Album: Dance Of Death
Gates Of Tomorrow lyrics:
Weaving a thread round your heart and your soul
Deceiving your eyes and delaying your goal
Ships in the night when they pass out of sight
Deliver their cargo of earthly delights
To the women and children, the souls of the dead
I've opened their book and no mercy is shed
You want forgiveness and you want it cheap
I don't give redemption rewards for the meek
Suffering evil when you pay the price of fame
There isn't a god to save you if you don't save yourself
You can't blame a madman if you go insane
Give me the strength so I carry on
[Chorus:]
Trapped in the web - but I cut the threads
Show you the gates of tomorrow
Trapped in the web - no mercy is shed
Show you the gates of tomorrow
Trapped in the web - slaves to the dead
Show you the gates of tomorrow
Trapped in the web - but I cut the threads
Show you the gates of tomorrow
[Repeat 3rd verse, chorus]

![Iron Maiden - The Prisoner
Album: The Number Of The Beast
The Prisoner lyrics:
We want information, information, information.
Who are you?
The new number two.
Who is number one?
You are number six.
I am not a number, I am a free man.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
Im on the run, I kill to eat.
Im starving now, Im feeling dead on my feet.
Going all the way, Im natures beast.
Do what I want, Ill do as I please.
Run! Fight! To breathe! Its tough!
Now you see me (haha!) Now you dont.
Break the walls, Im coming out.
Not a prisoner Im a free man,
And my blood is my own now.
Dont care, where the past was,
I know where Im going...Out!
If you kill me, its self-defense,
If I kill you, then I call it vengeance.
Spit in your eye, I will defy,
youll be afraid when I call out your name.
Run! Fight! To breathe! Its gonna be tough!
Now you see me, and now you dont.
Break the walls, Im coming out.
Not a prisoner, Im a free man,
And my blood is my own now.
Dont care, where the past was,
I know where Im going.
Im not a number, Im a free man,
Live my life where I want to.
Youd better scratch me from your black book,
cause Ill run rings around you.
[Solo]
Not a prisoner, Im a free man,
And my blood is my own now.
Dont care where the past was,
I know where Im going.
Im not a number, Im a free man,
Live my life where I want to.
Youd better scratch me from your black book,
cause Ill run rings around you.
Not a prisoner, Im a free man,
And my blood is my own now.
Dont care where the past was,
I know where Im going. Iron Maiden - The Prisoner](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/bT4GjqnXk5A/mqdefault.jpg)





![Iron Maiden - Bring Your Daughter... To The Slaughter
Album: No Prayer For The Dying
Bring Your Daughter... To The Slaughter lyrics:
Honey its getting close to midnight
And all the myths are still in town
True love and lipstick on your linen
Bite the pillow make no sound
If theres some living to be done (HA)
Before your life becomes your tomb
Youd better know that Im the one
So unchain your back door invite me around
[Chorus]
Bring your daughter, bring your daughter to the slaughter
Let her go, let her go, let her go
Honey its getting close to daybreak
The sun is creeping in the sky
No patent remedies for heartache
Just empty words and humble pie
So get down on your knees honey
Assume an attitude
You just pray that Ill be waiting
Cos you know Im coming soon
[Chorus]
So pick up your foolish pride, no going back
No where, no way, no place to hide
[Chorus] Iron Maiden - Bring Your Daughter... To The Slaughter](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/eLJmf3F-3w4/mqdefault.jpg)

![Iron Maiden - Rainmaker
Album: Dance Of Death
Rainmaker lyrics:
When I was wandering in the desert
And was searching for the truth
I heard a choir of angels calling out my name
I had the feeling that my life would never be the same again
I turned my face towards the barren sun
And I know of the pain that you feel the same as me
And I dream of the rain as it falls upon the leaves
And the cracks in our lives like the cracks upon the ground
They are sealed and are now washed away
[Chorus:]
You tell me we can start the rain
You tell me that we all can change
You tell me we can find something to wash the tears away
You tell me we can start the rain
You tell me that we all can change
You tell me we can find something to wash the tears.....
And I know of the pain that you feel the same as me
And I dream of the rain as it falls upon the leaves
And the cracks in the ground like the cracks are in our lives
They are sealed and now far away
