Trumpets
of Jericho
(Bruce
Dickinson / Roy Z.)
This is the maze of
life
This is the maze of death
This is the matrix of eternity
The demon never
sleeps
The demon never lies
He beats my heart and leaves no echo
What heavy burden
holds me back
Every step along the track?
Fear that reaches deep inside of me
At the trumpets of
Jericho
Still the walls remain
At the trumpets of Jericho
Avalon's in chains
This is the river
of space
This is the river of time
Chase the dragons of infinity
Atlas stands and
laughs
Throws his burden down
Rolls the earth in the inferno
Fingers holding
onto cracks
The howling wind that blows us back
Sucked into the grinding wheels of
hell
At the trumpets of
Jericho
Still the walls remain
Blow the trumpets of Jericho
Still the walls remain
At the end of the rainbow
There the grail remains
Sound the trumpets of Jericho
Avalon's in chains
As they drag you
down
In your clothes of lead
See the golden light
Flashing overhead
Mocking you
Do you know who you
are
In your robes of skin?
How many creatures live inside you?
Man is born forever
free
But is everywhere in chains
Trapped inside this earthly prison
cell
At the trumpets of
Jericho
Still the walls remain
At the trumpets of Jericho
Avalon's in chains
At the trumpets of Jericho
There the grail remains
At the trumpets of Jericho
Still the walls remain
Still the walls remain
Still the walls remain
Still the walls remain
The silence of the tomb
The wheel of fortune round
King
in Crimson
(Bruce
Dickinson / Roy Z.)
In the darkness,
the raven's head
In the courtyard clothed in fear
I see gates that are opening
Theres only one way out of here
Daylight has come
The night has come
See his twisted
sons and daughters
Writhing slowly in Satan's mire
If you only could see the visions
The trembling world I now despise
As the veil reveals
the outer darkness
I am sucked into the walls of flame
Arise, awake
The King in Crimson comes
Arise awake
The King in Crimson, crimson comes
He knows the
weakness that you can't fight
The stone of night that weighs you
down
If only you could see the visions
His hand is death if you take it now
As you scream into
the web of silence
There is nothing that can save you
now
Arise, awake
The King in Crimson comes
Arise, awake
The King in Crimson comes
Arise, awake
The King in Crimson comes
Arise, awake
The King in Crimson, crimson comes
As you scream into
the web of silence
There is nothing that can save you
now
Arise, awake
The King in Crimson comes
Arise, awake
The King in Crimson comes
Arise, awake
The King in Crimson, crimson comes
To your window he
comes
At your window I come
Chemical Wedding
(Bruce
Dickinson / Roy Z.)
How happy is the
human soul
Not enslaved by dull control
Left to dream and roam and play
Shed the guilt of former days
Walking on the
foggy shore
Watch the waves come rolling home
Through the veil of pale moonlight
My shadow stretches out its hand
And so we lay, we
lay in the same grave
Our chemical wedding day
And so we lay, we lay in the same
grave
Our chemical wedding day
Floating in the
endless blue
My seed of doubt I leave to you
Let it wither on the ground
Treat it like a plague you found
All my dreams that
were outside
In living colour, now alive
And all the lighthouses
Their beams converge to guide me home
And so we lay, we
lay in the same grave
Our chemical wedding day
And so we lay, we lay in the same
grave
Our chemical wedding day
And so we lay, we lay in the same
grave
Our chemical wedding day
And so we lay, we lay in the same
grave
Our chemical wedding day
And so we lay, we lay in the same
grave
Our chemical wedding day
And so we lay, we lay in the same
grave
Our Chemical wedding day
Gates of Urizen
(Bruce
Dickinson / Roy Z.)
As above, so below
All things come from the one
Now you are the victim
Carried by the wind, rooted in the
ground
If you want to
learn the secrets
Close your eyes
The ladder falls away
At the gates of
Urizen
Fallen eagles blaze
At the gates of Urizen
Eternal twins are damned
At the gates of Urizen
Separate lives begin
In every woman is a
man
From the moon come silver ghosts
Spectres of the blood
From my spirit comes the darkness
From the void, the crimson fortress
rises
At the gates of
Urizen
The ladder falls away
At the gates of Urizen
Fallen eagles blaze
At the gates of Urizen
Eternal twins are damned
At the gates of Urizen
Separate lives begin
At the gates of
Urizen
The ladder falls away
At the gates of
Urizen
Fallen eagles blaze
At the gates of Urizen
Eternal twins are damned
At the gates of Urizen
Separate lives begin
At the gates of Urizen
The gates of Urizen
The gates of Urizen
At the gates...
Killing Floor
(Bruce
Dickinson / Adrian Smith)
So this is
dreamtime, and all is quiet
So this is dreamtime, and all is
night
You've never been held by the hand of
God
Who's rocking the cradle, if he is
not?
He turned the oil
into his blood
Panzer divisions burning in the mud
The stain of freedom, he's washed it
out
Who's rocking the cradle, I have no
doubt
Sleeping eyes awake
To see his hooded gaze
Whispers on the wind
The darker side of ecstasy
Satan has left his
killing floor
Satan has left his killing floor
Satan, his fires burn no more
Satan has left his killing floor
So now it's
dreamtime for you tonight
So now it's dreamtime, and all is
quiet
You've never been held by the hand of
god
Who's rocking your cradle, if he is
not?
Sleeping eyes awake
To see his hooded gaze
Whispers on the wind
The never-ending breath goodbye
Satan has left his
killing floor
Satan has left his killing floor
Satan, his fires burn no more
Satan is coming back for more
Satan has left
his killing floor
Satan has left his killing floor
Book
of Thel
(Bruce
Dickinson / Roy Z. / Eddie Casillas)
The mark is on you
now
The furnace sealed inside your head
Melting from the inside now
Waxy tears run down your face
The whore that
never told her tale
Relives it every night with you
Far off stands the lamb and waits
For the wolf to come and end its life
Stand inside the
temple
As the book of Thel is opening
The priestess stands before you
Offering her hand out, she's rising
Come the dawning of
the dead
In famine and in war
Now the harlot womb of death
Spits out its rotten core
Serpent on the
altar now
Has wrapped itself around your spine
So you look into its mouth
And you kiss the pearly fangs divine
Happy that your end
is swift
The weeping virgin cries in bliss
The snake and priestess, they are one
The veil of flesh is ripped undone
Stand inside the
temple
As the book of Thel is opening
The priestess stands before you
Offering her hand out, she's rising
Come the dawning of
the dead
In famine and in war
Now the harlot womb of death
Spits out its rotten core
By the pricking of
my thumbs
Something wicked this way comes
And when sleep takes you tonight
Will you wake to see the light?
The burning sweat
of poison tears
The river flowing red with blood
The cradle-robbing hand of death
Caresses every dreaming head
Waiting for the
marriage hearse
To take you to the funeral pyre
So you burn the family tree
The generations burning higher
Stand inside the
temple
As the book of Thel is opening
The priestess stands before you
Offering her hand out, she's rising
Come the dawning of
the dead
In famine and in war
Now the harlot womb of death
Spits out its rotten core
By the pricking of
my thumbs
Something wicked this way comes
And when sleep takes you tonight
Will you wake to see the light
By the dawning of
the dead
By the dawning of the dead
By the dawning of the dead
By the dawning of the dead
Tears
of the Dragon
(Bruce
Dickinson)
For
too long now, there were secrets in
my mind
For too long now, there were things I
should have said
In the darkness, I was stumbling for
the door
To find a reason, to find the time,
the place, the hour
Waiting
for the winter sun, and the cold
light of day
The misty ghosts of childhood fears
The pressure is building, and I can't
stay away
I
throw myself into the sea
Release the wave, let it wash over me
To face the fear I once believed
The tears of the dragon, for you and
for me
Where
I was, I had wings that couldn't fly
Where I was, I had tears I couldn't
cry
My emotions frozen in an icy lake
I couldn't feel them until the ice
began to break
I
have no power over this, you know I'm
afraid
The walls I built are crumbling
The water is moving, I'm slipping
away
I
throw myself into the sea
Release the wave, let it wash over me
To face the fear I once believed
The tears of the dragon, for you and
for me
Slowly
I awake, slowly I rise
The walls I built are crumbling
The water is moving, I'm slipping
away
I
throw myself into the sea
Release the wave, let it wash over me
To face the fear I once believed
The tears of the dragon, for you and
for me
I
throw myself into the sea
Release the wave, let it wash over me
To face the fear I once believed
The tears of the dragon, for you and
for me
Laughing
in the Hiding Bush
(Bruce
Dickinson / Roy Z. / Austin Dickinson)
There's
a sinister game the children play
When they get to the end of each
school day
They spend their lives getting ready
for the kill
Laughing
in the hiding bush, the joker is back
Laughing
in the hiding bush, the joker is back
Who
remembers the names of fallen heroes?
Who remembers today to fly their
flags?
I couldn't say I loved you like I did
before
Laughing
in the hiding bush, the joker is back
Laughing
in the hiding bush, it's a laughing
attack
The joker is back, he's wild in the
pack, the joker is back
Laughing in the hiding bush, the
joker is back
Laughing
in the hiding bush, the joker is back
Laughing
in the hiding bush, he's wild in the
pack
Laughing in the hiding bush, the
joker is back
Accident of Birth
(Bruce
Dickinson / Roy Z.)
Journey back to the
dark side, back into the womb
Back to where the spirits move like
vapor from the tomb
The center of the cyclone, blowing
out the sun
Break the shackles of your union to
the light
I mightve had a brother
As I was born, they dragged him under
To the other side of twilight
Hes waiting for me now
Nativity was lost on me
I didnt ask, I couldnt
see
What created me?
What and where and how?
Welcome home, its
been too long, we've missed you
Welcome home, weve opened up
the gates
Welcome home, to your brothers and
sisters
Welcome home, to an accident of birth
Feel our bodies breathing as you try
to stop believing
Theres nothing you can do about
your shadows
You can fight us, you are like us
And your body will betray you
Lay down and die like all the others
Where are the angels and their wings
of freedom?
Jesus had his day off when they
pulled you through
Welcome home, its
been too long, we've missed you
Welcome home, weve opened up
the gates
Welcome home, to your brothers and
sisters
Welcome home, to an accident of birth
Visions growing dim as the
daylight fades away
A spinning, twisting black hole, its
your dying day
Welcome home, its
been too long, we've missed you
Welcome home, weve opened up
the gates
Welcome home, to your brothers and
sisters
Welcome home, to an accident of birth
The
Tower
(Bruce
Dickinson / Roy Z.)
There are twelve
commandments
There are twelve divisions
Twelve are the pagans who have mapped
the sky
In the outer circle
To the inner sanctum
From the octave at the end of time
The fountain, the
trinity
The pilgrim is searching for blood
To look for his own free will
The stone of infinity, washed in the
flood
Lovers in the tower
The moon and sun divided
And the hanged man smiles
Lovers in the tower
The moon and sun divided
Let the fool decide
In the atom circle
Where we break the stars
Hammer into anvil, stuffing out the
sun
Witness all the
killing
See the birth of Mars
Our religion thrown into the fire
The fountain, the
trinity
The pilgrim is searching for blood
To look for his own free will
The stone of infinity, washed in the
flood
Lovers in the tower
The moon and sun divided
The hanged man smiles
Lovers in the tower
The moon and sun divided
The magician laughs
Lovers in the tower
The moon and sun divided
And the priestess kneels
Lovers in the tower
The moon and sun divided
Let the fool decide
Lovers in the tower
The moon and sun divided
And the hanged man smiles
Lovers in the tower
The moon and sun divided
Let the fool decide
Lovers in the tower
The moon and sun divided
The priestess kneels to receive
Lovers in the tower
The moon and sun divided
The magician laughs
Darkside of Aquarius
(Bruce
Dickinson / Roy Z.)
The first hellrider
came
On wings of plenty in the dark
Poured out his poison
And he blew away his mark
The fascist from the east is coming
Mothers, hide your sons
The second
hellrider came
From flaming seas and molten sands
Pipers playing Hells commands
Poured out his poison
With his promises of promised lands
Blackened tongues of lying leaders
Here come the
riders as the wheel of Dharmas
running out of time
Here come the riders as the wheel of
Dharmas running out of time
The third hellrider
came
Teaching brothers to kill brother men
And the fourth hellrider waits
On an acid trip for an acid world
Wars of old religious fools and
superstitious men
Throw some scary Tarot cards
Here come the
riders, as the wheel of Dharmas
running out of time
Here come the riders, as the
revolution's stepping into line
The darkside of Aquarius has robbed
us of our souls and minds
Here come the riders, as the wheel of
Dharma's running out of time
From the starlit
sky, on a silver sea
A lonely silver surfer comes to push
the wheel for me
Gotta move, gotta
move, gotta push that wheel right
around
Gotta move, gotta move, gotta push
that wheel right around
Push the wheel of
Dharma
Push the wheel of Dharma
Gotta move the
wheel of Dharma
Gotta move the wheel of Dharma
Road
to Hell
(Bruce
Dickinson / Adrian Smith)
Slowly bleeding,
watch the vortex feeding
Like a swirling vulture on your face
Every hour the
unseen rays devour
Your screaming eyes cry out but they
are blind
Father, forgive me
my sins
Give me the nails, Ill hammer
them in
The road to hell is
full of good intentions
Say farewell, we may never meet again
The road to hell is full of good
intentions
Down the left-hand highway with no
sinister regrets
Brave new world of
secret fantasy
That hovers just beyond your bloody
grasp
Close enough to thrill, the danger of
the kill
Price for failure of your will
Father, forgive us
our sins
Cause were all the junkies who
never can win
The road to hell is
full of good intentions
Say farewell, we may never meet again
The road to hell is full of good
intentions
Down the left-hand highway with no
sinister regrets
Father, forgive me
my sins
Give me the nails, Ill hammer
them in
The road to hell is full of good
intentions
Parody of hope is the one that I must
kill
We all have to live with our family
inventions
Down the left-hand highway with no
sinister regrets
The road to hell is full of good
intentions
Say farewell, we may never meet again
The road to hell is full of good
intentions
Down the left-hand highway with no
sinister regrets
