There goes the siren that warns of the air raid Then comes the sound of the guns sending flak Out for the scramble we've got to get airborne Got to get up for the coming attack.
Jump in the cockpit and start up the engines Remove all the wheelblocks there's no time to waste Gathering speed as we head down the runway Gotta get airborne before it's too late.
Running, scrambling, flying Rolling, turning, diving, going in again Run, live to fly, fly to live, do or die Run, live to fly, fly to live. Aces high.
Move in to fire at the mainstream of bombers Let off a sharp burst and then turn away Roll over, spin round and come in behind them Move to their blindsides and firing again.
Bandits at 8 O'clock move in behind us Ten ME-109's out of the sun Ascending and turning our spitfires to face them Heading straight for them I press down my guns
Rolling, turning, diving Rolling, turning, diving, going in again Run, live to fly, fly to live, do or die Run, live to fly, fly to live, Aces high.
Kill for gain or shoot to maim, but we don't need a reason The Golden Goose is on the loose and never out of season Blackened pride still burns inside this shell of bloody treason Here's my gun for a barrel of fun for the love of living death
The killer's breed or the demon's seed The glamour, the fortune, the pain Go to war again, blood is freedom's stain But don't you pray for my soul anymore 2 minutes to midnight, the hands that threaten doom 2 minutes to midnight, to kill the unborn in the womb
The blind men shout let the creatures out, we'll show the unbelievers The napalm screams of human flames, of a prime time Belsen feast...YEAH! As the reasons for the carnage cut their meat and lick the gravy We oil the jaws of the war machine and feed it with our babies
The killer's breed or the demon's seed The glamour, the fortune, the pain Go to war again, blood is freedom's stain But don't you pray for my soul anymore 2 minutes to midnight, the hands that threaten doom 2 minutes to midnight, to kill the unborn in the womb
(2:45-Solo: Dave Murray) (3:06-Solo: Adrian Smith)
The body bags and little rags of children torn in two And the jellied brains of those who remain to put the finger right on you As the madmen play on words and make us all dance to their song To the tune of starving millions, to make a better kind of gun
The killer's breed or the demon's seed The glamour, the fortune, the pain Go to war again, blood is freedom's stain But don't you pray for my soul anymore 2 minutes to midnight, the hands that threaten doom 2 minutes to midnight, to kill the unborn in the womb
Midnight...midnight....it's all night Midnight...midnight....all night!
Love is a razor and I walked the line on that silver blade Slept in the dust with his daughter, her eyes red with the slaughter of innocence But I will pray for her, I will call her name out loud I would bleed for her, if I could only see her now Living on a razor's edge, balancing on a ledge Living on a razor's edge, balancing on a ledge Balancing on a ledge, living on a razor's edge Balancing on a ledge, you know, you know
The evil that men do lives on and on The evil that men do lives on and on The evil that men do lives on and on The evil that men do lives on and on
Circle of fire my baptism of joy at an end it seems The seventh lamb slain, the book of life opens before me And I will pray for you, someday I may return Don't you cry for me, beyond is where I learn
Living on a razor's edge, balancing on a ledge Living on a razor's edge, you know, you know
The evil that men do lives on and on The evil that men do lives on and on The evil that men do lives on and on The evil that men do lives on and on
(3:15-Solo: Adrian Smith) Living on a razor's edge, balancing on a ledge Living on a razor's edge, you know, you know
The evil that men do lives on and on The evil that men do lives on and on The evil that men do lives on and on The evil that men do lives on and on The evil, the evil, the evil that men do The evil, the evil, the evil that men do
You'll take my life but I'll take yours too, you'll fire your musket but I'll run you through So when you're waiting for the next attack, you'd better stand there's no turning back The bugle sounds and the charge begins, but on this battlefield no one wins The smell of acrid smoke and horses breath, as I plunge on into certain death
Ooooooooh! Ooooooooh! The horse he sweats with fear we break to run, the mighty roar of the Russian guns And as we race toward the human wall, the screams of pain as my comrades fall We hurdle bodies that lay on the ground, and the Russians fire another round We get so near yet so far away, we won't live to fight another day
Ooooooooh! Ooooooooh! (2:11-Solo: Adrian Smith) (2:35-Solo: Dave Murray)
We get so close near enough to fight, when a Russian gets me in his sights He pulls the trigger and I feel the blow, a burst of rounds take my horse below And as I lay there gazing at the sky, my body's numb and my throat is dry And as I lay forgotten and alone, without a tear I draw my parting groan
Pay to kill, die to lose, hunted, hunter which are you Diablo come again to make trophies out of men Lose your skin, lose your skull, one by one the sack is full In the heat dehydrate, know which breath will be your last
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide, you've got to kill to stay alive Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide, you've got to kill to stay alive
Show them no fear, show them no pain Show them no fear, show them no pain Show them no fear, show them no pain Show them no fear, show them no pain
Human heart, human mind, intellect intertwined Focus sharp in the night, watch the jungle burning bright Toe to toe throw the line, everyone's caught hand tied Iron will iron fist, how could it have come to this?
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide, you've got to kill to stay live Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide, you've got to kill to stay alive
Show them no fear, show them no pain Show them no fear, show them no pain Show them no fear, show them no pain Show them no fear, show them no pain
(3:02-Solo: Dave Murray) (3:20-Solo: Adrian Smith)
Show them no fear, show them no pain Show them no fear, show them no pain Show them no fear, show them no pain
White Man came across the sea, He brought us pain and misery. He killed our tribe, he 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 to much for Cree, Oh will we ever be set free?
Riding through dust clouds and barren wastes, Galloping hard on the plains. Chasing the Redskins back to their holes, Fighting them at their own game. Murder for freedom, 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's the game. Raping the women and wasting the men, The only good Injuns are tame. Selling them whiskey and taking their gold, Enslaving the young and destroying the old!
Run to the hills, run for your lives! Run to the hills, run for your lives! (2:12-Solo: Dave Murray)
Run to the hills; Run for your lives! Run to the hills; Run for your lives!
And if you're taking a walk through the garden of life What do you think you'd expect you would see? Just like a mirror reflecting the moves of your life And in the river reflections of me
Just for a second a glimpse of my father I see And in a movement he beckons to me And in a moment the memories are all that remain And all the wounds are reopening again
And as you look all around at the world in dismay What do you see, do you think we have learned Not if you're taking a look at the war-torn affray Out in the streets where the babies are burned
There are time when I feel I'm afraid for the world There are times I'm ashamed of us all When you're floating on all the emotion you feel And reflecting the good and the bad
Will we ever know what the answer to life really is? Can you really tell me what life is? Maybe all the things that you know that are precious to you Could be swept away by fate's own hand
When you think that we've used all our chances And the chance to make everything right Keep on making the same old mistakes Makes untipping the balance so easy When we're living our lives on the edge Say a prayer on the book of the dead
Dying swans twisted wings, beauty not needed here Lost my love, lost my life, in this garden of fear I have seen many things, in a lifetime alone Mother love is no more, bring this savage back home
Wilderness house of pain, makes no sense of it all Close this mind dull this brain, Messiah before his fall What you see is not real, those who know will not tell All is lost sold your souls to this brave new world
A brave new world, in a brave new world A brave new world, in a brave new world In a brave new world, a brave new world In a brave new world, a brave new world
Dragon kings dying queens, where is salvation now Lost my life lost my dreams, rip the bones from my flesh Silent screams laughing here, dying to tell you the truth You are planned and you are damned in this brave new world
A brave new world, in a brave new world A brave new world, in a brave new world In a brave new world, a brave new world In a brave new world, a brave new world
A brave new world, in a brave new world A brave new world, in a brave new world In a brave new world, a brave new world In a brave new world, a brave new world
Dying swans twisted wings, bring this savage back home
Have you ever felt the future is the past, but you don't know how...? A reflected dream of a captured time, is it really now, is it really happening?
Don't know why I feel this way, have I dreamt this time, this place? Something vivid comes again into my mind And I think I've seen your face, seen this room, been in this place Something vivid comes again into my mind
All my hopes and expectations, looking for an explanation Have I found my destination? I just can't take no more
The dream is true, the dream is true The dream is true, the dream is true
Think I've heard your voice before, think I've said these words before Something makes me feel I just might lose my mind Am I still inside my dream? Is this a new reality Something makes me feel that I have lost my mind
All my hopes and expectations, looking for an explanation Coming to the realization that I can't see for sure
I only dream in black and white, I only dream cause I'm alive I only dream in black and white, to save me from myself I only dream in black and white, I only dream cause I'm alive I only dream in black and white, please save me from myself
The dream is true, the dream is true The dream is true, the dream is true
I get up put on the light, dreading the oncoming night Scared to fall asleep and dream the dream again Nothing that I contemplate, nothing that I can compare To letting loose the demons deep inside my head
Dread to think what might be stirring, that my dream is reoccurring Got to keep away from drifting, saving me from myself
I only dream in black and white, I only dream cause I'm alive I only dream in black and white, to save me from myself I only dream in black and white, I only dream cause I'm alive I only dream in black and white, to save me from myself
Lost in a dream of mirrors, lost in a paradox Lost and time is spinning, lost a nightmare I retrace Lost a hell that I revisit, lost another time and place Lost a parallel existence, lost a nightmare I retrace
I only dream in black and white, I only dream cause I'm alive I only dream in black and white, to save me from myself I only dream in black and white, I only dream cause I'm alive I only dream in black and white, to save me from myself
I only dream in black and white, I only dream cause I'm alive I only dream in black and white, to save me from myself I only dream in black and white, I only dream cause I'm alive I only dream in black and white, to save me from myself
The dream is true, the dream is true The dream is true, the dream is true
