2 Minutes To Midnight Lyrics - Powerslave - Iron Maiden

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 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

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

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 

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 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

It's all night

It's all night 

Midnight... All night!
