You lead me on the path Keep showing me the way I feel a little lost A little strange today
I think I'll take a hold Of whatever comes my way Then we'll see what happens Take it day by day
I thought I had it all I had it all worked out Just what my future held That there would be no doubt
But then the card came up And I took another turn But I don't know if it's Fulfilment that I yearn
Tell me what you can hear And then tell me what you see Everybody has a different way To view the world
I would like you to know When you see the simple things To appreciate this life It's not too late to learn
Don't want to be here Somewhere I'd rather be But when I get there I might find it's not for me
Tell me what you can hear And then tell me what you see Everybody has a different way To view the world
I would like you to know When you see the simple things To appreciate this life It's not too late to learn
(02:41 – Solo: Adrian Smith)
Tell me what you can hear And then tell me what you see Everybody has a different way To view the world
I would like you to know When you see the simple things To appreciate this life It's not too late to learn
Don't want to be here Somewhere I'd rather be But when I get there I might find it's not for me
Don't know what I want Or where I want to be I'm feeling more confused The more the days go by
These Colours Don't Run [06:52] (Smith, Harris, Dickinson)
It's the same in every countrywhen you say you're leaving Left behind the loved oneswaiting silent in the hall Where you're going lies adventureothers only dream of Red and green light this is realand so you go to war
For the passion, for the glory,for the memories, for the money You're a soldier, for your countrywhat'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 youlook it in the eye On the shores of tyranny youcrashed a human wave Paying for my freedom with yourlonely unmarked graves
For the passion, for the glory,for the memories, for the money You're a soldier, for your countrywhat'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
(03:52 – Solo: Dave Murray) (04:32 – Solo: Adrian Smith)

Brighter Than A Thousand Suns [06:18] (Smith, Harris, Dickinson)
We are not the sons of God We are not his chosen people now We have crossed the path he trod We will feel the pain of his beginning
Shadow fingers rise above Iron fingers stab the desert sky Oh behold the power of man On its tower, ready for the fall
Knocking heads together well Raze a city, build a living hell Join the race to suicide Listen for the tolling of the bell
Out of the universe, a strange love is born Unholy union, trinity reformed
Yellow sun its evil twin In the black the wings deliver him We will split our souls within Atom seed to nuclear dust is riven
Out of the universe, a strange love is born Unholy union, trinity reformed
Out of the darkness, brighter than a thousand suns Out of the darkness, brighter than a thousand suns Out of the darkness, brighter than a thousand suns Out of the darkness, brighter than a thousand suns
Out of the darkness, brighter than a thousand suns Out of the darkness, brighter than a thousand suns
(03:33 – Solo: Adrian Smith)
Bury your morals and bury your dead Bury your head in the sand E=mc2 you can relate How we made God with our hands
Whatever would Robert have said to his God About how he made war with the sun E=mc2 you can relate How we made God with our hands
All nations are risingthrough acid veils of love and hate Chain letters of Satan,uncertainty leads us all to this All nations are risingthrough acid veils of love and hate Cold fusion and fury
(05:25 – Solo: Janick Gers)
Divide and conquer while ye may Others preach and others fall and pray In the bunkers where we'll die There the executioners they lie
Bombers launch with no recall Minute-warning of the missile fall Take a look at your last sky Guessing you won't have the time to cry
Out of the universe, a strange love is born Unholy union, trinity reformed
Out of the darkness Out of the darkness Out of the darkness, brighter than a thousand suns Out of the darkness, brighter than a thousand suns Out of the darkness, brighter than a thousand suns Out of the darkness, brighter than a thousand suns Out of the darkness, brighter than a thousand suns
Holy Father we have sinned
The Pilgrim [05:07] (Gers, Harris)
The keys to death and hell The ailing kingdom doomed to fail The bonds of sin and heart will break The pilgrim's course will take
Quelling the devil's might And ready for eternal fight Aching limbs and fainting soul Holy battles take their toll
Liberty and hope divine Changing the water into wine So to you we bid farewell Kingdom of heaven to hell
Spirit holy life eternal Raise me up, take me home Pilgrim sunrise, pagan sunset Onward journey begun
To courage find and gracious will Deliver good from ill Clean the water, clean our guilt With us do what you will
Then will my judge appear Bear no false angel that I hear For only then I will confess To my eternal hell
Now give us our holy sign Changing our water into wine So to you we bid farewell Kingdom of heaven to hell
Spirit holy life eternal Raise me up, take me home Pilgrim sunrise, pagan sunset Onward journey begun
(03:03 – Solo: Janick Gers)

The Longest Day [07:48] (Smith, Harris, Dickinson)
In the gloom the gathering storm abates In the ships gimlet eyes await The call to arms to hammer at the gates To blow them wide, throw evil to its fate
All summer's long the drills to build the machine To turn men from flesh and blood to steel From paper soldiers to bodies on the beach From summer sands to Armageddon's reach
Overlord, your master not your god The enemy coast dawning grey with scud These wretched souls puking, shaking fear To take a bullet for those who sent them here
The world's alight, the cliffs erupt in flames No escape, remorseless shrapnel rains Drowning men, no chance for a warrior's fate A choking death, enter hell's gates
Sliding we go, only fear on our side To the edge of the wireand we rush with the tide Oh the water is redwith the blood of the dead But I'm still alive, pray to God I survive
How long on this longest day'til we finally make it through How long on this longest day'til we finally make it through How long on this longest day'til we finally make it through How long on this longest day'til we finally make it through
The rising dead, faces bloated torn They are relieved, the living wait their turn Your number's up, the bullet's got your name You still go on, to hell and back again
Valhalla waits, valkyries rise and fall The warrior tombs lie open for us all A ghostly hand reaches through the veil Blood and sand, we will prevail
Sliding we go, only fear on our side To the edge of the wireand we rush with the tide Oh the water is redwith the blood of the dead But I'm still alive, pray to God I survive
How long on this longest day'til we finally make it through How long on this longest day'til we finally make it through How long on this longest day'til we finally make it through How long on this longest day'til we finally make it through
(05:18 – Solo: Adrian Smith) (06:21 – Solo: Dave Murray)

Out Of The Shadows [05:36] (Dickinson, Harris)
("Mega solo" throughout the song: Dave Murray)
Hold a halo 'round the world,golden is the day Princes of the universeyour burden is the way So there is no better timewho will be born today A gypsy child at daybreak A King for a day
Out of the shadows and into the sun Dreams of the past as the old ways are done Oh there is beauty and surely there is pain But we must endure it to live again
Dusty dreams in fading daylight Flicker on the walls Nothing new your life's adrift,what purpose to it all? Eyes are closed and death is calling Reaching out its hand Call upon the starlight to surround you
Out of the shadows and into the sun Dreams of the past as the old ways are done Oh there is beauty and surely there is pain But we must endure it to live again
(02:32 – Solo: Adrian Smith)
Out of the shadows and into the sun Dreams of the past as the old ways are done Oh there is beauty and surely there is pain But we must endure it to live again
Out of the shadows and into the sun Dreams of the past as the old ways are done Oh there is beauty and surely there is pain But we must endure it to live again
Out of the shadows and into the sun Dreams of the past as the old ways are done Oh there is beauty and surely there is pain But we must endure it to live again
A man who casts no shadow has no soul
The Reincarnation Of Benjamin Breeg [07:21] (Murray, Harris)
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 soulsweigh 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
Someone to save me Something to save me from myself To bring salvation To exorcise this hell
(05:34 – Solo: Dave Murray)
Someone to save me Something to save me from my hell A destination Away from this nightmare
Someone to save me Something to save me from myself To bring salvation To exorcise this hell
For The Greater Good Of God [09:06] (Harris)
Are you a man of peace Or a man of holy war Too many sides to you Don't know which anymore So many full of life But also filled with pain Don't know just how many Will live to breathe again
A life that's made to breathedestruction or defense A mind that's vain corruptionbad or good intent A wolf in sheep's clothing Or saintly or sinner Or some that would believe A holy war winner
They fire off many shotsor many parting blows Their actions beyond a reasoning,only god would know And as he lies in heavenor it could be in hell I feel he's somewhere hereor looking from below But I don't know, I don't know
Please tell me now what life is Please tell me now what love is Well tell me now what war is Again tell me what life is
More pain and misery in the history of mankind Sometimes it seems more likethe blind leading the blind It brings upon us more of famine, death and war You know religion has a lot to answer for
Please tell me now what life is Please tell me now what love is Well tell me now what war is Again tell me what life is
And as they search to find the bodies in the sand They'll find its ashes that arescattered across the land And as their spirits seem to whistle on the wind A shot is fired somewhere, another war begins
And all because of it you'd thinkthat we would learn But still the body count the city fires burn Somewhere there's someone dyingin a foreign land Meanwhile the world is crying, stupidity of man Tell me why, tell me why
Please tell me now what life is Please tell me now what love is Well tell me now what war is Again tell me what life is
Please tell me now what life is Please tell me now what love is Well tell me now what war is Again tell me what life is
For the greater good of God For the greater good of God For the greater good of God For the greater good of God For the greater good of God For the greater good of God For the greater good of God For the greater good of God
(05:48 – Solo: Janick Gers) (06:16 – Solo: Adrian Smith) (06:29 – Solo: Dave Murray)
Please tell me now what life is Please tell me now what love is Well tell me now what war is Again tell me what life is
Please tell me now what life is Please tell me now what love is Well tell me now what war is Again tell me what life is
For the greater good of God For the greater good of God For the greater good of God For the greater good of God For the greater good of God For the greater good of God For the greater good of God For the greater good of God
He gave his life for us, he fell upon the cross To die for all of those who never mourn his loss It wasn't meant for us to feel the pain again Tell me why, tell me why
Lord Of Light [07:23] (Smith, Harris, Dickinson)
There are secrets that you keep There are secrets that you keep There are secrets that you tell to me alone I can't reach things I can't see You don't see this strange worldquite the same as me Don't deny me what I am Nothing hidden still you fail to see the truth These are things you can't reveal
These are things you can't reveal
We are part of some strange plan Why the slaughter of the brotherhood of man Infernal sacrifice of hell Fire-breathing lead the way Mounds of bodies as they all burn into one Revenge is living in the past Time to look into a new millenium
Spiral path leads through the maze Down into the fiery underworld below Fire-breathing lead the way Lucifer was just an angel led astray
Free your soul and let it fly Give your life to the Lord of Light Keep your secrets and rain on me All I see are mysteries
Free your soul and let it fly Give your life to the Lord of Light Keep your secrets and rain on me All I see are mysteries
We are not worthy in your blackand blazing eyes We gather demons in the mirror every day The bridge of darkness casts ashadow on us all All our sins to you we give this day
Others wait their turn,their lives were meant to last Use yours wisely as the light is fading fast Free your soul and let it fly Mine was caught, I couldn't try Time returns again to punish all of us
We are cast out by our bloody father's hand We are strangers in this lonely promised land We are the shadows of the one unholy ghost In our nightmare world the only one we trust
(05:14 – Solo: Adrian Smith) (05:51 – Solo: Dave Murray)
Free your soul and let it fly Give your life to the Lord of Light Keep your secrets and rain on me All I see are mysteries
Free your soul and let it fly Give your life to the Lord of Light Keep your secrets and rain on me All I see are mysteries
The Legacy [09:20] (Gers, Harris)
Tell you a thing That you ought to know Two minutes of your time Then on you go
Tell tale of the men All dressed in black That most of them Not coming back
Sent off to war To play little games And on their return Can't name no names
Some strange yellow gas Has played with their minds Has reddened their eyes Removed all the lies
And strange as it sounds Death knows no bounds How many get well Only time will tell
Only time will tell
You lie in your death bed now But what did you bring to the table Brought us only holy sin Utter trust is a deadly thing
To the prayer of holy peace We didn't know what was lying underneath So how could we be such fools And to think that we thought you the answer
I can't begin to understand in all the lies But on your death bed I can see it in your eyes Just as clear as all the sweat upon your brow It really makes sense I can see it clearly now
Tangles up in a web of lies Could have been a way to prophesise Unaware of the consequence Not aware of the secrets that you kept
Nothing that we could believe To reveal the façade of faceless men Not a thing that we could foresee Now a sign that would tell us the outcome
You had us all strung out with promises of peace But all along your cover plan was to deceive Can it put to right now only time will tell Your prophecies will send us all to hell as well
Left to all our golden sons All to pick up on the peace You could have given all of them A little chance... at least
Take the world to a better place Given them all just a little hope Just think what a legacy You now... will leave
(05:56 – Solo: Janick Gers)
We seem destined to live in fear And some that would say Armageddon is near But where there's a life while there's hope That man won't self-destruct
Why can't we treat our fellow men With more respect and a shake of their hands But anger and loathing is rife The death on all sides is becoming a way of life
We live in an uncertain world Fear understanding and ignorance is leading to death Only the corpses are left For vultures that prey on their bones
But some are just not wanting peace Their whole life is death and misery The only thing that they know Fight fire with fire, life is cheap
But if they do stop to think That man is teetering right on the brink But do you think that they care They benefit from death and pain and despair
