(Adrian Smith/Bruce Dickinson)
Kill for gain or shoot to maim
But we don't need a reason
The Golden Goose is on the loose
And never out of season
Some blackened pride still burns inside
This shell of bloody treason
Here's my gun for a barrel of fun
For the love of living death.
CHORUS
The killer's breed or the demon's seed,
The glamour, the fortune, the pain,
Go to war again, blood is freedom's stain,
But don't you pray for my soul anymore.
2 minutes to midnight
The hands that threaten doom.
2 minutes to midnight
To kill the unborn in the womb.
The blind men shout let the creatures out
We'll show the unbelievers
The napalm screams of human flames
Of a prime time Belsen feast...YEAH!
As the reasons for the carnage cut their meat and lick the gravy,
We oil the jaws of the war machine and feed it with our babies.
CHORUS
The body bags and little rags of children torn in two
And the jellied brains of those who remain to put the finger right on you.
As the madmen play on words and make us all dance to their song,
To the tune of starving millions to make a better kind of gun.
CHORUS
Midnight...all night...You have me thinking about it all of the time
It's so hard to get it out of my mind
(I want so bad to be with you)
When I start to dream about it, heaven becomes mine
And every image of an angel reflects your beauty
(I want to hold you once more)
I've been longing to tell you
About the visions that I've had
About that dreams of me and you
You left too quickly and left me alone
You never had to worry
My intentionms, they were true
The only thing that mattered is you
Because I'll forever love you
And I'll forever want you
And you, I can't live without
I swear there's no doubt
That I'll forever need you
I'll adore you
Every inch, every part
With every little bit of my heart
Baby, I can think of about a million reasons
Why you should be here with me
My love will flow endlessly
Baby we've gone so many places
But never where you wanted
You just had to ask and you'd receive
I want so much to have you
But I know you'll never hurt again
You've already seen it all
You're safer without the world
I only wish I could've told you how I felt inside
But I didn't know how to say it no matter how I tried
It's so easy to say it now
Because I fell in love the day the day that you came into my life
I've never been in love before
You've changed everything I think about
And it only goes to show
I'm so sorry I hurt you
I'm sorry I let you go
