Iron Maiden - Only The Good Die Young Lyrics






The demon in your mind will rape you in your bed at night
The wisdom of ages, the lies and outrages concealed
Time it waits for no man
My future is revealed
Time it waits for no man
My fate is sealed

If I cancel tomorrow the undead will thank me today
Fly in the face of the prophets I mock your morality plays
The moon is red and bleeding
The sun is burned and black
The book of life is silent
No turning back

[Chorus:]
Only the good die young
All the evil seem to live forever
Only the good die young
All the evil seem to live forever
Only the good die young
Only the good die young

Mystery madman, a victim of cruel charade
Some innocent pawn in an end game, one more stalemate
Is death another birthday?
A way to kiss your dreams goodbye?
Do the undead live within us?
And look through our eyes?

Walking on water are miracles all you can trust
Measure your coffin does is measure up to your lust?
So I think I'll leave you
With your bishops and your guilt
So until the next time
Have a good sin

[Chorus:]

Seven deadly sins
Seven ways to win
Seven holy paths to hell

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

  50. Y.... L....

    The demon in your mind will rape you in your bed at night
    The wisdom of ages, the lies and outrages concealed
    Time it waits for no man
    My future it is revealed
    Time it waits for no man
    My fate is sealed
    If I cancel tomorrow the undead will thank me today
    Fly in the face of your prophets I mock your morality plays
    The moon is red and bleeding
    The sun is burned and black
    The book of life is silent
    No turning back
    Only the good die young
    All the evil seem to live forever
    Only the good die young
    All the evil seem to live forever
    Only the good die young
    Only the good die young
    Mystery madman a victim of cruel charade
    Some innocent pawn in an end game one more stalemate
    Is death another birthday?
    A way to kiss your dreams goodbye?
    Do the undead live within us
    And look through our eyes?
    Walking on water are miracles all you can trust
    Measure your coffin does it measure up to your lust?
    So I think I'll leave you
    With your bishops and your guilt
    So until the next time
    Have a good sin
    Only the good die young
    All the evil seem to live forever
    Only the good die young
    All the evil seem to live forever
    Only the good die young
    Only the good die young
    Seven deadly sins
    Seven ways to win
    Seven holy paths to hell
    Seven downward slopes
    Seven bloodied hopes
    Seven are your burning fires
    Seven your desires...

  51. A.... S....

    Steve's insane solo....

  52. C.... N....

    I don't know why, but the intro remembers me Deja Vu, from somewhere in time

  53. A.... H....

    Os caras.sao.fd

  54. S.... B....

    1:52..says everything.steve fuckin'harris

  55. E.... R....

    Only the good die young
    All the evil seem to live forever..

    E.... R....

    Linda! Beautiful! Pretty! 😘 You and the music

  56. D.... G....

    😎👍

  57. L.... K....

    A good friend of mine just passed away today. This song is stuck in my mind since.

    L.... K....

    Same and it came into mind , however i look for a lyric in one of the songs that says as soon your born your dying ? (any hints )

    L.... K....

    Sorry about your friend.

    I hate the fact that music is the escape for some, like myself. But what it also does is that you remember the pain each time you hear that song. Cemetery Gates is that one song for me that reminds me of a friend dying.

    L.... K....

    Sorry to her about that let God bless you.

    L.... K....

    @11DNA11 it helps us cope, it brings us to move on. But the price is that the song we coped with didnt overcome our sadness. It took it upon itself. We curse songs with our pain, and each listen unlocks all the sorrow we sealed away.

    L.... K....

    @Frank Roskam clairvoyant dude, with its biblical ecclesiastics chapter in the chorus.

  58. D.... O....

    1:52 Auditory orgasm

  59. D.... D....

    1:52 bass guitar woooooooooow

  60. R.... F....

    Iron Maiden é foda

  61. B.... O....

    UP THE IRONS FROM GREECE!

  62. F.... B....

    Excelente banda Boa música perfeita saudades dessa época 1988 eu tinha 18 anos de idade curtindo muito esse disco saudades desse tempo que não volta mais saudades

  63. A.... P....

    RIP Joel's Wineglass

  64. J.... S....

    the bass in this song is amazing <3

  65. C.... M....

    This song really deserved to be played live

    C.... M....

    I believe it was on the Maiden England tour. Could be wrong though.

  66. D.... G....

    Pure Maiden song awsome UP THE IRONS.

  67. d.... ....

    The best guitar riff you will ever hear plays twice at 1:52...that's it. This riff is never played again in this or any other song.

  68. D.... M....

    È una canzone che mi piace molto, e penso che sia perfetta!!!!!!!!!



    UP THE IRONS FROM ITALY

  69. C.... M....

    Walking on water are miracles all you can trustMeasure your coffin does is measure up to your lust?So I think I'll leave youWith your bishops and your guiltSo until the next timeHave a good sin

  70. P.... G....

    Only you compare this production, that is clear, brilliant, powerful, full of shades to....the fuckin 'caveman' Shirley from Brave new world era and beyond. For me there's no comparision!

    P.... G....

    Do you know how dated the recent albums would sound if this type of production was used? Metal has been clean and clear for years now, without much reverb. Just listen to Judas Priest's Firepower. Clean and clear but not without power and energy.

  71. P.... F....

    Reminds me of caught somewhere in time

  72. S.... M....

    Ovo je muzika

    S.... M....

    Najbolji bend ikad.Odrastao sa njima i uvek mi bili omiljeni,nikad se nisu menjali.

    GOD, I LOVE BILLY JOEL

    P.... ....

    Billy Joel suck!

  77. a.... k....

    the best song

  78. d.... ....

    it is true. the faster you get out from your physical body, the better.

  79. I.... M....

    Why this was never played live, the mind boggles.

  80. G.... R....

    underrated gem from a criminally underrated album this is right up here with beasts and piece of minde

    G.... R....

    7th son isnt underrated at all

  81. E.... A....

    I can feel the iron in Steve Harris right hand fingers!

  82. S.... O....

    1:57 has the best sounding bass line ever

  83. D.... K....

    The most amazing band to have ever been put on this Earth! Iron Maiden forever!

  84. H.... S....

    A melhor banda do mundo sem dúvida!!!

  86. M.... B....

    Best album imho

  87. R.... L....

    That ending is eargasm

  88. s.... ....

    Powerful thoughtful lyrics....

    Mystery madman, a victim of cruel charade
    Some innocent pawn in an end game, one more stalemate
    Is death another birthday?
    A way to kiss your dreams goodbye?
    Do the undead live within us?
    And look through our eyes?

    Walking on water are miracles all you can trust
    Measure your coffin does is measure up to your lust?
    So I think I'll leave you
    With your bishops and your guilt
    So until the next time
    Have a good sin...

  89. a.... r....

    this epic chorus would never leave your head , now i realized the verses are the same from Killers.

  90. l.... ....

    My childhood friend is dying of A.L.S (the neurodegenerative disease of the ice bucket challenge) and just told me, voice broken, that he lost nearly all hearing in one ear, overnight. We rocked out to this, back in '88.
    Dammit R. Why you and not some fucked up asshole? ONLY THE GOOD DIE YOUNG.

  91. B.... R....

    This is what happens when your bass skills transcend mankind lol.

  92. R.... K....

    R.I.P. Peter G.

  93. K.... S....

    Cliff > Steve

  94. B.... P....

    Sublime. Maiden were at the top of their game with this album. You can fucking hear Odin when the chorus goes up a key.

  95. J.... S....

    Iron Maiden la mejor banda
