Run To the Hills (Live) - Iron Maiden

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

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 Freedom Freedom And I know what I want When the timing is right Then I'll take what is mine I am the clansman

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
