Twenty-five years and my life is still

I'm trying to get up that great big hill of hope

For a destination

I realized quickly when I knew I should

That the world was made up for this

Brotherhood of man

For whatever that means

And so I cry sometimes when I'm lying in bed

Just to get it all out what's in my head

And I, I am feeling a little peculiar

And so I wake in the morning and I step outside

And I take deep breath

And I get real high

And I scream from the top of my lungs

What's going on?

And I say, hey, yeah, yeah-eah

Hey, yeah, yeah

I said, hey! What's goin' on?

And I sing, hey, yeah, yeah-eah

Hey, yeah, yeah

I said, hey! What's going on?

And I try, oh, my God, do I try

I try all the time

In this institution

And I pray, oh, my God, do I pray

I pray every single day

For a revolution

And so I cry sometimes when I'm lying in bed

Just to get it all out what's in my head

And I, I am feeling a little peculiar

And so I wake in the morning and I step outside

And I take deep breath

And I get real high

And I scream from the top of my lungs

What's going on?

And I say, hey, yeah, yeah-eah

Hey, yeah, yeah

I said, hey! What's goin' on?

And I sing, hey, yeah, yeah-eah

Hey, yeah, yeah

I said, hey! What's going on?

And I say, hey, yeah, yeah-eah

Hey, yeah, yeah

I said, hey! What's goin' on?

And I sing, hey, yeah, yeah-eah

Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

I said, hey! What's going on?

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Twenty-five years of my life is still

I'm trying to get up that great big hill of hope

For a destination.

GENRE: HEAVY METAL

YEAR: 1990

No Prayer for the Dying is the eighth studio album by English heavy metal band Iron Maiden. It marks their first line-up change since 1982; guitarist Adrian Smith left the band during the pre-production phase, unhappy with the musical direction it was taking, and only having contributed to one song, "Hooks in You". Smith was replaced by Janick Gers, who had previously worked with singer Bruce Dickinson on his first solo-album, Tattooed Millionaire, and had also worked with Ian Gillan, former Marillion singer Fish, and new wave of British heavy metal band, White Spirit.

Although it received generally mixed to negative reviews, the album peaked at No. 2 in the UK Albums Chart and contains the band's only UK Singles Chart No. 1, "Bring Your Daughter... to the Slaughter".

Mother Russia, how are you sleeping

Middle winter cold winds blow

from the snowflakes drifting

swirling round like ghosts in the snow

Mother Russia, poetry majestic

tells the time of a great empire

turning round the old man ponders reminiscing an age gone by

Mother Russia

Dance of the Tzars

Hold up your heads

Be proud of what you are

now it has come

Freedom at last

turning the tides of history

and your past

Mother Russia

Dance of tzars

Hold up your head

remember who you are

can you release

the anger, the grief

can you be happy

now your people are free

ALL I HAVE TO DO IS DREAM

Drea-ea-ea-ea-eam, dream, dream, dream

Drea-ea-ea-ea-eam, dream, dream, dream

When I want you in my arms

When I want you and all your charms

Whenever I want you, all I have to do is

Drea-ea-ea-ea-eam, dream, dream, dream

When I feel blue in the night

And I need you to hold me tight

Whenever I want you, all I have to do is

Drea-ea-ea-ea-eam

I can make you mine, taste your lips of wine

Anytime night or day

Only trouble is, gee whiz

I'm dreamin' my life away

I need you so that I could die

I love you so and that is why

Whenever I want you, all I have to do is

Drea-ea-ea-ea-eam, dream, dream, dream,

I can make you mine, taste your lips of winw

Anytime night or day

Only trouble is, gee whiz

I'm dreamin' my life away

I need you so that I could die

I love you so and that is why

Whenever I want you, all I have to do is

Drea-ea-ea-ea-eam, dream, dream, dream,

Drea-ea-ea-ea-eam, dream, dream, dream,

Drea-ea-ea-ea-eam, dream, dream, dream.

I guess this time you're really leaving

I heard your suitcase say goodbye

And as my broken heart lies bleeding

You say true love it's suicide

You say you've cried a thousand rivers

And now you're swimming from the shore

You left me drowning in my tears

And you won't save me anymore

I'm praying to God you give me one more chance, girl

I'll be there for you

These five words I swear to you

When you breathe I want to be the air for you

I'll be there for you

I'd live and I'd die for you

I'd steal the sun from the sky for you

Words can't say what love can do

I'll be there for you

I know you know we've had some good times

Now they have their own hiding place

I can promise you tomorrow

But I can't buy back yesterday

And baby you know my hands are dirty

But I wanted to be your valentine

I'll be the water when you get thirsty, baby

When you get drunk, I'll be the wine

I'll be there for you

These five words I swear to you

When you breathe I want to be the air for you

I'll be there for you

I'd live and I'd die for you

I'd steal the sun from the sky for you

Words can't say what love can do

I'll be there for you

And I wasn't there when you were happy

And I wasn't there when you were down

I didn't mean to miss your birthday, baby

I wish I'd seen you blow those candles out

I'll be there for you

These five words I swear to you

When you breathe I want to be the air for you

I'll be there for you

I'd live and I'd die for you

I'd steal the sun from the sky for you

Words can't say what love can do

I'll be there for you.
