IRON MAIDEN

HISTORY

British heavy metal band, one of the highlights of the eighties, led by Steve Harris (1957). Created in 1977 by Steve Harris himself and guitarist Dave Murray in London working class district of East End, was baptized with the name of an instrument of torture in the Middle Ages (Iron Maden, meaning Iron Lady).

Probably the most iconic heavy metal band Iron Maiden has been instrumental in promoting the genre and influenced successive generations of musicians who were inspired by the unmistakable "sound Maiden". The impressive array of media into their live performances was unparalleled and set new standards when it comes to optical and acoustic effects are concerned. The thunderous rhythms at breakneck speed and the shrill voice of the soloist combined with a tremendous display lighting and many spooky symbols, including a skeleton three meters           

Eddy called the Knife, mascot of the band.

THE TROOPER

You'll Take My Life But I'll Take Yours Too 
You'll Fire Your Musket But I'll Run You Through 
So When You're Waiting For The Next Attack 
You'd Better Stand There's No Turning Back 

The Bugle Sounds And The Charge Begins 
But On This Battlefield No One Wins 
The Smell Of Acrid Smoke And Horses Breath 
As I Plunge On Into Certain Death 

Who Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh 
Who Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh 

The Horse He Sweats With Fear We Break To Run 
The Mighty Roar Of The Russian Guns 
And As We Race Toward The Human Wall 
The Screams Of Pain As My Comrades Fall 

We Hurdle Bodies That Lay On The Ground 
And The Russians Fire Another Round 
We Get So Near Yet So Far Away 
We Won't Live To Fight Another Day 

Who Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh 
Who Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh 

We Get So Close Near Enough To Fight 
When A Russian Gets Me In His Sights 
He Pulls The Trigger And I Feel The Blow 
A Burst Of Rounds Take My Horse Below 

And As I Lay There Gazing At The Sky 
My Body's Numb And My Throat Is Dry 
And As I Lay Forgotten And Alone 
Without A Tear I Draw My Parting Groan 

Who Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh 
Who Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh.
