Iron Maiden - Transylvania


Iron Maiden - Aces High


LYRICS:
There goes the siren that warns of the air raid / Then comes the sound of the guns sending flak /
Out for the scramble we've got to get airborne / Got to get up for the coming attack.

Jump in the cockpit and start up the engines /
Remove all the wheelblocks there's no time to waste /
Gathering speed as we head down the runway / Gotta get airborne before it's too late.

Running, scrambling, flying /
Rolling, turning, diving, going in again /
Run, live to fly, fly to live, do or die / Run, live to fly, fly to live. / Aces high.

Move in to fire at the mainstream of bombers /
Let off a sharp burst and then turn away /
Roll over, spin round and come in behind them / Move to their blindsides and firing again.

Bandits at 8 O'clock move in behind us /
Ten ME-109's out of the sun /
Ascending and turning our spitfires to face them / Heading straight for them I press down my guns

Rolling, turning, diving /
Rolling, turning, diving, going in again /
Run, live to fly, fly to live, do or die / Run, live to fly, fly to live, / Aces high

Iron Maiden - Fear Of The Dark


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 constant fear thas 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.

Have you ever been alone at night
Throuh your 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

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 - The Trooper


LYRICS:
You'll take my life but I'll take yours too
You'll fire your musket but I'll run you through
So when you're waiting for the next attack
You'd better stand there's no turning back

The bugle sounds as the charge begins
But on this battlefield no one wins
The smell of acrid smoke and horses breath
As you plunge into a certain death

The horse he sweats with fear we break to run
The mighty roar of the Russian guns
The screams of pain as my comrades fall

We hurdle bodies that lay on the ground
And as the Russians fire another round
We get so near yet so far away
We won't live to fight another day

We get so close near enough to fight
When a Russian gets me in his sights
He pulls the trigger and I feel the blow
A burst of rounds takes my horse below

And as I lay there gazing at the sky
My body's numb and my throat is dry
And as I lay forgotten and alone
Without a tear I draw my parting groan

Iron Maiden - The Number Of The Beast


LYRICS:

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

Cos in my dreams it's always there the evil face that twists my mind //
And brings me to despair

The night was black was no use holding back //
Cos I just had to see was someone watching me //
In the mist dark figures move and twist // Was all this for real or 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 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 towards the evil chanting hordes // They 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 it's course

Iron Maiden - Hallowed Be Thy Name



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 5 o'clock they take me to the Gallows Pole, // The sands of time for me are running low...

Running low--ooohhh... // 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 that there's some sort of error? // Hard to stop the surmounting terror. // Is this 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 does he let me go?

As I walk my life drifts before me. // Though the end is near I'm not sorry. // Catch my soul, it's willing to fly away.

Mark my words believe my soul lives on. // 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, Yeah, Yeah...Hallowed be Thy name // Yeah, Yeah, Yeah...Hallowed be Thy name // Yeah..................................
