Won’t you come into my room, I wanna show you all my wares.
I just want to see your blood, I just want to stand and stare.
See the blood begin to flow as it falls upon the floor.
Iron Maiden can’t be faught, Iron Maiden can’t be sought.

[Chorus]
Oh Well, wherever, wherever you are,
Iron Maiden’s gonna get you, no matter how far.
See the blood flow watching it shed up above my head.
Iron Maiden wants you for dead.

Won’t you come into my room, I wanna show you all my wares.
I just want to see your blood, I just want to stand and stare.
See the blood begin to flow as it falls upon the floor.
Iron Maiden can’t be fought, Iron Maiden can’t be sought.

Iron Maiden – To Tame a Land

To Tame a Land is the closing track on Iron Maiden’s fourth studio album, Piece of Mind.

It was inspired by the classic science fiction novel Dune by Frank Herbert. However, when Steve Harris requested permission from the author to name the song “Dune” and to use a spoken quotation as the track’s intro, his request was met with a stern reply from Frank Herbert’s agent: “No. Because Frank Herbert doesn’t like rock bands, particularly heavy rock bands, and especially rock bands like Iron Maiden”. This statement was backed up with a legal threat, and eventually the song was renamed “To Tame a Land” and released in 1983.

Iron Maiden – Aces High

Aces High is a song written by Steve Harris. It is Iron Maiden’s eleventh single and the second from the 1984 album Powerslave. The song tells the story of a British RAF pilot fighting against the German Luftwaffe during the Battle of Britain (1940), the first battle to be completely fought in the skies of the UK. The song topped at number 20 on the UK Singles Chart.

The song was a frequent concert opener and it was usually preceded by “Churchill’s speech”, a part of a famous speech that the British Prime Minister gave during World War II, on 4 June 1940, two days after the French defeat and general retreat from France’s lost battlefield with French and Belgian remaining troops gathered at Dunkerque. Despite being popular amongst fans, the song is rarely played live. It has only been played during the World Slavery Tour and The EdHuntour, Live After Death and Somewhere Back In Time World Tour. A cover version is found on the tribute album Numbers from the Beast, featuring Jeff Scott Soto on vocals, Nuno Bettencourt on guitars, Billy Sheehan on bass guitar, and Vinny Appice on drums. Although following the original schema, the song is clearly marked by Bettencourts distinctive style, and he has added variations on the original guitar patterns in several places. The song has also been covered by many artists including Children of Bodom on the Iron Maiden tribute album Tribute to the Beast and Arch Enemy on the album Wages of Sin.

Iron Maiden’s official website:
http://www.ironmaiden.com/

lyrics:
I am a man who walks alone
And when I’m walking a dark road
At night or strolling through the park

When the light begins to change
I sometimes feel a little strange
A little anxious when it’s dark

Fear of the dark, fear of the dark
I have constant fear that something’s
always near
Fear of the dark, fear of the dark
I have a phobia that someone’s
always there

Have you run your fingers down
the wall
And have 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
You’ve sensed that something’s
watching you

Have you ever been alone at night
Thought you heard footsteps behind
And turned around and no one’s there?
And as you quicken up your pace
You find it hard to look again
Because you’re sure there’s
someone there

Watching horror films the night before
Debating witches and folklores
The unknown troubles on your mind
Maybe your mind is playing tricks
You sense, and suddenly eyes fix
On dancing shadows from behind

Fear of the dark, fear of the dark
I have constant fear that something’s
always near
Fear of the dark, fear of the dark
I have a phobia that someone’s
always there

When I’m walking a dark road
I am a man who walks alone

Enjoy!

Nice song by Iron Maiden called “Alexander the Great” from Somewhere in time album. Enjoy!!!

“my son, ask for thyself another kingdom,
For that which i leave is to small for thee.”

Near to the east, in a part of ancient greece,
In an ancient land called macedonia,
Was born a son to philip of macedon,
The legend his name was alexander.

At the age of nineteen, he became the macedon king,
And swore to free all of asia minor,
By the aegian sea in 334 bc,
He utterly beat the armies of persia.

Chorus:
Alexander the great,
His name struck fear into hearts of men,
Alexander the great,
Became a legend ‘mongst mortal men.

King darius the third, defeated fled persia,
The scythians fell by the river jaxartes,
Then egypt fell to the macedon king as well,
And he founded the city called alexandria.

By the tigris river, he met king darius again,
And crushed him again in the battle of arbela,
Entering babylon and susa, treasures he found,
Took persepolis, the capital of persia.

Chorus:
Alexander the great,
His name struck fear into hearts of men,
Alexander the great,
Became a god amongst mortal men.

A phrygian king had bound a chariot yoke,
And alexander cut the “gordion knot”,
And legend said that who untied the knot,
He would become the master of asia.

Helonism he spread far and wide,
The macedonian learned mind,
Their culture was a western way of life,
He paved the way for christianity.

Marching on, marching on.

The battle weary marching side by side,
Alexander’s army line by line,
They wouldn’t follow him to india,
Tired of the combat, pain and the glory.

Chorus:
Alexander the great,
His name struck fear into hearts of men,
Alexander the great,
He died of fever in babylon.

Up the IRONS!!! Let me know what song should I upload in the same way.
