If Eternity Should Fail Lyrics

Cover art for If Eternity Should Fail lyrics by Iron Maiden

Diciknson's illness made him to see Death is really awaiting...and...if the eternity should fail? The song is for his daughter and son. He is saying "I could maybe leave for sure...He is saying Good Bye to them...He says to them he has already rised them and teach them everything from his pure love from heart and soul and must use it well...in every aspect in life to make him proud Beyond eternity. It is very very very touching and reflexive MASTERPIECE.

@matiasanzalone He didn't know he had cancer when he wrote this song. Actually this song was written before Maiden started to work on The Book of Souls, Bruce had it written for his next solo album and Steve wanted it for Maiden.
