Iron Maiden - Speed Of Light Lyrics






Another time another place
A hollow universe in space
I took a trip to see the sights
I will be blacker than the night

One way ticket no returns
My shooting star so fast it burnt
On the edge that you can see

Let's shoot the moon you and me
I'm not particular you'll see
Just a lonesome galaxy

Shadows in the stars
We will not return
Humanity won't save us
At the speed of light

Shadows in the stars
We will not return
Humanity won't save us
We slip into the night

I'll say a mass for you and wave
Shooting plasma from my grave

Event horizon lost in space
Running in a human race

I don't know where I don't know why
But somehow back in time again
I'm on the edge that you can see

I'm not particular at night
A single particle of me
You won't be tracking me by sight

Shadows in the stars
We will not return
Humanity won't save us
At the speed of light

Shadows in the stars
We will not return
Humanity won't save us
We slip into the night

Shadows in the stars
We will not return
Humanity won't save us
At the speed of light

Shadows in the stars
We will not return
Humanity won't save us
At the speed of light

Shadows in the stars
We will not return
Humanity won't save us
At the speed of light

Shadows in the stars
We will not return
Humanity won't save us
At the speed of light

We slip into the night

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

    Evolution of Fighting Games!!!

  91. F.... S....

    I would definitly play the last one!

  92. T.... A....

    Like the old Heavy Metal !

  93. R.... ....

    Been 4 years since this was released and I still think The Book of Souls is one of Maiden's weakest albums. Boring, meandering and uninspired. Compare this with how energetic and fresh Firepower by Judas Priest sounds, it's night and fucking day. Maiden needs to lay off the 8-minute epics and go back to punchier, hard-hitting 3-5 minute songs, they are starting to come across as an "old man's band."

  94. I.... S....

    Eu adoro essa música e o meu calmante musical.
    👿👿👾👽😃😃😃

  95. A.... L....

    Why didn’t they make a game from this song instead
