Aces High (Live in Mexico City, Palacio de los Deportes, Mexico, September 2019) - Iron Maiden

Wake alone in the hills With the wind in your face It feels good to be proud and be free And a race that is part of a clan And to live on highlands And the air that you breathe So pure and so clean When alone on the hills With the wind in your hair With a longing to feel Just to be free Is it right to believe In the need to be free It's a time when you die And without asking why Can't you see what they do They are grinding us down They are taking our land That belongs to the clans Not alone with a dream Just a want to be free With a need to belong I am a clansman Freedom Freedom Freedom Freedom It's a time wrought with fear It's a land wrought with change Ancestors could hear what is happening now They would turn in their graves They would all be ashamed That the land of the free Has written in chains And I know what I want When the timing is right Then I'll take what is mine I am the clansman And I swear to defend And we'll fight to the end And I swear that I'll never be taken alive And I know that we'll stand And we'll fight for our land And I swear that my bairns Will be born free And I know what I want When the timing is right Then I'll take what I want I am the clansman Freedom Freedom Freedom Freedom No, no we can't let them take anymore No we can't let them take anymore We've the land of the free No, no we can't let them take anymore No we can't let them take anymore We've the land of the free (No, no we can't let them take anymore) (No we can't let them take anymore) (No we can't let them take anymore) (We've the land of the free) Freedom Freedom Freedom Freedom Is it right to believe In the need to be free It's a time when you die And without asking why Can't you see what they do They are grinding us down They are taking our land That belongs to the clans Not alone with a dream Just a want to be free With a need to belong I am a clansman And I know what I want When the timing is right Then I'll take what is mine I am the clansman Freedom Freedom (screamming) Freedom Freedom And I know what I want When the timing is right Then I'll take what is mine I am the clansman

11 saintly shrouded men Silhouettes stand against the sky One in front with a cross held high Come to wash my sins away Standing alone in the wind and rain Feeling the fear that is growing Sensing the change in the tide again Caught by the storm that is brewing Feel the anxiety hold by the fear Some of the doubt in the things you believe Now that your faith will be put to the test Nothing to do but await what is coming Why is then God still protecting me Even when I don't deserve it? Though I am blessed with an inner strength Some they would call it a penance Why do I have to face this alone? Asking the question time and again Praying to God won't keep me alive Inside my head feel the fear is in the rise They'll be saving their prayers when the moment comes Penance to pay when it's judgement day And the guilty'll bleed when the moment comes They'll be coming to claim, take your soul away The sign of the cross The name of the rose A fire in the sky The sign of the cross They'll be coming to bring the eternal flame They'll be bringing us all immortality Holding communion to the world be blessed My creator, my God, lay my soul to rest The sign of the cross The name of the rose A fire in the sky The sign of the cross The sign of the cross The name of the rose A fire in the sky The sign of the cross The name of the rose The sign of the cross Lost the love of heaven above Choose the lust of the earth below 11 saintly shrouded men Come to wash my sins away

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 ablaze 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 and touch the sun, yeah 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 and touch the sun, yeah Fly, on your way, like an eagle Fly as high as the sun On your way, like an eagle Fly as high as the sun On your way, like an eagle Fly, touch the sun On your way, like an eagle Fly! Ooh! Fly as high as the sun!

I am a man who walks alone When I'm walking a dark road At night or strolling through the park When the light begins to fade 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, Mehico (Fear of the dark) Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha I have a phobia, someone's always there Yeah Have you run your fingers down the wall And 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 Sensed that something's watching you 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 Have a phobia that someone's always there Have you ever been alone at night Thought you heard footsteps behind Turned around, no one's there? And as you quicken up your pace You find it hard to look again 'Cause you're sure there's someone there 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 Have a phobia that someone's always there Hey Mexico, do it Are you there? Can't hear ya? Are you there? Not bad Fear of the dark Fear of the dark Fear of the dark Fear of the dark Fear of the dark, you know what you singin' (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 Dancing shadows from behind 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 Have a phobia that someone's always there Fear of the dark, come on (Fear of the dark) I have a constant fear that something's always near Fear of the dark Fear of the dark Have a phobia that someone's always there When I'm walking a dark road I am a man who walks alone

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 five o'clock, they take me to the gallows pole, yeah The sands of time for me are running low Running low, low When the priest comes to read me the last rites 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 Not easy to stop from screaming Words escape me when I try to speak Tears flow, 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 then why has he let me go? As I walk all 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 I've gone beyond to seek the truth, yeah-yeah When you know that time is close at hand Maybe then you'll begin to understand Life down here is just a strange illusion Scream for me Mexico Scream for me Mehico (Yeah) Hallowed be thy name Yeah-yeah-yeah Hallowed by thy name Yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah

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 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 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'll 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...

In a foreign field he lay, lonely soldier unknown grave On his dying words he prays, tell the world of Paschendale Relive all that he's been through, last communion of his soul Rust your bullets with his tears. Let me tell you 'bout his years Laying low in a blood filled trench, killing time 'til my very own death On my face I can feel the falling rain, never see my friends again In the smoke in the mud and lead, smell the fear and the feeling of dread Soon be time to go over the wall, rapid fire and the end of us all Whistles, shouts and more gun fire, lifeless bodies hang on barbed wire Battlefield nothing but a bloody tomb, be reunited with my dead friends soon Many soldiers eighteen years, drown in mud no more tears Surely a war no-one can win, killing time about to begin Home, far away, from the war, a chance to live again Home, far away, but the war, no chance to live again The bodies of ours and our foes, the sea of death it overflows In no man's land God only knows, into jaws of death we go Crucified as if on a cross, allied troops they mourn their loss German war propaganda machine, such before has never been seen Swear I heard the angels cry, pray to god no more will die So that people know the truth, tell the tale of Paschendale Cruelty has a human heart, everyman does play his part Terror of the men we kill, the human heart is hungry still I stand my ground for the very last time, gun is ready as I stand in line Nervous wait for the whistle to blow, rush of blood and over we go Blood is falling like the rain, its crimson cloak unveils again The sound of guns can't hide their shame, and so we die on Paschendale Dodging shrapnel and barbed wire, running straight at cannon fire Running blind as I hold my breath, say a prayer symphony of death As we charge the enemy lines, a burst of fire and we go down I choke a cry but no-one hears, feel the blood go down my throat Home, far away, from the war, a chance to live again Home, far away, but the war, no chance to live again See my spirit on the wind, across the lines beyond the hill Friend and foe will meet again, those who died at Paschendale

Born into a scene, angriness and greed 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 Going to find my man Gonna travel round 'Cause I'm a wrathchild Yeah, I'm a wrathchild Well, I'm a wrathchild I'm coming to get you, oh yeah, yeah Oh... yeah! Say it doesn't matter, ain't nothing gonna alter The course of my destination I know I've gotta find serious peace of mind Or I know I'll just go crazy 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 'Cause I'm a wrathchild Well, I'm a wrathchild Yeah, I'm a wrathchild I'm coming to get you, ooh yeah, yeah

From the red sky of the east, to the sunset in the west We have cheated death and he has cheated us But that was just a dream, and this is what it means We are sleeping and we'll dream for evermore And the fragment remains, of our memories And the shadows we made, with our hands Deeper grey, came to mourn, all the colours of the dawn Will this journeyman's day be his last I know what I want, I'll say what I want And no one can take it away, I know what I want I'll say what I want, And no one can take it away I know what I want, I'll say what I want And no one can take it away, I know what I want I'll say what I want, And no one can take it away But the memory still remains, all the past years not so strange Our winter times are like a silent shroud And the heartbeat of the day drives the mist away And winter's not the only dream around In your life you may choose desolation And the shadows you build with your hands If you turn to the light, that is burning in the night Then your journeyman's day has begun I know what I want, I'll say what I want And no one can take it away, I know what I want I'll say what I want, And no one can take it away I know what I want, I'll say what I want And no one can take it away, I know what I want I'll say what I want, And no one can take it away In your life you may choose desolation And the shadows you build with your hands If you turn to the light, that is burning in the night Then your journeyman's day has begun I know what I want, I'll say what I want And no one can take it away, I know what I want I'll say what I want, And no one can take it away I know what I want, I'll say what I want And no one can take it away, I know what I want I'll say what I want, And no one can take it away
