Iron Maiden – Chains Of Misery Lyrics 17 years ago
No, Can I play with Madness is based on the same thing the rest of the Seventh Son album is, Orson Scott Card's fantasy novel series "The Tales of Alvin Maker".

My favourite line indeed.

Bullet for My Valentine – Creeping Death Lyrics 17 years ago
It's a cover of a Metallica song from their "Ride the Lightning" album. I don't really like this version, vocally or musically.

Iron Maiden – Judgement Of Heaven Lyrics 17 years ago
"lame lyriced song."

I assume you'd prefer Insane Clown Posse or Limp Bizkit?

Anyway, this song is just as excellent as anything else on The X Factor and Virtual XI. I believe it's about a person (Steve Harris?) who's been brought up religious, and is now beginning to question his beliefs. Myself an athiest, this song has special meaning to me.

Manowar – Swords In The Wind Lyrics 17 years ago
It's most likely that Manowar know about those misconceptions, but don't want to confuse the listeners. They aren't really vikings, you know :p

Manowar – Hail To England Lyrics 17 years ago
Gothzilla's correct. "On English
Ground - we were born." Manowar, all Americans, were founded in England.

Manowar – Battle Hymn Lyrics 17 years ago
Obviously you are not a true Manowar fan. The song is Battle Hymn. Singular. And that's now how you set out lyrics... kids today.

Iron Maiden – The Longest Day Lyrics 18 years ago
Yes, Iron Maiden have written songs with some neutrality (The Trooper, Paschendale), however, although this song also accurately a vividly displays the horror of war, it is also commenting on the people who start the wars, like Black Sabbath's "War Pigs", although much more subtly. Here are some examples.

"All summers long the drills to build the machine
To turn men from flesh and blood to steel"

The men are no longer individuals. They simply become platoons, divisions, centurions, whatever army unit (and whatever war). The soldiers are no longer people - they are a mere device to win a war - to the point you can "win" a war.

"From paper soldiers to bodies on the beach"

'Paper soldiers' has a dual meaning. Firstly, it refers to the machine guns tearing the men down on Normandy. Secondly, it reinforces what was stated in the lines previously. The soldiers may as well be made of paper, following orders from someone they have never met, and treated as such.

"To take a bullet for those who sent them here"

Quite simply, this speaks for itself. The generals who are giving the orders do not experience the horror of the war, yet they are treated as if they are heroes. They are the ones who built "the machine" as referred to earlier (and in War Pigs).

The beauty of the song is that although it has a heavy political meanings, it also represents, with Bruce's poetic mastery, the atmosphere and feelings of those on Normandy beach. One of my favorite Iron Maiden songs.

Iron Maiden – Hallowed Be Thy Name Lyrics 18 years ago
I especially love the line "Reflecting on my past life". It's as if the condemned man is already dead; his life is behind him now.

Iron Maiden – Revelations Lyrics 18 years ago
While trying to work out what some of the lyrics mean, I stumbled upon this review:

And it makes a lot of sense, although the author doesn't really give his references.

Vanishing Point – Day of Difference Lyrics 18 years ago
The lines in italics are from the musical and film "Man of La Mancha". In the play (and movie),Miguel de Cervantes (The main character) is in prison, telling a skeptic about his poetic vision of the world. The skeptic says, “You poets run away from reality. A man has to come to terms with life as it is!” Cervantes retaliates with those lines.

How the lyrics are related to the quote, I honestly do not know.

The dead zone was originally a book by Stephen King, but a good point never the less. Very catchy chorus.

Manowar – Heart Of Steel Lyrics 18 years ago
"Those who laugh and crowd the path
and cut each other's throats
Will fall like melting snow"

I love these lines, and how they talk about those who look down on you for listening to metal.

Metallica – Wherever I May Roam Lyrics 18 years ago
"Ties are severed clean" refers to his connection with his old life being left behind.

Also, Metallica is a very deep band, so these lyrics could refer to any of the interpretations discussed here, or even more.

Manowar – Brothers of Metal, Pt. 1 Lyrics 18 years ago
Without even listening to the song, I can note the lyric changes (And layout)

Strike, while the iron is hot
Steel is strongest, so say we all
And if we all were not brothers of metal, would we fall?
(NO)

They tried to test our spirit
They tasted steel before we were done
Grinding their bones into the dust of the past
All blown away, like a shot from a gun

We cast our lot together, four still stand as one
Here we'll remain forever, 'till our kingdom's won

Brothers of Metal
We are fighting with power and steel
Fighting for metal
Metal that's real
Brothers of metal will always be there
Standing together with hands in the air

Let us drink to the power, drink to the sound
Thunder and metal are shaking the ground
Drink to your brothers, who are never to fall
We're all brothers of metal here in the hall

Our hearts are filled with metal, and masters we have none
And we will die for metal, Metal heals, my son

Brothers of Metal
We are fighting with power and steel
Fighting for metal
Metal that's real
Brothers of metal will always be there
Standing together with hands in the air

Let us drink to the power, drink to the sound
Thunder and metal are shaking the ground
Drink to your brothers, who are never to fall
We're all brothers of metal here in the hall

Our hearts are filled with metal, and masters we have none
And we will die for metal, Metal heals, my son

Brothers of Metal
We are fighting with power and steel
Fighting for metal
Metal that's real
Brothers of metal will always be there
Standing together with hands in the air
