This new Maiden Best Of compilation follows 2008’s Some-where Back In Time album which covered seven studio albumsfrom 1980 to 1989. From Fear to Eternity focuseson a longer period of the band’s history, covering eight albumsfrom across the past 20 years, 1990–2010. It includes tracksfrom their most recent studio album, The Final Frontier ,and a number of songs featured in the live set of The Final

Frontier World Tour currently underway. We have been con-tinually and pleasantly surprised at the huge numbers of newyoung fans who are coming along to our shows all aroundthe World these last few years. We are also awarethat these fans may not yet have all the albums these songsoriginally appeared on and may not be familiar with many of these songs, but are interested in discovering more about the band and their vibrant history. This compilation is for them.

Putting together a selection drawn from Maiden’s last eight stu-

dio albums afforded us a great opportunity to create a time-capsule of songs we feel accurately and honestly depicts the band’s musical and personal evolution and progression from1990 to the present day. The album reflects how Maiden con-tinue to create, push boundaries, take risks, and follow theirinstincts. Making music they believe in and not being side-tracked by fashions, trends, or any of the other transient pres-sures which can often bring to bear so much invasive influencein today’s music scene.

In short, this compilation simply shows Maiden doing whatMaiden does best. Music. We hope you enjoy listening andthat you come away understanding a little better just what the band represents, why they appeal to so many millions of fansthroughout the world regardless of race, colour, religion, age orsex. In other words, putting you very firmly in the prestigiouscompany of our global Maiden Family. In which case, Welcome!

Jimmy Reptile and all his friendsSay they going to be with you at the endBurning records, burning booksHoly soldiers, Nazi looksCrocodile smiles just wait a while’Til the TV Queen gets her makeup clean

I’ve lived in filth, I’ve lived in sinAnd I still smell cleaner than the shityou’re in

3. EL DORADO(Smith/Harris/Dickinson) 06:49

Got to tell you a story on a coldwinter’s nightYou’ll be sailing for glory before youknow what is rightSo come over here now I got a visionfor youIt’s my personal snake oil it’s justsomething I do

I’m the jester with no tears and I’mplaying on your fearsI’m a trickster smiling underneath thismask of love and deathThe eternal lie I’ve told about the



pyramids of goldI’ve got you hooked at every turn yourmoney’s left to burn

You’ll be wanting a contractYou’ll be waiting a whileI’d like to give you my contact butthat isn’t my styleWell you only get one chance and it’stoo good to missIf I didn’t lie to you then I wouldn’t exist

Greed lust and envy pride it’s the sameold same old rideThe smoke and mirrors visions thatyou see are just like meI’m a clever banker’s face with just aletter out of placeI know someone just like you knowssomeone just like me

El Dorado come and playEl Dorado step this wayTake a ticket for the rideEl Dorado streets of gold see my shipis oversoldYou’ve got once last chance to try

So gone is the glory and gone is the goldWell if you knew the story how come ithas to be toldWell you can say I’m a devil and Iwouldn’t say noBut out here on the dark sidehey on with the show

So now my tale is toldBig and bad and twice as boldThis ship of fools is sinkingAs the cracks begin to growThere is no easy wayFor an honest man todayWhich is something you should thinkon as my life boat sails away

El Dorado come and playEl Dorado step this wayTake a ticket for the rideEl Dorado streets of gold see my shipis oversoldYou’ve got once last chance to try

4. PASCHENDALE

(Smith/Harris) 08:27

In a foreign field he layLonely soldier unknown graveOn his dying words he praysTell the world of Paschendale

Relive all that he’s been throughLast communion of his soulRust your bullets with his tearsLet me tell you ‘bout his years

Laying low in a blood filled trenchKilling time ‘til my very own deathOn my face I can feel the falling rainNever see my friends again

In the smoke in the mud and leadSmell the fear and the feeling of dread

Soon be time to go over the wallRapid fire and the end of us all

Whistles, shouts and more gun fireLifeless bodies hang on barbed wireBattlefield nothing but a bloody tombBe reunited with my dead friends soon

Many soldiers eighteen yearsDrown in mud no more tearsSurely a war no-one can winKilling time about to begin

Home, far awayFrom the war, a chance to live againHome, far awayBut the war, no chance to live again

The bodies of ours and our foesThe sea of death it overflowsIn no man’s land God only knowsInto jaws of death we go

Crucified as if on a crossAllied troops they mourn their lossGerman war propaganda machineSuch before has never been seen

Swear I heard the angels cryPray to God no more may dieSo that people know the truthTell the tale of Paschendale

Cruelty has a human heartEveryman does play his partTerror of the men we killThe human heart is hungry still

I stand my ground for the very last timeGun is ready as I stand in lineNervous wait for the whistle to blowRush of blood and over we go

Blood is falling like the rainIts crimson cloak unveils againThe sound of guns can’t hide their shameAnd so we die in Paschendale

Dodging shrapnel and barbed wireRunning straight at cannon fire

Running blind as I hold my breathSay a prayer symphony of death

As we charge the enemy linesA burst of fire and we go downI choke a cry but no-one hearsFeel the blood go down my throat

Home, far awayFrom the war, a chance to live againHome, far awayBut the war, no chance to live again

See my spirit on the windAcross the lines beyond the hillFriend and foe will meet againThose who died at Paschendale

5. DIFFERENT WORLD(Smith/Harris) 04:18

You lead me on the pathKeep showing me the wayI feel a little lostA little strange today

I think I’ll take a hold

Of whatever comes my wayThen we’ll see what happensTake it day by day

I thought I had it allI had it all worked out

Just what my future heldThat there would be no doubt

But then the card came upAnd I took another turnBut I don’t know if it’sFulfilment that I yearn

Tell me what you can hearAnd then tell me what you seeEverybody has a different wayTo view the world

I would like you to knowWhen you see the simple thingsTo appreciate this lifeIt’s not too late to learn

Don’t want to be hereSomewhere I’d rather beBut when I get thereI might find it’s not for me

Don’t know what I wantOr where I want to beI’m feeling more confusedThe more the days go by

6. MAN ON THE EDGE(Bayley/Gers) 04:33

The freeway is jammed and it’s backedup for milesThis car is an oven and baking us wildNothing is ever the way it should beWhat we deserve we don’t get you see

A briefcase a lunch and a man onthe edgeEach step gets closer to losing his headIs someone in heaven are theylooking downNothing is fair just you look around

Falling down, falling down,falling downFalling down, falling down,falling down

He’s sick of waiting of lying like thisThere’s a hole in the sky for the angels tokissBranded a leper because you don’t fitIn the land of the free you just live byyour wits

Once he built missiles a nation’s defenceNow he can’t even get birthday presentsAcross the city he leaves in his wakeA glimpse of the future a cannibal state

Falling down, falling down,falling downFalling down, falling down,falling down

The freeway is jammed and it’s backedup for milesThis car is an oven and baking us wildNothing is ever the way it should beWhat we deserve we just don’t getyou see

A briefcase a lunch and a man onthe edgeEach step gets closer to losinghis headIs someone in heaven are theylooking downNothing is fair just you look around

Falling down, falling down,falling downFalling down, falling down,falling downFalling down, falling down,falling downFalling down, falling down,falling down

7. THE REINCARNATION OFBENJAMIN BREEG(Murray/Harris) 07:21

Let me tell you about my lifeLet me tell you about my dreamsLet me tell you about the thingsthat happenAlways real to me

Let me tell you of my hopeOf my need to reach the sky

Let me take you on an awkward journeyLet me tell you whyLet me tell you why

Why should these curses be laidupon meI won’t be forgiven ‘til I can break freeWhat did I do to deserve all this guiltPay for my sins with the sale of my soulDemons are trapped all inside of my headMy hopes are gone reach for heavenfrom hell

My sins are many, my guilt istoo heavyThe pressure of knowing, of hiding whatI know

I’m able to see things, things I don’t wantto seeThe lives of a thousand souls, weighheavy down on me

I know they’re crying for helpreaching outThe burden of them will take medown as wellThe sin of a thousand souls not diedin vainReincarnate still in me live again

Someone to save meSomething to save me from myself To bring salvationTo exorcise this hell

Someone to save meSomething to save me from my hellA destinationAway from this nightmare

Someone to save meSomething to save me from myself To bring salvationTo exorcise this hell

8. BLOOD BROTHERS(Harris) 07:14

And if you’re taking a walk throughthe garden of life



11. BRAVE NEW WORLD(Murray/Harris/Dickinson) 06:20

Dying swans twisted wingsBeauty not needed hereLost my love, lost my lifeIn this garden of fearI have seen many thingsIn a lifetime aloneMother love is no moreBring this savage back home

Wilderness house of painMakes no sense of it allClose this mind dull this brainMessiah before his fallWhat you see is not realThose who know will not tellAll is lost sold your soulTo this brave new world

A brave new worldIn a brave new worldA brave new worldIn a brave new world

Dragon Kings Dying QueensWhere is salvation nowLost my life lost my dreamsRip the bones from my fleshSilent screams laughing hereDying to tell you the truthYou are planned you are damnedIn this brave new world

A brave new worldIn a brave new worldA brave new worldIn a brave new world

Dying swans twisted wingsBring this savage back home

12. FEAR OF THE DARK

(Harris) 07:51

I am a man who walks aloneAnd when I’m walking a dark roadAt night, or strolling through the park

When the light begins to changeI sometimes feel a little strangeA little anxious when it’s dark

CHORUS:Fear of the darkFear of the darkI have a constant fear that something’salways nearFear of the darkFear of the dark

I have a phobia that someone’salways there

Have you run your fingers down the wallAnd have you felt your neck skin crawlWhen you’re searching for the light?Sometimes when you’re scared to takea lookAt the corners of the roomYou’ve sensed that something’swatching you

CHORUS

Have you ever been alone at nightThought you heard footsteps behindAnd turned around and no-one’s there?And as you quicken up your paceYou find it hard to look againBecause you’re sure there’s someonethere

CHORUS

Watching horror films the night beforeDebating witches and folkloreThe unknown troubles on your mindMaybe your mind is playing tricksYou sense and suddenly eyes fix

On dancing shadows from behind

CHORUS REPEAT

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

14. BE QUICK OR BE DEAD(Dickinson/Gers) 03:24

Covered in sinners and dripping with guiltMaking you money from slime andfrom filthParading your bellies in ivory towersInvesting our lives in your schemes andyour powers

CHORUS:You got to watch them – be quick orbe deadSnake eyes in heaven – the thief inyour headYou got to watch them – be quick orbe deadSnake eyes in heaven – the thief inyour headBe quick!Or be dead!Be quick!Or be dead!

See… what’s ruling all our livesSee who’s pulling strings

What do you think you’d expect youwould see?

Just like a mirror reflecting the movesof your lifeAnd in the river reflections of me

Just for a second a glimpse of myfather I seeAnd in a movement he beckons to meAnd in a moment the memories areall that remainAnd all the wounds are reopening again

We’re blood brothers, we’re bloodbrothersWe’re blood brothers, we’re bloodbrothers

And as you look all around at theworld in dismayWhat do you see, do you think wehave learnedNot if you’re taking a look at the wartorn affrayOut in the streets where the babiesare burned

We’re blood brothers, we’re blood

brothersWe’re blood brothers, we’re bloodbrothers

There are times when I feel I’m afraidfor the worldThere are times I’m ashamed of us allWhen you’re floating on all theemotion you feelAnd reflecting the good and the bad

Will we ever know what the answer tolife really is?Can you really tell me what life is?Maybe all the things that you knowthat are precious to youCould be swept away by fate’s ownhand

We’re blood brothers. We’re bloodbrothersWe’re blood brothers, we’re bloodbrothers

When you think that we’ve used allour chancesAnd the chance to make everything rightKeep on making the same old mistakesMakes untipping the balance so easyWhen we’re living our lives on the edgeSay a prayer on the book of the dead

We’re blood brothers, we’re blood

brothersWe’re blood brothers, we’re bloodbrothers

And if you’re taking a walk throughthe garden of life…

9. RAINMAKER(Murray/Harris/Dickinson) 03:49

When I was wandering in the desert

And was searching for the truthI heard a choir of angels calling outmy nameI had the feeling that my life wouldnever be the same againI turn my face towards thebarren sun

And I know of the pain that you feelthe same as meAnd I dream of the rain as it falls uponthe leavesAnd the cracks in our lives like thecracks upon the groundThey are sealed and are nowwashed away

You tell me we can start the rainYou tell me that we all can changeYou tell me we can find something towash the tears awayYou tell me we can start the rainYou tell me that we all can changeYou tell me we can find something towash the tears…

And I know of the pain that you feelthe same as meAnd I dream of the rain as it falls uponthe leavesAnd the cracks in the ground like thecracks are in our livesThey are sealed and now far away

You tell me we can start the rainYou tell me that we all can changeYou tell me we can find something towash the tears awayYou tell me we can start the rainYou tell me that we all can changeYou tell me we can find something towash the tears…

And I know of the pain that you feelthe same as meAnd I dream of the rain as it falls uponthe leavesAnd the cracks in the ground like thecracks are in our livesThey are sealed and are now

far away

10. SIGN OF THE CROSS(Harris) 10:51

Eleven saintly shrouded men, silhouettesstand against the skyOne in front with a cross held high, cometo wash my sins away

Standing alone in the wind and the rain,feeling the fear that is growingSensing the change in the tide again,caught by the storm that is brewing

Feel the anxiety hold off the fear, some of the doubt in the things you believeNow that your faith will be put tothe test, nothing to do but await whatis coming

Why then is God still protecting me, evenwhen I don’t deserve itThough I am blessed with an innerstrength, some they would call ita penanceWhy am I meant to face this alone,asking the question time and againPraying to God won’t keep me alive,inside my head feel the fear start to rise

They’ll be saying their prayers when the

moment comesThere’ll be penance to pay when it’sjudgement dayAnd the guilty’ll bleed when that momentcomesThey’ll be coming to claim, take yoursoul away

The sign of the crossThe name of the rose… a fire in the skyThe sign of the cross

They’ll be coming to bring theeternal flameThey’ll be bringing us all immortalityHolding communion so the worldbe blessed

My creator, my God’ll lay my soul to rest

The sign of the crossThe name of the rose… a fire in the skyThe sign of the cross

The sign of the crossThe name of the rose… a fire in the skyThe sign of the crossThe name of the rose… the sign ofthe cross

Lost the love of heaven above, chose thelust of the earth belowEleven saintly shrouded men, come towash my sins awayBack to top



I bet you won’t fall on your face…Your belly will hold you in placeWho pulls the strings

The serpent is crawling inside ofyour earHe says you must vote for what youwant to hearDon’t matter what’s wrong as longas you’re all rightSo pull yourself stupid and robyourself blind

CHORUS

Be quick or be dead!

15. TAIL GUNNER

(Harris/Dickinson) 04:15

Trace your way back 50 yearsTo the glow of Dresden – blood andtearsIn the black above my cruel searchlightMen will die and men will fight –yeah!Who shot who, and who fired first?

Dripping death to whet the bloodthirstNo radar lock on – skin and boneThe bomber boys are going home

CHORUS:Climb into the sky, never wonder why– Tail GunnerYou’re the Tail Gunner

Nail that Fokker, kill that sonGonna blow your guts out with mygunThe weather forecasts good for warCologne and Frankfurt?Have some more!Tail end Charlie in the boiling skyThe Enola Gay was my last tryNow that this Tail Gunner’s goneNo more bombers (just one big bomb)

CHORUS

16. NO MORE LIES

(Harris) 07:22

There’s a darkening sky before meThere’s no time to prepareSalvage a last horizonBut no regrets from me

Maybe I’ll be back some other dayTo live again just who can say

In what shape or form that I might be Just another chance for me

A hurried time no disgraceInstead of racing to conclusionAnd wishing all my life awayNo-one can stop me now

Time is up it couldn’t lastBut there’s more things I’d like to doI’m coming back to try againSomeday maybe I’ll wait till then

No more liesNo more liesNo more liesNo more lies

They’re all sitting at my tableTalking tall and drinking wineTheir time is up just like meBut they just don’t know it yet

So just a word of warningWhen you’re in your deepest dreamsThere’s nothing you can hide fromI’ve got my eye on you

The clock is fast the hour is nearEventful past is everclearMy life is set the time is hereI think I’m coming home

No more liesNo more liesNo more liesNo more lies

A hurried time no disgraceInstead of racing to conclusionAnd wishing all your life awayNo-one can stop me now

Time is up it couldn’t lastBut there’s more things I have to do

I’m coming back to try againDon’t tell me that this is the end

No more liesNo more liesNo more liesNo more lies…

17. COMING HOME

(Smith/Harris/Dickinson) 05:53

When I stand before you shiningIn the early morning SunWhen I feel the engines roarAnd I think of what we’ve done

Oh the bittersweet reflectionAs we kiss the earth goodbyeAs the waves and echoes of theTowns become the ghosts of time

Over borders that divide theEarthbound tribesNo creed and no religion

Just a hundred winged souls

We will ride this thunderbirdSilver shadows on the earth

A thousand leagues awayOur land of birthTo Albion’s landComing home when I see theRunway lightsIn the misty dawn the nightIs fading fastComing home far awayAs the vapour trails alightWhere I’ve been tonightYou know I will not stay

Curving on the edge of daylight‘til it slips into the voidWaited in the long night dreaming‘til the Sun is born again

Stretch the fingers of my handCover countries with my span

Just a lonely satelliteA speck of dust in cosmic sand

Over borders that divide theEarthbound tribesFlown the dark AtlanticOver mariners stormy graves

We will ride this thunderbirdSilver shadows on the earthA thousand leagues awayOur land of birth

To Albion’s land

Coming home when I see theRunway lightsIn the misty dawn the nightIs fading fastComing home far awayAs the vapour trails alightWhere I’ve been tonightYou know I will not stay

Coming home far awaywhen I see the runway lightsIn the misty dawn the nightIs fading fastComing home far awayAs the vapour trails alightWhere I’ve been tonightYou know I will not stay

18. THE CLANSMAN(Harris) 09:28

Walk alone in the hills with the wind inyour faceIt feels good to be proud and be free anda raceThat is part of a clan and to live onhighlandsAnd the air that you breathe so pure andso clean

When alone on the hills with the wind inyour hairWith a longing to feel just to be free

Is it right to believe in the need tobe freeIt’s a time when you die and withoutasking whyCan’t you see what they do they aregrinding us downThey are taking our land that belongs tothe clans

Not alone with a dream just a wantto be freeWith a need to belong I ama clansman

FreedomFreedomFreedomFreedom

It’s a time wrought with fear it’s a landwrought with change

Ancestors could hear what is happeningnowThey would turn in their graves theywould all be ashamedThat the land of the free has beenwritten in chainsAnd I know what I want when the

timing is right

The I’ll take what is mine I amthe clansmanAnd I swear to defend and we’ll fight tothe endAnd I swear that I’ll never betaken aliveAnd I know that we’ll stand and we’llfight for our landAnd I swear that my bairns will beborn free

And I know what I want when thetiming is rightThen I’ll take what is mine I amthe clansman

19. FOR THE GREATER GOOD OF GOD(Harris) 09:24

Are you a man of peaceOr man of holy warToo many sides to youDon’t know which anymoreSo many full of lifeBut also filled with painDon’t know just how many



Bring me your daughterFetch your daughterBring me your daughterFetch your daughterTo the slaughter

Bring your daughterBring your daughterTo the slaughterLet her go, let her go, let her go

Bring your daughter

Bring your daughterTo the slaughterLet her go, let her go, let her goBring your daughterTo the slaughterLet her go, let her go, let her go

Bring your daughterBring your daughterTo the slaughterLet her go, let her go, let her go

9. AFRAID TO SHOOT STRANGERS(Harris) 06:56

Lying awake at night I wipe the sweatfrom my browBut it’s not the fear ‘cos I’d rathergo now

Trying to visualise the horrors that willlay aheadThe desert sand mound a burial ground

When it comes to the timeAre we partners in crime?When it comes to the timeWe’ll be ready to die

God let us go now and finish what’sto be doneThy kingdom come

Thy shall be done… on earth

Trying to justify to ourselves thereasons to goShould we live and let liveForget or forgive

But how can we let them go on thisway?The reign of terror corruption must endAnd we know deep down there’s noother wayNo trust, no reasoning, no more to say

Afraid to shoot strangersAfraid to shoot strangers

22. DANCE DEATH

(Gers/Harris) 08:37

Let me tell you a story to chill thebonesAbout a thing that I sawOne night wandering in the evergladesI’d one drink but no more

I was rambling, enjoying thebright moonlight

Gazing up at the starsNot aware of a presence so near to meWatching my every move

Feeling scared and I fell to my kneesAs something rushed me from the treesTook me to an unholy placeAnd that is where I fell from grace

Then they summoned me over to joinin with themTo the dance of the deadIn to the circle of fire I followed themIn to the middle I was led

As if time had stopped still I was numb

with fearBut still I wanted to goAnd the blaze of the fire did no hurtupon meAs I walked on to the coals

Then I felt I was in a tranceAnd my spirit was lifted from meAnd if only someone had the chanceTo witness what happened to me

And I danced and I pranced and I sangwith themAll had death in their eyesLifeless figures they were undead allof them

They had ascended from hell

As I danced with the dead my freespiritWas laughing and howling down at meBelow my undead body just danced theCircle of death

Until the time came to reunite us bothMy spirit came back down to meI didn’t know if I was alive or deadAs the others all joined in with me

By luck then a skirmish startedAnd took the attention away from meWhen they took their gaze from me

Will live to breathe again

A life that’s made to breathdestruction or defenseA mind that’s vain corruption bad orgood intentA wolf in sheep’s clothingOr saintly or sinnerOr some that would believeA holy war winner

They fire off many shots and many

parting blowsTheir actions beyond a reasoning,only God would knowAnd as he lies in heaven or it couldbe in hellI feel he’s somewhere here or lookingfrom belowBut I don’t know, I don’t know

Please tell me now what life isPlease tell me now what love isWell tell me now what war isAgain tell me what life is

More pain and misery in the historyof mankind

Sometimes it seems more like theblind leading the blindIt brings upon us more of famine,death and warYou know religion has a lot toanswer for


And as they search to find the bodiesin the sandThey find its ashes that are scatteredacross the landAnd as their spirits seem to whistle on

the windA shot is fired somewhere anotherwar begins

And all because of it you’d thinkthat we would learnBut still the body count the cityfires burnSomewhere there’s someone dying ina foreign landMeanwhile the world is cryingstupidity of manTell me why, tell me why

Please tell me now what life isPlease tell me now what love is

Well tell me now what war isAgain tell me what life is


For the greater good of God

Please tell me now what life isPlease tell me now what love is

Well tell me now what war isAgain tell me what life is


For the greater good of God

He gave his life for us he fell uponthe crossTo die for all of those who never mournhis lossIt wasn’t meant for us to feel thepain again

Tell me why, tell me why

20. THESE COLOURS DON’T RUN(Smith/Harris/Dickinson) 06:53

It’s the same in every country when yousay you’re leavingLeft behind the loved ones waiting silentin the hallWhere you’re going lies adventure othersonly dream of Red and green light this is real and soyou go to war

For the passion, for the glory, for thememories, for the money

You’re a soldier, for your country, what’sthe difference, all the same

Far away from the land of our birthWe fly a flag in some foreign earthWe sailed away like our fathers beforeThese colours don’t run, from coldbloody war

There is no one that will save you, goingdown in flamesNo surrender certain death you lookit in the eyeOn the shores of tyranny you crashed ahuman wavePaying for my freedom with your lonely

unmarked graves

For the passion, for the glory, for thememories, for the moneyYou’re a soldier, for your country,what’s the difference, all the same

Far away from the land of our birthWe fly a flag in some foreign earthWe sailed away like our fathers beforeThese colours don’t run, from coldbloody war

21. BRING YOUR DAUGHTER TOTHE SLAUGHTER(Dickinson) 04:44

Honey it’s getting close to midnightAnd all the myths are still in townTrue love and lipstick on your linenBite the pillow make no soundIf there’s some living to be doneBefore your life becomes your tombYou’d better know that I’m the oneSo unchain your back door and inviteme around

CHORUS:Bring your daughter, bring yourdaughter to the slaughterLet her go, let her go, let her goBring your daughter, bring yourdaughter to the slaughterLet her go, let her go, let her go

Honey it’s getting close to daybreakThe sun is creeping in the skyNo patent remedies for the heartache

Just empty words and humble pieSo get down on your knees honeyAssume an attitudeYou just pray that I’ll be waiting‘Cos you know I’m coming soon

CHORUS

So pick up your foolish pride, nogoing backNowhere, no way, no place to hide

Bring me your daughterBring me your daughterBring me your daughterBring me your daughterBring me your daughterBring me your daughterTo the slaughter

Bring me your daughterFetch your daughter



Was the moment that I fled

I ran like hell faster than the windBut behind I did not glanceOne thing that I did not dareWas to look just straight ahead

When you know that your time hascome aroundYou know you’ll be prepared for itSay your last goodbyes to everyoneDrink and say a prayer for it

When you’re lying in your sleep,when you’re lying in your bedAnd you wake from your dreams to godancing with the deadWhen you’re lying in your sleep,when you’re lying in your bedAnd you wake from your dreams to godancing with the dead

To this day I guess I’ll never know Just why they let me goBut I’ll never go dancing no more‘Til I dance with the dead

23. WHEN THE WILD WIND BLOWS(Harris) 11:02

Have you heard what they said onThe news todayHave you heard what is comingTo us allThat the World as we know itWill be coming to an endHave you heard have you heard

He sees them in the distanceWhere the darkened clouds rollHe can feel tension in theAtmosphereHe would look in the mirrorSee an old man now

Does it matter they survive somehow

They said there’s nothing can bedone about the situationThey said there’s nothing we canDo at allTo sit and wait around for something tooccurDid you know did you know

As he stares across the gardenLooking at the meadowsAnd wonders if they’ll ever grow againThe desperation of the situationgetting graverGetting ready when the wild wind blows

Have you seen what they said onThe news todayHave you heard what they saidAbout us all

Do you know what is happeningTo just everyone of usHave you heard have you heard

There will be a catastrophe the likewe’ve never seenThere will be something that

Will light the skyThat the World as we know itIt will never be the sameDid you know did you know

He carries everything into theShelter not a fussGetting ready when the moment comesHe has enough supplies to last them fora year or twoGood to have because you never know

They tell us nothing that we don’talready know aboutThey tell us nothing that is real at allThey only fill us with the stuff that

they wantDid you know did you know

He’s nearly finished with thePreparations for the dayHe’s getting tired that’ll do for nowThey are preparing for the veryWorst to come to themGetting ready when the wild wind blows

He sees the picture on the wallIt’s falling down upside downHe sees a teardrop from his wifeRoll down her face saying grace

Remember times they hadThey flash right through his mind

Left behindOf a lifetime spent togetherLong ago will be gone

They’ve been preparing for someweeks nowFor when the crucial moment comesTo take their refuge in the shelterLet them prepare for what will come

They make a tea and sit there waitingThey’re in the shelter feeling snugNot long to wait for absolutionDon’t make a fuss just sit and wait

Can’t believe all the lying

All the screens are denyingThat the moments of truth have begunCan’t you see it on the T.V.Don’t believe them in the least bitNow the days of our ending have begun

Say a prayer when it’s all overSurvivors unite all as oneGot to try and help each otherGot the will to overcome

I can’t believe all the lying

All the screens are denyingThat the moments of truth have begunCan’t you see it on the T.V.Don’t believe them in the least bitNow the days of our ending have begun

When they found them had theirArms wrapped around each otherTheir tins of poison laying nearbytheir clothesThe day they both mistook anearthquake for the fall out

Just another when the wild wind blows…
