Quest For Fire Lyrics - Piece Of Mind - Iron Maiden

In a time when dinosaurs walked the earth 

When the land was swamp and caves were home 

In an age when prize possession was fire 

To search for landscapes men would roam. 

Then the tribes they came to steal their fire 

And the wolves they howled into the night 

As they fought a vicious angry battle 

To save the power of warmth and light. 

Drawn by quest for fire 

They searched all through the land 

Drawn by quest for fire 

Discovery of man. 

And they thought that when the embers died away 

That the flame of life had burnt and died 

Didn't know the sparks that made the fire 

Were made by rubbing stick and stone.

So they ploughed through the forest and swamps of danger 

And they fought the cannibal tribes and beasts 

In the search to find another fire 

To regain the power of light and heat. 

Drawn by quest for fire 

They searched across the land 

Drawn by quest for fire 

Discovery of man.
