라이브 앨범으로는 5번째 정규 앨범이 되는 본작은 2001년 1월, 브라질의 리우 데 자네이로에서 있었던 실황을 담고 있다. 1985년에 시작된 남반구에서 오랜 역사와 족히 수십만 이상이 모이는 가장 거대한 스케일로 유명한 이 록 페스티발은 특히 유난히 광적인 걸로 소문이 자자한 브라질의 관객들과 함께 하는 것이라 언제나 에너지로 들끓는 걸로도 잘 알려져 있다. 자칫 광기어린 관객들에게 휘둘릴 수도 있는 이 무대에서 아이언 메이든의 관록은 진정 빛나는 것이었다. 때로는 조이면서, 때로는 최고조의 흥분 상태로 몰아가면서 완전한 압도가 무언가를 확실히 보여주었다. 트리풀 기타가 뿜어내는 최강의 화력은 돌아온 영웅 브루스 디킨슨은 아이언 메이든의 오리지날리티를 확인시키며 그들의 진면목을 확인시켰다. 무엇보다도 2시간이 넘는 짧지 않은 공연 시간 내내 조금도 페이스를 잃지 않고, 관객으로 하여금 딴 생각을 할 만한 여유를 전혀 주지 않는 공격성으로 균형과 긴장을 이어가는데에는 경의를 표함이 마땅하다. 전체적으로 인트로인 `Authur`s Farewell`을 포함 19곡의 트랙 리스트는 신작에서 6곡, 브루스 디킨슨을 대신해 잠시 밴드에 머물렀던 브레이즈 베일리 재적 시절에서 2곡이 선정되었고, 나머지는 고정 인기 레파토리이며 검증된 불변의 명곡들로 짜여져 있다. 특기할 만한 것은 베일리가 불렀던 `Sign of the Cross`, `The Clansman`인데, 작곡에 전혀 개입하지 않았음에도 불구하고 드라마틱한 곡의 전개를 잘 살리고 잇는 디킨슨은 진정 가공할 만한 보컬리스트임을 재확인시키고 있다는 점이다. 본작은 정확한 숫자를 집계하기조차 불가능한 수십만의 관중들이 뿜어내는 열광적인 에너지와 관록, 테크닉, 그리고 여전한 에너지로 충만한 아이언 메이든이 함께 이룩해낸 마법의 순간의 재현이다.<BR><BR>수입국가- HOLLAND .... ....
Hand of fate is moving and the finger points to you He knocks you to your feet and so what are you gonna do Your tongue was frozen now you've got something to say The piper at the gates of dawn is calling you his way
You watch the world exploding every single night Dancing in the sun a new born in the light Say goodbye to gravity and say goodbye to death Hello to eternity and live for every breath
Your time will come Your time will come Your time will come Your time will come
The ferryman wants his money you ain't gonna give it back He can push his own boat as you set off up the track Nothing you can contemplate will ever be the same Every second is a new spark, sets the universe aflame
You watch the world exploding every single night Dancing in the sun a new born in the light Brothers and their fathers joining hands and make a chain The shadow of the Wicker Man is rising up again
Your time will come Your time will come Your time will come Your time will come
Your time will come Your time will come Your time will come Your time will come
Your time will come Your time will come Your time will come Your time will come
Your time will come Your time will come Your time will come Your time will come
I have sailed to many lands, now I make my final journey On the bow I stand, west is where I go Through the night I plough, still my heart, calculate and pray As the compass swings, my will is strong, I will not be led astray Mysteries of time clouds that hide the sun But I know, but I know, but I know
I see the ghosts of navigators but they are lost As they sail into the sunset they'll count the cost As their skeletons accusing emerge from the sea The sirens of the rocks, they beckon me
Take my heart and set it free, carried forward by the waves Nowhere left to run, navigator's son, Chasing rainbows all my days
Where I go I do not know, I only know the place I've been Dreams they come and go, ever shall be so, Nothing's real until you feel
I steer between the crashing rocks, the sirens call my name Lash my hands onto the helm, blood surging with the strain I will not fail now as sunrise comes the darkness left behind For eternity I follow on there is no other way Mysteries of time clouds that hide the sun But I know, I know
I see the ghosts of navigators but they are lost As they sail into the sunset they'll count the cost As their skeletons accusing emerge from the sea The sirens of the rocks, they beckon me
Take my heart and set it free, carried forward by the waves Nowhere left to run, Navigator's son Chasing rainbows all my days
Where I go I do not know, I only know the place I've been Dreams they come and go, ever shall be so Nothing's real until you feel
I see the ghosts of navigators but they are lost As they sail into the sunset they'll count the cost As their skeletons accusing emerge from the sea The sirens of the rocks, they beckon me
Take my heart and set it free, carried forward by the waves Nowhere left to run, Navigator's son Chasing rainbows all my days
Where I go I do not know, I only know the place I've been Dreams they come and go, ever shall be so Nothing's real until you feel
Dying swans twisted wings, beauty not needed here Lost my love, lost my life, in this garden of fear I have seen many things, in a lifetime alone Mother love is no more, bring this savage back home
Wilderness house of pain, makes no sense of it all Close this mind dull this brain, Messiah before his fall What you see is not real, those who know will not tell All is lost sold your souls to this brave new world
A brave new world, in a brave new world A brave new world, in a brave new world In a brave new world, a brave new world In a brave new world, a brave new world
Dragon kings dying queens, where is salvation now Lost my life lost my dreams, rip the bones from my flesh Silent screams laughing here, dying to tell you the truth You are planned and you are damned in this brave new world
A brave new world, in a brave new world A brave new world, in a brave new world In a brave new world, a brave new world In a brave new world, a brave new world
A brave new world, in a brave new world A brave new world, in a brave new world In a brave new world, a brave new world In a brave new world, a brave new world
I was born into a scene of angriness and greed, and dominance and persecution. My mother was a queen, my dad I've never seen, I was never meant to be. And now I spend my time looking all around, For a man that's nowhere to be found. Until I find him I'm never gonna stop searching, I'm gonna find my man, gonna travel around.
Chorus: 'Cos I'm a wrathchild, well I'm a wrathchild. Yeah I'm a wrathchild. I'm coming to get you, oooh yeah.
Say it doesn't matter ain't nothin' gonna alter the course of my destination. I know I've got to find some serious piece of mind, or I know I'll go crazy. But now I spend my time looking all around, For a man thats nowhere to be found. Until I find him I'm never gonna stop searching, I'm gonna find my man, gonna travel around.
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.
The killers 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 out babies.
The killers 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 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.
The killers 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.
And if you're taking a walk through the garden of life What do you think you'd expect you would see? Just like a mirror reflecting the moves of your life And in the river reflections of me
Just for a second a glimpse of my father I see And in a movement he beckons to me And in a moment the memories are all that remain And all the wounds are reopening again
And as you look all around at the world in dismay What do you see, do you think we have learned Not if you're taking a look at the war-torn affray Out in the streets where the babies are burned
There are time when I feel I'm afraid for the world There are times I'm ashamed of us all When you're floating on all the emotion you feel And reflecting the good and the bad
Will we ever know what the answer to life really is? Can you really tell me what life is? Maybe all the things that you know that are precious to you Could be swept away by fate's own hand
When you think that we've used all our chances And the chance to make everything right Keep on making the same old mistakes Makes untipping the balance so easy When we're living our lives on the edge Say a prayer on the book of the dead
Eleven saintly shrouded men silhouettes stand against the sky one in front with a cross held high come to wash my sins away
Standing alone in the wind and rain feeling the fear that is growing Sensing the change in the tide again caught by the storm that is brewing Feel the anxiety hold off the fear some of the doubt in the things you believe Now that your faith will be put to the test nothing to do but await what is coming Why is then God still protecting me even when I don't deserve it? Though I am blessed with an inner strength some they would call it a penance Why am I meant to face this alone asking the question time and again Praying to God won't keep me alive Inside my head feel the fear start to rise...
They'll be saving their prayers when the moment comes there'll be penance to pay when it's judgement day And the guilty'll bleed when that moment comes they'll be coming to claim, take your soul away
The sign of the cross The name of the rose A fire in the sky The sign of the cross
They'll be coming to bring the eternal flame They'll be bringing us all immortality Holding comunion so the world be blessed my creator, my God, lay my soul to rest
The sign of the cross The name of the rose A fire in the sky The sign of the cross
Lost the love of heaven above Chose the lust of the earth below Eleven saintly shrouded men Came to wash my sins away
You'll take my life but I'll take yours too You'll fire your musket but I'll run you through So when you're waiting for the next attack You'd better stand there's no turning back.
The bugle sounds and the charge begins But on this battlefield no one wins The smell of acrid smoke and horses breath As I plunge on into certain death.
The horse he sweats with fear we break to run The mighty roar of the Russian guns And as we race towards the human wall The screams of pain as my comrades fall
We hurdle bodies that lay on the ground And the Russians fire another round We get so near yet so far away We won't live to fight another day.
간주
We get so close near enough to fight When a Russian gets me in his sights He pulls the trigger and I feel the blow A burst of rounds take my horse below.
And as I lay there gazing at the sky My body's numb and my throat is dry And as I lay forgotten and alone Without a tear I draw my parting groan
Have you ever felt The future is the past But you don't know how? A reflected dream Of a captured time Is it really now, is it really happening?
Don't know why I feel this way Have I dreamt this time, this place? Something vivid comes again into my mind And I think I've seen your face Seen this room, been in this place Something vivid comes again into my mind
All my hopes and expectation Looking for an explanation Have I found my destination? I just can't take no more
The dream is true (x4)
Think I've heard your voice before Think I've said these words before Something makes me feel I just might lose my mind Am I still inside my dream? Is this a new reality Something makes me feel that I have lost my mind
All my hopes and expectation Looking for an explanation Coming to the realisation That I can't see for sure
(chorus:) I only dream in black and white I only dream 'cause I'm alive I only dream in black and white To save me from myself
I only dream in black and white I only dream 'cause I'm alive I only dream in black and white Please save me from myself
The dream is true (x4)
I get up put on the light Dreading the oncoming night Scared to fall asleep and dream the dream again
Nothing that I contemplate Nothing that I can compare To letting loose the demons deep inside my head
Dread to think what might be stirring That my dream is reoccurring Got to keep away from drifting Saving me from myself
(chorus) (x2)
Lost in dream of mirrors Lost in a paradox lost and time is spinning Lost a nightmare I retrace
Lost a hell that I revisit Lost another time and place Lost a parallel existence Lost a nightmare I retrace
Walk alone in the hills with the wind in your face It feels good to be proud and be free and part of a race That is part of a clan and to live on highlands And the air that you breathe so pure and so clean
When alone on the hills With the wind in your hair With a longing to feel Just to be free
Is it right to believe in the need to be free It's a time when you die and without asking why Can't you see what they do they are grinding us down They are taking our land that belongs to the clans
Not alone with a dream Just want to be free With a need to belong I am a clansman
Freedom! (x4)
It's a time wrought with fear it's a land wrought with change
Ancestors could hear What is happening now They would turn in their graves they would all be ashamed That the land of the free has been written in chains And I know what I want
When the timing is right Then I'll take what is mine I am the clansman
And I swear to defend And we'll fight to the end And I swear that I'll never be taken alive And I know that we'll stand and we'll fight for our land And I swear that my bairns Will be born free
And I know what I want When the timing is right Then I'll take what is mine I am the clansman .....
Freedom!
No, no we can't let them take anymore No we can't let them take anymore We're the land of the free Freedom
Is it right to believe in the need to be free It's a time when you die and without asking why Can't you see what they do they are grinding us down They are taking our land that belongs to the clans
Not alone with a dream Just want to be free With a need to belong I am a clansman
And I know what I want When the timing is right Then I'll take what is mine I am the clansman Freedom
And I know what I want When the timing is right Then I'll take what is mine I am the clansman
Love is a razor and I walked the line on that silver blade Slept in the dust with his daughter, her eyes red with The slaughter of innocence But I will pray for her I will call her name out loud I would bleed for her If only I could see her now
Living on a razors edge Balancing on a ledge Living on a razors edge
The evil that men do lives on and on..... The evil that men do lives on and on..... The evil that men do lives on and on..... The evil that men do lives on and on.....
Circle of fire my baptism of joy at an end it seems The seventh lamb slain, the book of life opens before me But I will pray for you And some day I may return Don't you cry for me Beyond is where I learn
I am a man who walks alone And when I'm walking a dark road At night or strolling through the park
When the light begins to change I sometimes feel a little strange A little anxious when it's dark.
Fear of the dark, fear of the dark I have a constant fear that something's always near Fear of the dark, fear of the dark I have a phobia that someone's always there
Have you run your fingers down the wall And have you felt your neck skin crawl When you're searching for the light? Sometimes when you're scared to take a look At the corner of the room You've sensed that something's watching you.
Have you ever been alone at night Thought you heard footsteps behind And turned around and no-one's there? And as you quicken up your pace You find it hard to look again Because you're sure there's someone there.
Watching horror films the night before Debating witches and folklore The unknown troubles on your mind Maybe your mind is playing tricks You sense, and suddenly eyes fix On dancing shadows from behind.
Fear of the dark, fear of the dark I have a constant fear that something's always near Fear of the dark, fear of the dark I have a phobia that someone's always there.
When I'm walking a dark road I am a man who walks alone ..........
Won't you come into my room, I wanna show you all my wares. Want to see your blood, Want to stand and stare. See the blood begin to flow as it pours upon the floor. Iron Maiden can't be fought, Iron Maiden can't be sought.
Oh Well, wherever, Wherever you are, Iron Maiden's gonna get you, No matter how far. See the blood flow watching it shed Up above my head. Iron Maiden wants you for dead.
Won't you come into my room, I wanna show you all my wares. I just want to see your blood, I just want to stand and stare. See the blood begin to flow As it pours upon the floor. Iron Maiden can't be fought, Iron Maiden can't be sought.
Oh Well, wherever, Wherever you are, Iron Maiden's gonna get you, No matter how far. See the blood flow watching it shed Up above my head. Iron Maiden wants you for dead.
Won't you come into my room, I wanna show you all my wares. I just want to see your blood, I just want to stand and stare. See the blood begin to flow As it pours upon the floor. Iron Maiden can't be fought, Iron Maiden can't be sought.
Oh Well, wherever, Wherever you are, Iron Maiden's gonna get you, No matter how far. See the blood flow watching it shed Up above my head. Iron Maiden wants you for dead!
(Steve Harris) "Woe to you, Oh Earth and Sea, for the Devil sends the beast with wrath, because he knows the time is short... Let him who hath understanding reckon the number of the beast for it is a human number, its number is Six hundred and sixty six."
I left alone my mind was blank I needed time to think to get the memories from my mind
What did I see can I believe that what I saw that night was real and not just fantasy
Just what I saw in my old dreams were they reflections of my warped mind staring back at me
'Cos in my dream it's always there the evil face that twists my mind and brings me to despair
The night was black was no use holding back 'Cos I just had to see was someone watching me In the mist dark figures move and twist Was this all for real or some kind of hell 666 the number of the beast Hell and fire was spawned to be released
Torches blazed and sacred chants were praised As they start to cry hands held to the sky In the night the fires burning bright The ritual has begun Satan's work is done 666 the number of the beast Sacrifice is going on tonight
This can't go on I must inform the law Can this still be real or just some crazy dream But I feel drawn towards the evil chanting hordes They seem to mesmerise me ... can't avoid their eyes 666 the number of the beast 666 the one for you and me
I'm coming back I will return And I'll possess your body and I'll make you burn I have the fire I have the force I have the power to make my evil take it's course
(Harris) I'm waiting in my cold cell when the bell begins to chime Reflecting on my past life and it doesn't have much time Cos at 5 o'clock they take me to the Gallows Pole The sands of time for me are running low
When the priest comes to read me the last rites I take a look through the bars at the last sights Of a world that has gone very wrong for me
Can it be there's been some sort of an error Hard to stop the surmounting terror Is it really the end not some crazy dream
Somebody please tell me that I'm dreaming It's not easy to stop from screaming But words escape me when I try to speak Tears they flow but why am I crying After all am I not afraid of dying Don't believe that there never is an end
As the guards march me out to the courtyard Someone calls from a cell "God be with you" If there's a God then why has he let me die?
As I walk all my life drifts before me And though the end is near I'm not sorry Catch my soul cos it's willing to fly away
Mark my words please believe my soul lives on Please don't worry now that I have gone I've gone beyond to see the truth
When you know that your time is close at hand Maybe then you'll begin to understand Life down there is just a strange illusion
Out of the winter came a war horse of steel I've never killed a woman before, but I know how it feels I know you'd have gone insane if you saw what I saw So now I've got to look for Sanctuary from the law I met up with a stranger last night To keep me alive He spends all his money on gambling and guns to survive I know you'd have gone insane if you saw what I saw So now I've got to look for Sanctuary from the law So give me sanctuary from the law And I'll be all right Just give me Sanctuary from the law And love me tonight...tonight I know you'd have gone insane if you saw what I saw So now I've got to look for Sanctuary from the law So give me sanctuary from the law And I'll be all right Just give me Sanctuary from the law And love me tonight...tonight I can laugh at the wind, I can howl at the rain Down in the Canyon or out in the plains I know you'd have gone insane if you saw what I saw So now I've got to look for Sanctuary from the law So give me sanctuary from the law And I'll be all right Just give me Sanctuary from the law And love me tonight....tonight Love me tonight
White man came across the sea Brought us pain and misery Killed our tribes killed our creed Took our game for his own need
We fought him hard we fought him well Out on the plains we gave him hell But many came too much for Cree Oh will we ever be set free?
Riding through dustclouds and barren wastes Galloping hard on the plains Chasing the redskins back to their holes Fighting them at their own game Murder for freedom a stab in the back Women and children and cowards attack
Run to the hills run for your lives Run to the hills run for your lives
Soldier blue on the barren wastes Hunting and killing their game Raping the women and wasting the men The only good Indians are tame Selling them whisky and taking their gold Enslaving the young and destroying the old
Run to the hills run for your lives (repeat to end)
