Songs By First Line (Iron Maiden)

You'll take my life but I'll take yours too You'll fire your musket but I'll run you through

Eleven saintly shrouded men Silhouettes stand against the sky

Love is a razor and I walked the line on that silver blade Slept in the dust with his daughter

Covered in sinners and dripping with guilt Making you money from slime and from filth

As the sun breaks above the ground An old man stands on the hill

From the coast of gold across the seven seas I'm travellin' on far and wide

Hand of fate is moving and the finger points to you He knocks you to your feet and so what are you gonna do?

White man came across the sea He brought us pain and misery

Let me tell you a story to chill the bones About a thing that I saw

Dying swans twisted wings, beauty not needed here Lost my love, lost my life, in this garden of fear

I'm running out of my time I'm running out of breath

There goes the siren that warns of the air raid There comes the sound of the guns sending flak

Can't understand what is happening to me This isn't real, this is only a dream

Sacrifices buried with kings Accompany them on a journey with no end

I am a man who walks alone And when I'm walking a dark road

I was born into a scene of angriness and greed Dominance and persecution

Woe to you, o'er Earth and Sea For the Devil sends the beast with wrath

I've been looking so long for you now You won't get away from my grasp

Wake alone in the hills With the wind in your face

Believe in me and send no money I died on the cross, that ain't funny

When I was wandering in the desert I was searching for the truth

It's the same in every country when you say you're leaving Left behind my loved ones waiting silent in the hall

Honey, it's getting close to midnight And all the myths are still in town

Kill for gain or shoot to maim But we don't need a reason
