Iron Maiden are an English heavy metal
band formed in Leyton,
East London, in 1975 by bassist and primary songwriter Steve Harris. The band's discography has grown to thirty-eight albums,
including sixteen studio albums, twelve live albums, four EPs, and seven compilations.
Pioneers of the new wave of
British heavy metal, Iron
Maiden achieved initial success during the early 1980s. After several line-up
changes, the band went on to release a series of UK and US platinum and gold
albums, including 1982's The Number of
the Beast,
1983's Piece of Mind, 1984's Powerslave, 1985's live release Live After Death, 1986's Somewhere in Time and 1988's Seventh Son
of a Seventh Son.
Since the return of lead vocalist Bruce Dickinson and guitarist Adrian Smith
in 1999, the band have undergone a resurgence in popularity, with
their 2010 studio offering, The Final Frontier, peaking at No. 1 in 28 countries and
receiving widespread critical acclaim. Their sixteenth studio album, The Book of Souls, was released on 4 September 2015 to similar
success.
Out in the street somebody's crying,
Out in the night the fires burn,
Maybe tonight somebody's crying,
Reached the point of no return.
Oh - my eyes they see but I can't believe,
Oh - my heart is heavy as I turn my back and leave.
Chorus:
Like the eagle and the dove,
Fly so high on wings above,
When all you see can only bring you sadness,
Like a river we will flow,
On towards the sea we go,
When all you do can only bring you sadness,
Out on the sea of madness.
Somewhere I hear a voice that's calling,
Out in the dark there burns a dream,
You got to hope when you are falling,
To find the world that you have seen.
Oh - my eyes they see but I can't believe,
Oh - my heart is heavy as I turn my back and leave.
Chorus:
Like the eagle and the dove,
Fly so high on wings above,
When all you see can only bring you sadness,
Like a river we will flow,
On towards the sea we go,
When all you do can only bring you sadness,
Out on the sea of madness.
Solo
It's madness,
The sun don't shine
On the sea of madness,
There ain't no wind to fill your sails,
Madness,
When all you see can only bring you sadness
On towards the sea we go
Out in the street somebody's crying,
Out in the night the fires burn,
Maybe tonight somebody's crying,
Reached the point of no return.
Oh - my eyes they see but I can't believe,
Oh - my heart is heavy as I turn my back and leave.
Chorus:
Like the eagle and the dove,
Fly so high on wings above,
When all you see can only bring you sadness,
Like a river we will flow,
On towards the sea we go,
When all you do can only bring you sadness,
Out on the sea of madness.
