If Eternity Should Fail Lyrics - The Book Of Souls - Iron Maiden

Here is the soul of a man 

Here in this place for the taking 

Clothen in white 

Stand in the light 

Here is the soul of a man 

Time to speak with the shaman again 

Conjure the jester again 

Black dog in the ruins is howling my name 

So here is the soul of a man 

When the world was virgin 

Before the coming of man 

Just a solemn witness 

The beginning of the end

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

From a world of magma 

To a cold rock face 

The ascent of madness 

And the human race 

We are strange believers 

All of us 

There are stranger truths 

In molten rust 

We rise from slumber 

It calls our name 

Recalls our number 

how bad we come 

Reefing a sail on the edge of the world 

If eternity should fail 

Waiting in line for the ending of time 

If eternity should fail 

Photos 

Reefing a sail on the edge of the world 

If eternity should fail 

Waiting in line for the ending of time 

If eternity should fail 

To God's illusion 

Which I recall 

Was our delusion 

Before the fall 

The angels come 

And angels go 

But the lord of light 

Shining below 

Eternal blackness 

Beyond the stars 

We think our wisdom 

Will get that far 

At the master's table 

The table's bare 

No line of plenty 

Devastation, despair 

Reefing a sail on the edge of the world 

If eternity should fail 

Waiting in line for the ending of time 

If eternity should fail 

Reefing a sail on the edge of the world 

If eternity should fail 

Waiting in line for the ending of time 

If eternity should fail 

Reefing a sail on the edge of the world 

If eternity should fail 

Waiting in line for the ending of your time 

If eternity should fail 

Reefing a sail on the edge of the world 

If eternity should fail 

Waiting in line for the ending your time 

If eternity should fail 

Reefing a sail on the edge of the world 

If eternity should fail 

Waiting in line for the ending of time 

If eternity should fail 

Reefing a sail on the edge of the world 

If eternity should fail 

Waiting in line for the ending of time 

If eternity should fail 

Good day 

My name is necropolis 

I am formed of the dead 

I am the harvester of the soul 

And I suck the lives from my bed 

I own two sons, I gave them breath 

And I fill their living corpses with my bile 

What humanity I knew I have long forgotten 

For me, eternity is nothing but a short while
