IRON MAIDEN LYRICS
"Run to the Hills" (1982 Single)
1. Run To The Hills
2. Total Eclipse
1. Run To The Hills
The white man came across the sea,
He brought us pain and misery
He killed our tribes he killed our creed,
He took our game for his own need
We fought him hard we fought him well,
Out on the plains we gave him hell
But many came to much for Cree,
Oh will we ever be set free?
Riding through dust clouds and barren wastes, galloping hard on the plains
Chasing the redskins back to their holes, fighting them at their own game
Murder for freedom the stab in the back, women and children and cowards attack
Run to the hills, run for your lives
Run to the hills, run for your lives
Soldiers blue in the barren wastes, hunting and killing the game
Raping the women and wasting the men, the only good Indians are tame
Selling them whiskey and taking their gold, enslaving the young and destroying the old
Run to the hills, run for your lives
Run to the hills, run for your lives
(Solo: Dave Murray)
Run to the hills, run for your lives
Run to the hills, run for your lives
2. Total Eclipse
Cold as steel the darkness waits, its hour will come
A cry of fear for our children worshipping the sun
Mother nature's black revenge on those who waste her life
War babies in the garden of Eden shall turn our ashes to ice
Sunrise is gone, freezing up the fires
Sunrise is gone, numbing all desires
Sunrise is gone, Sunrise is gone
Around the world the people stop with terror-stricken eyes
A shadow cast upon them all to crush them like a fly
In the icy rain and whiplashed seas there's nowhere left to run
The hammer blows of winter fall like a hurricane
Sunrise is gone, freezing up the fires
Sunrise is gone, numbing all desires
Around the world the nations wait for some wise words from their leading light
You know it's not only madmen who listen to fools
"Is this the end?" the millions cried clutching their riches as they died
Those who survive must weather the storm
(Solo: Dave Murray)
(Solo: Adrian Smith)
Gone are the days when man looked down,
They've taken away his sacred crown
To be so free, it took so long,
It's not the journeys end, it's just begun
