《Revelations(Live at Long Beach Arena; 1998 Remaster)》歌词

[00:00:01] Iron Maiden - Revelations

[00:00:43] "O God of Earth and Altar,

[00:00:47] Bow down and hear our cry,

[00:00:50] Our earthly rulers falter,

[00:00:53] Our people drift and die,

[00:00:57] The walls of gold entomb us,

[00:01:00] The swords of scorn divide,

[00:01:03] Take not thy thunder from us,

[00:01:06] But take away our pride.

[00:01:12] (G. K. Chesterton; English Hymnal)

[00:02:24] Just a babe in the black abyss

[00:02:28] No reason for a place like this

[00:02:31] The walls are cold and souls cry out in pain

[00:02:38] An easy way for the blind to go

[00:02:42] A clever path for the fools who know

[00:02:45] The Secret of the Hangman - the smile on his lips

[00:02:53] The light of the Blind - you'll see

[00:02:57] The venom that tears my spine,

[00:03:01] The Eyes of the Nile are opening - you'll see

[00:03:12] She came to me with a serpents kiss

[00:03:16] As the Eye of the Sun Rose on her lips

[00:03:19] Moonlight catches silver tears I cry

[00:03:26] So we lay in the black embrace

[00:03:30] And the Seed is sown in a holy place

[00:03:33] And I watched, and I waited for the dawn.

[00:03:41] The light of the Blind - you'll see,

[00:03:45] The venom that tears my spine,

[00:03:49] The Eyes of the Nile are opening - you'll see.

[00:05:59] Bind all of us together

[00:06:02] Ablaze with Hope and Free,

[00:06:05] No storm or heavy weather

[00:06:08] Will rock the boat you'll see.

[00:06:12] The time has come to close your eyes

[00:06:15] And still the wind and rain,

[00:06:18] For the one who will be King

[00:06:21] Is the Watcher in the Ring,

[00:06:29] It is You.

[00:06:41] It is You.
