovely? And so deadly.
Her kiss is fifteen times more poisonous than the rattlesnake.
And you see her venom is highly neurotoxic
Which is to say that it attacks the central nervous system
Causing intense pain
Profuse sweating
Difficulty in breathing
Loss of consciousness
Violent convulsions
And finally death.
You know what I think I love the most about her
Is her inborn need to dominate and possess.
Such power and dignity, unhampered by sentiment.
If I may put forward a slice of personal philosophy
I feel that man has ruled this world as a stumbling dimented child-king long enough!
And as his empire crumbles, my precious Black Widow shall rise as his most fitting successor!
These words he speaks are true
We're all humanary stew
If we don't pledge allegiance to
The Black Widow
The horror that he'll brings
The horror of his sting
The unholiest of kings
The Black Widow
Our minds will be destroyed
And every girl and boy
Will learn to be employed
The Black Widow
Love me
Yes we love me
Love him
Yes we love him
Love me
Yes we love him, oh
He sits upon his throne
And picks at all the bones
Of his husbands and his wives
He's devoured
He stares with a gleam
With a laugh so obscene
And the children and the virgins
He's deflowered
Love me
Yes we love me
Love him
Yes we love him
Love me
Yes we love him, oh
Our thoughts are hot and crazed
Our dreams are webbed in haze
Mindless, senseless daze
The Black Widow
These words he speaks are true
We're all humanary stew
If we don't pledge allegiance to
Ha-ha-ha, the Black Widow
The Black Widow
Sets free, oh, the children to me
Isn't she lovely? And so deadly.
Her kiss is fifteen times more poisonous than the rattlesnake.
And you see her venom is highly neurotoxic
Which is to say that it attacks the central nervous system
Causing intense pain
Profuse sweating
Difficulty in breathing
Loss of consciousness
Violent convulsions
And finally death.
You know what I think I love the most about her
Is her inborn need to dominate and possess.
Such power and dignity, unhampered by sentiment.
If I may put forward a slice of personal philosophy
I feel that man has ruled this world as a stumbling dimented child-king long enough!
And as his empire crumbles, my precious Black Widow shall rise as his most fitting successor!
These words he speaks are true
We're all humanary stew
If we don't pledge allegiance to

The horror that he'll brings
The horror of his sting

The Black Widow

And every girl and boy
Will learn to be employed
The Black Widow
Love me
Yes we love me
Love him
Yes we love him
Love me
Yes we love him, oh
He sits upon his throne
And picks at all the bones
Of his husbands and his wives
He's devoured
He stares with a gleam
With a laugh so obscene
And the children and the virgins
He's deflowered
Love me
Yes we love me

Yes we love him
Love me
Yes we love him, oh

Broken lyrics - Bruce Dickenson
I will not be pushed
I will not be stamped defiled
I will not be crushed
I am not your only child
I am not a freak
object of your own desire
I am not ashamed
I am not an alibi
[Chorus 1:]
I stand alone, now I can see
You won't bring me down
For all this pain and misery
I'm not broken
Crushed, crushed
I am not a pawn
This is not a game of chess
I am not a pin stuck into your shiny vest
I am not a slave
I will do what I do best
Walking out on you
Take my life and leave the rest
[Chorus 1]
[Chorus 2:]
All the hatred can't you see
You won't bring me down
All your lies have set me free
I'm not broken
[Chorus 1 & Chorus 2]
I'm not broken [x3]
I will not be stamped defiled
I will not be crushed
I am not your only child
I am not a freak
object of your own desire
I am not ashamed
I am not an alibi
[Chorus 1:]
I stand alone, now I can see
You won't bring me down
For all this pain and misery
I'm not broken
Crushed, crushed
I am not a pawn
This is not a game of chess
I am not a pin stuck into your shiny vest
I am not a slave
I will do what I do best
Walking out on you
Take my life and leave the rest
[Chorus 1]
[Chorus 2:]
All the hatred can't you see
You won't bring me down
All your lies have set me free
I'm not broken
[Chorus 1 & Chorus 2]
I'm not broken [x3]
Dracula lyrics - Bruce Dickenson
Waiting for the midnight hour [x6]
[Chorus:]
My name is
Dracula, Come here, I've something for you
Dracula, I need a little life
Dracula, And you are gonna be my wife
Walking through the town when the streets are bare in the night
Shadows everywhere, are you sure it's a trick of the light?
Fear is at your heal but you kick it away,
you're so sure there's nothing behind you
That's a mistake you can make just one time
I bet you thought that I was a ficticous guy from the movie screen
Now its far too late for you to break this date, you missed your chance to scream
My only sense of humor's in a jugular vein
and your neck is on the menu tonight
Soon you will know what it's like to be mine
[Chorus]
As long as you live
The Bride of Dracula
[x3]
As long as you live you'll be
Waiting, waiting for the midnight hour [x8]
[Chorus:]
My name is
Dracula, Come here, I've something for you
Dracula, I need a little life
Dracula, And you are gonna be my wife
Walking through the town when the streets are bare in the night
Shadows everywhere, are you sure it's a trick of the light?
Fear is at your heal but you kick it away,
you're so sure there's nothing behind you
That's a mistake you can make just one time
I bet you thought that I was a ficticous guy from the movie screen
Now its far too late for you to break this date, you missed your chance to scream
My only sense of humor's in a jugular vein
and your neck is on the menu tonight
Soon you will know what it's like to be mine
[Chorus]
As long as you live
The Bride of Dracula
[x3]
As long as you live you'll be
Waiting, waiting for the midnight hour [x8]
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
Midnight Jam lyrics - Bruce Dickenson
"Recording all of the above and some of the below"
Love is over like it never began
Flicker of life, the candle in his hand
Watch the fairy tale unfold, unwind
For this prize he travelled in his mind
Who is guilty, who decides
Who took her life, who gained a prize
Love is cheap, life's a lie
What kind of man would do this to his friend
Hand caressed, squeezed her life away
Slide into the darkness, the end of the day
Swallowed with the black, cover the light
To the fire, to the night
Love is over like it never began
Flicker of life, the candle in his hand
The queen is dying, dying and loved
Watch the fairy tale unfold, unwind, unravel
Now with his prize he'd slide into the forest beyond
You're alone, alone...forever
Alone forever
Alone forever
He's gonna be alone forever
Alone forever
Love is over like it never began
Flicker of life, the candle in his hand
Watch the fairy tale unfold, unwind
For this prize he travelled in his mind
Who is guilty, who decides
Who took her life, who gained a prize
Love is cheap, life's a lie
What kind of man would do this to his friend
Hand caressed, squeezed her life away
Slide into the darkness, the end of the day
Swallowed with the black, cover the light
To the fire, to the night
Love is over like it never began
Flicker of life, the candle in his hand
The queen is dying, dying and loved
Watch the fairy tale unfold, unwind, unravel
Now with his prize he'd slide into the forest beyond
You're alone, alone...forever
Alone forever
Alone forever
He's gonna be alone forever
Alone forever
Sabbath Bloody Sabbath lyrics - Bruce Dickenson
(originally by Black Sabbath)
You see life through distorted eyes
You know you have to learn
The execution of your mind
You really have to turn
The race is run, the book is read
The end begins to show
The truth is out, the lies are old
And you don't to know
Nobody will ever let you know
When you ask the reasons why
They just tell you that you're on your own
Fill your head all full of lieeeeeeeeeesssssss
The people who have crippled you
You want to see them burn
The gates of life have closed on you
And there's just no return
You're wishing that the hands of doom
Could take your mind away
And you don't care if you don't see
Again the light of day
Nobody will ever let you know
When you ask the reasons why
They just tell you that you're on your own
Fill your head all full of lieeeeeeeeeesssssss
You bastards!
Where can you run to?
What more can you do?
No more tomorrow
Life is killing you
Dreams turn to nightmares
Heaven turns to Hell
Burned out confusion
Nothing more to tell, yeah
Everything around you
What's it coming to?
God knows as your dog knows
Bog blast all of you
Sabbath, Bloody Sabbath
Nothing more to do
Living just for dying
Dying just for you, yeah
You see life through distorted eyes
You know you have to learn
The execution of your mind
You really have to turn
The race is run, the book is read
The end begins to show
The truth is out, the lies are old
And you don't to know
Nobody will ever let you know
When you ask the reasons why
They just tell you that you're on your own
Fill your head all full of lieeeeeeeeeesssssss
The people who have crippled you
You want to see them burn
The gates of life have closed on you
And there's just no return
You're wishing that the hands of doom
Could take your mind away
And you don't care if you don't see
Again the light of day
Nobody will ever let you know
When you ask the reasons why
They just tell you that you're on your own
Fill your head all full of lieeeeeeeeeesssssss
You bastards!
Where can you run to?
What more can you do?
No more tomorrow
Life is killing you
Dreams turn to nightmares
Heaven turns to Hell
Burned out confusion
Nothing more to tell, yeah
Everything around you
What's it coming to?
God knows as your dog knows
Bog blast all of you
Sabbath, Bloody Sabbath
Nothing more to do
Living just for dying
Dying just for you, yeah
Silver Wings lyrics - Bruce Dickenson
Sound of merlins fired up and their spoiling for the fight
1000 bombers ready, it's the target for tonight
Deeper into Germany, but we all know the score
I know that I'm not coming back like those that did before
Now the flare gun fires and we get the go
Say goodbye to the earth below
[Chorus:]
Tonight, on silver wings
I am soaring through the mountains of the moon
on silver wings
Flying where no angels fly
I have brought these engines to the very jaws of hell
Melat hearts are beating through this hail of shot and shell
Terror from the skies where the angels fear to tread
Nothing in my eyes, I am the living dead
Now the searchlight blinding us with its light
Can't shake this one off tonight
[Chorus]
The sky is bleeding gasoline and fuel is running low
Tanks are blown to pieces soon the wing is going to go
All the crew have bailed out over Essen long ago
But every night since 45 this bomber boy has stayed alive
I can't believe she's still in the sky
Me and my merlins fly
[Chorus]
on silver wings
I am soaring through the mountains of the moon
on silver wings
I can touch the face of God
1000 bombers ready, it's the target for tonight
Deeper into Germany, but we all know the score
I know that I'm not coming back like those that did before
Now the flare gun fires and we get the go
Say goodbye to the earth below
[Chorus:]
Tonight, on silver wings
I am soaring through the mountains of the moon
on silver wings
Flying where no angels fly
I have brought these engines to the very jaws of hell
Melat hearts are beating through this hail of shot and shell
Terror from the skies where the angels fear to tread
Nothing in my eyes, I am the living dead
Now the searchlight blinding us with its light
Can't shake this one off tonight
[Chorus]
The sky is bleeding gasoline and fuel is running low
Tanks are blown to pieces soon the wing is going to go
All the crew have bailed out over Essen long ago
But every night since 45 this bomber boy has stayed alive
I can't believe she's still in the sky
Me and my merlins fly
[Chorus]
on silver wings
I am soaring through the mountains of the moon
on silver wings
I can touch the face of God
The Zoo lyrics - Bruce Dickenson
(originally by Scorpions)
The job is done and I go out
Another boring day
I leave it all behind me now
So many worlds away
I meet my girl, she's dressed to kill
And all we gonna do
Is walk around to catch the thrill
On streets we call the zoo
We eat the night, we drink the time
Make our dreams come true
And hungry eyes are passing by
On streets we call the zoo
We eat the night, we drink the time
Make our dreams come true
And hungry eyes are passing by
On streets we call the zoo
Enjoy the zoo, and walk down
42nd Street
You gonna be excited too
And you will feel the heat
We eat the night, we drink the time
Make our dreams come true
And hungry eyes are passing by
On streets we call the zoo
We eat the night, we drink the time
Make our dreams come true
And hungry eyes are passing by
On streets we call the zoo
The job is done and I go out
Another boring day
I leave it all behind me now
So many worlds away
I meet my girl, she's dressed to kill
And all we gonna do
Is walk around to catch the thrill
On streets we call the zoo
We eat the night, we drink the time
Make our dreams come true
And hungry eyes are passing by
On streets we call the zoo
We eat the night, we drink the time
Make our dreams come true
And hungry eyes are passing by
On streets we call the zoo
Enjoy the zoo, and walk down
42nd Street
You gonna be excited too
And you will feel the heat
We eat the night, we drink the time
Make our dreams come true
And hungry eyes are passing by
On streets we call the zoo
We eat the night, we drink the time
Make our dreams come true
And hungry eyes are passing by
On streets we call the zoo
Wicker Man lyrics - Bruce Dickenson
When the dying western sun dips low
And the raincloud rises in the east
Between the lines of truth and the words of faith
Lie the fiery duties of the be priest
Stir the blood of ancient things
Drawing down the moon
From the hill of Tarna see the beltane fires
And the silent Celtic kings await
From the midnight hour to the light of dawn
Feel the mountain tremble and your heart will shake
Stir the memories of the stones
We are drawing down the moon
In the circle of the old ways
Of the wicker man...
Wicker man, wicker man
From the beacon hill,
cast your fire on this land
Wicker man, wicker man
From the beacon hill,
throw your ashes in our hands
Let the pendulum go
Let it sway away
Let the chimes ring out
On this solstice day
When the earth renews
When the seed reveals
When we are reborn
Every waking dream
When the earth renews itself
When the seed reveals itself
[x2]
When we are reborn
In every waking dream
Every tree and leaf
Every frozen stream
Wicker man
When the earth renews itself
Wicker man
When the seed reveals itself
Wicker man
When we are reborn
Wicker man
In every waking dream
Wicker man
Every tree and leaf
Wicker man
Every frozen stream
[x2]
And the raincloud rises in the east
Between the lines of truth and the words of faith
Lie the fiery duties of the be priest
Stir the blood of ancient things
Drawing down the moon
From the hill of Tarna see the beltane fires
And the silent Celtic kings await
From the midnight hour to the light of dawn
Feel the mountain tremble and your heart will shake
Stir the memories of the stones
We are drawing down the moon
In the circle of the old ways
Of the wicker man...
Wicker man, wicker man
From the beacon hill,
cast your fire on this land
Wicker man, wicker man
From the beacon hill,
throw your ashes in our hands
Let the pendulum go
Let it sway away
Let the chimes ring out
On this solstice day
When the earth renews
When the seed reveals
When we are reborn
Every waking dream
When the earth renews itself
When the seed reveals itself
[x2]
When we are reborn
In every waking dream
Every tree and leaf
Every frozen stream
Wicker man
When the earth renews itself
Wicker man
When the seed reveals itself
Wicker man
When we are reborn
Wicker man
In every waking dream
Wicker man
Every tree and leaf
Wicker man
Every frozen stream
[x2]
