Seventh Son of a Seventh Son

Feel the sweat break on my brow
Steve Harris
Is it me or is ir the shadows that are dancing on the walls

Is this a dream or is it now
Feel the sweat break on my brow
Is this a vision or normality I see before my eyes
Is it me or is it shadows that are

Dancing on the walls
I wonder why I wonder how
Is this a dream or is it now
That it seems the power's getting stronger every day
Is this a vision or normality I see
I feel a strength an inner fire
Before my eyes
But I'm scared I won't be able to control it anymore


I wonder why I wonder how
There's a time to live and a time to die
That it seems the powers getting stronger
When it's time to meet the maker
Every day
There's a time to live but isn't it strange
I feel a strength an inner fire
That as soon as you're born you're dying
But I'm scared I won't be able to control it anymore


Just by looking through your eyes
There's a time to live and a time to die
He could see the future penetrating
When it's time to meet the maker
right in through your mind
There's a time to live but isn't it strange
See the truth and see your lies
That as soon as you're born you're dying
But for all his power couldn't foresee his own demise


Just by looking through your eyes
There's a time to live and a time to die
He could see the future penetrating right
When it's time to meet the maker
In through your mind
There's a time to live but isn't it strange
See the truth and see your lies
That as soon as you're born you're dying...
But for all his power couldn't foresee his own demise
... and reborn again??

There's a time to live and a time to die
When it's time to meet the maker
There's a time to live but isn't it strange
That as soon as you're born you're dying...
... and reborn again?

At a point below zero
There's no place left to go
Six hundred unknown heroes
Were killed like sleeping buffalo

Through the devil's canyon
Across the battlefield
Death has no companion
The spirit is forced to yield

There goes the bandolero
Through the hole in the wall
He's a coward but doesn't care though
In fact he doesn't care at all

The general that's commanding
He's defending what he fears
While the troops they are depending
On reinforcements from the rear

If God is in the heavens
How can this happen here
In His name they used the weapons
For the massacre

There is a point below zero
Where the sun can see the land
Six hundred unknown heroes
Lay dead in the sand

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
I only I could see her now

Living on a razors edge
Balancing on a ledge
Living on a razors edge

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 and at an end it seems
The seventh lamb slain
The book of life opens before me
But I will pray for you
And some day I may return
I would die for you
Beyond is where I learn

Dave Murray, Steve Harris

Take a look in the pool and what do you see
In the dark depths there faces beckoning me
Can't you see them it's plain for all to see
They were there oh I know you don't believe me.

Oh...I've never felt so strange
But...I'm not going insane.

I've no doubt that you think I'm off my head
You don't say but it's in your eyes instead
Hours I spend out just gazing into that pool
Something draws me there I don't know what to do.

Oh...they drain my strength away
Oh...they're asking me to stay.

Nightmares...spirits calling me
Nightmares...they won't leave me be.

All my life's blood is slowly draining away
And I feel that I'm weaker every day
Somehow I know I haven't long to go
Joining them at the bottom of the pool.

Now...I feel they are so near
I...begin to see them clear

Nightmares...coming all the time
Nightmares...Will give me peace of mind.

Now it's clear and I know what I have to do
I must take you down there to look at them too
Hand in hand then we'll jump right into the pool
Can't you see not just me they want you too.

Oh...we'll drown together
It...will be forever.

Nightmares...forever calling me
Nightmares...Now we rest in peace.

Paul Di'Anno, Steve Harris

You walk through the subway, his eyes burn a hole in your back,
A footstep behind you, he lunges prepared for attack.
Scream for mercy, he laughs as he's watching you bleed,
Killer behind you, his blood lust defies all his needs.

My innocent victims are slaughtered with wrath and despise,
The mocking religion of hatred that burns in the night.
I have no one, I'm bound to destroy all this greed,
A voice inside me compelling to satisfy me.

I can see what a knife's meant to be,
And you'll never know how I came to forsee, see, see.

My faith in believing is stronger than lifelines and ties,
With the glimmer of metal my moment is ready to strike.

Death call arises, a scream breaks the still of the night,
Another tomorrow, remember to walk in the light!
I have found you, and now there is no place to run,
Excitement shakes me, oh God help me what have I done?!
Oooh yeah, I've done it!
YEEEEAAAAAAAAHHHH!

You walk through the subway, my eyes burn a hole in your back,
A footstep behind you, he lunges prepared for attack.
Scream for mercy, he laughs as he's watching you bleed,
Killer behind you, my blood lust defies all my needs.
Oooh look out, I'm coming for you!
Ahahahaha!

Infinite dreams I'can't deny them
Infinity is hard to comprehend
I couldn't hear those screams
Even in my wildest dreams

Suffocation waking in a sweat
Scared to fall asleep again
Incase the dream begins again
Someone chasing I cannot move
Standing rigid a nightmare's statue
What a dream when will it end
And will I trancend?

Restless sleep the minds in turmoil
One nightmare ends another fertile
It`s getting me so scared to sleep
But scared to wake now, in to deep

Even though its reached new heights
I rather like the restless nights
It makes me wonder it makes me think
There's more to this I'm on the brink
It's not the fear of what's beyond
It's just that I might not respond
I have an interest almost craving
But would I like to get too far in?

It can't be all coincedence
Too many things are evident
You tell me you're an unbeliever
Spirtualist? Well me I'm neither
But wouln't you like to know the thruth
Of what's out there to have the proof
And find out just which side you're on
Where would you end, in Heaven or in Hell

Help me help me to find my true
Self without seeing the future
Save me save me from myself
Even within my dreams

There's got to be just more to it than this
Or tell me why do we exist
I'd like to think that when I die
I'd get a chance some other time
And to return and live again
Reincarnate play the game
Again and again and again

Dave Murray

Giving a swish with your arse in the air, don't you know what they're saying?
Charlotte you're so refined when you take all the love that they're giving.
Sticking with every man that you find, don't you know what they're after?
Charlotte you've got your legs in the air, don't you hear all the laughter?

*Chorus*:
Charlotte the Harlot show me your legs,
Charlotte the Harlot take me to bed.
Charlotte the Harlot let me see blood,
Charlotte the Harlot let me see love.

Taking so many men to your room, don't you feel no remorse?
You charge them a "fiver", It's only for starters.
And ten for the main course.
And you've got no feelings, they died long ago.
Don't you care who you let in?
And don't you know you're breaking the law with the service you're giving.

*Chorus*

There was a time when you left me standing there,
Picking up pieces of love off the floor.
Well Charlotte you left me alone in there,
To make your ends as a bloody whore.
Well Charlotte you told me you love me true,
Picking up pieces of love yesterday.
Well Charlotte you're draws are off color too
'Cause you're making love all day.

Giving a swish with your arse in the air, don't you know what they're saying?
Charlotte you're so refined when you take all the love that they're giving.
Sticking with every man that you find, don't you know what they're after?
Charlotte you've got your legs in the air, don't you hear all the laughter?

*Chorus*

Give me the sense to wonder
To wonder if I'm free
Give me a sense of wonder
To know I can be me
Give me the strength to hold my head up
Spit back in their face
Don't need no key to unlock this door
Gonna break down the walls
Break out of this bad place

Can I play with madness
the prophet stared at his crystal ball
Can I play with madness
there's no vision there at all
Can I play with madness
the prophet looked and he laughed at me
Can I play with madness
he said you're blind too blind to see

I screamed aloud to the old man
I said don't lie don't say you don't know
I say you pay for your mischief
In this world or the next
Oh and then he fixed me with a freezing glance
And the hellfires raged in his eyes
He said do you wanna know the truth son
I'll tell you the truth
Your soul's gonna burn in a lake of fire

Can I play with madness
the prophet stared at his crystal ball
Can I play with madness
there's no vision there at all
Can I play with madness
the prophet looked and he laughed at me
Can I play with madness
he said you're blind too blind to see

Can I play with madness
the prophet stared at his crystal ball
Can I play with madness
there's no vision there at all
Can I play with madness
the prophet looked and he laughed at me
Can I play with madness
he said you're blind too blind to see
