Revelations (1998 Digital Remaster) - Iron Maiden (铁娘子)

Written by：bruce dickinson/dickinson/martin birch

O God of earth and altar

Bow down and hear our cry

Our earthly rulers falter

Our people drift and die

The walls of gold entomb us

The swords of scorn divide

Take not thy thunder from us

But take away our pride

Just a babe in the black abyss

No reason for a place like this

The walls are cold and souls cry out in pain

An easy way for the blind to go

A clever path for the fools who know

The secret of the hangman

The smile on his lips

The light of the blind

You'll see

The venom that tears my spine

The eyes of the nile are opening

You'll see

She came to me with a serpents kiss

As the eye of the sun rose on her lips

Moonlight catches silver tears I cry

So we lay in the black embrace

And the seed is sown in a holy place

And I watched and I waited for the dawn

The light of the blind

You'll see

The venom that tears my spine

The eyes of the nile are opening

You'll see

Bind all of us together

Ablaze with hope and free

No storm or heavy weather

Will rock the boat you'll see

The time has come to close your eyes

And still the wind and rain

For the one who will be king

Is the watcher in the ring

It is you

Ooh

It is you
