Cover art for The Evil That Men Do lyrics by Iron Maiden

The quote is from William Shakespeare's "Julius Caesar". The exact line(s) are: "The evil that men do lives after them, the good is oft interred with their bones, So let it be with Caesar".

The main line draws from this now commonplace saying.

The end seems to referrence the Revelations of John, "The seventh lamb slain, the book of life opens before me". The following lyrics seem to support this as well.

The first seems a bit out of place, but "Love is a razor" is another quote from somewhere.

All in all this song is totally killer and Maiden rules!

\m/ UP THE IRONS! \m/
