"Besides one or two other acts, to date there’s still no other metal band that wields the same global popularity as Iron Maiden. The U.K. outfit has long dominated the metal genre with its signature galloping riffs, dueling guitars solos and anthemic choruses, all of which are now tropes found in metal music as a result of Iron Maiden’s massive influence."

"There's an evil virus that's threatening mankind Not state of the art, a serious state of the mind The muggers, the backstabbers, the two faced elite A menace to society, a social disease"

"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 the Journeyman's day has begun"

"And the fragment remains of our memories And the shadows we made with our hands Deeper grey, come to form all the colors of the dawn Will this Journeyman’s day be his last?"

"So we can only get one chance can we take it And we only get one life can't exchange it Can we hold on to what we have don't replace it The age of innocence is fading... like an old dream"

"You tell me we can start the rain. You tell me that we all can change. You tell me we can find something to wash the tears away. You tell me we can start the rain. You tell me that we all can change. You tell me we can find something to wash the tears."

"And I know, of the pain, that you feel the same as me. And I dream, of the rain, as it falls upon the leaves. And the cracks, in our lives, like the cracks upon the ground. They are sealed, and are now, washed away."

"When I was wandering in the desert and was searching for the truth I heard a choir of angels calling out my name. I had the feeling that my life would never be the same again I turned my face towards the barren sun."

"The punishment is death for all who live"

"Over clouds my mind will fly, forever now I can't think why. My body tries to leave my soul. Or is it me, I just don't know. Mem'ries rising from the past, the future's shadow overcast. Something's clutching at my head, through the darkness I'll be led."

"13 the Beast is Rising, The Frenchman did surmise, Through earthquakes and starvation, The Warlord will arise, Terror, Death, Destruction, Pour from the Eastern sands, But the truth of all predictions, Is always in your hands."

"Fly, on your way, like an eagle Fly as high as the Sun On your way, like an eagle Fly, touch the Sun"

"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'll fly"

"Bind us all together, Ablaze with Hope and Free. No storm or heavy weather, Will rock the boat you'll see."

"She came to me with a serpents kiss, As the Eye of the Sun rose on her lips. Moonlight catches silver tears I cry."

"Just a babe in a black abyss, No reason for a place like this. The walls are cold and souls cry out in pain. An easy way for the blind to go, A clever path for the fools who know The Secret of the Hangman the smile on his lips. The light of the Blind you'll see, The venom that tears my spine, The Eyes of the Nile are opening you'll see."

"The sands of time for me are running low."

"Around the world the nations wait, For some wise word from their leading light. You know it's not only madmen who listen to fools. Is this the end, the millions cried, Clutching their riches as they died. Those who survive must weather the storm."

"Iron Maiden can't be fought, Iron Maiden can't be sought."

"Can you hear me calling Out your name? You know that I'm falling, And I don't know what to say."

"If I live to see the seven wonders, I'll make a path to the rainbow's end. I'll never live to match the beauty again."

"There's nobody in the future, So baby let me hand you my love. There's no step for you to dance to, So slip your hand inside of my glove."

"So I'm back, to the velvet underground, Back to the floor, that I love. To a room with some lace and paper flowers. Back to the gypsy that I was; To the gypsy...that I was."

"Honey, honey, honey Who could be sweeter than you Honey, honey, honey Bitter sweet, but what can I do Lord, it's good to talk to you Even sweeter than wine Don't take the love light away Cause I'm far away from home"

"You look at me with those brown eyes What do you want to do? Do you have to have me The way that I want you?"

"Drowning in the sea of love, Where everyone would love to drown. And now it's gone. It doesn't matter anymore. When you build your house, Call me home."

"I don't hold you down Maybe that's why you're around. But if I'm the one you love, Think about me. I believe that you really want me But it's not easy, just to give in. So let yourself go, and let love begin."

"Did she make you cry? Make you break down? Shatter your illusions of love? Is it over now, do you know how? Pick up the pieces and go home."

"I never did believe in miracles, But I've a feeling it's time to try. I never did believe in the ways of magic, But I'm beginning to wonder why."

"And if You don't love me now, You will never love me again. I can still hear you saying You would never break the chain."

"For you, there'll be no more crying, For you, the sun will be shining. And I feel that when I'm with you, It's alright, I know it's right."

"Loving you Isn't the right thing to do. How can I ever change things That I feel? If I could, Maybe I'd give you my world. How can I When you won't take it from me?You can go your own way. Go your own way."

"If you wake up and don't want to smile, If it takes just a little while, Open your eyes and look at the day. You'll see things in a different way.Don't stop, thinking about tomorrow, Don't stop, it'll soon be here. It'll be, better than before. Yesterday's gone, yesterday's gone."

"Thunder only happens when it's raining; Players only love you when they're playing. Say... Women... they will come and they will go. When the rain washes you clean... you'll know."
