The Educated Fool Lyrics

Lyric discussion by IslesFan39 

Cover art for The Educated Fool lyrics by Iron Maiden

This song is about someome who has gone to school, gone to college but realizes how little he really knows so little. I think this song refers to going into the after life two clues are "Have a liftime of experience" (They may not have that much longer to live on this earth) "I want so see my father beyond" (He wants to see his father in the after life, or he wants to see God in the after life)

Further evidence is what i beleive are lyrical references to heaven "I want to walk right into the light I want to feel no fear but delight"

and hell "I want to walk right into the fire I want to live out all my desires"

The verse "Never felt this way before Seems that somebody's just opened the door To the book of life .... or is it death! there's ever anyway out" Seems to say that there is more then life on this earth, That The opened door is actually death, the way out of a life which is an illuison
