The Red And The Black (live At Ryogoku Kokugikan, Tokyo, Japan - Thursday 21st April 2016) Lyrics - Iron Maiden

The morals of life and the perils of death 

Take the wrong way out running out of breath 

Meet my match in the afterlife 

Suppress the demons that plague the night 

A tortured mind is a safe place to go 

But the truth lurks down in the dark below 

Step inside my inquisitive mind 

Are you scared at what you just might find 

See myself in the hall of mirrors 

A different shape every step I take 

A different mind every step of the line 

But in the end they are all mine 

Laughing sorrow inside your head 

Can't get out just a feeling of dread 

I know this burden's a heavy load 

A dark mistake never ending road

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

The black jack king and the red queen clash 

The artful dodger he counts his stash 

The joker's wild like an impish child 

While madame fortune she waits inside 

The good luck charm is overkill 

The tired old soldier says fire at will 

Planes overhead go search destroy 

The ones below human decoy 

I need somebody to save me 

Meanwhile we play the waiting game 

The clock is struck the horse is lame 

And when we think that this is done 

Chance your luck a four leafed one 

You hedge your bets the battle lost 

To wait in vain and count the cost 

The thin edged line 

Between good and bad 

And cast the luck be happy sad

I need somebody to save me 

The red and the black 

People don't want the truth 

Look in their eyes and you send them away 

The red and the black 

Fate and hypocrisy 

Burden's a heavy load there is no doubt 

The red and the black 

All out of luck again 

How many chances can anyone have 

The red and the black 

Treachery out to win 

There in the wrong place and at the wrong time 

I need somebody to save me
