[Iron Maiden - Lost in a Lost World lyrics]
All is not it seems to be on the outside
Sometimes what appears to be is a show
What shows in the face is only a mirror
We all have some better places to go
We don't know just what we
Have ’til we've lost it
Until that time comes and know that it's gone
So hard to say things that we
Should have uttered long ago
Tear myself away from thoughts in my head
The people worshipping the sun
And all the children point up to the sky
They see the eagle as it floats on the wind
And they follow with their spirit's high
Buffalo roam on the plain
We walk into the flames but dance for rain
The hallowed dead in sacred ground
The elders
And we wash away their sins for them
Feel the spirit's of the old ones
Standing proud upon their race
And the testament to ancestors
That are never to retrace
Burn the flame of innocence
As they ride into the sun
Thinking now of our forefathers that
Are lying dead upon
Holy ground and sacred earth now
Revisit stolen youth
Lost in a lost world buried on sacred ground
Lost in a lost world lying on sacred ground
Lost in a lost world buried on sacred ground
Lost in a lost world lying on sacred ground
Lost in a lost world
Standing on sacred ground
Lost in a lost world lying on sacred ground
Will we ever heal our old wounds
Like forever darkness worn
Fighting for their lives again
So come on now don’t be afraid
This is where destiny lies
Just to let us breathe again
Put upon this earth to wander
And to walk, forever lost
With the ashes of our enemies
To live among our ghosts
Of our past fear nothing
Life is but a better path to joy
Nowhere to go, nowhere to run
Our whole nation overrun
Itself existence under threat
And soon will be none of us left
Remember names of all our dead now
And enemies that fled
Reaching for our sky forever free
A sadness that is proud
As the clouds all drift away now
Until we meet again
Sometimes what appears to be is a show
What shows in the face is only a mirror
We all have some better places to go
We don't know just what we
Have ’til we've lost it
Until that time comes and know that it's gone
So hard to say things that we
Should have uttered long ago
Tear myself away from thoughts in my head
The people worshipping the sun
And all the children point up to the sky
They see the eagle as it floats on the wind
And they follow with their spirit's high
Buffalo roam on the plain
We walk into the flames but dance for rain
The hallowed dead in sacred ground
The elders
And we wash away their sins for them
Feel the spirit's of the old ones
Standing proud upon their race
And the testament to ancestors
That are never to retrace
Burn the flame of innocence
As they ride into the sun
Thinking now of our forefathers that
Are lying dead upon
Holy ground and sacred earth now
Revisit stolen youth
Lost in a lost world buried on sacred ground
Lost in a lost world lying on sacred ground
Lost in a lost world buried on sacred ground
Lost in a lost world lying on sacred ground
Lost in a lost world
Standing on sacred ground
Lost in a lost world lying on sacred ground
Will we ever heal our old wounds
Like forever darkness worn
Fighting for their lives again
So come on now don’t be afraid
This is where destiny lies
Just to let us breathe again
Put upon this earth to wander
And to walk, forever lost
With the ashes of our enemies
To live among our ghosts
Of our past fear nothing
Life is but a better path to joy
Nowhere to go, nowhere to run
Our whole nation overrun
Itself existence under threat
And soon will be none of us left
Remember names of all our dead now
And enemies that fled
Reaching for our sky forever free
A sadness that is proud
As the clouds all drift away now
Until we meet again
