Restless sleep the minds in turmoil One nightmare ends another fertile Getting to me so scared to sleep But scared to wake now, in too deep. Even though it reached new heights I rather like the restless nights It makes me wonder it makes me think There's more to this, I'm on the brink It's not the fear of what's beyond It's just that I might not respond I have an interest almost craving But would I like to get too far in? It can't all be coincidence Too many things are evident You tell me you're an unbeliever Spiritualist? Well me I'm neither But wouldn't you like to know The truth Of what's out there to have the proof And find out just which side You're on Where would you end in Heaven or In Hell? Help me. Help me to find my true Self without seeing the future Save me, save me from torturing Myself even within my dreams There's got to be just more to it That this Or tell me why do we exist I'd like to think that when I die I'd get a chance another time And to return and live again Reincarnate, play the game Again and again and again. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 3) Can I Play With Madness (Smith, Dickinson, Harris) 3:31 Give me the sense to wonder To wonder if I'm free Give me a sense of wonder To know I can be me Give me the strenght to hold my head up Spit back in their face Don't need no key to unlock this door Gonna break down the walls Break out of this bad place Can I play with madness - the prophet stared at his crystal ball Can I play with madness - there's no vision there at all Can I play with madness - the prophet looked and he laughted at me Can I play with madness - he said you're blind too blind to see I screamed aloud to the old man I said don't lie don't say you don't know I say you'll pay for your mischief In this wourld ot the next Oh and them he fixed me with a freezing glance And the hell fires raged his eyes He said do you want to no the truth son I'll tell you the truth Your soul gonna burn in the lake of fire Can I play with madness - the prophet stared at his crystal ball Can I play with madness - there's no vision there at all Can I play with madness - the prophet looked and he laughted at me Can I play with madness - he said you're blind too blind to see Can I play with madness - the prophet stared at his crystal ball Can I play with madness - there's no vision there at all Can I play with madness - the prophet looked and he laughted at me Can I play with madness - he said you're blind too blind to see ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 4) The Evil That Men Do (Smith, Dickinson, Harris) 4:35 Love is a razor and I walked the line on that silver blade. Slept in the dust with his daughter, her eyes red with The slaughter of innocence. But I will pray for her. I will call her name outloud. I would bleed for her. If only I could see her now. Living on a razor edge. Balancing on a ledge. Living on a razor edge. The evil that men do lives on and on..... The evil that men do lives on and on..... The evil that men do lives on and on..... The evil that men do lives on and on..... Circle of fire my baptism of joy at an end it seems. The seventh lamb slain, the book of life opens before me. But I will pray for you. And some day I may return. I would die for you. Beyond is where I learn. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 5) Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son (Harris) 9:53 Here they stand brothers them all All the sons divided they'd fall Here await the birth of the son The seventh, the heavenly, the chosen one. Here the birth from unbroken Born the healer the seventh, his time Unknowingly blessed and as his life unfolds Slowly unveiling the power he holds Seventh son of a seventh son Seventh son of a seventh son Seventh son of a seventh son Seventh son of a seventh son Then they watch the progress he makes The Good and Evil which path will he take Both of them trying to manipulate. The use of his power before it's too late Seventh son of a seventh son Seventh son of a seventh son Seventh son of a seventh son Seventh son of a seventh son Tadoq is born the seventh one Born of woman the seventh son And he is turn of a seventh son He has the power to heal He has the gift of the second sight He is the chosen one So it shall be written So it shall be done ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 6) The Prophecy (Murray, Harris) 5:05 Now that I know that the right time has come Me prediction will surely be true The impending disaster it looms And the whole of the village is doomed Why won't you lesten to me Is it so hard to understand That I am the real seventh son Your life or death on me depends Suffering and pain impending disaster Souls crying the devil's laughter Heard the cry of the seven whistlers Lucifer smiles looks on and waits I'll take your life in my hands Your fate your fortune's in my visionns Heed what I say and you'll see what What will be Please listen to me Now that they see the disaster is done Now they put all the blame unto me They feel I brought on a curse Don't they know that the torment It stays with me knowing that I walk alone Through the eyes of the future I see They don't ever know what fear is Don't they know I'm the one who is cursed Purgatory beckons souls lost forever Life after death or heaven hereafter Heard the call of the seventh whistlers again How Lucifer laughs hell awaits I had their lives in my hands Their fate their fortune in my visions No one believd in my true prophecy And now it's too late. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 7) The Clairvoyant (Harris) 4:27 Feel the sweat break on my brow Is it me os is it shadows that are Dancing on the walls. Is this a dream or is it'now Is this a vision of normality I see Before my eyes. I wonder why I wonder how That it seems the powers getting stronger Every day I feel a strength an inner fire But I'm scared I won't be able to control it anumore There's time to live and a time to die When it's time to meet the maker There's time to live but isn't it strange That as soon as you're burn you're dying. Just by looking through your eyes He could see the future penetrating right In through youe mind See the truth and see your lies But for all this power couldn't foresee his own demise There's 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 That as soon as you're born you're dying... ... and reborn again?? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 8) Only The Good Die Young (Harris, Dickinson) 4:42 The demon in your minf will rape you in your bed at night The wisdom af ages, the lies and outreages concealed Time it was for no man My fate is sealed IF I cancel tomorrow the undead will thank me today Fly in the face of your prophets I mock your morality plays The moon is red and bleeding The sun is burned and black The book of life is silent No turning back Only the good die young All the evil seem to live forever Only the good die young All the evil seem to live forever Only the good die young Only the good die young Mystery madman a victim of cruel charade Some innocent pawn in a end game one more stalemate Is death another birthday? A way to kiss your dreams goodbye? Do the undead live with us? And look through our eyes? Walking on water are miracles all you can trust Measure your coffin does it mesure up to your lust? So I think I'll leave you With your bishops and your quilt So until the next time Have a good sin Only the good die young All the evil seem to live forever Only the good die young All the evil seem to live forever Only the good die young Only the good die young Seven deadly sins Seven ways to win Seven holy paths to hell Seven downward slopes Seven bloodied hopes Seven are your burning fires Seven your desires... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ CD 2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1) Black Bart Blues (Harris, Dickinson) 6:41 (Spoken): Bruce: 'What the fuck is that?'

In His name, they used the weapons For the massacre There is a point below zero Where the sun can see the land Six hundred unknown heroes Lay dead in the sand ------------------------------------------------------------------------
