Lyrics:

I was born into a scene
of angriness and greed
of dominance and persecution

My mother was a queen
my dad I've never seen
I was never meant to be

Now I spend my time
looking all around
For a man that's nowhere
to be found
until I find him
I'm never gonna stop searching
I'm gonna find my man
gonna travel around

CHORUS
Cos I'm a wrathchild
Well I'm a wrathchild
Yeh I'm a wrathchild
Oh I'm coming to get ya
Oh yeah-eh-yeah

Some say it shouldn't matter
ain't nothing gonna alter
the course of my destination

But I know I've gotta find
some serious peace of mind
or I know I'll just go crazy

CHORUS

Written by Steve Harris.

Lyrics:

It's snowing outside the rumbling sound
of engines roar in the night,
The mission is near the condident men
are waiting to drop from the sky.

The blizzard goes on but still they must fly
No one should go where eagles dare

Bavarian alps that lay all around
they seem to stare from below,
The enemy lines a long time passed
are lying deep in the snow.

Into the night they fall through the sky
No one should fly where eagles dare.

They're closing in the fortress is near
it's standing high in the sky,
The cable car's the only way in
it's really impossible to climb.

They make their way but maybe too late
They've got to try to save the day.

The panicking cries the roaring of guns
are echoing all around the valley,
The mission complete they make to escape
away from the Eagles Nest.

They dared to go where no one would try
they chose to fly where eagles dare.

Lyrics:

The rebel of yesterday, tomorrows fool
Who are you kidding being that cool?
Trying to break away from running
with the pack
But they ain't listening so you've
gotta go back
You're a weekend warrior when
you're one of the crowd
But it's over, just look at you now...

You're not so brave the way you behave
It makes you sick gotta get out quick
It's all bravado when you're out
with your mates
It's like a different person goes through
those gates
And the game begins,
the adrenaline's high
Feel the tension maybe someone
will die...

A weekend warrior lately
A weekend warrior sometimes
A weekend warrior maybe you ain't
that way anymore

You've gotta get out gotta get away
But you're in with a clique it's not
easy to stray
You've gotta admit you're just
living a lie
It didn't take long to work out why
It's hard to say why you got involved
Just wanting to be part,
just wanting to belong...

A weekend warrior lately
A weekend warrior sometimes
A weekend warrior maybe you ain't
that way anymore

Some of the things that you've done
you feel so ashamed
After all it's only a game...isn't it?
And after all the adrenaline's gone
What you gonna do on Monday?

A weekend warrior lately
A weekend warrior sometimes
A weekend warrior maybe you ain't
that way anymore

Lyrics:

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

Rape of the mind is a social disorder
The cynics, the apathy oneupmanship order

Watching beginnings of social decay
Gloating or sneering at life's disarray
Eating away at your own self esteem
Pouncing on every word that you might be saying

Rape of the mind is a social disorder
The cynics, the apathy oneupmanship order

Superficially smiling a shake of the hand
As soon as the back is turned treachery is planned

Rape of the mind is a social disorder
The cynics, the apathy oneupmanship order

Watching beginnings of social deacy
Gloating or sneering...at life's disarray

When every good thing's laid to waste
By all the jealousy and hate
By all the acid wit and rapier lies

And every time you think you're safe
And when you go to turn away
You know they're sharpening all their paper knives

All in your mind
All in your head
Try to relate it

All in your mind
All in your head
Try to escape it

Without a conscience they destroy
And that's a thing that they enjoy
They're a sickness that's in all our minds

They want to sink the ship and leave
The way they laugh at you and me
You know it happens all the time

All in your mind
All in your head
Try to relate it

All in your mind
All in your head
Try to escape it

The rats in the cellar you know who you are...
Or do you?

Watching beginnings of social decay...

Lyrics:

She lays in bed at night and that is when I make my call.
But when she stares at me, she can't see nothing at all,
Because, you see, I can't take no shape or form.
It's been three long years since I've been gone.

I can't get used to purgatory, you know it really makes me cry.
I'll never know the reason why I had to go.
Oh, oh, oh, I'm crying,
Oh, oh, oh, deep inside of me.
Oh, oh, oh, can't you see me?
Ah, ah, ah, can't you see me?

I'm looking forward to her spirit coming over to me.
I feel tempted to bring her over to see just what it's
Like to be hanging on the other side.
I feel so lonely, it's been a long time since I died.

I try to show her that she's never gonna be alone,
Because my spirit is imprisoned in the twilight zone.
Oh, oh, oh, I'm crying,
Oh, oh, oh, deep inside of me.
Oh, oh, oh, can't you see me?
Ah, ah, ah, can't you see me?

Lyrics:

Cold as steel the darkness waits, its hour will come
A cry of fear for the chosen worshipping the sun
Mother natures black revenge on those who waste her life
War babies in the garden of Eden shall turn our ashes to ice

Sunrise is gone, freezing up the fires
Sunrise is gone, numbing all desires
Sunrise is gone, Sunrise is gone

Around the world the people stop with terror-sticken eyes
A shadow cast upon them all to crush them like a fly
In the icy rain and whiplashed seas there's nowhere left to run
The hammer blows of winter fall like a hurricane

Sunrise is gone, freezing up the fires
Sunrise is gone, numbing all desires

Around the world the nations wait
for some wise words 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

Gone are the days when man looked down
They've taken away his sacred crown
To be so free, it took so long
It's not the journeys end, it's just begun

Lyrics:

When you start to take a look within
Do you feel at ease with what you see
Do you think you can have peace of mind
And have self-belief or be satisfied

Do you think you even like yourself
Or really think you could be someone else
Is there something that you'd rather be
Never thought you'd be, had the chance to see

All my life I've run away
All my life I've tried to hide away

Feel the paranoia creeping in
Like a cancer eating at your skin
Do you feel you've lost your self esteem
And your self-respect, what can you expect

All my life I've run away
All my life I've tried to hide away

All my life...I've run away
Let my faith...slip away
All my life..I've run astray
Allowed my faith...to drift away

Are you scared to look inside your mind
Are you worried just at what you'll find
Do you really want to face the truth
Does it matter now, what have you got to lose

Try release the anger from within
Forgive yourself a few immortal sins
Do you really care what people think
Are you strong enough to release the guilt

All my life I've run away
All my life I've tried to hide away

All my life...I've run away
Let my faith...slip away
All my life..I've run astray
Allowed my faith...to drift away

The Trooper

The Trooper
Steve Harris
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.
The horse he sweats with fear we break to run
The mighty roar of the Russian guns
And as we race towards 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.
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

THE IRON MAIDEN - BARCLAY JAMES HARVEST

Bm A G F#m
She walks on through the night

D G
Her circumstances slight

G/F# Em F#m Bm
Are only helping her to fail

Bm A G F#m
And though she feels she's right,

D G
She tries with all her might

G/F# Em F#m Bm
And makes the deepest peril pale.

G A D A
Ch: Oh but she is unreal

G A D A
Oh but she doesn't feel

G F#m Bm Em F#m Bm
Oh but she is unreal.

Bm A G F#m
She chooses who to love

D G
And then unlike a dove

G/F# Em F#m Bm
She takes the laughter from their smiles

Bm A G F#m
She wears a velvet glove

D G
Her friends may find it rough

G/F# Em F#m Bm
It is a gauntlet all the while.

G A D A
Ch: Oh but she is unreal

G A D A
Oh but she doesn't feel

G F#m Bm Em F#m Bm
Oh but she is unreal.

Lyrics:
Silenty to silence fall
In the fields of futile war
Toys of death are spitting lead
Where boys that were our soldiers bled
War horse and war machin
Curse the name of liberty
Marching on as if they should
Mix in the dirt our brothers' blood

Chorus:
In the mud and rain
Whar are we fighting for
Is it worth the pain
Is it worth dying for
Who will take the blame
Why did they make a war
Questions that come again
Should we be fighting at all

Once a ploughman hitched his team
Here he sowed his little dream
Now bodies arms and legs are strewn
Where mustard gas and barbwire bloom
Each moment's like a year
I've nothing left inside for tears
Comrades dead or lying lie
I'm left alone asking why

After the war
Left feeling no one has won
After the war
What does a soldier become

I'm just a soldier............

Lyrics:

You killed your first man at 13,
Killer instinct, animal supreme,
By 16 you had learned to fight
The way of the warrior, you took it as your right.

Chorus:
Sunlight, falling on your steel,
Death in life is your ideal,
Life is like a wheel, rolling on and on

Through earth and water, fire and wind,
You came at last-nothing was the end,
Make a cut by fire and stones,
Take you and your blade and brake you both
in two-break you both in twox

Lyrics:

Was many years ago that I left home and came this way
I was a young man, full of hopes and dreams
But now it seems that all is lost and nothing gained
Someimes things ain't what they seem

No brave new world, no brave new world
No brave new world, no brave new world

Night and day I scan horizon, sea and sky
My spirit wanders endlessly
until the day will dawn and friends from home discover why
Hear me calling, rescue me

Set me free, set me free
Lost in this place, and leave no trace

Stranger in a strange land
Land of ice and snow
Trapped inside this prison
Lost and far from home

One hundred years have gone and men again they came that way
To find the answer to the mystery
They found his body where it fell that day
Preserved in time for all to see

No brave new world, no brave new world
Lost in this place, to leave no trace

What became of the man that started
All are gone and souls departed
Left me here in this prison
So all alone

Stranger in a strange land
Land of ice and snow
Trapped inside this prison
Lost and far from home

What became of the man that started
All are gone and souls departed
Left me here in this prison
So all alone

Stranger in a strange land
Land of ice and snow
Trapped inside this prison
Lost and far from home

Strange World

IRON MAIDEN Strange World
from the album Iron Maiden (1980)

Em G
The only place where you can dream,
D C
Liven here is not what it seems.
Em G
Ship of white, light in the sky,
D C
Nobody there to reason why.
Em G
Here I am, I'm not really there,
D C
Smiling faces ever so rare.
Em G
A let's walk in deepest space,
D C
Living here, just isn't the place.

Em G
Stalk of light come from the ground,
D C
When I cry there isn't a sound.
Em G
All my feelings cannot be held,
D C
I'm happy in my new strange world.
Em G
Shades of green, grasses twine,
D C
Girls drinking plasma wine.
Em G
A look at love, a dream enfolds,
D C Em
Liven here you'll never grow old.

Don't you hear me call?

Still Life

"Quiet" bit with "Take a Look..."
I'll try and show the basic idea. Finger the open Am and try to
follow the melody by lifting your finger on 2nd string. Then pick
the Fmaj7 chord anyway you want.

Main Verse Riff:
Similar idea to the previous part except you follow the melody
on the 3rd string. When muting the strings and strumming between
the parts shown lift your 3rd or 4th finger off the 3rd string,
i.e. don't hold the melody notes down,just keep the A power chord
fingered. Play the extended notes with upstrokes to emphasise the
melody.

SOLO'S:
Transcribing solo's is not my strong point but you should the
main ideas from the following. These are the album solo's.
Some of fast licks, especially Dave's are more approximations
than anything else.
