OK, once again, posting all lyrics to first two Maiden lps plus bonus songs
"Sanctuary" and "Twilight Zone" (well, the UK and Japan versions don't have
those songs, and I've got the Japan versions). I've posted the first album 
already, so if you missed it, too bad. Don't miss your chance to save the
KILLERS set. Here it goes.

THE IDES OF MARCH

WRATHCHILD
I was born into a scene
Of angriness and greed
Of dominance and persecution

My mother was a queen
My dad I've never seen
I was never meant to be

And now I spend my time looking all around
For a man that's nowhere to be found
Until I find him, I'm never gonna stop searching
I'm gonna find my man, gonna travel around

'Cos' I'm a wrathchild
Well, I'm a wrathchild
Yeh, I'm a wrathchild
I'm coming to get you, ooh yeh

Say it doesn't matter 
Ain't nothing gonna alter
The course of my destination
I know I've got to find
Some serious piece of mind
Or I know I'll just go crazy

But now I spend my time looking all around
For a man that's nowhere to be found
Until I find him, I'm never gonna stop searching
I'm gonna find my man, gonna travel around

'Cos' I'm a wrathchild
Well, I'm a wrathchild
Yeh, I'm a wrathcild
I'm coming to get you, ooh yeh

MURDERS IN THE RUE MORGUE
I remember it as plain as day although it happened in the dark of night
I was strolling through the streets of Paris and it was cold it was starting
	to rain
And then I heard a piercing scream and I rushed to the scene of the crime
But all I found was the butchered remains of two girls lay side by side

Murders In The Rue Morgue
Someone call the Gendarmes
Murders in the Rue Morgue
Vite before the killers go free

There's some people coming down the street at last someone's heard my call
I can't understand why they're pointing at me, I never done nothing at all
But I must have got some blood on my hands because everybody's shouting at me
I can't speak French so I couldn't explain and like a fool I started running
	away

Murders in the Rue Morgue
Someone call the Gendarmes
Murders In The Rue Morgue
Runnin' from the arms of the law

And now I gotta get away from the arms of the law
All France is looking for me
I've gotta find my way to the border for sure
Down south to Italy

Murders in the Rue Morgue
Running from the Gendarmes
Murders in the Rue Morgue
I'm never going home

Well I made it to the border at last but I can't erase the scene from my mind
Anytime somebody stares at me, well I just start running blind
Well I'm moving through the shadows at night away from the staring eyes
Anyday they'll be looking for me 'Cause I know I show the signs of...

It took so long and I'm getting so tired, I'm running out of places to hide
Should I return to the scene of the crime where the two young victims died
If I could go to somebody for help it'd get me out of trouble for sure
But I know that it's on my mind that my doctor said I've done it before

ANOTHER LIFE
As I lay here lying on my bed
Sweet voices come into my head
What it is I wanna know
Please won't you tell me it's gotta go
There's a feeling that's inside me
Telling me to get away
But I'm so tired of living
I might as well end today

PRODIGAL SON
Listen to me Lamia, listen to what I've got to say
I've got these feelings and they won't go away
I've got these fears inside that'll bring me to my knees
Oh help me Lamia or I'm sure I'll die oh please

I feel unsettled now I know that I've done wrong
I've messed aroung with mystic things and magic for too long
I feel I'm being paid with this nightmare inside me
The devil's got a hold on my soul and he just won't let me be

I'm on my knees oh help me please
I'm on my knees, help me please
Oh Lamia please try to help me
The devil's got a hold of my soul and he won't let me be
Lamia I've got this curse, I'm turning to bad
The devil's got a hold of my soul and it's driving me mad
Oh

Oh Lamia please try to help me
The devil's got a hold of my soul and he won't let me be
Lamia I've got this curse, I'm turning to bad
The devil's got a hold of my soul, and it's driving me mad
Oh

GENGHIS KHAN

INNOCENT EXILE
My life is so empty
Nothing to live for
My mind is all confusion
'Cos' I defied the law
When you weren't there to help me
I lost my mind and ran
I never had no trouble
Before this night began

I'm running away, nowhere to go
I'm lost and tired and I just don't know, yeah
They say I killed a woman, they know it isn't true
They're just trying to frame me, and all because of you, yeah

KILLERS
You walk thru' the subway his eyes burn a hole in your back
A footstep behind you, he lunges prepared for attack
Scream for mercy, he laughs as he's watching you bleed
Killer behind you, his blood lust defies all his needs

My innocent victims are slaughtered with wrath and despite
The mocking religion of hatred that burns in the night
I have no one, I'm bound to destroy all this greed
A voice inside me compelling to staisfy me


I can see
What a knife's meant to be
And you'll never know
How I came to forsee, see, see

My faith in believing is stronger than lifelines and ties
With the glimmer of metal, my moment is ready to strike

Death call arises, a scream breaks the still of the night
Another tomorrow, remember to walk in the light
I have found you, and now there is no place to run
Excitement shakes me, oh God help me what have I done?

DRIFTER
Look out now, baby, won't you take me away
Sittin' here it's gonna be a new day
Gotta get my song and I can't go wrong
Gotta keep on roaming gotta sing my song

What you feeling when you hold me tight
I'm gonna cuddle up with you tonight
Gonna get you feeling so secure
Listen child don't you see there's a cure

Anywhere got to get you away
Feels so good, think it's gonna be a new day
I'm gonna get my song till I can't go on
I'm gonna keep on roaming gonna sing my song

I want you to sing it, sing it, sing it along
I want you to sing it, sing it, sing it along

TWILIGHT ZONE
She lays in bed at night and that is when I make my call
But when she stares at me she can't see nothing at all
Because you see I can't take no shape or form
It's been three long years since I've been gone

I can't get used to purgatory you know it really makes me cry
I'll never know the reason why I had to go Oh oh I'm crying
Oh, oh, oh, deep inside of me
Oh, oh, oh can't you see me?
Ah can't you see me?

I'm looking forward to her spirit coming over to me
I feel tempted to bring to over to see just what it's like to be
Hanging on the other side, I feel so lonely, it's a long time since I died

I try to show her that she's never gonna be alone
Because my spirit is imprisoned in the twilight zone

PURGATORY
Thinking of an age old dream
Places I have never seen
Fantasies lived times before
I split my brain melt through the floor

Over clouds my mind will fly
Forever now I can't think why
My body tries to leave my soul
is it me I just don't know

Memories rising from the past
The future's shadow overcast
Something clutching at my head
Thru' the darkness I'll be led

Oh another time, another place
Oh well another smile on another face
When you see me floating up beside you
You get the feeling that all my love's inside of you

Please take me away, take me away, so far away

OK, that's it. I'm done. Save this file because I won't post it again for a
long time (maybe much later next semester). 

If anyone wants, I can post lyrics to Def Leppard's HIGH 'N' DRY, PYROMANIA
(which is included in the CD), and maybe a few others, but I don't feel like
doing the Iron Maidens again for a while since I have to mail them so often.

Later.

"Inside the power cage, I can feel the music call my rage
It's paranoid, first degree. It's telling me that I'm not free.
I've got heavy metal music in my blood and I like to get it to you if I could"
