Quotes [edit]
Hell and fire was born to be released
Fly, touch the Sun
The Number of the Beast (1982 Album) [edit]
Run to the Hills [edit]
- 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.
- Run to the hills, run for your lives.
Hallowed Be Thy Name [edit]
- The sands of time for me are running low.
The Number of the Beast [edit]
- 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 all this for real, or just some kind of hell.
666 the number of the beast.
Hell and fire was born to be released.
Piece of Mind (1983 Album) [edit]
Revelations [edit]
- Just a babe in a black abyss,
No reason for a place like this.
The walls are cold and souls cry out in pain.
An easy way for the blind to go,
A clever path for the fools who know
The Secret of the Hangman the smile on his lips.
The light of the Blind you'll see,
The venom that tears my spine,
The Eyes of the Nile are opening you'll see.
- She came to me with a serpents kiss,
As the Eye of the Sun rose on her lips.
Moonlight catches silver tears I cry.
- Bind us all together,
Ablaze with Hope and Free.
No storm or heavy weather,
Will rock the boat you'll see.
The Trooper [edit]
- You take my life but I'll take yours too
You fire your musket but I run you through
So when you're waiting for the next attack
You'd better stand there's no turning back.
- The bugle sounds and the charge begins
But on this battlefield no one wins
The smell of acrid smoke and horses breath
As I plunge on into certain death.
Flight of Icarus [edit]
- Now the crowd breaks and a young boy appears
Looks the old man in the eye
As he spreads his wings and shouts at the crowd
In the name of God my father I'll fly
- Fly, on your way, like an eagle
Fly as high as the Sun
On your way, like an eagle
Fly, touch the Sun
Powerslave (1984 Album) [edit]
2 Minutes to Midnight [edit]
- The killer's breed or the Demon's seed,
The glamour, the fortune, the pain,
Go to war again, blood is freedom's stain,
Don't you pray for my soul anymore.
- 2 minutes to midnight,
The hands that threaten doom.
2 minutes to midnight,
To kill the unborn in the womb.
Aces High [edit]
- Running, scrambling, flying
Rolling, turning, diving
- Run,
Live to fly, fly to live, do or die
Won't you
Run, live to fly, fly to live
Aces high
Somewhere in Time (1986 Album) [edit]
Wasted Years [edit]
Always searching for those wasted years
- Too much time on my hands
I got you on my mind
Can't ease this pain, so easily
When you can't find the words to say
It's hard to make it through another day
And it makes me want to cry
And throw my hands up to the sky
- So understand
Don't waste your time
Always searching for those wasted years
Face up... make your stand
And realize you're living in the golden years
Seventh Son of a Seventh Son (1988 Album) [edit]
Infinite Dreams [edit]
- Infinite dreams, I can't deny them
Infinity is hard to comprehend
I couldn't hear those screams
Even in my wildest dreams
- It can't be all coincidence
Too many things are evident
You tell me you're an unbeliever
Spiritualist? Well me I'm neither
But wouldn't you like to know
The truth
Of what's out there to have the proof
And find out just which side
You're on
Where would you end in Heaven or
In hell?
- There's got to be just more to it
Than this
Or tell me why do we exist
I'd like to think that when I die
I'd get a chance, another time
And to return and live again
Reincarnate, play the game
Again and again and again
Can I Play with Madness [edit]
- Can I play with Madness?
The prophet stared at his crystal ball,
Can I play with Madness?
There's no vision there at all.
Can I play with Madness?
The prophet looked and he laughed at me!
Can I play with Madness?
He said you're blind, too blind to see!
The Evil That Men Do [edit]
Are in your hand
In your eyes I see the hunger, and the
Desperate cry that tears the night
Spend your years full of loneliness
Wasting love, in a desperate caress
Rolling shadows of nights
- Living on the razor's edge
Balancing on the ledge
You know, you know!
- Circle of fire my baptism of joy
And an end it seems
The seventh lamb slain
The book of life opens before me
- And I will pray for you
Some day I may return
Don't you cry for me
Beyond is where I learn
- The evil that men do lives on and on!
The Claivoyant [edit]
- There's a time to live but isn't it strange
That as soon as you're born you're dying
No Prayer for the Dying (1990 Album) [edit]
Bring Your Daughter... to the Slaughter [edit]
- Bring your daughter, bring your daughter to the slaughter
Let her go, let her go, let her go
Fear of the Dark (1992 Album) [edit]
Wasting Love [edit]
- Maybe one day I'll be an honest man
Up 'till now I'm doing the best I can
Long roads, long days, of sunrise, to sunset
Sunrise to sunset
- Dream on brothers, while you can
Dream on sisters, I hope you find the one
All of our lives, covered up quickly
By the tides of time
- Sands are flowing and the lines
Are in your hand
In your eyes I see the hunger, and the
Desperate cry that tears the night
- Spend your days full of emptiness
Spend your years full of loneliness
Wasting love, in a desperate caress
Rolling shadows of nights
Fear of the Dark [edit]
I have a phobia that someone's always there
- When the light begins to change
I sometimes feel a little strange
A little anxious when it's dark
- 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'll find it hard to look again
Because you're sure that someone's there
- Fear of the dark, fear of the dark
I have constant fear that something's always near
Fear of the dark, fear of the dark
I have a phobia that someone's always there
The X Factor (1995 Album) [edit]
Lord of the Flies [edit]
Something within us
To be lord of the flies
- I don't care for this world anymore
I just want to live my own fantasy
Fate has brought us to these shores
What was meant to be is now happening
- I've found that I like this living in danger
Living on edge it makes feel as one
Who cares now what's right or wrong,
it's reality
- We don't need a code of morality
- I like all the mixed emotion and anger
It brings out the animal the power you can feel
And feeling so high on this much adrenalin
Excited but scary to believe what we've become
- Saints and sinners
Something within us
To be lord of the flies
Brave New World (2000 Album) [edit]
The Wicker Man [edit]
- 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
Out of the Silent Planet [edit]
- Withered hands, withered bodies begging for salvation
Deserted by the hand of gods of their own creation
Nations cry underneath decaying skies above
You are guilty
- The punishment is death for all who live
Dreams of desolation
Out of the silent planet
Come the demons of creation
.jpg)
as it falls upon the leaves.
I'll say what I want
And no one can take it away
See my ship is oversold
You've got one last chance to try
- The killing fields, the grinding wheels crushed by equilibrium
Separate lives no more disguise, no more second chances
Haggard wisdom spitting out the bitter taste of hate
I accuse youBefore you know the crime it's all too late
- Out of the silent planet
Dreams of desolation
Out of the silent planet
Come the demons of creation
Dance of Death (2003 Album) [edit]
Rainmaker [edit]
- When I was wandering in the desert and was searching for the truth
I heard a choir of angels calling out my name.
I had the feeling that my life would never be the same again
I turned my face towards the barren sun.
- And I know, of the pain, that you feel the same as me.
And I dream, of the rain, as it falls upon the leaves.
And the cracks, in our lives, like the cracks upon the ground.
They are sealed, and are now, washed away.
- You tell me we can start the rain.
You tell me that we all can change.
You tell me we can find something to wash the tears away.
You tell me we can start the rain.
You tell me that we all can change.
You tell me we can find something to wash the tears.
Journeyman [edit]
- And the fragment remains of our memories
And the shadows we made with our hands
Deeper grey, come to form all the colors of the dawn
Will this Journeyman’s day be his last?
- In your life you may choose desolation
And the shadows you build with your hands
If you turn to the light
That is burning in the night
Then the Journeyman's day has begun
- I know what I want
I'll say what I want
And no one can take it away
Age of Innocence [edit]
- So we can only get one chance can we take it
And we only get one life can't exchange it
Can we hold on to what we have don't replace it
The age of innocence is fading... like an old dream
The Final Frontier (2010 Album) [edit]
El Dorado [edit]
- El Dorado come and play
El Dorado step this way
Take a ticket for the ride
El Dorado of streets of gold
See my ship is oversold
You've got one last chance to try
