Cover art for Children Of The Damned lyrics by Iron Maiden

This song is based on the movie of the same name, the film is about 6 children with psychic powers who are opposed by the human race. This song describes the fate of the last child, whom the humans are going to burn, the last verse discribes his death. This is a very powerful song and is the soul reason that I bought the number of the beast.
