He and his son Icarus fashioned wings from feathers and wax and made their escape, but Icarus flew too near the sun, melting the wax that held the feathers, and he fell to his death in the sea. ''It's a really good song but we much prefer it live. We tend to play it a little bit faster live. Looking back on it now we feel we could have played it at the faster speed on the album. This little extra touch gives it a bit more fire. If you're counting solos, this is Dave. '' Steve Harris

It marks Bruce's return to his more melodic style of singing. He was also assisted by another former Iron Maiden member Adrian Smith and the two would later return to the band in early 1999. Thanks to the slightly bigger success of this album, Bruce would work with Roy Z in the future on his solo albums (including his latest, Tyranny of Souls).Around the time he was creating the album, Bruce Dickinson's mother told him that he was the result of a "failed abortion." The album title and the title track are a reference to this revelation: Bruce was a birth that shouldn't have been. It is not clear whether it was an actual botched abortion or that his mother was expressing regret at not having aborted her pregnancy.The cover art was done by Derek Riggs, best known for being the creator of Iron Maiden's mascot Eddie and the artwork on all Iron Maiden albums/singles/posters/tour brochures throughout 1980-1990. (Source : Wikipedia)Most of the songs on the album featured Roy Z on guitar. His real name is Roy Romeriz but, in his words, "back in the '80s it wasn't really all that cool to have an ethnic last name, so I flipped it around and it became 'Zerimar.' Eventually, people just started abbreviating it for convenience sake's and called me 'Z,' and it stuck." However, the song "Ghost of Cain" (which was featured on the single) had Adrian Smith on guitar. Smith was the guitarist for Iron Maiden from 1980-1990 until leaving for his solo project, ASAP (Adrian Smith And Project). "Ghost of the Navigator" was the name of a song on Brave New World, the first Maiden album released after Dickinson rejoined the band.Bruce Dickinson, about the album: "The truth is never clear... until it clobbers you over the head. That's what happened when I decided to make the ultimate metal record. My favorite stuff, legends, sci-fi, fairy stories, dark deeds of the occult, set to slamming riffs, soaring vocals and great tunes."

The clock reached 2 minutes to midnight in September 1953, after the Soviets successfully detonated an awesomely powerful thermonuclear device. Today the clock stands at 7 minutes to midnight after little progress was made on global nuclear disarmament. In 2002, the United States rejected a series of arms control treaties and announced it will withdraw from the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty.''

As with the previous album, it featured Iron Maiden guitarist Adrian Smith, former (and once again current) bandmate of Dickinson.The film, Chemical Wedding, with a screenplay by Dickinson, was released in May 2008. It features the title track from the album on its soundtrack, but concerns a story about the reincarnation of Aleister Crowley and is otherwise unrelated. (Source: Wikipedia)The songs Dickinson wrote for the album had a general "alchemy" theme (alchemy is the psuedo-science in which the practicers of alchemia attempted to make gold from other metals) "and specifically the poetry of William Blake, which is very much based on the philosophy of alchemy." Dickinson also said: "Each song has a sort of frame in which it operates. The first song is about fear, the second song is about tragedy, the third song is about union. You could pick a theme or a topic for each song so that's what the song is about and then you put it in a frame. For example, one of the songs is about failure and the song is called "The Trumpets of Jericho." In the story of the trumpets of Jericho in the Bible, the walls fall down when the tribes of Israel walk around the city and blow they trumpets. Except in this song they don't, it doesn't work. You're done everything right, everything's cool but the wall's still standing. And what do you do? How do you face up to that fact? And it's all part of the whole alchemy thing. What were the alchemists trying to do? They were trying to achieve something that was virtually impossible, they spent their whole lives trying to do it, and all of them failed, or pretty damn near all of them failed. So, what does that feel like, and how does that work, and why keep carrying on. So that's the way the songs kind of work. And you don't have to go into them in all this detail, you could just sit back there and let it hit you over the head like a sledgehammer cause the album works it's just a really heavy album. But it's all there if you want to dig through the words.

According to Bruce, when his son was a child he said he was "Laughing in the Hiding Bush" instead of "Hiding in the Laughing Bush". The "Laughing Bush" was a nickname for a bush in their home.''Balls to Picasso'' is a Hard rock album released in 1994 and is the second effort in Bruce Dickinson's solo career. The ballad "Tears of the Dragon" stayed for many months on top the of charts in countries like Brazil where Dickinson has a large fanbase.This record marked the beginning of Dickinson's collaborations with Roy Z, who would work on many of Dickinson's later albums including Accident of Birth, The Chemical Wedding and Tyranny of Souls. Stylistically it departs from Tattooed Millionaire but is still more traditional-sounding than the follow-up album Skunkworks released in 1996. Later, Dickinson said that he and Roy Z were talked into making the album less heavy than it should have been.Dickinson started working on his second solo album while still in Iron Maiden. For the very first recording sessions he recruited the british band Skin. Not satisfied with the style of the effort, Dickinson aborted the recording. His next attempt at a second solo album was a collaboration with producer Keith Olsen. Dickinson decided to scrap this project as well and teamed up with guitarist Roy Z and his band Tribe Of Gypsies to write and record Balls To Picasso. Songs from the previous recording sessions later resurfaced as b-sides on singles from Balls To Picasso and subsequently also as bonus tracks on the album's 2005 extended edition. (Source: Wikipedia)

As with the previous album, it featured Iron Maiden guitarist Adrian Smith, former (and once again current) bandmate of Dickinson.The film, Chemical Wedding, with a screenplay by Dickinson, was released in May 2008. It features the title track from the album on its soundtrack, but concerns a story about the reincarnation of Aleister Crowley and is otherwise unrelated. (Source: Wikipedia)The songs Dickinson wrote for the album had a general "alchemy" theme (alchemy is the psuedo-science in which the practicers of alchemia attempted to make gold from other metals) "and specifically the poetry of William Blake, which is very much based on the philosophy of alchemy." Dickinson also said: "Each song has a sort of frame in which it operates. The first song is about fear, the second song is about tragedy, the third song is about union. You could pick a theme or a topic for each song so that's what the song is about and then you put it in a frame. For example, one of the songs is about failure and the song is called "The Trumpets of Jericho." In the story of the trumpets of Jericho in the Bible, the walls fall down when the tribes of Israel walk around the city and blow they trumpets. Except in this song they don't, it doesn't work. You're done everything right, everything's cool but the wall's still standing. And what do you do? How do you face up to that fact? And it's all part of the whole alchemy thing. What were the alchemists trying to do? They were trying to achieve something that was virtually impossible, they spent their whole lives trying to do it, and all of them failed, or pretty damn near all of them failed. So, what does that feel like, and how does that work, and why keep carrying on. So that's the way the songs kind of work. And you don't have to go into them in all this detail, you could just sit back there and let it hit you over the head like a sledgehammer cause the album works it's just a really heavy album. But it's all there if you want to dig through the words.

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 ................................................ Tears Of The Dragon (B. Dickinson / Roy Z] [Lyrics] 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 ghost 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 icy 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... ................................. Strange Death in Paradise is is a song from Bruce Dickinson's third solo album Skunkworks released in 1996. Bruce Dickinson interview 1996: ''Skunk works is the name of the design bureau of Lockheed Aviation company that very secret and advanced aircraft. Planes that can't be seen on radar and the Blackbird which is the worlds fastest and highest flying aeroplane. They designed the U-2, Americas first jetfighter back at the end of the second world war, the F-104 Starfighter, all kinds of really very revolutionary jetplanes. Skunk Works is their nickname which became the semi-official title. So we changed it from being two words to just one word. So on the cover it says Skunkworks. ... So we thought...hhmm..if we can make records as they make aeroplanes...he he he!'' Originally, Bruce intended for Skunkworks to be the debut album of a band by the same name. However, the label would not publish the record under any other name than Bruce Dickinson. The album sounds quite different from Bruce's other solo works. Most songs in this album have the central theme being science and/or related themes. Furthermore, the songs are relatively short, with most running around 3 minutes. The band didn't last and for his next solo project, Accident of Birth, he teamed up with guitarist Roy Z. In 2005, Skunkworks album was re-released and the 2005 extended version included songs performed live, such as "Inertia", "Faith", "Innerspace", "The Prisoner" and other previously unreleased songs. .................................. ''Tears Of The Dragon'' is a song from Bruce Dickinson's second solo album, Balls to Picasso released in 1994. This record marked the beginning of Dickinson's collaborations with Roy Z, who would work on many of Dickinson's later albums including Accident of Birth, The Chemical Wedding and Tyranny of Souls. Stylistically it departs from Tattooed Millionaire but is still more traditional-sounding than the follow-up album Skunkworks released in 1996. Later, Dickinson said that he and Roy Z were talked into making the album less heavy than it should have been. Dickinson started working on his second solo album while still in Iron Maiden. For the very first recording sessions he recruited the british band Skin. Not satisfied with the style of the effort, Dickinson aborted the recording. His next attempt at a second solo album was a collaboration with producer Keith Olsen. Dickinson decided to scrap this project as well and teamed up with guitarist Roy Z and his band Tribe Of Gypsies to write and record Balls To Picasso. (Source: Wikipedia)

Run To The Hills...................................................Bruce Dickinson:VocalsSteve Harris:BassJanick Gers:GuitarDave Murray:GuitarAdrian Smith:GuitarNicko McBrain:Drums..................................................The 2003 - 2004 tour was a strange one in the way that it was split in two parts, the division occurring with the release of the Dance Of Death album. The first part, funnily named "Give Me Ed... 'Til I'm Dead", was reminiscent of the Ed Hunter reunion tour as the setlist was - with one notable exception - composed of old songs, some of them not having been played in many years. Bruce commented that "This tour is all about having fun as the name suggests" and the official explanation for it was that it was an appetiser before the release of the album. What springs to mind is that the Dance Of Death album may have been expected for release earlier than it did but, due to unforeseen problems, it only hit the shelves in September whereas the concert venues had already been booked by the band's management. Iron Maiden then had to play the shows with a setlist that would please the fans while avoiding new songs that hadn't been made public by then. But this is, of course, pure speculation. Only "Wildest Dreams", from the forthcoming album, was played live as a preview of what the album was going to sound like. Bruce Dickinson explained himself that this song could be taped and transferred into mp3 files for Internet diffusion. His own words were:''The album is not out yet, but please pull out your small digital recorders, mp3 players, cell phones or whatever you have. Put it on the Internet, spread it all over the world. But on one condition: When you hear the new album, if you like it, pay the equivalent of three beers to buy the record in the store. That is what keeps us alive. If you don't like the album, just forget it.'' [Bruce Dickinson, Oslo, Norway - 2nd July 2003]He even added "We're not like Metallica" to further stress that those who are openly against mp3s have a losing battle on their hands. Iron Maiden simply have a very sane and sensible attitude towards evolving technology and they have realised the positive potential of it. MP3s should be about sampling the music and then buying the album if you liked what you heard, not about stealing someone's intellectual property. This is merely what Bruce meant.The main particularity of this song is that it was the first song of the album to have been disclosed to the audience during the "Gimme Ed... 'Til I'm Dead" tour that took place prior to the release of the Dance of Death album, and Bruce warned the audience at every concert that he didn't care if the song was illegally recorded and posted as an mp3 file on the Internet, as long as people were going to buy the album on the day of its release. This marks the beginning of a new attitude towards the diffusion of music files over the Net, far remote from Metallica's who initiated court cases during the infamous "Napster Incident", and thus made themselves very unpopular.Iron Maiden have understood that the mp3s anyone can download from the Net should be an appetiser, either before an album release or to get to know an album before buying it. People who download music without ever buying the albums are committing a crime by law -- such a crime's name is simply "theft" -- and are abusing this great system that allows the sampling of an album before its purchase. Steve commented quite rightly a few years ago that, because of such an electronic diffusion of music, they would have to re-think the way they do things in the future, and that's exactly what they did. Not a single note of the album was to be found on the Internet prior to the release of Dance of Death, and "Wildest Dreams" was only known through the poor-quality live recordings that were made during the tour. This manoeuvre actually raised the fans' curiosity and constituted a pretty good marketing gimmick. Maiden had cleverly turned illegal diffusion of music files to their advantage, and fuelled more interest in their upcoming album than before...............................................Before 'The Clansman', Bruce bitches about some Iron Maiden bb'er who claimed that Bruce lip synched 'Children Of The Damned' at Irvine, even though the band did not play that song.From Nicko's diary: '' The gig was great, we played really well and the crowd loved it.

The evil that men do lives on and on... The evil that men do lives on and on... The evil that men do lives on and on...

'The Evil That Men Do' is a song from Iron Maiden's album ''Seventh Son Of A Sevent Son'',released in 1988. ''The title of this song is taken from a quote in William Shakespeare's Julius Cæsar. It is part of Marcus Antonius's speech as he addresses the crowd of Romans after Cæsar's murder, defending the defunct ruler and forcefully, yet indirectly, condemning Brutus, one of the murderers. ..................... Tribuzy is a Brazilian heavy metal band fronted by Renato Tribuzy. They have toured with Iron Maiden frontman Bruce Dickinson and guitarist/producer Roy Z. A live album, called Execution - Live Reunion, was released in May 2007. Renato Tribuzy began his career in the early age of 12 in an Iron Maiden cover band. Four years later he and a few friends started a band called Horizon, when he was 16 years old. The band was quite successful and well known, counting on with a legion of fans. They were the first metal band in Rio de Janeiro to receive the support of a small record company. Later on, after the band broke up, Tribuzy started a new band, in 1997, named Thoten. In the same year the band released a demo. In 2001 Thoten release their first album, called "Beyond Tomorrow", and in the following year they released it in Mexico, South America, Europe and Taiwan. The album was produced by Kiko Loureiro, Angra's guitarist. Soon Thoten was touring in Europe and South America, performing on the best radios and pubs and participating on the Aglutination Festival IV, as co headline, in Chiaromonte ( Italy) Lima Metal Fest II as headline ( Peru). Thoten tour was the main subject of every single metal magazine in Europe and South America. The tour went by the following countries: Sweden, Denmark, Italy, Norway, Finland, Peru and Brazil. Tribuzy decided to leave Thoten and work harder on his career take-off, investing his time and talent on the make-up of Execution. Ask any headbanger in the world what would be the Heavy Metal "Dream Team" and at least one of these names will be said: Bruce Dickinson,Michael Kiske, Roland Grapow, Kiko Loureiro,Ralf Scheepers,Matt Sinner,Roy Z,Chris Dale. Renato Tribuzy gathered the best musicians of the heavy metal scene together on an album that has already made its mark in heavy metal history: Execution. Execution is a sonic experience. An album that mixes the best of Metal with strength, melody and the talent of the most respected musicians on the scene, playing nine songs written by Tribuzy and a cover ("Nature Of Evil", from the German band Sinner). The musical influences used by Tribuzy during the writing process were the great classics such as Powerslave (Iron Maiden), And Justice For All (Metallica) and other 80's heavy music.

Thoten tour was the main subject of every single metal magazine in Europe and South America. The tour went by the following countries: Sweden, Denmark, Italy, Norway, Finland, Peru and Brazil. Tribuzy decided to leave Thoten and work harder on his career take-off, investing his time and talent on the make-up of Execution. Ask any headbanger in the world what would be the Heavy Metal "Dream Team" and at least one of these names will be said: Bruce Dickinson,Michael Kiske, Roland Grapow, Kiko Loureiro,Ralf Scheepers,Matt Sinner,Roy Z,Chris Dale. Renato Tribuzy gathered the best musicians of the heavy metal scene together on an album that has already made its mark in heavy metal history: Execution. Execution is a sonic experience. An album that mixes the best of Metal with strength, melody and the talent of the most respected musicians on the scene, playing nine songs written by Tribuzy and a cover ("Nature Of Evil", from the German band Sinner). The musical influences used by Tribuzy during the writing process were the great classics such as Powerslave (Iron Maiden), And Justice For All (Metallica) and other 80's heavy music.

Iron Maiden-10.Running Free (MSG,New York 2010) Ancutzamica1 2010-08-18 | Iron Maiden - Madison Square Garden, New York City, NY, US, July 12, 2010, during the Final Frontier Tour 2010. Special thanks for this DVD goes to NYCBC (New York City Bitch Committee). Running Free (Harris, Di'Anno) Bruce Dickinson:Vocals Steve Harris:Bass Janick Gers:Guitar Dave Murray:Guitar Adrian Smith:Guitar Nicko McBrain:Drums [Lyrics] Just sixteen a pickup truck, out of money out of luck I've got nowhere to call my own, hit the gas and here I go I'm running free yeah! I'm running free I'm running free yeah! Oh I'm running free Spent the night in an L.A. jail and listened to the sirens wail They ain't got a thing on me, I'm running wild I'm running free I'm running free yeah! I'm running free I'm running free yeah! Oh I'm running free Pulled her at the Bottle Top, whisky dancing disco hop Now all the boys are after me and that's the way it's gonna be I'm running free yeah! I'm running free I'm running free yeah! Oh I'm running free ................................. 'Running Free' is a song from Iron Maiden's album ''Iron Maiden'',released in 1980. ''Running Free' came together when I put a riff to the main drum beat by Doug Sampson. The part in the middle I worked up from a bunch of bits I wrote. We thought we'd try and do something a bit different. Most songs have a guitar solo in the middle. We always tried to do things a little differently. We thought instead of a guitar solo we'd have a guitar break which would consist of guitar runs and harmonies.'' (Steve Harris) "Running Free" was Maiden's first single, and is still a Maiden classic and one of their most memorable songs. It is a very simple song by Maiden standards, with a repetitive tune and chorus, but it still manages to convey some energy. "Running Free" is a much better song when played live, and indeed it has been a concert staple over the years. Despite all that, this song is far from being one of the best on this album -- it's just a bit too simple and repetitive to make it a really good Maiden composition. Early versions of this song had a guitar solo by Dave Murray, but for some reason the solo was dropped before the album was released. That's a shame because the solo added an interesting spark of energy that now seems to be lacking. The story is basically that of a runaway American teenager who hitch-hikes his way through the country in pursuit of fun (of course, this could happen in any other country). It is not clear why he spends a night in a Los Angeles jail (maybe just for the rime!), although one may suspect that the vagrancy laws of California are somewhat tougher than those in Britain. Nevertheless, he successfully manages to pick up a girl at some bar called The Bottle Top, which has probably angered the "natives", as "all the boys are after [him]". He doesn't seem to mind, but quite on the opposite seems to enjoy it. There are some wild youths who like to live dangerously! Paul Di'Anno was asked what "Running Free" was about by Shan Siva, of battlehelm.com, and here's his answer: "'Running Free' is about me as a kid. My mum ruled my life, but she said to me, 'You live in a shit area, but do what you can do and see what happens... As long as you don't hurt anybody, just get on with it'. But I did get into trouble with the law a few times and that's the only thing I wish I could change... The grief I gave my poor mama. I never really knew my real dad, but my step dad was really cool. Sometimes, he'd surprise us and walk in when we were doing some speed, but he'd just brush it off as long as it wasn't heroin or the hard shit. I don't have the same attitude with my kids, though -- if I catch 'em with anything I'll kick the crap outta them." Yet another interesting story by master story-teller Paul Di'Anno. Is there any truth in this? Probably somewhere.

Bruce Dickinson:Vocals Steve Harris:Bass Janick Gers:Guitar Dave Murray:Guitar Adrian Smith:Guitar Nicko McBrain:Drums The Number Of The Beast (Harris) [Lyrics] '' Woe to you, oh Earth and Sea, for the Devil sends the beast with wrath, because he knows the time is short... -- Revelations 12:12 Let him who hath understanding reckon the number of the beast for it is a human number, its number is Six hundred and sixty six.'' Revelations 13:18 I left alone, my mind was blank I needed time to think, to get the memories from my mind What did I see? Can I believe That what I saw that night was real and not just fantasy Just what I saw in my old dreams Were they reflections of my warped mind staring back at me 'Cause in my dreams it's always there The evil face that twists my mind and brings me to despair Night was black, was no use holding back 'Cause I just had to see was someone watching me In the mist dark figures move and twist Was this all for real or just some kind of hell? Six six six -- the Number of the Beast Hell and fire was spawned to be released Torches blazed and sacred chants were praised As they start to cry hands held to the sky In the night the fires burning bright The ritual has begun Satan's work is done Six six six -- the Number of the Beast Sacrifice is going on tonight This can't go on I must inform the law Can this still be real or some crazy dream? But I feel drawn toward the evil chanting hordes Seem to mesmerize me, can't avoid their eyes Six six six -- the Number of the Beast Six six six -- the one for you and me I'm coming back, I will return And I'll possess your body and I'll make you burn I have the fire, I have the force I have the power to make my evil take its course .................................... Hallowed Be Thy Name (Harris) [Lyrics] I'm waiting in my cold cell when the bell begins to chime Reflecting on my past life and it doesn't have much time 'Cause at five o'clock they'll take me to the gallows pole The sands of time for me are running low... Running low... When the priest comes to read me the last rites I take a look through the bars at the last sights Of a world that has gone very wrong for me Can it be there's been some kind of error Hard to stop the surmounting terror Is it really the end not some crazy dream? Somebody please tell me that I'm dreaming It's not easy to stop from screaming But words escape me when I try to speak Tears they flow but why am I crying? After all I'm not afraid of dying Don't I believe that there never is an end? As the guards march me out to the courtyard Someone calls from a cell "God be with you!" If there's a god then why has he let me go? As I walk all my life drifts before me And though the end is near I'm not sorry Catch my soul it's willing to fly away Mark my words please believe my soul lives on Please don't worry now that I have gone I've gone beyond to see the truth When you know that your time is close at hand Maybe then you'll begin to understand Life down here is just a strange illusion Yeah! Hallowed be Thy name! Hallowed be Thy name! .............................. Both songs are from the Iron Maiden's album ''The Number Of The Beast''.The album was released in 1982. The Number Of The Beast .''Basically this song is about a dream. It's not about devil worship. '' (Steve Harris) This song was loosely inspired by the 1978 movie Omen II, and a Steve Harris nightmare. It begins ominously with quoted text from the Bible. Hallowed Be Thy Name ''That's one of my favourite songs and still one we play live. We're trying to create a mood with the build-up of the song. The classical guitar-like opening was Dave building the mood, with bells in the background. It's about someone with only a few hours left to live. In concert the end part of this one takes off. Dave takes the first solo and then Adrian.''(Steve Harris) The unfolding story of the song is seen through the eyes of a man who, facing imminent death, experiences first anguish, then terror, and finally hope that he will return -- hence the final line taken from the Lord's Prayer. The sentence referring to life being "just a strange illusion" should probably not be taken literally, and it seems to be indicating that the way most people consider their own lives is an illusion and not life itself. They have this illusion that the life they're living is the one that was meant for them, and this prevents them from looking any further. They often never fulfill their original dreams because they have been deceived by all those fake dreams that have been instilled into them by society.(Source:www.ironmaidencommentary.com)

Special thanks for this DVD goes to NYCBC (New York City Bitch Committee). Bruce Dickinson:Vocals Steve Harris:Bass Janick Gers:Guitar Dave Murray:Guitar Adrian Smith:Guitar Nicko McBrain:Drums Fear Of The Dark (Harris) [Lyrics] I am a man who walks alone And when I'm walking a dark road At night or strolling through the park When the light begins to change I sometimes feel a little strange A little anxious when it's dark Fear of the dark, fear of the dark I have a constant fear that something's always near Fear of the dark, fear of the dark I have a phobia that someone's always there Have you run your fingers down the wall And have you felt your neck skin crawl When you're searching for the light? Sometimes when you're scared to take a look At the corner of the room You've sensed that something's watching you Fear of the dark, fear of the dark I have a constant fear that something's always near Fear of the dark, fear of the dark I have a phobia that someone's always there Have you ever been alone at night Thought you heard footsteps behind And turned around and no-one's there? And as you quicken up your pace You find it hard to look again Because you're sure there's someone there Fear of the dark, fear of the dark I have a constant fear that something's always near Fear of the dark, fear of the dark I have a phobia that someone's always there Fear of the dark, fear of the dark Fear of the dark, fear of the dark Fear of the dark, fear of the dark Fear of the dark, fear of the dark Watching horror films the night before Debating witches and folklore The unknown troubles on your mind Maybe your mind is playing tricks You sense and suddenly eyes fix On dancing shadows from behind Fear of the dark, fear of the dark I have a constant fear that something's always near Fear of the dark, fear of the dark I have a phobia that someone's always there When I'm walking a dark road, I am a man who walks alone... ..................................... Iron Maiden (Harris) [Lyrics] Won't you come into my room I wanna show you all my wares I just want to see your blood I just want to stand and stare See the blood begin to flow as it falls upon the floor Iron Maiden can't be fought Iron Maiden can't be sought Oh well, wherever, wherever you are Iron Maiden's gonna get you no matter how far See the blood flow, watching it shed up above my head Iron Maiden wants you for dead Won't you come into my room I wanna show you all my wares I just want to see your blood I just want to stand and stare See the blood begin to flow as it falls upon the floor Iron Maiden can't be fought Iron Maiden can't be sought Oh well, wherever, wherever you are Iron Maiden's gonna get you no matter how far See the blood flow, watching it shed up above my head Iron Maiden wants you for dead .................................... 'Fear Of The Dark' is a song from Iron Maiden's album ''Fear Of The Dark'',released in 1992 According to Bruce Dickinson, Steve -- who wrote the lyrics -- is himself actually afraid of the dark. Whether this is true or not is not important, as he seems to have transposed in a very clever way the childhood fear of being left alone at night in the dark -- a very common fear in children that most of us have probably experienced at a younger age -- and turned this irrational phobia into an adult metaphor. It is basically about the fear of losing control and drifting into the madness that threatens virtually everyone at one point or another in life.(Source:www.ironmaidencommentary.com) ...................................................................... 'Iron Maiden' is a song from Iron Maiden's album ''Iron Maiden'',released in 1980. ''As long as I can remember we've closed our set with this song. It's quite simple. The bass line is fairly straightforward as is the drumming. But the guitar is over the top with harmony, and the bass is descending behind it. I think this makes it pretty special.'' (Steve Harris) Note that an "Iron Maiden" was a medieval torture instrument looking like a sarcophagus, and whose "door" was embedded with sharp spikes. It was usually used vertically and the victim was put inside before the door was allowed to slowly close under the influence of its own weight. What a horrible way to die! More recently, "Iron Maiden" was the nickname of Margaret "Maggie" Thatcher who was head of the Conservative party in the U.K., then elected Prime Minister of Britain around the time the band started. She appears on the cover sleeves of the Sanctuary and Women In Uniform singles.''(Source:www.ironmaidencommentary.com)

Bruce Dickinson:Vocals Steve Harris:Bass Janick Gers:Guitar Dave Murray:Guitar Adrian Smith:Guitar Nicko McBrain:Drums No More Lies (Harris) [Lyrics] There's a darkening sky before me, there's no time to prepare Salvage a last horizon, but no regrets from me Maybe I'll be back some other day to live again just who can say In what shape or form that I might be, just another chance for me A hurried time, no disgrace, instead of racing to conclusions And wishing all my life away, no-one can stop me now Time is up, it couldn't last but there's more things I'd like to do I'm coming back to try again someday maybe I'll wait till then No more lies, no more lies [x4] They're all sitting at my table, talking tall and drinking wine Their time is up just like me, but they just don't know it yet So just a word of warning when you're in your deepest dreams There's nothing you can hide from, I've got my eye on you The clock is fast, the hour is near, eventful past is ever clear My life is set, the time is here, I think I'm coming home No more lies, no more lies [x4] A hurried time, no disgrace, instead of racing to conclusions Wishing all your life away, no-one can stop me now Time is up, it couldn't last but there's more things I have to do I'm coming back to try again don't tell me that this is the end No more lies, no more lies [x5] No more lies... ..................................... Brave New World (Murray, Harris, Dickinson) [Lyrics] Dying swans twisted wings, beauty not needed here Lost my love, lost my life, in this garden of fear I have seen many things, in a lifetime alone Mother love is no more, bring this savage back home Wilderness house of pain, makes no sense of it all Close this mind dull this brain, Messiah before his fall What you see is not real, those who know will not tell All is lost sold your souls to this brave new world A brave new world, in a brave new world A brave new world, in a brave new world In a brave new world, a brave new world In a brave new world, a brave new world Dragon kings dying queens, where is salvation now Lost my life lost my dreams, rip the bones from my flesh Silent screams laughing here, dying to tell you the truth You are planned and you are damned in this brave new world A brave new world, in a brave new world A brave new world, in a brave new world In a brave new world, a brave new world In a brave new world, a brave new world A brave new world, in a brave new world A brave new world, in a brave new world In a brave new world, a brave new world In a brave new world, a brave new world Dying swans twisted wings, bring this savage back home .................................. ''No More Lies'' is a song from the thirteenth studio album ''Dance of Death'' by Iron Maiden,released first in Japan on September 2 and rest of the world on September 8, 2003. The lyrics deal with a character who knows that his time has come, with the darkening sky representing the beginning of the end (Steve Harris has himself mentioned that the lyrics quite match the story of the Last Supper in the Bible). However, this particular character seems to have lived his life to the full and does not express any regrets to leave this world. There is a hint as to the possibility of reincarnation ("Maybe I'll be back some other day"), as is customary in many Maiden songs that deal with death. The title "No More Lies" itself could have different interpretations. It could be that, when the end comes, there's no more time to lie about how we see our life. The illusions we had about our past simply vanish and we're confronted to the truth, no matter how much we tried to hide from it before. On the other hand, it could also represent the hope that, if there is a next life, it won't be filled with lies as the previous one was. Wipe the slate clean and start all over again, with truth and honesty -- "I'm coming back to try again". Even if there is such a thing as reincarnation or another life, it seems doubtful that truth will prevail then, as it never did before anyway.(Source:www.ironmaidencommentary.com) ''Brave New World''is a song from the twelfth studio album''Brave New World'' by Iron Maiden, released on 30 May 2000. Based on the 1932 novel by Aldous Huxley [1894--1963], this is once again a classic-to-be of Iron Maiden. The story that inspired the lyrics of the song takes place in what was at the time of Huxley's writing a futuristic world state with the motto: "Community, Identity, Stability".

Special thanks for this DVD goes to NYCBC (New York City Bitch Committee). Wildest Dreams (Smith, Harris) Bruce Dickinson:Vocals Steve Harris:Bass Janick Gers:Guitar Dave Murray:Guitar Adrian Smith:Guitar Nicko McBrain:Drums [Lyrics] I'm gonna organise some changes in my life I'm going to exorcise the demons of my past I'm gonna take the car and hit the open road I'm feeling ready to just open up and go And I just feel that I can be anything That I might ever wish to be And fantasize just what I want to be Make my wildest dreams come true I'm on my way, out on my own again I'm on my way, out on the road again When I remember back to how that things just used to be And I was stuck inside a shroud of misery I felt I disappeared so deep inside myself I couldn´t find a way to break away the hell When I'm feeling down and low I vow I'll never be the same again I just remember what I am And visualise just what I'm gonna be I'm on my way, out on my own again I'm on my way, I'm gonna break away I'm gonna break away I'm out on my own I'm out on my own Gonna break away Break it away I'm on my way, out on my own again [x5] I'm on my way, I'm gonna break away ......................................... ''Wildest Dreams'' is a song from thirteenth studio album ''Dance of Death'' by Iron Maiden,released first in Japan on September 2 and rest of the world on September 8, 2003. The main particularity of this song is that it was the first song of the album to have been disclosed to the audience during the "Gimme Ed... 'Til I'm Dead" tour that took place prior to the release of the Dance of Death album, and Bruce warned the audience at every concert that he didn't care if the song was illegally recorded and posted as an mp3 file on the Internet, as long as people were going to buy the album on the day of its release. This marks the beginning of a new attitude towards the diffusion of music files over the Net, far remote from Metallica's who initiated court cases during the infamous "Napster Incident", and thus made themselves very unpopular. Iron Maiden have understood that the mp3s anyone can download from the Net should be an appetiser, either before an album release or to get to know an album before buying it. People who download music without ever buying the albums are committing a crime by law -- such a crime's name is simply "theft" -- and are abusing this great system that allows the sampling of an album before its purchase. Steve commented quite rightly a few years ago that, because of such an electronic diffusion of music, they would have to re-think the way they do things in the future, and that's exactly what they did. Not a single note of the album was to be found on the Internet prior to the release of Dance of Death, and "Wildest Dreams" was only known through the poor-quality live recordings that were made during the tour. This manoeuvre actually raised the fans' curiosity and constituted a pretty good marketing gimmick. Maiden had cleverly turned illegal diffusion of music files to their advantage, and fuelled more interest in their upcoming album than before. One last thing to note about "Wildest Dreams": the album doesn't start with the music right away, but with Nicko counting the beat. Most albums have Nicko talking at the end of some track or another, but this one is special in the way that "Mad McBrain" is the first one to be heard on an album before the music even starts. ''Dance of Death'' album marks the first participation in songwriting by Nicko McBrain, who co-wrote the song "New Frontier" and also is the first (and so far only) time that all members of the band get a songwriting credit. It is sometimes mistakenly said that Steve Harris performed all the keyboard parts on the album because no credit is given to usual collaborator Michael Kenney, but this is actually due to an oversight in the printing of the album booklet (no instrument credits are given to any of the full band members either). The band's usual message in every album (a variation on the line "Up the Irons!") is absent too. Dance of Death once again brought costumes to Maiden's stage show. During "Dance of Death," Bruce Dickinson would wear theatrical masks and a cape while moving around the stage; at the end he would dress as the Grim Reaper for the final chorus. During the song "Paschendale", Dickinson would sometimes wear a traditional British Infantryman suit as worn during World War I and act out his death onstage during the song. The title of the album refers to the late-medieval allegory on the universality of death: no matter one's station in life, the dance of death unites all.

Bruce Dickinson:Vocals Steve Harris:Bass Janick Gers:Guitar Dave Murray:Guitar Adrian Smith:Guitar Nicko McBrain:Drums The Reincarnation Of Benjamin Breeg (Murray, Harris) [Lyrics] Let me tell you about my life Let me tell you about my dreams Let me tell you about the things that happen Always real to me Let me tell you of my hope Of my need to reach the sky Let me take you on an awkward journey Let me tell you why Let me tell you why Why should these curses be laid upon me I won't be forgiven 'til I can break free What did I do to deserve all this guilt Pay for my sins with the sale of my soul Demons are trapped all inside of my head My hopes are gone, reach for heaven from hell My sins are many, my guilt is too heavy The pressure of knowing, of hiding what I know I'm able to see things, things I don't want to see The lives of a thousand souls weigh heavy down on me I know they're crying for help, reaching out The burden of them will take me down as well The sin of a thousand souls not died in vain Reincarnate, still in me live again Someone to save me Something to save me from myself To bring salvation To exorcise this hell [x2] Someone to save me Something to save me from my hell A destination Away from this nightmare .......................... These Colours Don't Run (Smith, Harris, Dickinson) [Lyrics] It's the same in every country when you say you're leaving Left behind the loved ones waiting silent in the hall Where you're going lies adventure others only dream of Red and green light this is real and so you go to war For the passion, for the glory, for the memories, for the money You're a soldier, for your country what's the difference, all the same Far away from the land of our birth We fly a flag in some foreign earth We sailed away like our fathers before These colours don't run from cold bloody war There is no one that will save you, going down in flames No surrender certain death you look it in the eye On the shores of tyranny you crashed a human wave Paying for my freedom with your lonely unmarked graves For the passion, for the glory, for the memories, for the money You're a soldier, for your country what's the difference, all the same Far away from the land of our birth We fly a flag in some foreign earth We sailed away like our fathers before These colours don't run from cold bloody war Far away from the land of our birth We fly a flag in some foreign earth We sailed away like our fathers before These colours don't run from cold bloody war Far away from the land of our birth We fly a flag in some foreign earth We sailed away like our fathers before These colours don't run from cold bloody war ........................................ Both songs are from the fourteenth studio album''A Matter of Life and Death'' by Iron Maiden, released in 2006. The Reincarnation Of Benjamin Breeg.Based on a completely fictitious character that quite interestingly became a powerful marketing tool for the band, this song may be the weakest on the album. Benjamin Breeg was born in London on September 3rd, 1939.Breeg travelled widely between 1960 and 1970, visiting many different countries. Living for two years in Haiti before travelling to Eastern Europe where he lived between 1966 and 1969. He was forced to flee from Romania in 1969 following local Police investigations. He returned to England in March 1971. Upon his return, he was offered a position with the International Institute of Paranormal Investigation which he accepted.He wrote four books between 1971 and 1977. None of these, as far as can be ascertained, remain in print. All, however, concern the sights and cultures Breeg experienced while travelling. The emphasis in all four volumes is on the Occult practices of the countries visited. Benjamin Breeg disappeared from his home on June 18th, 1978. All efforts to locate him proved unsuccessful. "These colours don't run" is incidentally what Bruce said to the audience while holding proudly the Union Jack during the infamous "eggfest incident" at the San Bernardino gig of 2005, where the Iron Maiden set was rudely disrupted by eggs being thrown at the musicians and various other unpleasant things happening due to the "Ozzy camp". Maybe this sentence struck the rest of the band and they decided to write a song around it. You never know... (Source:www.ironmaidencommentary.com)
Iron Maiden-3.Dance Of Death (MSG,New York 2010) Ancutzamica1 2010-08-18 | Iron Maiden - Madison Square Garden, New York City, NY, US, July 12, 2010, during the Final Frontier Tour 2010. Special thanks for this DVD goes to NYCBC (New York City Bitch Committee). Dance Of Death (Gers, Harris) Bruce Dickinson:Vocals Steve Harris:Bass Janick Gers:Guitar Dave Murray:Guitar Adrian Smith:Guitar Nicko McBrain:Drums [Lyrics] Let me tell you a story to chill the bones, about a thing that I saw One night wandering in the Everglades I'd one drink but no more I was rambling, enjoying the bright moonlight, gazing up at the stars Not aware of a presence so near to me, watching my every move Feeling scared and I fell to my knees as something rushed me from the trees Took me to an unholy place and that is where I fell from grace Then they summoned me over to join in with them to the dance of the dead Into the circle of fire I followed them, into the middle I was led As if time had stopped still I was numb with fear but still I wanted to go And the blaze of the fire did no hurt upon me as I walked onto the coals Then I felt I was in a trance and my spirit was lifted from me And if only someone had the chance to witness what happened to me And I danced and I pranced and I sang with them, all had Death in their eyes Lifeless figures they were undead all of them, they had ascended from Hell As I danced with the dead my free spirit was laughing and howling down at me Below my undead body just danced the circle of Death Until the time came to reunite us both, my spirit came back down to me I didn't know if I was alive or dead as the others all joined in with me By luck then a skirmish started and took the attention away from me When they took their gaze from me was the moment that I fled I ran like hell, faster than the wind, but behind I did not glance One thing that I did not dare was to look just straight ahead When you know that your time has come around you know you'll be prepared for it Say your last goodbyes to everyone, drink and say a prayer for it When you're lying in your sleep, when you're lying in your bed And you wake from your dreams to go dancing with the dead When you're lying in your sleep, when you're lying in your bed And you wake from your dreams to go dancing with the dead To this day I guess I'll never know just why they let me go But I'll never go dancing no more 'till I dance with the dead ................................... 'Dance Of Death' is a song from the thirteenth studio album ''Dance of Death'' by Iron Maiden,released first in Japan on September 2 and rest of the world on September 8, 2003. Originally inspired by Ingmar Bergman's 1957 film The Seventh Seal. "Dance Of Death" is not referring to the medieval dances of death, a series of ancient plays that have reached us through paintings and engravings, the most famous of which being Holbein's (1497--1543). Instead, the story takes us to the deep South of the United States, where Voodoo has taken place and is still said to occur regularly still now. The setting of the story is the Everglades, a marshy area and a national park at the southernmost tip of Florida, and somehow quite close to where Nicko McBrain lives, although there is no indication that the drummer inspired the location of the tale. The lyrics are reminiscent of those of "The Number Of The Beast", although the character of the story is here actively participating to the gruesome ceremony and there is no mention of Satan (the undead may have "ascended from Hell", but they seem to be on a night out without the "boss"). (Source:www.ironmaidencommentary.com) ''Dance of Death'' album marks the first participation in songwriting by Nicko McBrain, who co-wrote the song "New Frontier" and also is the first (and so far only) time that all members of the band get a songwriting credit. It is sometimes mistakenly said that Steve Harris performed all the keyboard parts on the album because no credit is given to usual collaborator Michael Kenney, but this is actually due to an oversight in the printing of the album booklet (no instrument credits are given to any of the full band members either). The band's usual message in every album (a variation on the line "Up the Irons!") is absent too. The title of the album refers to the late-medieval allegory on the universality of death: no matter one's station in life, the dance of death unites all. This philosophy is more commonly known as Danse Macabre.(Source:Wikipedia)

'Wrathchild' is a song from Iron Maiden's album ''Killers'',released in 1981. ''Wrathchild' was originally recorded on an album called Metal For Muthas along with 'Sanctuary'. That was before we had a record contract. The version on this record is pretty different. A lot of people asked us why we didn't put it on the first album. But we felt because it was on Metal For Muthas we didn't want to put it on the first album. By the time we did Killers we weren't happy with that version so so we wanted to record it properly. The guitar frills around the vocals were from Adrian. Originally they weren't there but when Adrian joined the band he decided to put them in. '' (Steve Harris)(Source:www.ironmaidencommentary.com) 'Killers' is the second album by English heavy metal band Iron Maiden, released on February 2, 1981 in the UK, and June, 1981 in the US. The album was the first of their albums to feature guitarist Adrian Smith, and the last to feature vocalist Paul Di'Anno, who was fired from the band mid-tour due to problems with alcohol and cocaine. This was also the first Iron Maiden album produced by veteran producer Martin Birch who went on to produce their next eight albums before retiring after Fear of the Dark in 1992. 'El Dorado' is a song from the fifteenth studio album''The Final Frontier'' by Iron Maiden, released on 16 August 2010. In the 9 June edition of Kerrang!, Bruce Dickinson explained the meaning of the song: "El Dorado has a cynical lyric about the economic crap that's been happening. It seemed a bit like a perfect storm; people were borrowing money like crazy. I thought, 'This is really going to screw people up' and sure enough, we're all in deep doo-doo! And that's what El Dorado is about, it's about selling somebody the myth that 'The streets are paved with gold' and them asking, 'Where do I sign up?'."(Source:Wikipedia)

Special thanks for this DVD goes to NYCBC (New York City Bitch Committee). Bruce Dickinson:Vocals Steve Harris:Bass Janick Gers:Guitar Dave Murray:Guitar Adrian Smith:Guitar Nicko McBrain:Drums The Wicker Man (Smith, Harris, Dickinson) [Lyrics] Hand of fate is moving and the finger points to you He knocks you to your feet and so what are you gonna do Your tongue has frozen now you've got something to say The piper at the gates of dawn is calling you his way You watch the world exploding every single night Dancing in the sun a newborn in the light Say goodbye to gravity and say goodbye to death Hello to eternity and live for every breath Your time will come, your time will come Your time will come, your time will come The ferryman wants his money you ain't going to give it back He can push his own boat as you set up off the track Nothing you can contemplate will ever be the same Every second is a new spark, sets the universe aflame You watch the world exploding every single night Dancing in the sun a newborn in the light Brothers and their fathers joining hands and make a chain The shadow of the Wicker Man is rising up again Your time will come, your time will come(x5) ....................................... Ghost Of The Navigator (Gers, Dickinson, Harris) [Lyrics] I have sailed to many lands, now I make my final journey On the bow I stand, west is where I go Through the night I plough, still my heart, calculate and pray As the compass swings, my will is strong, I will not be led astray Mysteries of time clouds that hide the sun But I know, but I know, but I know Chorus: I see the ghosts of navigators but they are lost As they sail into the sunset they'll count the cost As their skeletons accusing emerge from the sea The sirens of the rocks, they beckon me Take my heart and set it free, carried forward by the waves Nowhere left to run, navigator's son, Chasing rainbows all my days Where I go I do not know, I only know the place I've been Dreams they come and go, ever shall be so, Nothing's real until you feel I steer between the crashing rocks, the sirens call my name Lash my hands onto the helm, blood surging with the strain I will not fail now as sunrise comes the darkness left behind For eternity I follow on there is no other way Mysteries of time clouds that hide the sun But I know, I know Chorus: Where I go I do not know, I only know the place I've been Dreams they come and go, ever shall be so, Nothing's real until you feel Chorus: ..................................... Both songs are from the twelfth studio album''Brave New World'' by Iron Maiden, released on 30 May 2000. The Wicker Man.''This song is called 'The Wicker Man' because there's one line in the song which mentions The Wicker Man as in The Wicker Man of the cult 70s movie. And the song is, I think, the best single Maiden have had out in donkeys years. It's a really rocking single. Basically the feel of it is so up in term of the vibe you could almost be listening to an Offspring track during one or two bits of it as far as I was concerned. I was just thinking about when I stand up in front of x thousand people singing, just thinking about the buzz I get out of it; I'm thinking about the buzz I used to get when I was a kid and I used to go to rock festivals you really felt you belonged to something bigger than yourself on that one day. You also felt in some ways that you could change something; you could change the world a weeny bit that day 'cos you're all in that field. And that's what's the song's about, hence the chorus, 'Your time will come'. You suddenly feel you are a part of everything. '' (Bruce Dickinson) Ghost Of The Navigatoris ''I wrote the thing, the verse and the chorus, with Jan and he came up with this riff, and I just got this thing in my head of, like, Vikings! Like smashing through the seas, big boats and pioneers. Then I thought about navigation. So being a vaguely arty bloke on occasions it struck me as a metaphor for life. So suddenly I had a plot for the song. It was a great big epic sea-faring journey and the journey was life and the navigator was us as we were writing it. Steve said, "That's a really cool middle bit, and we can have this bit in it too" and I really liked it. I don't know if he was on the same wavelength as me but it sounds to me like a big storm 'cos I've already got the navigator lashed to the helm as not to be tempted by the sirens on the rocks trying to distract him. Trying not to be distracted by all the ghosts of his subconscious, the ghosts of his failed aspirations, and also his own fears, that it may all be pointless when he gets there and he does it because he must. That's the only answer he can give. '' (Bruce Dickinson) (Source:www.ironmaidencommentary.com)

Special thanks goes to the owner for this DVD. Bruce Dickinson:Vocals Steve Harris:Bass Janick Gers:Guitar Dave Murray:Guitar Adrian Smith:Guitar Nicko McBrain:Drums The Number Of The Beast (Harris) [Lyrics] '' Woe to you, oh Earth and Sea, for the Devil sends the beast with wrath, because he knows the time is short... -- Revelations 12:12 Let him who hath understanding reckon the number of the beast for it is a human number, its number is Six hundred and sixty six.'' Revelations 13:18 I left alone, my mind was blank I needed time to think, to get the memories from my mind What did I see? Can I believe That what I saw that night was real and not just fantasy Just what I saw in my old dreams Were they reflections of my warped mind staring back at me 'Cause in my dreams it's always there The evil face that twists my mind and brings me to despair Night was black, was no use holding back 'Cause I just had to see was someone watching me In the mist dark figures move and twist Was this all for real or just some kind of hell? Six six six -- the Number of the Beast Hell and fire was spawned to be released Torches blazed and sacred chants were praised As they start to cry hands held to the sky In the night the fires burning bright The ritual has begun Satan's work is done Six six six -- the Number of the Beast Sacrifice is going on tonight This can't go on I must inform the law Can this still be real or some crazy dream? But I feel drawn toward the evil chanting hordes Seem to mesmerize me, can't avoid their eyes Six six six -- the Number of the Beast Six six six -- the one for you and me I'm coming back, I will return And I'll possess your body and I'll make you burn I have the fire, I have the force I have the power to make my evil take its course .................................... Hallowed Be Thy Name (Harris) [Lyrics] I'm waiting in my cold cell when the bell begins to chime Reflecting on my past life and it doesn't have much time 'Cause at five o'clock they'll take me to the gallows pole The sands of time for me are running low... Running low... When the priest comes to read me the last rites I take a look through the bars at the last sights Of a world that has gone very wrong for me Can it be there's been some kind of error Hard to stop the surmounting terror Is it really the end not some crazy dream? Somebody please tell me that I'm dreaming It's not easy to stop from screaming But words escape me when I try to speak Tears they flow but why am I crying? After all I'm not afraid of dying Don't I believe that there never is an end? As the guards march me out to the courtyard Someone calls from a cell "God be with you!" If there's a god then why has he let me go? As I walk all my life drifts before me And though the end is near I'm not sorry Catch my soul it's willing to fly away Mark my words please believe my soul lives on Please don't worry now that I have gone I've gone beyond to see the truth When you know that your time is close at hand Maybe then you'll begin to understand Life down here is just a strange illusion Yeah! Hallowed be Thy name! Hallowed be Thy name! .............................. Both songs are from the Iron Maiden's album ''The Number Of The Beast''.The album was released in 1982. The Number Of The Beast .''Basically this song is about a dream. It's not about devil worship. '' (Steve Harris) This song was loosely inspired by the 1978 movie Omen II, and a Steve Harris nightmare. It begins ominously with quoted text from the Bible. Hallowed Be Thy Name ''That's one of my favourite songs and still one we play live. We're trying to create a mood with the build-up of the song. The classical guitar-like opening was Dave building the mood, with bells in the background. It's about someone with only a few hours left to live. In concert the end part of this one takes off. Dave takes the first solo and then Adrian.''(Steve Harris) The unfolding story of the song is seen through the eyes of a man who, facing imminent death, experiences first anguish, then terror, and finally hope that he will return -- hence the final line taken from the Lord's Prayer. The sentence referring to life being "just a strange illusion" should probably not be taken literally, and it seems to be indicating that the way most people consider their own lives is an illusion and not life itself. They have this illusion that the life they're living is the one that was meant for them, and this prevents them from looking any further. They often never fulfill their original dreams because they have been deceived by all those fake dreams that have been instilled into them by society.(Source:www.ironmaidencommentary.com)

Bruce Dickinson:Vocals Steve Harris:Bass Janick Gers:Guitar Dave Murray:Guitar Adrian Smith:Guitar Nicko McBrain:Drums No More Lies (Harris) [Lyrics] There's a darkening sky before me, there's no time to prepare Salvage a last horizon, but no regrets from me Maybe I'll be back some other day to live again just who can say In what shape or form that I might be, just another chance for me A hurried time, no disgrace, instead of racing to conclusions And wishing all my life away, no-one can stop me now Time is up, it couldn't last but there's more things I'd like to do I'm coming back to try again someday maybe I'll wait till then No more lies, no more lies [x4] They're all sitting at my table, talking tall and drinking wine Their time is up just like me, but they just don't know it yet So just a word of warning when you're in your deepest dreams There's nothing you can hide from, I've got my eye on you The clock is fast, the hour is near, eventful past is ever clear My life is set, the time is here, I think I'm coming home No more lies, no more lies [x4] A hurried time, no disgrace, instead of racing to conclusions Wishing all your life away, no-one can stop me now Time is up, it couldn't last but there's more things I have to do I'm coming back to try again don't tell me that this is the end No more lies, no more lies [x5] No more lies... ..................................... Brave New World (Murray, Harris, Dickinson) [Lyrics] Dying swans twisted wings, beauty not needed here Lost my love, lost my life, in this garden of fear I have seen many things, in a lifetime alone Mother love is no more, bring this savage back home Wilderness house of pain, makes no sense of it all Close this mind dull this brain, Messiah before his fall What you see is not real, those who know will not tell All is lost sold your souls to this brave new world A brave new world, in a brave new world A brave new world, in a brave new world In a brave new world, a brave new world In a brave new world, a brave new world Dragon kings dying queens, where is salvation now Lost my life lost my dreams, rip the bones from my flesh Silent screams laughing here, dying to tell you the truth You are planned and you are damned in this brave new world A brave new world, in a brave new world A brave new world, in a brave new world In a brave new world, a brave new world In a brave new world, a brave new world A brave new world, in a brave new world A brave new world, in a brave new world In a brave new world, a brave new world In a brave new world, a brave new world Dying swans twisted wings, bring this savage back home .................................. ''No More Lies'' is a song from the thirteenth studio album ''Dance of Death'' by Iron Maiden,released first in Japan on September 2 and rest of the world on September 8, 2003. The lyrics deal with a character who knows that his time has come, with the darkening sky representing the beginning of the end (Steve Harris has himself mentioned that the lyrics quite match the story of the Last Supper in the Bible). However, this particular character seems to have lived his life to the full and does not express any regrets to leave this world. There is a hint as to the possibility of reincarnation ("Maybe I'll be back some other day"), as is customary in many Maiden songs that deal with death. The title "No More Lies" itself could have different interpretations. It could be that, when the end comes, there's no more time to lie about how we see our life. The illusions we had about our past simply vanish and we're confronted to the truth, no matter how much we tried to hide from it before. On the other hand, it could also represent the hope that, if there is a next life, it won't be filled with lies as the previous one was. Wipe the slate clean and start all over again, with truth and honesty -- "I'm coming back to try again". Even if there is such a thing as reincarnation or another life, it seems doubtful that truth will prevail then, as it never did before anyway.(Source:www.ironmaidencommentary.com) ''Brave New World''is a song from the twelfth studio album''Brave New World'' by Iron Maiden, released on 30 May 2000. Based on the 1932 novel by Aldous Huxley [1894--1963], this is once again a classic-to-be of Iron Maiden. The story that inspired the lyrics of the song takes place in what was at the time of Huxley's writing a futuristic world state with the motto: "Community, Identity, Stability".

Iron Maiden-7.Iron Maiden(Chicago 2010) Ancutzamica1 2010-08-15 | Iron Maiden - First Midwest Bank Amphitheatre, Tinley Park, Chicago, Illinois, US, July 18, 2010, during the Final Frontier World Tour 2010. Special thanks goes to the owner for this DVD. Iron Maiden (Harris) Bruce Dickinson:Vocals Steve Harris:Bass Janick Gers:Guitar Dave Murray:Guitar Adrian Smith:Guitar Nicko McBrain:Drums [Lyrics] Won't you come into my room I wanna show you all my wares I just want to see your blood I just want to stand and stare See the blood begin to flow as it falls upon the floor Iron Maiden can't be fought Iron Maiden can't be sought Oh well, wherever, wherever you are Iron Maiden's gonna get you no matter how far See the blood flow, watching it shed up above my head Iron Maiden wants you for dead Won't you come into my room I wanna show you all my wares I just want to see your blood I just want to stand and stare See the blood begin to flow as it falls upon the floor Iron Maiden can't be fought Iron Maiden can't be sought Oh well, wherever, wherever you are Iron Maiden's gonna get you no matter how far See the blood flow, watching it shed up above my head Iron Maiden wants you for dead ........................................ 'Iron Maiden' is a song from Iron Maiden's album ''Iron Maiden'',released in 1980. ''As long as I can remember we've closed our set with this song. It's quite simple. The bass line is fairly straightforward as is the drumming. But the guitar is over the top with harmony, and the bass is descending behind it. I think this makes it pretty special.'' (Steve Harris) ''Another classic Maiden song, this is a mandatory song at all Maiden concerts. It was first recorded on the Soundhouse Tapes and, although this re-recorded version is much superior to the Soundhouse version, it still doesn't make it a very good song by Maiden's standards. There isn't any guitar solo, and the lyrics seem quite strange. It is hard to understand how such a medium-quality song has become the band's trademark song over the years. Note that an "Iron Maiden" was a medieval torture instrument looking like a sarcophagus, and whose "door" was embedded with sharp spikes. It was usually used vertically and the victim was put inside before the door was allowed to slowly close under the influence of its own weight. What a horrible way to die! More recently, "Iron Maiden" was the nickname of Margaret "Maggie" Thatcher who was head of the Conservative party in the U.K., then elected Prime Minister of Britain around the time the band started. She appears on the cover sleeves of the Sanctuary and Women In Uniform singles.'' ''Essentially the song is about Iron Maiden and their gigs. "Won't you come into my room" is inviting fans in to the gigs, the room being the concert hall or more likely pub venue given the era when this track was written. "I wanna show you all my wares" is Maiden saying they want to play their music and entertain and show what they can do. "I just want to see your blood, I just want to stand and stare" refers to the time when the then lead singer would draw a sword through his mouth and bite on a fake blood capsule, or it may refer to the extrapolation of this when red paint or dry ice was poured through the first Eddie head up above the drummer on stage. "See the blood begin to flow, as it falls upon the floor" again continuing the stage dramatics of the sword in the mouth or Eddie head sets. "Iron Maiden can't be fought, Iron Maiden can't be sought" is similar to the chorus in saying don't try to stop Maiden or avoid listening because Maiden will be successful come what may and you will eventually love Maiden if you give them a fair crack of the whip. That sentiment continues into the chorus with "Oh well, wherever, wherever you are, Iron Maiden's gonna get you no matter how far" again saying Iron Maiden are going to be successful everywhere, showing the determination of Steve Harris to succeed. "See the blood flow watching it shed up above my head" Again referring to the Edde stage set. "Iron Maiden wants you for dead" Means Maiden wants everyone to be fans and will stop at nothing to get it.Fairly crude, in the rough sense, lyrically, but the meaning gets across.''

Bruce Dickinson:Vocals Steve Harris:Bass Janick Gers:Guitar Dave Murray:Guitar Adrian Smith:Guitar Nicko McBrain:Drums Blood Brothers (Harris) [Lyrics] And if you're taking a walk through the garden of life What do you think you'd expect you would see? Just like a mirror reflecting the moves of your life And in the river reflections of me Just for a second a glimpse of my father I see And in a movement he beckons to me And in a moment the memories are all that remain And all the wounds are reopening again We're blood brothers, we're blood brothers We're blood brothers, we're blood brothers And as you look all around at the world in dismay What do you see, do you think we have learned Not if you're taking a look at the war-torn affray Out in the streets where the babies are burned We're blood brothers, we're blood brothers We're blood brothers, we're blood brothers There are times when I feel I'm afraid for the world There are times I'm ashamed of us all When you're floating on all the emotion you feel And reflecting the good and the bad Will we ever know what the answer to life really is? Can you really tell me what life is? Maybe all the things that you know that are precious to you Could be swept away by fate's own hand We're blood brothers, we're blood brothers We're blood brothers, we're blood brothers When you think that we've used all our chances And the chance to make everything right Keep on making the same old mistakes Makes untipping the balance so easy When we're living our lives on the edge Say a prayer on the book of the dead We're blood brothers, we're blood brothers We're blood brothers, we're blood brothers And if you're taking a walk through the garden of life... .................................... Wildest Dreams (Smith, Harris) [Lyrics] I'm gonna organise some changes in my life I'm going to exorcise the demons of my past I'm gonna take the car and hit the open road I'm feeling ready to just open up and go And I just feel that I can be anything That I might ever wish to be And fantasize just what I want to be Make my wildest dreams come true I'm on my way, out on my own again I'm on my way, out on the road again When I remember back to how that things just used to be And I was stuck inside a shroud of misery I felt I disappeared so deep inside myself I couldn´t find a way to break away the hell When I'm feeling down and low I vow I'll never be the same again I just remember what I am And visualise just what I'm gonna be I'm on my way, out on my own again I'm on my way, I'm gonna break away I'm gonna break away I'm out on my own I'm out on my own Gonna break away Break it away I'm on my way, out on my own again [x5] I'm on my way, I'm gonna break away ..................................... ''Blood Brothers'' is a song from the twelfth studio album ''Brave New World'' by Iron Maiden, released on 30 May 2000. 'Blood Brothers' is a little masterpiece that's Steve's song 100 per cent. In singing it I can tell you what I think it's about. It's about Steve's relationship with his father who died; it's a very personal song so this song is about Steve and his father being blood brothers, like, forever the lines go. 'Just for a second a glimpse of my father I see, and in a movement he beckons to me, and in a moment the memories are all that remain, and all the wounds are reopening again, we're blood brothers'. So it's kind of bitter sweet and very loving and at the same time very melancholic. It's a lot of very, very mixed emotions and musically there's a few Celtic nods. ' (Bruce Dickinson)(Source:www.ironmaidencommentary.com) ''Wildest Dreams'' is a song from thirteenth studio album ''Dance of Death'' by Iron Maiden,released first in Japan on September 2 and rest of the world on September 8, 2003. The main particularity of this song is that it was the first song of the album to have been disclosed to the audience during the "Gimme Ed... 'Til I'm Dead" tour that took place prior to the release of the Dance of Death album, and Bruce warned the audience at every concert that he didn't care if the song was illegally recorded and posted as an mp3 file on the Internet, as long as people were going to buy the album on the day of its release. This marks the beginning of a new attitude towards the diffusion of music files over the Net, far remote from Metallica's who initiated court cases during the infamous "Napster Incident", and thus made themselves very unpopular.

Both songs are from the fourteenth studio album''A Matter of Life and Death'' by Iron Maiden, released in 2006. The Reincarnation Of Benjamin Breeg.Based on a completely fictitious character that quite interestingly became a powerful marketing tool for the band, this song may be the weakest on the album. Benjamin Breeg was born in London on September 3rd, 1939.Breeg travelled widely between 1960 and 1970, visiting many different countries. Living for two years in Haiti before travelling to Eastern Europe where he lived between 1966 and 1969. He was forced to flee from Romania in 1969 following local Police investigations. He returned to England in March 1971. Upon his return, he was offered a position with the International Institute of Paranormal Investigation which he accepted.He wrote four books between 1971 and 1977. None of these, as far as can be ascertained, remain in print. All, however, concern the sights and cultures Breeg experienced while travelling. The emphasis in all four volumes is on the Occult practices of the countries visited. Benjamin Breeg disappeared from his home on June 18th, 1978. All efforts to locate him proved unsuccessful. "These colours don't run" is incidentally what Bruce said to the audience while holding proudly the Union Jack during the infamous "eggfest incident" at the San Bernardino gig of 2005, where the Iron Maiden set was rudely disrupted by eggs being thrown at the musicians and various other unpleasant things happening due to the "Ozzy camp". Maybe this sentence struck the rest of the band and they decided to write a song around it. You never know... (Source:www.ironmaidencommentary.com)

Dance Of Death (Gers, Harris) Bruce Dickinson:Vocals Steve Harris:Bass Janick Gers:Guitar Dave Murray:Guitar Adrian Smith:Guitar Nicko McBrain:Drums [Lyrics] Let me tell you a story to chill the bones, about a thing that I saw One night wandering in the Everglades I'd one drink but no more I was rambling, enjoying the bright moonlight, gazing up at the stars Not aware of a presence so near to me, watching my every move Feeling scared and I fell to my knees as something rushed me from the trees Took me to an unholy place and that is where I fell from grace Then they summoned me over to join in with them to the dance of the dead Into the circle of fire I followed them, into the middle I was led As if time had stopped still I was numb with fear but still I wanted to go And the blaze of the fire did no hurt upon me as I walked onto the coals Then I felt I was in a trance and my spirit was lifted from me And if only someone had the chance to witness what happened to me And I danced and I pranced and I sang with them, all had Death in their eyes Lifeless figures they were undead all of them, they had ascended from Hell As I danced with the dead my free spirit was laughing and howling down at me Below my undead body just danced the circle of Death Until the time came to reunite us both, my spirit came back down to me I didn't know if I was alive or dead as the others all joined in with me By luck then a skirmish started and took the attention away from me When they took their gaze from me was the moment that I fled I ran like hell, faster than the wind, but behind I did not glance One thing that I did not dare was to look just straight ahead When you know that your time has come around you know you'll be prepared for it Say your last goodbyes to everyone, drink and say a prayer for it When you're lying in your sleep, when you're lying in your bed And you wake from your dreams to go dancing with the dead When you're lying in your sleep, when you're lying in your bed And you wake from your dreams to go dancing with the dead To this day I guess I'll never know just why they let me go But I'll never go dancing no more 'till I dance with the dead ................................... 'Dance Of Death' is a song from the thirteenth studio album ''Dance of Death'' by Iron Maiden,released first in Japan on September 2 and rest of the world on September 8, 2003. Originally inspired by Ingmar Bergman's 1957 film The Seventh Seal. "Dance Of Death" is not referring to the medieval dances of death, a series of ancient plays that have reached us through paintings and engravings, the most famous of which being Holbein's (1497--1543). Instead, the story takes us to the deep South of the United States, where Voodoo has taken place and is still said to occur regularly still now. The setting of the story is the Everglades, a marshy area and a national park at the southernmost tip of Florida, and somehow quite close to where Nicko McBrain lives, although there is no indication that the drummer inspired the location of the tale. The lyrics are reminiscent of those of "The Number Of The Beast", although the character of the story is here actively participating to the gruesome ceremony and there is no mention of Satan (the undead may have "ascended from Hell", but they seem to be on a night out without the "boss"). (Source:www.ironmaidencommentary.com) ''Dance of Death'' album marks the first participation in songwriting by Nicko McBrain, who co-wrote the song "New Frontier" and also is the first (and so far only) time that all members of the band get a songwriting credit. It is sometimes mistakenly said that Steve Harris performed all the keyboard parts on the album because no credit is given to usual collaborator Michael Kenney, but this is actually due to an oversight in the printing of the album booklet (no instrument credits are given to any of the full band members either). The band's usual message in every album (a variation on the line "Up the Irons!") is absent too. The title of the album refers to the late-medieval allegory on the universality of death: no matter one's station in life, the dance of death unites all. This philosophy is more commonly known as Danse Macabre.(Source:Wikipedia)

'Wrathchild' is a song from Iron Maiden's album ''Killers'',released in 1981. ''Wrathchild' was originally recorded on an album called Metal For Muthas along with 'Sanctuary'. That was before we had a record contract. The version on this record is pretty different. A lot of people asked us why we didn't put it on the first album. But we felt because it was on Metal For Muthas we didn't want to put it on the first album. By the time we did Killers we weren't happy with that version so so we wanted to record it properly. The guitar frills around the vocals were from Adrian. Originally they weren't there but when Adrian joined the band he decided to put them in. '' (Steve Harris)(Source:www.ironmaidencommentary.com) 'Killers' is the second album by English heavy metal band Iron Maiden, released on February 2, 1981 in the UK, and June, 1981 in the US. The album was the first of their albums to feature guitarist Adrian Smith, and the last to feature vocalist Paul Di'Anno, who was fired from the band mid-tour due to problems with alcohol and cocaine. This was also the first Iron Maiden album produced by veteran producer Martin Birch who went on to produce their next eight albums before retiring after Fear of the Dark in 1992. 'El Dorado' is a song from the fifteenth studio album''The Final Frontier'' by Iron Maiden, released on 16 August 2010. In the 9 June edition of Kerrang!, Bruce Dickinson explained the meaning of the song: "El Dorado has a cynical lyric about the economic crap that's been happening. It seemed a bit like a perfect storm; people were borrowing money like crazy. I thought, 'This is really going to screw people up' and sure enough, we're all in deep doo-doo! And that's what El Dorado is about, it's about selling somebody the myth that 'The streets are paved with gold' and them asking, 'Where do I sign up?'." (Source:Wikipedia)

Bruce Dickinson:Vocals Steve Harris:Bass Janick Gers:Guitar Dave Murray:Guitar Adrian Smith:Guitar Nicko McBrain:Drums The Wicker Man (Smith, Harris, Dickinson) [Lyrics] Hand of fate is moving and the finger points to you He knocks you to your feet and so what are you gonna do Your tongue has frozen now you've got something to say The piper at the gates of dawn is calling you his way You watch the world exploding every single night Dancing in the sun a newborn in the light Say goodbye to gravity and say goodbye to death Hello to eternity and live for every breath Your time will come, your time will come Your time will come, your time will come The ferryman wants his money you ain't going to give it back He can push his own boat as you set up off the track Nothing you can contemplate will ever be the same Every second is a new spark, sets the universe aflame You watch the world exploding every single night Dancing in the sun a newborn in the light Brothers and their fathers joining hands and make a chain The shadow of the Wicker Man is rising up again Your time will come, your time will come(x5) ....................................... Ghost Of The Navigator (Gers, Dickinson, Harris) [Lyrics] I have sailed to many lands, now I make my final journey On the bow I stand, west is where I go Through the night I plough, still my heart, calculate and pray As the compass swings, my will is strong, I will not be led astray Mysteries of time clouds that hide the sun But I know, but I know, but I know Chorus: I see the ghosts of navigators but they are lost As they sail into the sunset they'll count the cost As their skeletons accusing emerge from the sea The sirens of the rocks, they beckon me Take my heart and set it free, carried forward by the waves Nowhere left to run, navigator's son, Chasing rainbows all my days Where I go I do not know, I only know the place I've been Dreams they come and go, ever shall be so, Nothing's real until you feel I steer between the crashing rocks, the sirens call my name Lash my hands onto the helm, blood surging with the strain I will not fail now as sunrise comes the darkness left behind For eternity I follow on there is no other way Mysteries of time clouds that hide the sun But I know, I know Chorus: Where I go I do not know, I only know the place I've been Dreams they come and go, ever shall be so, Nothing's real until you feel Chorus: ..................................... Both songs are from the twelfth studio album''Brave New World'' by Iron Maiden, released on 30 May 2000. The Wicker Man.''This song is called 'The Wicker Man' because there's one line in the song which mentions The Wicker Man as in The Wicker Man of the cult 70s movie. And the song is, I think, the best single Maiden have had out in donkeys years. It's a really rocking single. Basically the feel of it is so up in term of the vibe you could almost be listening to an Offspring track during one or two bits of it as far as I was concerned. I was just thinking about when I stand up in front of x thousand people singing, just thinking about the buzz I get out of it; I'm thinking about the buzz I used to get when I was a kid and I used to go to rock festivals you really felt you belonged to something bigger than yourself on that one day. You also felt in some ways that you could change something; you could change the world a weeny bit that day 'cos you're all in that field. And that's what's the song's about, hence the chorus, 'Your time will come'. You suddenly feel you are a part of everything. '' (Bruce Dickinson) Ghost Of The Navigatoris ''I wrote the thing, the verse and the chorus, with Jan and he came up with this riff, and I just got this thing in my head of, like, Vikings! Like smashing through the seas, big boats and pioneers. Then I thought about navigation. So being a vaguely arty bloke on occasions it struck me as a metaphor for life. So suddenly I had a plot for the song. It was a great big epic sea-faring journey and the journey was life and the navigator was us as we were writing it. Steve said, "That's a really cool middle bit, and we can have this bit in it too" and I really liked it. I don't know if he was on the same wavelength as me but it sounds to me like a big storm 'cos I've already got the navigator lashed to the helm as not to be tempted by the sirens on the rocks trying to distract him. Trying not to be distracted by all the ghosts of his subconscious, the ghosts of his failed aspirations, and also his own fears, that it may all be pointless when he gets there and he does it because he must. That's the only answer he can give. '' (Bruce Dickinson) (Source:www.ironmaidencommentary.com)
Iron Maiden - 16.Running Free (Holmdel,New Jersey,US 2010) Ancutzamica1 2010-07-21 | Iron Maiden - PNC Bank Arts Center, Holmdel, New Jersey, US, July 11, 2010, during the Final Frontier World Tour 2010.Special thanks to rcsguy664 and to bcironmaiden for the audio source. Running Free (Harris, Di'Anno) [Lyrics] Just sixteen a pickup truck, out of money out of luck I've got nowhere to call my own, hit the gas and here I go I'm running free yeah! I'm running free I'm running free yeah! Oh I'm running free Spent the night in an L.A. jail and listened to the sirens wail They ain't got a thing on me, I'm running wild I'm running free I'm running free yeah! I'm running free I'm running free yeah! Oh I'm running free Pulled her at the Bottle Top, whisky dancing disco hop Now all the boys are after me and that's the way it's gonna be I'm running free yeah! I'm running free I'm running free yeah! Oh I'm running free ................................. Bruce Dickinson:Vocals Steve Harris:Bass Janick Gers:Guitar Dave Murray:Guitar Adrian Smith:Guitar Nicko McBrain:Drums ..................................... 'Running Free' is a song from Iron Maiden's album ''Iron Maiden'',released in 1980. ''Running Free' came together when I put a riff to the main drum beat by Doug Sampson. The part in the middle I worked up from a bunch of bits I wrote. We thought we'd try and do something a bit different. Most songs have a guitar solo in the middle. We always tried to do things a little differently. We thought instead of a guitar solo we'd have a guitar break which would consist of guitar runs and harmonies.'' (Steve Harris) "Running Free" was Maiden's first single, and is still a Maiden classic and one of their most memorable songs. It is a very simple song by Maiden standards, with a repetitive tune and chorus, but it still manages to convey some energy. "Running Free" is a much better song when played live, and indeed it has been a concert staple over the years. Despite all that, this song is far from being one of the best on this album -- it's just a bit too simple and repetitive to make it a really good Maiden composition. Early versions of this song had a guitar solo by Dave Murray, but for some reason the solo was dropped before the album was released. That's a shame because the solo added an interesting spark of energy that now seems to be lacking. The story is basically that of a runaway American teenager who hitch-hikes his way through the country in pursuit of fun (of course, this could happen in any other country). It is not clear why he spends a night in a Los Angeles jail (maybe just for the rime!), although one may suspect that the vagrancy laws of California are somewhat tougher than those in Britain. Nevertheless, he successfully manages to pick up a girl at some bar called The Bottle Top, which has probably angered the "natives", as "all the boys are after [him]". He doesn't seem to mind, but quite on the opposite seems to enjoy it. There are some wild youths who like to live dangerously! Paul Di'Anno was asked what "Running Free" was about by Shan Siva, of battlehelm.com, and here's his answer: "'Running Free' is about me as a kid. My mum ruled my life, but she said to me, 'You live in a shit area, but do what you can do and see what happens... As long as you don't hurt anybody, just get on with it'. But I did get into trouble with the law a few times and that's the only thing I wish I could change... The grief I gave my poor mama. I never really knew my real dad, but my step dad was really cool. Sometimes, he'd surprise us and walk in when we were doing some speed, but he'd just brush it off as long as it wasn't heroin or the hard shit. I don't have the same attitude with my kids, though -- if I catch 'em with anything I'll kick the crap outta them." Yet another interesting story by master story-teller Paul Di'Anno. Is there any truth in this? Probably somewhere. 'Iron Maiden', released on April 14, 1980, is the debut album by the British heavy metal band Iron Maiden.Every song on this album except 'Strange World' has since been recorded by the Dickinson-fronted line-up of the band, either on live albums, on studio B-Sides, or both.
Iron Maiden - 15.Hallowed Be Thy Name (Holmdel,New Jersey,US 2010) Ancutzamica1 2010-07-21 | Iron Maiden - PNC Bank Arts Center, Holmdel, New Jersey, US, July 11, 2010, during the Final Frontier World Tour 2010.Special thanks to rcsguy664 and to bcironmaiden for the audio source. Hallowed Be Thy Name (Harris) [Lyrics] I'm waiting in my cold cell when the bell begins to chime Reflecting on my past life and it doesn't have much time 'Cause at five o'clock they'll take me to the gallows pole The sands of time for me are running low... Running low... When the priest comes to read me the last rites I take a look through the bars at the last sights Of a world that has gone very wrong for me Can it be there's been some kind of error Hard to stop the surmounting terror Is it really the end not some crazy dream? Somebody please tell me that I'm dreaming It's not easy to stop from screaming But words escape me when I try to speak Tears they flow but why am I crying? After all I'm not afraid of dying Don't I believe that there never is an end? As the guards march me out to the courtyard Someone calls from a cell "God be with you!" If there's a god then why has he let me go? As I walk all my life drifts before me And though the end is near I'm not sorry Catch my soul it's willing to fly away Mark my words please believe my soul lives on Please don't worry now that I have gone I've gone beyond to see the truth When you know that your time is close at hand Maybe then you'll begin to understand Life down here is just a strange illusion Yeah! Hallowed be Thy name! Hallowed be Thy name! .................................. Bruce Dickinson:Vocals Steve Harris:Bass Janick Gers:Guitar Dave Murray:Guitar Adrian Smith:Guitar Nicko McBrain:Drums ................................. ''Hallowed Be Thy Name'' is a song from Iron Maiden's album ''The Number Of The Beast'', released in 1982. ''That's one of my favourite songs and still one we play live. We're trying to create a mood with the build-up of the song. The classical guitar-like opening was Dave building the mood, with bells in the background. It's about someone with only a few hours left to live. In concert the end part of this one takes off. Dave takes the first solo and then Adrian.''(Steve Harris) This is what many fans consider the best Iron Maiden song ever, and perhaps the best song of all time. 'Hallowed Be Thy Name' describes the thoughts and emotions of a condemned man on his way to the gallows. There is a striking similarity with the lyrics of 'Rainbow's Gold', a song by a band called Beckett that was later covered by Maiden on the B-side of the 2 Minutes To Midnight single. And though the end is near I'm not sorry Catch my soul, it's willing to fly away -- Hallowed Be Thy Name And your bird she's singing Catch your soul, he's willing to fly away -- Rainbow's Gold The unfolding story of the song is seen through the eyes of a man who, facing imminent death, experiences first anguish, then terror, and finally hope that he will return -- hence the final line taken from the Lord's Prayer. The sentence referring to life being "just a strange illusion" should probably not be taken literally, and it seems to be indicating that the way most people consider their own lives is an illusion and not life itself. They have this illusion that the life they're living is the one that was meant for them, and this prevents them from looking any further. They often never fulfill their original dreams because they have been deceived by all those fake dreams that have been instilled into them by society. There is actually no way to describe this song other than absolutely inspired and brilliant. The long instrumental section that dominates the last half of the song is rivalled only by 'Phantom Of The Opera', and the lyrical depth and emotion stand alone, unapproached by anything else that can be heard. This is probably the best song ever written! 'The Number of the Beast' is the third studio album by British heavy metal band Iron Maiden. The album was released on March 29, 1982 through EMI and on its sister label Capitol on the Harvest imprint in the US originally before it was re-released by Sanctuary/Columbia in the US. This was the debut of vocalist Bruce Dickinson in Iron Maiden. It has been cited as one of the most influential heavy metal albums of all time, and is widely acknowledged as one of the best and most iconic albums of the genre. 'The Number of the Beast' also cemented Iron Maiden as one of "the biggest metal bands on the planet".
