Aces High
Iron Maiden

There goes the siren that warns of the air raid


There 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 wheel blocks
There's no time to waste
Gathering speed as we head down the runway
Got to get airborne before it's too late

Running (running), scrambling (scrambling), flying (flying)


Rolling (rolling), turning (turning), diving (diving)
Going in again
Running (running), scrambling (scrambling), flying (flying)
Rolling (rolling), turning (turning), diving (diving)

Run
Live to fly
Fly to live, do or die
Won't you 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 to come in behind them
Move to their blindsides and firing again

Bandits at 8 o'clock move in behind us


Ten ME-109s out of the Sun
Ascending and turning our Spitfires to face them
Heading straight for them I press down my guns

2 Minutes To Midnight
Iron Maiden

Kill for gain or shoot to maim


But we don't need a reason
The Golden Goose is on the loose
And never out of season
Blackened pride still burns inside
This shell of bloody treason
Here's my gun for a barrel of fun
For the love of living death

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

The blind men shout let the creatures out


We'll show the unbelievers
The Napalm screams of human flames
Of a prime time Belsen feast, yeah!
As the reasons for the carnage cut their meat
And lick the gravy
We oil the jaws of the war machine
And feed it with our babies

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

06/02/2022 16:59 2 MINUTES TO MIDNIGHT - Iron Maiden (Impressão)

2 minutes to midnight
The hands that threaten doom
2 minutes to midnight
To kill the unborn in the womb

The body bags and little rags of children


Torn in two
And the jellied brains of those who remain
To put the finger right on you
As the madmen play on words and make us all
Dance to their song
To the tune of starving millions
To make a better kind of gun

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
Midnight, midnight, midnight, is all night
Midnight, midnight, midnight, is all night

06/02/2022 16:58 THE TROOPER - Iron Maiden (Impressão)

The Trooper
Iron Maiden

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 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

Oh!
Oh!

The horse he sweats, with fear, we break to run


The mighty roar of the Russian guns
And as we race towards the human wall
The screams of pain as my comrades fall

We hurdle bodies that lay on the ground


And the Russians fire another round
We get so near yet so far away
We won't live to fight another day

Oh!
Oh!

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 take my horse below

And as I lay there gazing at the sky


My body's numb and my throat is dry

Powerslave
Iron Maiden

Into the Abyss I'll fall-the eye of Horus


Into the eyes of the night-watching me go
Green is the cat's eye that glows-
In this Temple
Enter the risen Osiris-risen again

Tell me why I had to be a Powerslave


I don't wanna die, I'm a God
Why can't I live on?
When the Life Giver dies
All around is laid to waste
And in my last hour
I'm a slave to the Power of Death

When I was living this lie-Fear was my game


People would worship and fall-
Drop to their knees
So bring me the blood and red wine
For the one to succeed me
For he is a man and a God-
And He will die too

Tell me why I had to be a Powerslave


I don't wanna die, I'm a God
Why can't I live on?
When the Life Giver dies
All around is laid to waste
And in my last hour
I'm a slave to the Power of Death

Now I am cold but a ghost lives in my veins


Silent the terror that reigned-
Marbled in stone

A shell of a man God preserved-


For a thousand ages
But open the gates of my Hell-
I will strike from the grave

Tell me why I had to be a Powerslave


I don't wanna die, I'm a God
Why can't I live on?
When the Life Giver dies
All around is laid waste
And in my last hour
I'm a slave to the Power of Death
Slave to the Power of Death
Slave to the Power of Death

Children Of The Damned


Iron Maiden

He's walking like a small child


But watch his eyes burn you away
Black holes in his golden stare
God knows he wants to go home
Children of The Damned
Children of The Damned
Children of The Damned
Children of The Damned

He's walking like a dead man


If he had lived he would have crucified us all
Now he's standing on his last step
He thought oblivion, well it beckons to us all
Children of The Damned
Children of The Damned
Children of The Damned
Children of The Damned

Now it's burning his hands, he's turning to laugh


Smiles as the flames sear his flesh
Melting his face, screaming in pain
Peeling the skin from his eyes
Watch him die according to plan
He's dust on the ground, what did we learn

You're Children of The Damned


Your back's against the wall
You turn into the light
You're burning in the night
You're Children of The Damned
Like candles watch them burn
Burning in the light
You'll burn again tonight

Can I Play With Madness


Iron Maiden

Give me the sense to wonder


To wonder if I'm free
Give me the sense to wonder
To know I can be me
Give me the strength, to hold my head up
Spit back in their face
Don't need no key, to unlock this door
Gonna break down the walls
Break out of this bad place

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!

I screamed aloud to the old man


I said: Don't lie, don't say you don't know!
I say: You'll pay for your mischief in this world, or the next!
Oh, then he fixed me with a freezing glance
And the hellfires raged in his eyes
He said: Do you want to know the truth son?
I'll tell you the truth! Your soul's gonna burn, in a lake of fire!

Can I play with madness?


The prophet stared at his crystal ball
Can I play with madness?
There's no vision there at all

Fear Of The Dark


Iron Maiden

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 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 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 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
I have constant fear that something's always near
Fear of the dark

Wasting Love
Iron Maiden

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

Spend your days full of emptiness


Spend your years full of loneliness
Wasting love in a desperate caress
Rolling shadows of night

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 night

Spend your days full of emptiness


Spend your years full of loneliness
Wasting love in a desperate caress

The Evil That Men Do


Iron Maiden

Love is a razor
And I walked the line on that silver blade
Slept in the dust with his daughter
Her eyes red with the slaughter of innocence
And I will pray for her
I will call her name out loud
I would bleed for her
If I could only see her now

Living on the razor's edge


Balancing on the ledge
Living on the razor's edge
Balancing on the ledge

Balancing on the ledge


Living on the razor's edge
Balancing on the ledge
You know, you know!

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 lives on and on!

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

Flight Of Icarus
Iron Maiden

As the Sun breaks, above the ground


An old man stands on the hill
As the ground warms, to the first rays of light
A birdsong shatters the still

His eyes are ablazed


See the madman in his gaze

Fly, on your way, like an eagle


Fly as high as the Sun
On your way, like an eagle
Fly touch the Sun

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 fly

His eyes seem so glazed


As he flies on the wings of a dream
Now he knows his father betrayed
Now his wings turn to ashes to ashes his grave

Fly, on your way, like an eagle


Fly as high as the Sun
On your way, like an eagle
Fly touch the Sun

The Number Of The Beast


Iron Maiden

Woe to you, oh, earth and sea


For the Devil sends the beast with wrath
Because he knows the time is short
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

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

Yeah!

The 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?

6-6-6, the number of the beast


Hell and fire was spawned to be released

Torches blazed and sacred chants were phrased


As they start to cry, hands held to the sky
In the night, the fires are burning bright
The ritual has begun, Satan's work is done

6-6-6, 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 just some crazy dream?
But I feel drawn towards the chanting hordes
They seem to mesmerize
Can't avoid their eyes

6-6-6, the number of the beast


6-6-6, 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

Wasted Years
Iron Maiden

From the Coast of Gold


Across the Seven Seas
I'm travelling on
Far and wide

But now it seems


I'm just a stranger to myself
And all the things I sometimes do
It isn't me, but someone else

I close my eyes
And think of home
Another city goes by
In the night

Ain't it funny how it is?


You never miss it till it's gone away
And my heart is lying there
And will be till my dying day

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

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 wanna cry
And throw my hands up to the sky

Hallowed Be Thy Name


Iron Maiden

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, yeah!

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 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 fall, 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, why has He let me go?
As I walk, 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, believe my soul lives on


Don't worry now that I have gone

Run To The Hills


Iron Maiden

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 are 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
