Iron Maiden - Afraid To Shoot Strangers Lyrics






Lying awake at night I wipe the sweat from my brow
But it's not fear 'cos I'd rather go now
Trying to visualise the horrors that will lay ahead
The desert sand mound a burial ground

When it comes to the time
Are we partners in crime ?
When it comes to the time
We'll be ready to die

God let us go now and finish what's to be done
Thy Kingdom come
Thy shall be done... on earth

Trying to justify to ourselves the reasons to go
Should we live and let live
Forget or forgive

But how can we let them go on this way ?
The reign of terror corruption must end
And we know deep down there's no other way
No trust, no reasoning, no more to say

Afraid to shoot strangers
Afraid to shoot strangers.

  5. T.... V....

    Afraid to Shoot Strangers .... good version is live version with Blaze ( 1995) and Bruce ( 1992-1993). Song have continued in song Fortunes of War ( 1995) ... good version is version live ( 1995 . 1996) - the Steve Harris bass solo and madness crazy solos in instrumental passage.

  6. M.... I....

    Those riffs really make me cry...

  7. G.... M....

  8. M.... J....

    Lying awake at night I wipe the sweat
    From my brow
    But it's not the fear 'cause
    I'd rather go now

    Trying to visualize the horrors that
    Will lay ahead
    The desert sand mound a burial ground

    When it comes to the time
    Are we partners in crime?
    When it comes to the time
    We'll be ready to die

    God let us go now and finish what's
    To be done
    Thy Kingdom Come
    Thy shall be done, on earth

    Trying to justify to ourselves the
    Reasons to go
    Should we live and let live
    Forget or forgive

    But how can we let them go on this way?
    The reign of terror corruption must end
    And we know deep down there's
    No other way
    No trust, no reasoning, no more to say

    Afraid to shoot strangers
    Afraid to shoot strangers

  28. S.... D....

    Iron maiden really kicks major ass that is.why they.have lasted forty years!! No body can fill there shoes that is the truth and nobody will ever top them!! Bruce has one of the greatest voices of all time in my book these guys can still rock I do not believe that they are doing.it for the money like.a lot of bands.are they do it because they really love there fans and.it.makes.them very happy and why not they still enjoy doing what they are doing and it's great they still give a great show giving everything they got and that's real love I give Bruce a lot of credit.for.someone his age and the others as.well look at sir Paul McCartney at seventy seventy and he still prefroms and sir Richard Starkey he is almost eighty but.hey more power to them but Ringo looks fantastic and I hate to say this but he looks like an old lady you would that Paul would look as good as.ringo paul.was a very good looking guy in his younger days merry Christmas.and cheers up the irons always we love you maiden!!!!!🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🎸🎸 and have a bloody good time!!! maiden manic up the irons rock n roll🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🎸🎸🎸🎸🤘🤘🤘🤘

  29. Z.... E....

    2019 and still the best solo

  30. J.... C....

    Best heavy metal band in the world and for the next century

  31. M.... C....

    I love this SONG singed for Bruce Dickinson in1992 a voice Special not Is THIS world ....FEAR OF THE DARK ALBUM THE BEST OF HEAVY METAL .UP THE IRONS!!!".

  32. w.... b....

    🤘🤘🤘🇷🇸🇷🇸🇷🇸

  33. T.... ....

    How many km. just for listening the song again and again

  34. j.... a....

    2:43 and 5:44 is the best part!! The guitar is the best !! Let’s go “ Aftaid to shoot strangers”!! Iron Maiden

  35. M.... P....

    When I heard this song first in the ninetys, it was just another Maiden-song for me. But it began to grow and became a masterpiece. And it still grows.....

  36. G.... M....

    Cuando un tema la mayor parte de él lo llevan 2 guitarras je trabajan en común

  37. G.... M....

    Bueno.sin ser músico.lo mejor de Maiden siempre serán los rifffffffff

  38. G.... M....

    La diferencia le lo mejor es la guitarra los riffff. Son loejorrr4eereeeedd

  39. M.... A....

    One of best guitar melody ever....

  40. P.... R....

    so f u

  41. M.... ....

    Fani Chyłki meldować się! XD

  42. M.... P....

    ACDC e Rush talvez consegue se isso .

  43. M.... P....

    Iron e Metallica não precisa entrar o vocal para saber quem está tocando ,mesmo ouvindo pela primeira vez e se tirar o vocal vc sabe de quem é a música, isso acontece na minha opinião com raríssimas bandas ,amazing perfect wonderfull .

  44. E.... D....

    Bizim Türkler buraları işgal etmemişler daha kaç sene oldu.

    E.... D....

    Kimse gelip işgal etmez, ayrica çoluk çocugun ne işi var bilmezler ve anlamazlar böyle muzikleri

  45. F.... M....

    This song is so underrated!!! It's sad, this is a freaking masterpiece!!!

  46. G.... F....

    Se tem uma musica do Maiden que acho que o Blaze canta bem na era do Bruce é essa. Inclusive, acho um pouco melhor que a versão de estudio. De qualquer maneira, essa é uma puta musica. Dificil Iron Maiden ter musica ruim.

  47. I.... D....

    Όσοι δεν τους αρέσουν, τέτοια, τραγούδια, είναι, για, γέλια, και, κλάματα!

    I.... D....

    και κόμματα

  48. H.... T....

    It reminds me of my younger days like dope n syrup.

  49. d.... k....

  70. T.... ....

    4:18 some real Mega Man shit right here, I know a lot of that kind of music is influenced by classic metal and hard rock, but make it 8 bit and it really sounds straight up from a game

  71. C.... B....

    Medricas... 🖤💜💜

  72. D.... S....

    Steve harris com seu baixo implacável nessa música. Essa letra é sobre a guerra no oriente médio quando o Sadam Housein invadiu o Kwait em 1991.

  73. P.... R....

    One of the gem among almost all of them.

  74. O.... M....

    Este sim é um som maneiro pra fazer uma viagem no espaço sideral depois de fumar um baseado da hora

  75. J.... B....

    in the Lord's prayer "On Earth" reminds me of this song oddly when I try to say it.

  76. S.... B....

    La chanson qui m'a fait decouvert Iron Maiden.Que des souvenirs

  92. O.... A....

    Eelcom mex

  93. A.... R....

    This is one of the best tracks on Fear of the Dark, in my opinion. Underated, this song is. Fear of the Dark might be my favorite Iron Maiden album, when you get right down to it. Plus, the cover art should be immortalized and put up on the Sistine Chapel or something. It's just that cool.

  94. A.... L....

    Dave Murray, best guitar! 😎🎼🎸

  95. O.... f....

    Assim bom demais parabéns
