Quest For Fire Lyrics
When the land was swamp and caves were home
In an age when prize possession was fire
To search for landscapes men would roam.
And the wolves they howled into the night
As they fought a vicious angry battle
to save the power of warmth and light.
They searched all through the land
Drawn by quest for fire
Discovery of man.
That the flame of life had burnt and died
Didn't know the sparks that made the fire
Were made by rubbing stick and stone.
And they fought the cannibal tribes and beasts
In the search to find another fire
To regain the power of light and heat.
They searched across the land
Drawn by quest for fire
Discovery of man.
it has got to be the dumbest song maiden ever played. oh well cant win em all.
Okay, I love Iron Maiden, they're one of my favourite bands ever, but this song really sucks. Its not the music, its the lyrics. I mean ...
"Didn't know the sparks that made the fire Were made by rubbing stick and stone."
No song should ever feature these lyrics. Where the poetry, where's the dramatic lines? It's just so immature.
Anyway, the rest of Piece Of Mind is kick ass and has to be one of Maiden's Greatest albums.
"It's just so immature"
"It's just so immature"

U ARE A JOKE BUDDY!!!!!!! THIS SONG ROX!
i love iron maiden, don't get me wrong, but this song really does suck, i'm sorry guys, hate me all you want.
LOL i will watch it! is the song about the movie?
yeah I'm pretty sure it has something to do about the movie
This song reminds me of the moneky scene in '2001, A Space Odyssey' by Stanley Kubrick. I guess it's just the idea of the first invention to be made. The monkeys in the movie found use of a stick and in this song fire seems to be the first thing that they discovered.
Why do you guys hate the song so much? =[
It's easily the best on Piece of Mind along with "The Trooper" and "Sun and Steel".

I agree with Crujebsul a bit on this one, it's a very good song. Solid riffs, good screams by Bruce, and a pretty nice solo.
