IRON MAIDEN LYRICS

Purgatory

"Purgatory" (1981 Single)

1. Purgatory
2. Genghis Khan







1. 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,
Or is it me I just don't know
Memories rising from the past,
The future's shadow overcast
Something's clutching at my head,
Through the darkness I'll be led

Oh another time, another place,
Oh 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

(Solo: Dave Murray)

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

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,
Or is it me, I just don't know
Memories rising from the past,
The future's shadow overcast
Something's clutching at my head,
Through the darkness I'll be led

Oh another time, another place,
Oh another smile on another face
When you see me walking 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
Please take me away, take me away, so far away
Please take me away, take me away, so far away




2. Genghis Khan

You walk through 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 despise,
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 satisfy me.

I can see what a life'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?!
Oooh yeah, I've done it!
YEEEEAAAAAAAAHHHH!

You walk through the subway, my 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, my blood lust defies all my needs.
Oooh look out, I'm coming for you!
Ahahahaha!
