[Iron Maiden - The Great Unknown lyrics]
Winter softly falling to the ground
Calmly waiting don’t you hear a sound
When the world has fallen to the depths below
Where the future’s open and
The fear has grown
And the path to follow to the great unknown
Where the dark has fallen and
The seed is sown
In the selfish hearts of some
The nightmare’s coming
With the spilling blood of others
Now wringing through
Now the cup is spilling over
Wake to news of death
And the prophecy of sages destiny is met
To the depths of human mind
The cry is burning with the mentor’s anger
Of the lesson ringing true
And for those who live by and
Are dying by the sword
They will take their ideals with them
Justify their end
Where the fools are lying and
The meek are crying
Where the wolves are preying
On the weak alone where the sons are dying
Hear their mothers crying
And the distant sound of fire begins again
Never ending the desires of men
It’ll never be the same or calm again
In a time of changing hearts
And great unknown
It’ll be the damnation and end of us all
Where the fools are lying and
The meek are crying
Where the wolves are preying
On the weak alone where the sons are dying
Hear their mothers crying
And the distant sound of fire begins again
Never ending the desires of men
It’ll never be the same or calm again
In a time of changing hearts
And great unknown
It’ll be the damnation and end of us all
When the world has fallen and we stand alone
Calmly waiting don’t you hear a sound
When the world has fallen to the depths below
Where the future’s open and
The fear has grown
And the path to follow to the great unknown
Where the dark has fallen and
The seed is sown
In the selfish hearts of some
The nightmare’s coming
With the spilling blood of others
Now wringing through
Now the cup is spilling over
Wake to news of death
And the prophecy of sages destiny is met
To the depths of human mind
The cry is burning with the mentor’s anger
Of the lesson ringing true
And for those who live by and
Are dying by the sword
They will take their ideals with them
Justify their end
Where the fools are lying and
The meek are crying
Where the wolves are preying
On the weak alone where the sons are dying
Hear their mothers crying
And the distant sound of fire begins again
Never ending the desires of men
It’ll never be the same or calm again
In a time of changing hearts
And great unknown
It’ll be the damnation and end of us all
Where the fools are lying and
The meek are crying
Where the wolves are preying
On the weak alone where the sons are dying
Hear their mothers crying
And the distant sound of fire begins again
Never ending the desires of men
It’ll never be the same or calm again
In a time of changing hearts
And great unknown
It’ll be the damnation and end of us all
When the world has fallen and we stand alone
