Maiden England ’88
Can I play with madness? Give me the sense to wonder To wonder if I'm free Give me a sense of wonder To know I can be me Give me the strength to hold my head up Spit back in their face Don't need no key to unlock this door Gonna break down the walls, break out of this bad place Can I play with madness? The prophet stared at his crystal ball Can I play with madness? There's no vision there at all Can I play with madness? The prophet looked at me and laughed at me, ha, he said: Can I play with madness? He said, "You're blind, too blind to see" Oh, said, "You're too blind to see", mmm I screamed aloud to the old man I said, "Don't lie, don't say you don't know" I say, "You'll pay for this mischief In this world or the next" Oh, and then he fixed me with a freezing glance And the hell fires raged in his eyes He said, "Do you want to know the truth, son? Lord, I'll tell you the truth: Your soul's gonna burn in the lake of fire" Can I play with madness? The prophet stared at his crystal ball Can I play with madness? There's no vision there at all Can I play with madness? The prophet looked at me and laughed at me, ha-ha, he said: Can I play with madness? He said, "You're blind, too blind to see" Oh, "Listen to me," said the prophet Can I play with madness? The prophet stared at his crystal ball Can I play with madness? There's no vision there at all Can I play with madness? The prophet looked and he laughed at me, ha, he said: Can I play with madness? He said, "You're blind, too blind to see" Can I play with madness?

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 'Cause at five o'clock they take me to the gallows pole The sands of time for me are running low Running low, yeah When the priest comes to read me the last rites Take a look through the bars at the last sights Of a world that has gone very wrong for me Can it be that there's some sort of 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 fall, but why am I crying? After all, I'm not afraid of dying Don't I believe that there never is an end? As the guards march me out to the courtyard Somebody cries from a cell, "God be with you" If there's a God, why has He let me go? As I walk, my life drifts before me And though the end is near, I'm not sorry Catch my soul, it's willing to fly away Mark my words, believe my soul lives on Don't worry now that I have gone I've gone beyond to seek the truth When you know that your time is close at hand Maybe then you'll begin to understand Life down here is just a strange illusion Yeah, yeah, yeah Hallowed be thy name Yeah, yeah, yeah Hallowed be thy name Yeah

White man came across the sea He brought us pain and misery He killed our tribes, he killed our creed He 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 dust clouds and barren wastes Galloping hard on the plains Chasing the redskins back to their holes Fighting them at their own game Murder for freedom, the stab in the back Women and children are cowards, attack Run to the hills, run for your lives Run to the hills, run for your lives Soldier blue in the barren wastes Hunting and killing's their game Raping the women and wasting the men The only good Indians are tame Selling them whiskey and taking their gold Enslaving the young and destroying the old Run to the hills, run for your lives Run to the hills, run for your lives Yeah Oh, ow Run to the hills, run for your lives Run to the hills, run for your lives Run to the hills, run for your lives Run to the hills, run for your lives

Out of winter came a warhorse 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 alright 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 Oh, I can laugh at the wind (ha ha ha!) I can howl at the rain (Ow!) Down in the canyon Or out on 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 alright Just give me sanctuary from the law And love me tonight Tonight Love me tonight
