Iron Maiden - Moonchild Lyrics






Seven deadly sins
Seven ways to win
Seven holy paths to hell
And your trip begins

Seven downward slopes
Seven bloodied hopes
Seven are your burning fires
Seven your desires

I am he the bornless one
The fallen angel watching you
Babylon, the scarlet whore
I'll infiltrate your gratitude
Don't you dare to save your son
Kill him now and save the young ones
Be the mother of a birth strangled babe
Be the devil's own, Lucifer's my name

Moonchild - hear the mandrake scream
Moonchild - open the seventh seal

I count the heads of those unborn
The accursed ones I'll find them all
And if you die by your own hand
As a suicide you shall be damned
And if you try to save your soul
I will torment you - you shall not grow old
With every second and passing breath
You'll be so alone your soul will bleed to death

Moonchild - hear the mandrake scream
Moonchild - open the seventh seal
Moonchild - You'll be mine soon child
Moonchild - take my hand tonight

The twins they are exhausted, seven is this night
Gemini is rising and the red lips kiss to bite
Seven angels seven demons battle for his soul
When Gabriel lies sleeping, this child was born to die

One more dies and one more lives
One baby cries One mother grieves
For all the sins you will commit
You'll beg forgiveness and none I'll give
A web of fear shall be your coat
To clothe you in the night
A lucky escape for you, young man
But I see you damned in endless night

Moonchild - hear the mandrake scream
Moonchild - open the seventh seal
Moonchild - You'll be mine soon child
Moonchild - take my hand tonight

  52. F.... M....

    Ha! I just made it my default picture for my google account! Up the irons!!!!

  53. F.... M....

    I am 48 and I have loved Maiden almost all of my life. I grew up and became a mask maker and years after honing my skills I made EDDIE! EDDIE is by far my favorite mask that I have ever made. I wish there was a way to show you on this comment! If anybody is interested check out ForsakenProps on instagram.

  54. S.... C....

    Got extra intrigued when I saw this, because not only was it a Maiden song I hadn't heard, it also could have been an odd tribute to King Crimson.

  55. G.... ....

    I love Jack Black and Tenacious D is my favorite band!

  56. S.... R....

    First Maiden album to use synths, the producer Martin Birch at the top of his game and the only real Concept album they have ever released since every song says a part of a story that goes full circle...and the trip begins

  57. T.... K....

    Aleister Crowley had his most inspired music covers ever with this masterpiece.

  58. S.... B....

    harris fingers are god.

  59. K.... D....

    Mostly technic crap, not best, not even bests.

  60. K.... D....

    Overrated album and almost worse what they ever did, i did listen this in back then but after all, this is completely crap.

  61. G.... ....

    UP THE IRONS!

  62. A.... Q....

    Los 7 sabios anunnaki!
    De las más ancestrales historias sumerias inicio de los famosos 7 que tanto varían en distintas culturas antiguas, en algunos seres malévolos en otras los que nos instrulleron y guiaron.
    Iron Maiden gran contenido oculto veneración a los verdaderos dioses
    Grande Iron Maiden
    Espectacular canción!!!

  63. J.... G....

    The last great song from Maiden.. just downhill there After 🙄

  64. G.... A....

    What's your favorite Iron Maiden song from the 80's to open an album? Prowler 1980, Ides Of March / Wrathchild 1981, Invaders 1982, Where Eagles Dare 1983,Aces High 1984, Caught Somewhere In Time 1986, Moonchild 1988. Mine is Caught Somewhere In Time. But you could make an album of great Iron Maiden songs from songs to open an album and you won't be disappointed!!

  65. A.... P....

    Album seventhson......my favorit

  66. S.... S....

    Maiden obviously studied Crowley Magick.

  67. R.... H....

    Iron maiden is the most unique Rock band ever... There concerts are awesome and stage set is bad ass... Up the irons baby ✌️🎤🎸

  68. E.... C....

    Uyyyy. Un lindo recuerdo

  69. E.... A....

  72. R.... H....

    Love MAIDEN... looking forward to The legacy of the beast tour 🎤

  73. P.... L....

    When you want something Maiden-like, only Maiden will do.

  74. F.... C....

    Such an awesome song! I remember first hearing this in like 2004 or smth! Just amazing!

  75. C.... V....

    The First Time I Heard this Song I Was watching A Satanic Panic Documentary from The Eighty's

  76. F.... C....

    Can't believe these songs are 30 this year! I discovered this album in like 2004 or smth. Long times ago! Songs are still awesome but the songs feel more old school. Almost like how Led Zep and Queen sounded to me then. . .

  77. A.... M....

    From 0:26 to 1:21 ,This is Genius !!!

  78. M.... N....

    How to make perfect first song from the album

  79. M.... C....

    L'Inferno sulla Terra... e così sia...

  80. J.... B....

    The Guitars of Iron Maiden are so euphoric to me, and I have never been stoned in my life. The Words...Sounds....everything just calms my soul

  81. I.... P....

    Love how nicko misses the beat at 2:36
    Great masterpiece song

  82. R.... B....

    This is some music. Wish time could turn back and let us back to the source. Songs on mythology!!

  83. c.... t....

    I started screaming the lyrics to this song on the bus because I just couldn't hold in the adrenaline. metal is all about expression

  84. E.... M....

    Crowley anyone?

  85. x.... x....

    FOAD anselmo

  86. t.... a....

    The eddies are my gods

  87. E.... A....

    Pensavo fosse di Axos..😕

  88. K.... 1....

    en France on aime aussi

  89. T.... O....

    Best intro ever? So... imposing. Shades of Phaedra and Alan Parsons Project. Synths, echoes, power chords, sheer drama. Music to make an entrance by, make no mistake. One of Maiden's best songs, one of their best albums (behind Powerslave); Dickinson's cackle/shriek at the end is pretty chilling.

  90. M.... P....

    Bam, wat een begin

  91. C.... 6....

    30 plus years on and I STILL get an adrenaline rush on the opening sequence of this song - love the power chords with that synth guitar /keyboard in the background - then the quickening of the tempo just before Bruce's vocals . Fantastic.
    Up the Irons 🤘👍
    Greetings and gratitude from Wales , UK 😀

  92. W.... V....

    Brasil é noix

  93. G.... R....

    l believe this album changed the path of maiden going forward it's really one of my favorite maiden albums I'm just along for the ride on what do I know

  94. R.... M....

    Powerfull...
