Favourite lines from Maiden songs?

What are some of your favourite lines from Iron Maiden songs?

Mine are...

"Infinite dreams, I can't deny them. Infinity is hard to comprehend..."

"Catch my soul, it's willing to fly away..."

"Moonlight catches silver tears I cry..."

"I will hope, my soul will fly and I will live forever..."

"Out of the silent planet, dreams of desolation..."

"I only dream in black and white, I only dream cos I'm alive..."

That's all I can think of for now!
 
"Don't always waste your time searching for those wasted years, and realize your living in the golden years."

"Black holes in his golden stare
God knows he wants to go home"
 
"All my feelings cannot be held, I'm happy in my new strange world..."

"Unchain the colours, before my eyes. Yesterdays sorrows, tomorrow's white lies..."

"I close my eyes and think of home, another city goes by in the night..."

"There's a time to live but isn't it strange, that as soon as you're born - you're dying..."

"Blood is falling like the rain, it's crimson cloak unveils again..."

Just a few more I've thought of. :D
 
oh, I have some already saved on my computer, so I'll just copy-paste :)
Mine are...

"Don't know why I feel this way, have I dreamt this time, this place?
Something vivid comes again into my mind
And I think I've seen your face, seen this room, been in this place
Something vivid comes again into my mind
All my hopes and expectations, looking for an explanation
Have I found my destination? I just can't take no more
The dream is true, the dream is true" (Dream of Mirrors)

"I am a man who walks alone
And when I'm walking a dark road
At night or strolling through the park
When the light begins to change
I sometimes feel a little strange
A little anxious when it's dark" (Fear of the dark)

"I'm running and hiding in my dreams you're always there.
You're the Phantom of the Opera, you're the devil, you're just out to scare.
You damaged my mind and my soul it just floats through the air.
Haunt me, you taunt me, you torture me back at your lair." (Phantom of the Opera)

"The only place where you can dream, living here is not what it seems.
Ship of white light in the sky, nobody there to reason why.
Here I am, I'm not really there, smiling faces ever so rare.
A let's walk in deepest space, living here just isn't the place...
...Stalks of light come from the ground, when I cry there isn't a sound.
All my feelings cannot be held, I'm happy in my new strange world.
Shades of green grasses twine, girls drinking plasma wine.
A look at love, a dream unfolds, living here, you'll never grow old." (Strange world)

"There are times when I've wondered
And times when I've cried
When my prayers they were answered
At times when I've lied
But if you asked me a question
Would I tell you the truth
Now there's something to bet on
You've got nothing to lose" (No Prayer For The Dying )

"Mother Russia poetry majestic
Tells the time of a great empire
Turning round the old man ponders
Reminiscing an age gone by" (Mother Russia)

"The horse he sweats with fear we break to run
The mighty roar of the Russian guns
And as we race towards the human wall
The screams of pain as my comrades fall.
We hurdle bodies that lay on the ground
And the Russians fire another round
We get so near yet so far away
We won't live to fight another day.
We get so close near enough to fight
When a Russian gets me in his sights
He pulls the trigger and I feel the blow
A burst of rounds take my horse below." (The Trooper)

"I feel the breeze on my face in expectance
Not very long before the storm reaches here
Off in the distance the lightning is flashing again
Feel something strong as the power draws near
Is it the rolling thunder that scares you
Is it the crashing of clouds that hold fear
But all I know as I sit in a corner alone
It takes me back to my childhood again" (Lightning Strikes Twice)

"He's walking like a small child
But watch his eyes burn you away
Black holes in his golden stare
God knows he wants to go home
Children of The Damned" (Children of the Damned)

"Withered hands, withered bodies begging for salvation
Deserted by the hand of gods of their own creation
Nations cry underneath decaying skies above
You are guilty, the punishment is death for all who live
The punishment is death for all who live
Out of the silent planet, dreams of desolation
Out of the silent planet, Come the demons of creation
Out of the silent planet, dreams of desolation
Out of the silent planet, Come the demons of creation" (Out of the Silent Planet)

"Spend your days full of emptiness
Spend your years full of loneliness
Wasting love, in a desperate caress
Rolling shadows of night" (Wasting Love)
 
Some of you have already covered a lot of my faves so I won't repeat:
But here are a few I love that haven't been mentioned:

There's a time to live and a time to die
When it's time to meet the maker
There's a time to live but isn't it strange
As soon as you're born, you're dying

As well as:

Your time will come
Your time will co-o-o-ome!

"Won't you come into my cheese shop, I want to show you all my cheese." :D
:lol: :lol: :lol: That's a riot, Rya!!!
 
Don't particulary have special meaning to me, but these parts stick out when playing the songs live for some reason:


He said you wanna know the truth son?
Lord, I'll tell you the truth
Your soul's gonna burn in a lake of fire
:devil: (Sara and I have a lot of fun with that line in rehearsals and performances. :D )



But I will pray for you.
And some day I may return.
Don't you cry for me.
Beyond is where I learn.


All the men that are constantly drooling
It's no life for you stop all that screwing
You're packing your bags and you're coming with me
(another fun line to lip-synch when playing....helps keep your place in the song too)

if your gonna die, die with your boots on \m/

I second that! This is definitely my fav quote and I say it a lot :D

The other cool one I like but don't say much is "As soon as you're born, you're dying" :ill:

Some others I like to say:
(when somebody asks about time...) I say "Two min to midnight!"
or
When the shit is gettin think I say "Run to the Hills!"

Here's another memorable lyric:

"Mmmm mmm mmm mmmmmm mmm mmm." It's Blaze from the 5 November 1995 show in Scotland, humming the lyrics to Fortunes of War when he couldn't remember them. :D
