Iron Maiden (UK-1) : Another Piece of Mind part II
Lyrics
SIDE A
1. STILL LIFE
Take a look in a pool and what do you see
In the dark depths there, faces beckoning me
Can't you see them it's plain for all to see
They were there, oh I know you don't believe me
Oh... I've never felt so strange
But... I'm not going insane
I've no doubt that you think I'm off my head
You don't say but it's in your eyes instead
Hours I spend out just gazing into that pool
Something draws me there I don't know what to do
Oh... They drain my strength away
Oh... They're asking me to stay
Nightmares, spirits calling me
Nightmares, they won't leave me be
All my life's blood is slowly draining away
And I feel that I'm weaker every day
Somehow I know I haven't long to go
Joining them at the bottom of the pool
Now... I feel they are so near
I... begin to see them clear
Nightmares, coming all the time
Nightmares, will give me peace of mind
Now it's clear and I know what I have to do
I must take you down there to look at them too
Hand in hand then we'll jump right into the pool
Can't you see not just me they want you too
Oh... we'll drown together
It... will be forever
Nightmares, forever calling me
Nightmares, now we rest in peace
2. TO TAME A LAND
He is the King of all the land
In the Kingdom of the sands
Of a time tomorrow
He rules the sandworms and the freemen
In a land amongst the stars
Of an age tomorrow
He is destined to be a King
He rules over everything
On the land called planet Dune
Body water is your life
And without it you would die
In the desert the planet Dune
Without a still suit you would fry
On the sands so hot and dry
In a world called Arrakis
It is a land that's rich in spice
The sandriders and the mice
That they call the Muad Dib
He is the Kwisatz Haderach
He is born of Caladan
And will take the Gom Jabbar
He has the power to foresee
Or to look into the past
He is the ruler of the stars
The time will come for him to lay claim his crown
And then the foe yes they'll be cut down
You'll see he'll be the best that there's been
Messiah supreme, true leader of men
And when the time for judgements at hand
Don't fret he's strong, he'll make a stand
Against evil the fire that spreads through the land
He has the power to make it all end

5. PHANTOM OF THE OPERA
I've been looking so long for you now, you won't get away from my grasp
You've been living so long in hiding, in hiding behind that false mask
You know and I know that you ain't got that long to last
Your looks and your feelings are just the remains of your past
Standing in the wings there, you wait for the curtain to fall
Knowing the terror and holding you have on us all
I know that you're gonna scratch me and maim me and maul
You know I'm helpless from your mesmerising cat call
Keep your distance, walk away
Don't take this bait, don't you stray, don't fade away
Watch your step, he's out to get you, come what may
Don't you stray from the narrow way
I'm running and hiding, in my dreams you are always there
You're the phantom of the opera, you're the devil, you're just out to scare
You damaged my mind and my soul just floats through the air
You haunt me, you taunt me, you torture me back at your lair
...Torture me back at your fair !
SIDE B
1. HALLOWED BE THY NAME
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 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 sort of error
Hard to stop the surmounting terror
Is it really the end not some crazy dream
Somebody please tell me that I'm dreaming
It's not easy to stop from screaming
But words escape me when I try to speak
Tears 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
Somebody cries 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 ends is near I'm not sorry
Catch my soul 'cause it's willing to fly away
Mark my words please believe my soul lives on
Please don't worry now that I have gone
I've gone beyond to see the truth
When you know that your time is close at hand
Maybe then you'll begin to understand
Life down there is just a strange illusion
Yeah... Hallowed be thy name
Yeah... Hallowed be thy name
2. IRON MAIDEN
Won't you come into my room
I want to 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 want to 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 want to 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
3. RUN TO THE HILLS
White man came across the sea
He brought us pain and misery
He killed our tribes, he killed our creed
He took our game for his own need
We fought him hard, we fought him well
Out on the plains, we gave him Hell
But many came, too much for Cree
Oh, will we ever be set free
Riding through dust clouds and barren wastes
Galloping hard on the plains
Chasing the redskins back to their holes
Fighting them at their own game
Murder for freedom, the stab in the back
Women and children and cowards attack
Run to the hills, run for your lives
Run to the hills, run for your lives
Soldier blue in the barren wastes
Hunting and killing their game
Raping the women and wasting the men
The only good Indians are tame
Selling them whiskey and taking their gold
Enslaving the young and destroying the old
Run to the hills, run for your lives
Run to the hills, run for your lives
Run to the hills, run for your lives
Run to the hills, run for your lives
4. SANCTUARY
Out of the winter came a warhorse of steel
I've never killed a woman before but I know how it feels
I know you'd have gone insane if you saw what I saw
So now I've got to look for sanctuary from the law
I met up with a stranger last night, to keep me alive
He spends all his time on gambling and guns to survive
I know you'd have gone insane if you saw what I saw
So now I've got to look for sanctuary from the law
So give me sanctuary from the law
And I'll be alright
Just give me sanctuary from the law
And love me tonight... tonight
I know you'd have gone insane if you saw what I saw
So now I've got to look for sanctuary from the law
I can laugh at the wind, I can howl at the rain
Down in the canyon or out on the plains
I know you'd have gone insane if you saw what I saw
So now I've got to look for sanctuary from the law
So give me sanctuary from the law
And I'll be alright
Just give me sanctuary from the law
And love me tonight... tonight
Love me tonight...
