Iron Maiden - Children Of The Damned Lyrics






He's walking like a small child
But watch his eyes burn you away
Black holes in his golden stare
God knows he wants to go home

Children of the Damned
Children of the Damned
Children of the Damned
Children of the Damned

He's walking like a dead man
If he had lived he would crucified us all
Now he's standing on his last step
He thought "Oblivion? Well, it beckons us all"

Children of the Damned
Children of the Damned
Children of the Damned
Children of the Damned

Now it's burning his hands, he's turning to laugh
Smiles as the flame sears his flesh
Melting his face, screaming in pain
Peeling the skin from his eyes
Watch him die according to plan
He's dust on ground, what did we learn?

Ooooooooo-o-o-o-o-ooh
Ooooooooo-o-o-o-o-ooh

You're children of the Damned
Your back's against the wall
You turn into the light
You're burning in the night
You're children of the Damned
Like candles watch them burn
Burning in the light
You'll burn again tonight
Children of the Damned

  21. P.... H....

    Brasil huuuuruuu

  22. T.... D....

    Song is dope as hell, but Children of the Grave's lyrics better describe the perils children of the earth today are up against. Satanic Panic was an Illuminati ploy, they made money off of both sides of it. Cheers.

  23. F.... i....

    If iron maiden was cheese, I would eat it

    F.... i....

    Who wouldn't

  24. R.... Y....

    Just change it to 1.25 speed and enjoy!

  25. D.... C....

    This song was made based on the old '60's black and white English science fiction/horror movie of the same name.

  26. P.... A....

    grande la renga

  27. R.... R....

    Sounds similar to Sonata Arctica's cover of Fade to Black

  28. c.... ....

    Bass and drums seem to be an unique instrument...
    What a band!

  29. M.... B....

    La Renga: La balada del diablo y la muerte

    Iron Maiden plagiando a La Renga.

    N.... M....

    La renga!,,,,jajaj no tiene nada que hacer al lado de Maiden.jaja

    N.... M....

    @yolanda amarilla ¡¡POBRE LA RENGA,,,QUE COMPARACION POCO ILUSTRE¡¡¡¡

  31. B.... ....

    Why does the very beginning kind of sort of sound like the beginning of the Unforgiven 2

    B.... ....

    That's exactly the question I was searching for man... haha

    B.... ....

    It actually sounds like Fade To Black.

    B.... ....

    @Rolando Hernandez Well yeah, the first few seconds, but then the electric guitar that comes in sounds almost identical to The Unforgiven 2

    B.... ....

    Bruticus you’re right. I just listened to The Unforgiven 2.

  32. K.... K....

    My late mother would only listen to this album Motley Crue too fast for love. Judas Priest point of entry, turbo, AC/DC all Bon Scott. Krokus also. Not bad when you’re only thirteen/ fourteen. Love and miss her every day.RIP 24-10-2018. Born 4-3-51 gone to cancer yet I survive when both diagnosed same day

  36. W.... D....

  37. L.... C....

    The instrumental intro to this song, always reminds me of another song instrumental intro from the band "Kraftschlag" the folk German song "Mein Name Is Deutschland" also another beautiful song ;)

  38. G.... H....

    Just want to Apologize Mom and Me were not supposed to live thru this, Being the Scummy People we are. All of the Really Nice People that have Stolen so much that have been inconvenienced by not getting away with these CRIMES.

  39. C.... C....

  41. R.... H....

    I was in the 7th grade when I bought this cd

  42. G.... H....

    All these years of Isolation pretty much Destroyed me. Nothing I do did whatever is good enough. So it seems it would break the planet to get some money to us. To Depressed to care and will never ask again.

  43. R.... R....

    Probably my favorite Maiden song.
    (followed by Purgatory, Genghis Khan, Phantom of the Opera, Hallowed Be Thy Name,
    22 Acacia Avenue, To Tame A Land, etc. etc....)

  44. j.... c....

    You know that We are all The Children Damned,till the end of time.

  60. D.... M....

    that wasn't children of the damned...!!!

  61. M.... L....

    As a Christian man, I love the lyrics: "If he had lived, he would have crucified us all". Who else but Jesus fits this description? One man sacrificed himself ("Watch him die according to plan") for the rest of us. True love is sacrificial. "Oblivion beckons us all"...We are all headed for an eternal destiny. Without Jesus, we have no hope at all. This is my worship music.

    M.... L....

    Mark Ledyard Look for professional help.

    M.... L....

    @Oscar Balsas Romero For what?

  62. A.... I....

    Thats fuckin Iron Maiden

  63. M.... ....

    Why do I hear Metallicas Unforgiven II in this?

    M.... ....

    Because all of the rock bands of today are beneficiaries of the work done by the pioneers like Iron Maiden.

    Hugs from Brasil 🇧🇷

  75. P.... F....

    We are the 7 August, so Happy birthday BRUCE

  76. R.... V....

    The very first time I heard this song (circa 1982, I was a junior in a U.S/Mexico border town.) I became totally transfixed and mesmerized, if you will, by Bruce Dickenson’s VOICE. This song’s melodic intro totallly showed his operatic/metal style. I was completely entranced by the almost magical quality of his powerful and distinctively sonorous voice. No other singer APPROACHES his vocal abilities IN TERMS OF OPERATIC QUALITY AND DISTINCITIVE POWER.

  77. L.... ....

    Fancy a gig? I know every line?

  78. S.... P....

    Luv this

  79. R.... D....

    THEY GOT SOME STRONG POWERS THEY BE PLAYING...

  80. H.... C....

    Also a huge shout out to Derek Riggs for creating some of the greatest artwork in metal history, thanks to him he has made Maiden a shit load of money over the years from t shirts and posters due to his wonderful drawings of Eddie.

  81. F.... F....

    _LUCIFER'S MY NAME!_ Ah no, wrong song... Sorry

    F.... F....

    AND LIGHT IS WHAT I BRING!!!

  82. C.... C....

    I still have my original pressing of this I bought it for 699 at my local

  85. S.... M....

    I actually FINALLY got to see Maiden live last Saturday, in Atlanta, GA! By FAR the best concert I've EVER been to!!!! I discovered them as an early teenager, and have been waiting to catch them live ever since. By the way, the day of the show was my 31st birthday. So, I waited a long time!! Haha!!

  86. J.... L....
