Iron Maiden - Sea Of Madness Lyrics






Out in the street somebody's crying
Out in the night the fires burn
Maybe tonight somebody's crying
Reached the point of no return
Oh - my eyes they see but I can't believe
Oh - my heart is heavy as I turn my back and leave

[Chorus:]
Like the eagle and the dove
Fly so high on wings above
When all you see can only bring you sadness
Like a river we will flow
On towards the sea we go
When all you do can only bring you sadness
Out on the sea of madness

Somewhere I hear a voice that's calling
Out in the dark there burns a dream
You got to hope when you are falling
To find the world that you have seen
Oh - my eyes they see but I can't believe
Oh - my heart is heavy as I turn my back and leave

[Chorus:]

It's madness
The sun don't shine
On the sea of madness
There ain't no wind to fill your sails
Madness when all you see can only bring you sadness
On towards the sea we go...

Out in the street somebody's crying
Out in the night the fires burn
Maybe tonight somebody's crying
Reached the point of no return
Oh - my eyes they see but I can't believe
Oh - my heart is heavy as I turn my back and leave

[Chorus:]

  1. g.... r....

    I never have a chance to see maiden again, because they obviously will not come back to tallinn, estonia anymore... I missed the show here damn

  2. s.... 4....

    This song is so great live.

  3. R.... G....

    Maiden yes still love this band i am 45 now discovered them when i was 15

  4. C.... F....

    Song and its album for eternity, world heritage!

  5. G.... ....

    Anyone ever notice that Pantera's "Domination" sounds suspiciously similar to this?

  6. A.... L....

    Bruce the best..

  7. A.... G....

    When I first heard this song, I froze. I was in the grip of an all consuming drug addiction at the time. All I saw and did, brought me sadness. I was going insane.  A beautiful and loving girl, a great job. New motorcycle, and a wonderful tract of land and 5 bedroom house.  All was slipping through my fingers. When I heard the lines "When all you do can only bring you sadness", I broke down and cried. My eyes could see, but I can't believe, my wonderful girl, faithful, loving, caring....I turned my back, and indeed, my heart was heavy as I left. High school sweethearts, together from 16 years old to 26....I hurt her so badly. I will never forgive myself. No wind to fill my sails after that. I hope this song will never mean to someone else what it meant to me.

  8. J.... H....

    Out in the street somebody's crying,
    Out in the night the fires burn,
    Maybe tonight somebody's crying,
    Reached the point of no return.
    Oh, my eyes they see but I can't believe,
    Oh, my heart is heavy as I turn my back and leave.
    Like the eagle and the dove,
    Fly so high on wings above,
    When all you see can only bring you sadness,
    Like a river we will flow,
    On towards the sea we go,
    When all you do can only bring you sadness,
    Out on the sea of madness.
    Somewhere I hear a voice that's calling,
    Out in the dark there burns a dream,
    You got to hope when you are falling,
    To find the world that you have seen.
    Oh, my eyes they see but I can't believe,
    Oh, my heart is heavy as I turn my back and leave.
    Like the eagle and the dove,
    Fly so high on wings above,
    When all you see can only bring you sadness,
    Like a river we will flow,
    On towards the sea we go,
    When all you do can only bring you sadness,
    Out on the sea of madness.
    It's madness,
    The sun don't shine
    On the sea of madness,
    There ain't no wind to fill your sails,
    Madness,
    When all you see can only bring you sadness
    On towards the sea we go

  9. J.... P....

    One of Adrian’s best songs ever!!!!

  10. C.... E....

    Awesome album!

  11. R.... L....

    This is a truly brilliant track, probably the most underrated of the album. Every song off the album manages to jump out and come alive...💓

    R.... L....

    This album was really Adrian's time to shine. Every song is insanely good and addictive!

  12. C.... B....

    Another freaking gem from Adrian Smith. I forgot how insanely good this song is. Everything about this song is pure magic. So many treasures on this album!

    C.... B....

    Most underrated track on the album IMO.

    C.... B....

    @Rita Lovett
    No one does solos like Adrian Smith. You know I love Dave's playing, but Adrian has such a spark!

    Band: Iron Maiden
    Song: Sea Of Madness
    Album: Somewhere In Time
    Year: 1986
    Origin: London, England
    Genre: Heavy Metal
    SEA OF MADNESS
    Out in the street somebody's crying. Out in the night the fires burn. Maybe tonight somebody's crying; reached the point of no return. Oh my eyes they see but I can't believe. Oh my heart is heavy as I turn my back and leave. Like the eagle and the dove, fly so high on wings above. When all you see can only bring you sadness. Like a river we will flow. On towards the sea we go. When all you do can only bring you sadness. Out on the sea of madness. Somewhere I hear a voice that's calling. Out in the dark there burns a dream. You got to hope when you are falling, to find the world that you have seen. It's madness. The sun don't shine on the sea of madness. There ain't no wind to fill your sails. Madness, when all you see can only bring you sadness. On towards the sea we go.

  15. I.... E....

    The best song on their best album. If you really think about it - besides the polished and otherworldly production sound on this album - the song Sea Of Madness is quite similar in its arrangement to some of the best songs off their first two Di'Anno albums. Those just had a rawer studio sound than Sea Of Madness. Only difference really. This song has all the elements that DEFINE Maiden.

  16. W.... J....

    Did the half of the views.

  18. V.... R....

    For me this is their best song.

  19. S.... I....

    Rigsie" must have been a blade runner fan! Love the whole spacy and futuristic VIBE on this album!

  20. Z.... ....

    One of my favorite Maiden songs with a very strong chorus. I never understood why this song is so often overlooked.

  21. S.... '....

    I listened to this in math class and did 5 papers in 20 minutes. The power of metal🙌

  22. f.... ....

    Super cool bridge in this song. Bruce sounds excellent.

  23. T.... ....

    Que gran tema :')

  24. s.... l....

    The tone of the guitars on this album is unbelievable

  25. K.... J....

    Beautiful solo. It’s like my favourite song of my life: RECKLESS Judas Priest from the same year.

  26. l.... w....

    l love this - maiden l love - 2019

  27. V.... R....

    God please take me back to 1986 please...

  28. J.... C....

    A parte do solo é mágica e me remete ao passado.

  29. J.... M....

    Adrian...good god man, that solo. Makes me cry!

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

    One of the best of THE BEAST

  31. C.... T....

    I used to dislike this album. I also used to be a massive retard.

  32. d.... M....

    Show iron maiden uma das melhores bandas que ja existeu top 👍

  33. D.... ....

    Love the bass line!!!!

  34. J.... A....

    UP the Irons !!!

  35. C.... B....

    That fucking bass

  36. J.... V....

    Yoo Maiden Gives a great show

  37. J.... D....

    Adrian has written some of the best Maiden songs and his solos are stellar!

  38. �.... �....

    2:26 ▶▶😎

  39. I.... C....

    The Best Album of Maiden. Many people don't understand my CHOICE, but i don't understand people.....

    I.... C....

    Always was , always will remain my favorite maiden album too!

  40. T.... P....

    NO, this song is not underrated, SIT is not an underrated album, Adrian Smith is not an underrated guitarrist and songwriter. If you're not a Maiden fan, you won't get to know this song, since it wasn't a hit. It had such melody and harmony only evolved ears can perceive.


    Edit: Nicko's one-footed double bass 3:37-3:39

  41. w.... ....

    If you hand't listen this album u cannot say what metal rock is...this álbum is Just epic!!

  42. s.... w....

    MASTERPIECE !! And a proof of the MAIDEN MAGIC MOMENTS ......

  43. J.... L....

    GooodJOB-Adrien

  44. J.... G....

    From 2:53 to 3:45. That´s somewhere in a time I would like to be. Even in madness. One of tops underrated themes out there

  45. a.... s....

    GENIAL ALBUM DE MIS FAVORITOS DE MAIDEN JUNTO CON EL POWERSLAVE

  46. s.... w....

    Maybe Maiden haven´t invented the metal genre, but they´ve surely perfected it ...to unreachable levels.....

  47. M.... ....

    I think the closes sound they got to this is the song Starblind from Final frontier ,

  48. D.... C....

    2:28 guitar solo up the Irons

  49. m.... g....

    its MAIDENMAGIC....!!!

    m.... g....

    maiden4greece definitely, and this MAIDENMAGIC all of us want to hear them play live

    m.... g....

    @susanne williamsson yes Susanne....maiden gives to us the meaning of life...always want to see them live on stage.

  50. D.... G....

    That bassline

  51. s.... w....

    THIS album is one of, if not THE best album they ever made.....even if I love their more progressive music the most this album has vaulted into my top three, honestly, the phenomenal guitar work is beyond belief........A PRECIOUS JEWEL.....

  52. C.... P....

    Adrian Smith is the first guitarist I ever picked as my own.

  53. D.... A....

    The bass in this song is amazing

  54. M.... G....

    I don’t care what anyone says, this song and album are fucking classics

  55. S.... ....

    Kevin Shirley or Martin birch?

  56. E.... ....

    i don't know why, but this remind me Pantera ;-;

    E.... ....

    "Domination".

  57. D.... ....

    Inspired Pantera’s Domination riff?

    D.... ....

    David: Haha. I can see the similarity you are getting at there. Phil Anselmo is pretty vocal about who his musical influences were. And Iron Maiden is one band I have NEVER heard him talk about. Then again, it was Dime who did the riff, and he's not around to ask questions to anymore. He may have been influenced by Maiden to some degree though I'm sure. By the way, I saw Pantera live three times back in the day. Wild shit man! Hehe. And I've seen Maiden live five times. Cheers.

  58. A.... N....

    Like the Eagle and the dove....

  59. M.... G....

    Best album ever in a 1000 years

  60. s.... w....

    An INFERNAL touch of heaven.....this is the madness we all want to see played live...
