Iron Maiden : Run To The Hills

It is as if, this metal, energetic music is used to vent the frustration of very smart people who can see thing as they are, but few understand them. I do, because they are right.



White man came across the sea
He brought us pain and misery
He killed our tribes 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 dustclouds 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

Iron Maiden : Phantom Of The Opera (1980)

I've been looking so long
For you
Now you won't get away from my grasp
You've been living so long in hiding
In hiding
Behind that false mask
And you know and I know
That you ain't got long now to last
Your looks and your feelings
Are just the remains of your past
You're standing in the wings
There you wait for the curtain to fall
Knowing the terror and holding
You have on us all
Yeah
I know that you're gonna scratch me
And maim me
And maul
You know I'm helpless
From your mesmerizing cat call

Keep your distance
Walk away
Don't take his bait
Don't you stray
Don't fade away
Watch your step
He's out to get you
Come what may
Don't you stray
From the narrow way

(instrumental)

I'm running and hiding
In my dreams, you're always there
You're the Phantom of the Opera
You're the devil
You're just out to scare
You damaged my mind
And my soul
It just floats through the air
Haunt me
You taunt me
You torture me
Back at your lair

Iron Maiden : Hallowed Be Thy Name

Im waiting in my cold cell when the bell begins to chime
Reflecting on my past life and it doesnt have much time
Cos at 5 oclock they take me to the gallows pole
The sands of time for me are running low

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 theres some sort of error
Hard to stop the surmounting terror
Is it really the end not some crazy dream

Somebody please tell me that Im dreaming
Its not so easy to stop from screaming
But words escape me when I try to speak
Tears they flow but why am I crying
After all I am not afraid of dying
Dont believe that there is never an end

As the guards march me out to the courtyard
Someone calls from a cell God be with you
If theres a God then why has he let me die?

As I walk all my life drifts before me
And though the end is near Im not sorry
Catch my soul cos its willing to fly away

Mark my words please believe my soul lives on
Please dont worry now that I have gone
Ive gone beyond to see the truth

When you know that your time is close at hand
Maybe then youll begin to understand
Life down there is just a strange illusion.
