The Assasin

Now the contracts out
Theyve out the word about
Im coming after you
Its not the money I make
Its the thrill of the chase
And Im coming after you
I watch you every move
Study the things you do
And the pattern of your ways
I watch you walk you walk
I hear your telephone talk
I want to understand the way you think
Better watch out cos Im the assassin
Better watch out better watch out
Better watch out cos Im the assassin
Better watch out better watch out
Im in a cold sweat
I taste the smell of death
I know the moments getting closer
And as you walk to the light

She's Gone

========================
Iron Maiden - She's Gone
========================
(Note: Performed at the Marquee club 19.12.1985)
(Note: Original by Black Sabbath, on album Technical Ecstasy)
I've been gone a long long time,waiting for you
I din't want to see you go
And now it's hurting so much,what can I do?
I wanted you to be my wife
The days are passing slowly,since you've gone
Your memories are all I have
I sit here waiting but you'll never show
Without you I can't carry on
You said you'd always love me,all of my life
And then you said your last goodbye
Why the sudden change,why all the lies,
I should have seen it in your eyes
The endless hours of heartache,waiting for you
My summer love has turned to rain
The silent emptiness of one sided love

Bring Your Daughter... To The Slaughter

Honey its getting close to midnight
And all the myths are still in town
True love and lipstick on your linen
Bite the pillow make no sound
If here's some living to be done
Before your life becomes your tomb
You'd better know that i'm the one
So unchain your back door invite me around
Bring your daughter, bring your daughter to the slaughter
Let her go, let her go, let her go
Honey its getting close to daybreak
The sun is creeping in the sky
No patent remedies for heartache
Just empty words and humble pie
So get down on your knees honey
Assume an attitude
You just pray that I'll be waiting
'Cause you know I'm coming soon
So pick up your foolish pride, no going back
No where, no way, no place to hide

Powerslave

(bruce dickinson)
Into the abyss Ill fall-the eye of horus
Into the eyes of the night-watching me go
Green is the cats eye that glows-in this temple
Enter the risen osiris-risen again.
Chorus
Tell me why I had to be a powerslave
I dont wanna die, Im a god, why cant I live on?
When the life giver dies, all around is laid to waste.
And in my last hour,
Im 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.
Chorus
Now I am cold but a ghost lives in my veins,
Silent the terror that reigned-maarbled in stone
Shell of a man God preserved-a thousand ages
But open the gates of my hell-i will strike from the grave.

When Two Worlds Collide

(murray, bayley, harris )
My telescope looks out
Into the stars tonight
A little speck of light
Seems twice the size tonight
The calculations are so fine
Can it be growing all the time?
Now I cant believe its true
And I dont know what to do
For the hundredth time
I check the declination
Now the fear starts to grow
Even my computer shows
There are no errors in the calculations
Now its happened take no other view
Collision course, you must believe its true
Now theres nothing left that we can do
When two worlds collide
The anger and the pain
Of all those who remain

Burning Ambition

So you think you can own me, well you'd better just think again
You'd better watch your steps now, woman, cause I ain't like those other men
There's something burning inside me that makes me want to be free
And when I get these feelings honey, you better keep away from me
There's things in life now, baby, that I know I've got to do
And I need your love now, baby, to help me see it through
So you think you can own me, well you'd better just think again
You'd better watch your steps now, woman, cause I ain't like those other men
So you think you can own me, well you'd better just think again
You'd better watch your steps now, woman, cause I ain't like those other men
There's something burning inside me that makes me want to be free
And when I get these feelings honey, you better keep away from me

Back In The Village

Turn the spotlights on the people,
Switch the dial and eat the worm.
Take your chances, kill the engine,
Drop your bombs and let it burn.
White flags shot to ribbons,
The truce is black and burned,
Shellshock in the kitchen,
Tables overturned.
Chorus
Back in the village again,
In the village.
Im back in the village again.
Throwing dice now, rolling loaded,
I see sixes all the way.
In a black hole, and Im spinning
As my wings get shot away.
No breaks on the inside,
Paper cats and burning barns,
Theres a fox among the chickens,
And a killer in the hounds.

Public Enema Number One

(murray/dickinson)
When it all comes down the line
And the lights they turn to greed
And you race off with your tyres screaming
Rolling thunder
And the people choke with poison
Children cry in fear
But youve got your fast bullet
One way ticket outta here
Chorus
Fall on your knees today
And pray the world will mend its ways
Get to your feet again
Refugees from the heartbreak and the pain
In the cities in the streets
Theres a tension you can feel
Breaking strain is fast approaching
Guns and riots
Politicians gamble and lie to save their skins
And the press get fed the scapegoats

Wrathchild

I was born into a scene
of angriness and greed
of dominance and persecution
My mother was a queen
my dad i've never seen
I was never meant to be
Now i spend my time
looking all around
for a man that's nowhere to be found
Until i find him, I'm never gonna stop searching,
I'm going to find my man,
gonna travel round
Cos I'm a wrathchild,
well I'm a wrathchild
Yeah I'm a wrathchild
Coming to get you
Some say it shouldn't matter,
ain't nothing gonna alter
the course of my destination
But i know I've gotta find

Fear Is The Key

We live our lives in fever
In a choking sweat of fear
In the heat of the night you can feel so much
In the heat of the night I scream dont touch!
I remember a time when we used and abused
And we fought all our battles in vain
I remember a time we thought that passion was free
In the heart of the night... bodies aflame
We live in fever...
I hear your secret heartbeat
I can hear your silent cries
The kids have lost their freedom
And nobody cares til somebody famous dies
I remember a time when we used and abused
And we fought all our battles in vain
I remember a time we thought that passion was free
In the heart of the night... bodies aflame
Now we live in a world of uncetainty
Fear is the key - to what you want to be
You dont get a say the majority gets its way
