Iron Maiden - Starblind Lyrics






Take my eyes the things I've seen in this world coming to an end
My reflection fades, I'm weary of these earthly bones and skin
You may pass through me and leave no trace, I have no mortal face
Solar winds are whispering, you may hear me call

We can shed our skins and swim into the darkened void beyond
We will dance among the world that orbit stars that aren't our sun
All the oxygen that trapped us in a carbon spider's web
Solar winds are whispering, you may hear the sirens of the dead

Left the elders to their parley meant to satisfy our lust
Leaving Damocles still hanging over all their promised trust
Walk away from freedoms offered by their jailers in their cage
Step into the light startripping over mortals in their rage

Starblind - with sun
The stars are one
We are the light that brings the end of night

Starblind - with sun
The stars are one
We are, with the Goddess of the sun tonight

The preacher loses face with Christ
Religion's cruel device is gone
Empty flesh and hallow bones
Make pacts of love but die alone

The crucible of pain will forge
The blanks of sin, begin again
You are free to choose a life to live
Or one that's left to lose

Virgins in the teeth of God are meat and drink to feed the damned
You may pass through me and I will feel the life that you live less
Step into my light startripping, we will rage against the night
Walk away from comfort offered by your citizens of death

Starblind - with sun
The stars are one
We are the light that brings the end of night

Starblind - with sun
The stars are one
We're one with the goddess of the sun tonight

Take my eyes for what I've seen
I will give my sight to you
You are free to choose whatever
Life to live or life to lose

Whatever God, you know
He knows you, better than you believe
In your once and future grave
You'll fall endlessly deceived

Look into our face reflected in the moon glow in your eyes
Remember you can choose to look but not to see and waste your hours
You believe you have the time but I tell you your time is short
See your past and future all the same and it cannot be bought

Starblind - with sun
The stars are one
We are the light that brings the end of night

Starblind - with sun
The stars are one
We're one with the Goddess of the sun tonight

Take my eyes for what I've seen
I will give my sight to you
You are free to choose whatever
Life to live or life to lose

Whatever God you know
He knows you better than you believe
In your once and future grave
You'll fall endlessly deceived

The preacher loses face with Christ
Religion's cruel device is gone
Empty flesh and hollow bones
Make pacts of love but die alone

The crucible of pain will forge
The blanks of sin, begin again
You are free to choose a life to live
Or one that's left to lose

  3. I.... M....

    Just wow!! This song was clearly amazing when they released this album. It is still one of the many Maiden greats. Stands the test of time which says everything ❤

  4. p.... o....

    Take my eyes, the things I've seen
    In this world coming to an end.

    My reflection fades, I'm weary

    Of these earthly bones and skin.

    You may pass through me and

    Leave no trace, I have

    No mortal face.

    Solar winds are whispering,

    You may hear me call.

    We can shed our skins and swim

    Into the darkened void beyond.

    We will dance among the world

    That orbit stars that aren't our sun.

    All the oxygen that trapped us in

    A carbon spider's web.

    Solar winds are whispering, you

    May hear the sirens of the dead.

    Let the elders to their parley

    Meant to satisfy our lust.

    Leaving Damacles still hanging

    Over all their promised trust.

    Walk away from freedoms offered

    By the jailors in their cage.

    Step into the light, startripping

    Over mortals in their rage.

    Starblind with sun, the

    Stars are one.

    We are the light that brings

    The end of night.

    Starblind with sun, the

    Stars are one.

    We are with the Goddess

    Of the sun tonight.

    The preacher loses face

    With Christ.

    Religion's cruel device is gone.

    Empty flesh and hollow bones

    Make pacts of love but die alone.

    The crucible of pain will forge the

    Blanks of sin, begin again.

    You are free to choose a life to live

    Or one that's left to lose.

    Virgins in the teeth of God are

    Meat and drink to feed the damned.

    You may pass through me and I

    Will feel the life that you live less.

    Step into my light, startripping,

    We will rage against the night.

    Walk away from comfort offered

    By your citizens of death.

    Starblind with sun, the

    Stars are one.

    We are the light that brings

    The end of night.

    Starblind with sun, the

    Stars are one.

    We are with the Goddess

    Of the sun tonight.

    Take my eyes for what I've seen.

    I will give my sight to you.

    You are free to choose whatever:

    Life to live or life to lose.

    Whatever God you know,

    He knows you better than you

    Believe.

    In your once and future grave

    You'll fall endlessly deceived.

    Look into our face reflected in the

    Moonglow in your eyes.

    Remember you can choose

    To look but not to see and

    Waste your hours.

    You believe you have the time

    But I tell you your time is short.

    I see your past and future, all the

    Same, and it cannot be bought.

    Starblind with sun, the

    Stars are one.

    We are the light that brings

    The end of night.

    Starblind with sun, the

    Stars are one.

    We are with the Goddess

    Of the sun tonight.

    Take my eyes for what I've seen.

    I will give my sight to you.

    You are free to choose whatever:

    Life to live or life to lose.

    Whatever God you know,

    He knows you better than you

    Believe.

    In your once and future grave

    You'll fall endlessly deceived.

    The preacher loses face

    With Christ.

    Religion's cruel device is gone.

    Empty flesh and hollow bones

    Make pacts of love but die alone.

    The crucible of pain will forge the

    You are free to choose a life to live

    Or one that's left to lose.

  5. J.... ....

    One of my favourite Iron Maiden songs ... and by far my favourite song from TFF

  6. s.... w....

    Honestly why so many considers this album average at best is something I´ll never understand. It´s very progressive, yes, but the level of composing is extremly high, almost every song is a Golden Gem to say the least, many of them are Masterpieces, both musically and lyrically....this album is a masterpiece album, that´s for sure...

  7. P.... R....

    Still waiting for this song to be performed live.

  8. D.... ....

    Awful vocals. Overdubs don't hurt.

  9. C.... G....

    4:44 orgasmic solos !!!!!!

  10. T.... L....

    RIP Maiden....1980 -1983

    T.... L....

    Ja ja chesse poser

  11. I.... M....

    A lyrical masterpiece

  12. s.... w....

    There are NO OTHER band who produces music, guitar harmonies, riffs, solos, intros, outros, climbing dynamic bass lines, mind provocative lyrics and phenomenal performances like Maiden.....NO ONE ELSE even comes close to this Legendary band....

  13. d.... g....

    The best

  14. I.... G....

    These lyrics...cannot find the right words...

  15. r.... S....

    Very proggy 🔥👍

  16. L.... 6....

    Please, Iron Maiden, play this masterpiece live on stage.

  17. B.... T....

    Utterly Fantastic Song, #1A on Final Frontier just behind #1 Isle of Avalon...............


    both are incredible in their own rights...............

  18. s.... w....

    An OBSESSIVE and spellbinding IMMORTAL masterpiece, Haunting from the first note....the epicness and perfection makes me shiver....Maiden are the EPITOME of metal, NO doubt what so ever.....Breathtaking and utter Genius, all around....

  19. m.... d....

    Outstanding

  20. s.... w....

    MAGNIFICENT...........pure MAIDEN MAGIC....

  21. J.... C....

    Primeiro TNC quem deu deslike. Segundo uma das melhores poesias metalisticas de todos os tempos . Terceiro tenho esse cd que eu amo literalmente de sibrnatural paixão. Salvem Banguer 's.

  22. s.... w....

    NO words could EVER describe or make justice to the feelings when you listen to this INFERNAL touch of heaven......NO words could EVER be enough...

  23. C.... A....

    5:04 up the irons

  24. R.... S....

    GRANDISSIMO ALBUM....GRANDISSIMO PEZZO....GRANDISSIMI IRON !!!!!!💗💗👍👍👍👍

  25. G.... ....

    This is in the bottom Three Maiden albums for me, forgettable songs IMO

    G.... ....

    Maybe your music taste never made it out of the 80's...

    G.... ....

    @Pig Stalker Not at all, the songs arn't as good simple as.

  26. I.... G....

    So deep, never reach the end.

  27. s.... w....

    I´m lost for words, the awesomeness of this band, unrivaled in the metal genre, there NO other bans that creates music, guitar harmonies, riffs, solos and thought provocative lyrics like Maiden.......NONE....

  28. s.... w....

    An IMMORTAL masterpiece......the epicness is beyond belief, theese guys are the undisputed masters of their craft......I wish I could see them play this song live, at least once......a definite highlight of their entire career....

    s.... w....

    Lol i find you on pretty much every maiden video😂 Nice to see that there are other (young) people who love iron maiden to death! How was your Maiden concert? I remember one of your comments saying you were going to a concert XD

    s.... w....

    @Martijn de Groot the concert was WAY beyond my wildest expectations, the set list, stage settings and their amazing performances lifted the roof, I had the fortune of being first to the barrier, right in front of me were Steve and Janick...especially theese two took the show to another dimension, there were no air, nowhere to move, only magic on stage, I left with two broken ribs, a back like a rainbow and totally blown away so I´m going to Chile 2019, nothing could ever keep me away....strangely enough I´m their age, I´m ashamed to tell you that I " discovered " them about five years ago, heard Afraid to shoot Strangers and Hallowed be thy Name on the radio, went home looked at YouTube and since that day, I´ve never looked back, they are everything I could ever want or need....

  29. N.... F....

    In many aspects, this album seems a sequel of Somewhere in Time and Seventh Son sound. It would be really apropiate have titled it Somewhere in Space Time and recover the Cyborg Eddie at the bridge of an Spaceship. It would be better than the ugly alien Eddie made just for this sleeve.

  30. s.... w....

    The true metal ICONS Iron Maiden once again gives us proof of their supremecy in their progressive music.....Without a shadow of a doubt they are creating music from beyond the boundries of music...theese outstanding guys have simply a genre of their own.........

  31. s.... w....

    An IMMORTAL MASTERPIECE......a unique, progressive jewel in their discography in its own right, and THIS is the only proof you need, if ANYONE ever left a legacy it will be the true metal ICONS Iron Maiden, comparable to none, absolutely none....

  32. I.... G....

    Only 244,324 views, there is something wrong with our world, seriously.

  33. P.... S....

    5:04 one of the most emotional maiden moments ever

  34. M.... B....

    oh tio tah LOUCO iii KKK ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~m ~y~

  35. T.... B....

    TRUTH! Truly!

  36. S.... H....

    One awesome album by iron!

  37. Y.... ....

    This song has the Somewhere in Time feeling big time!!

  38. s.... w....

    AN UNFORGETTABLE MASTERPIECE...... the truth and depth of the lyrics, the unique mix of guitar harmonies, epic solos and the powerful interpretation by Bruce.....all of it rolled into a MAGICAL progressive piece of art, PURE ART.......

  39. D.... ....

    My favorite 2 songs of all time -
    1. Iron Maiden - Starblind (2010)
    2. Bruce Dickinson - The Alchemist (1998)

  40. p.... ....

    i guessing that must be adrians solo starting at 4:42

  41. c.... p....

    i love that song.

  42. J.... M....

    5:04 is epic part... As part of the Nomad

  43. I.... O....

    Awesome song. Great Adrian Smith <3

  44. S.... S....

    6:57 infinite dreams lick

    S.... S....

    sort of

    S.... S....

    Yeah. I tought same.

  45. A.... S....

    I got the demo from a friend was running my husky dropped to my knees and cried

  46. S.... K....

    Based on what the song is about, I admit I'm Catholic but I'm not that too religious of a person and I'm not as closed minded as the Christians are. I'm rather pragmatic and unconventional yet still a good person inside who still lives life to the fullest the way i want to. So while I'm faithful, I'm not a blind, dogmatic follower and I am still me. Up the Irons.

  47. A.... 5....

    So progressive. Excellent use of 7/8 near the end

  48. G.... R....

    decent but a mediocre album that can't rival with brave new world in any stretch of imagination

  49. j.... t....

    ....IRON MAIDEN 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
    UP THE IRONS!!!

  50. b.... J....

    As ‘stellar’ as the guitars are nicko is killing it on the drums

  51. k.... ....

    This whole album is severely underrated in my estimation. Sort of a "Somewhere In Time" of the second Bruce era.

    k.... ....

    kmsharley75 definitely, I wouldn´t really call it sort of Somewhere in Time, the lyrics and the high level of composing beats anything with the exception of AMOLAD of course.....it´s a masterpiece album, containing this epic song, the incredible Talisman and When the Wild Wind Blows......and there´s also the Alchemist and Isle of Avalon, maybe five stars isn´t enough for this outstanding album.....

  52. D.... C....

    Damned what a great song! The lyrics are so strong on their insights but sometimes hard to undertand de meaning of each verse, that it makes me wish of great music videos like the one's from the 80s and 90s, videos like "Can I play With Madness", "Bring your daughter to the slaughter", "2 Minutes To Midnight", and so on. What do you think guys? UP THE IRONS FROM CHILE!! I'm a huge fan from maiden since I was a little kid like 4 years old, and since it my favorite band of all fucking times!!

  53. M.... N....

    It's music like this that motivates me to keep going

    M.... N....

    Lurking Trashbag so true, it´s a phenomenal song on so many levels, their " classic " hits never comes this close to my heart.....this song is per definition a progressive piece of art, pure art....

  54. N.... A....

    Each song I'm lestining like a first time I lestining it

  55. R.... H....

    Gives me a Lovecraftian feel.

  56. k.... g....

    When you combine poetry and music you get Iron Maiden...

    k.... g....

    Sounds gay but when you combine passion to music(Heavy metal) and deep shit it's Maiden.

  57. B.... F....

    5:03 maiden being maiden

  58. G.... ....

    perfect song.....!!!

  59. I.... O....

    Those are really deep lyrics! This song 's amazing :)

  60. R.... G....

    4:02 Blue Oyster Cult—Stairway to the stars

  61. e.... e....

    que musica da hora o iron maiden é uma banda fudida que foda boa performance

  62. N.... A....

    I never get bored not from 1 song,any album many songs,every day with my soul iron maiden

  63. m.... n....

    2:09-2:30 now that is classic maiden playing.

  64. T.... ....

    This song is about thelema, and the end of the aeon of osiris

  65. L.... ....

    it doesn't beat the final countdown

  66. C.... ....

    "Empty flesh and hallowed bones
    Make pacts of love but die alone."

    God damn, guys. Right in the feels.

    C.... ....

    Chives5150 Deep Af

  67. �.... ....

    This song is one of the many living proofs that Iron Maiden is timeless.

    �.... ....

    not only timeless.....theese guys are the best, and I think they´ve invented a genre of their own !!!

  68. G.... O....

    up the irons puñetaaa

  69. I.... ....

    Wait a sec... The last third of this song soundd suspiciously like The Great Unknown from The Book of Souls... Coincidence?

    I.... ....

    Oh! You're right! Starblind at 6:02 and The Great Unknown at 1:27

    I.... ....

    Both songs are written by Adrian Smith

  70. T.... ....

    I think this song is talking about thelema and the coming of the new aeon.

    T.... ....

    TheRoland19111 Probably. Read up on that William Blake doe

  71. T.... L....

    The most amazing lyrics ever!! Up the Fucking Irons!

  72. A.... W....

    this shit sucks. music is about feeling just like any art and this doesnt cut it. how do they go from iron maiden to this old man music?

    A.... W....

    American Waste stupid brainless fuck.. it's true about you.

  73. Z.... D....

    Best Maiden song of the reunion. Period.

  74. M.... ....

    Upsettingly brilliant

  75. S.... B....

    Whenever i hear this song i have to say some part of me tries to overpower me.Beast mode!!

  76. S.... ....

    This song is really fun to play on guitar, there is so much different stuff going on throughout to keep it interesting.

    S.... ....

    there are so many little touches that add a lot. I love that solo that quietly snakes its way through the second chorus.

    S.... ....

    Also on bass

  77. J.... m....

    4,42-5,20: glorious. Seventh son... again. Maiden are absolutely unique, their legacy will live forever. The book of souls is (for me) their absolutely best. Only can say thanks, big big

    J.... m....

    @***** This album yells seventh son.. people are just to fucking thick to give it a shot

    J.... m....

    +ThreeDaysOfDan
    That might explain why I'm not too fond of most of the songs. Don't care much for Seventh Son's songs. The only track on this album that I count among my favorites is The Alchemist.

    J.... m....

    @Ikrani the first half of this album is classic POM- PS mixed in with there modern pacing , the second half is seventh son-ish   This is a very polarizing album for me because once you pass mother of mercy the quality drops hard core up until the final song 

    J.... m....

    I meant my previous comment in that while I can dig this song, most of the tracks on here don't really do it for me. Though I will stand by the Satellite 15 music video as one of the greatest music videos of all time. By all the crap that is holy, it's awesome

  78. l.... ....

    I love the rhythm of this song.

  79. A.... M....

    Did Maidens ever played this song live?

    A.... M....

    +Adam Mroźnik Sadly no

  80. C.... A....

    IMHO TFF is the best IM album since Fear of The Dark, the tracks are overall more well composed and catchier than the ones in DoD and AMOLAD, and just a little better than Brave New World.

    There's not a single track in TFF that I dislike, and Where The Wild Wind Blows is in my personal Top 10 Maiden songs, simply epic.

    C.... A....

    +Cássio Amaral
    I find TFF to be a lot better than Fear of the Dark. Don't find it fair to compare their post-reunion stuff to their glory days stuff though. The golden days was anthemic, cheesy as hell, amazing fun albums, while their post-reunion goes for a mature, progressive style. It's like comparing apples to oranges. It's sad seeing "die hard" fans shitting on the new albums because Maiden wanted to do something new. I actually prefer it this way. I'd be greatly disappointed if they continued chugging out 15 carbon copies of Piece of Mind up to 2015. It's one of the reasons why I grew to love the band. They never stuck around doing the same thing for too long. Their Di'Anno stuff was very different from Number of the Beast - Powerslave, just as Powerslave, Somewhere in Time and Seventh Son were all different beasts in of themselves. The sound they have going now is a fitting sound for the age both the band and our culture in general are in.

    C.... A....

    @Gurnle The Dark Chair God And now The Book of Souls has entered my top 5 Maiden albums. Their best one since FOTD, even better than The Final Frontier, just amazing!

    C.... A....

    +Cássio Amaral This is my favourite Maiden album, discovered them just after they released Brave New World, love both their current and old stuff, many of my favourites are from the earlier albums, but this album and song are just amazing

  81. S.... O....

    I listened to this song many times, with an open mind. The lyrics are awesome and I really wanted to like it. It starts well, the chorus is not bad, but the second half of the song has a subpar melody. Basically it is not a bad song but it disappears near The Talisman, El Dorado and Isle of Avalon.

  82. E.... ....

    "All the oxygen that trapped us in
    A carbon spider's web."

    Bruce is singing about cellular respiration and its role in synthesizing the organic molecules that are the basis of biological life. Who does that? Who but Iron Maiden/Bruce COULD do that? AMAZING. Just amazing. Greatest goddamned band there is. \../

    E.... ....

    @susanne williamsson If you like a great combination of music and intelligent lyrics I would recommend the Fish era Marillion, for example, their album A Script for a Jester's tear and Dream Theater for example, their song In the Name of God.

    E.... ....

    @N0rth3rnP1k3 I´ve heard quite a lot of Dream Theater, and their music is brilliant but there´s something about Maiden, I don´t know how to put it really, their music and lyrics " talks " to my inner soul, if you know what I mean......thank you for the tip about Fish era Marillion, I´ll try the album you suggested......

    E.... ....

    @maiden4 greece EXACTLY, you feel caught somewhere in time, out of the silent planet, in a dream or even beyond a dream........from another dimension, that´s for sure.....

    E.... ....

    @susanne williamsson ........thats right.....i got you....you got me,maiden is the answear musically and for our life too.........cause its way of life.Thank you my iron girl........be careful,cheers..........

    E.... ....

    @maiden4 greece Sick bucket needed

  83. A.... T....

    For me one of their best songs, along with Where Eagles Dare, Sea of Madness, Moonchild and Out of the Silent Planet.

    A.... T....

    Sea of Madness is insane

    A.... T....

    To Tame A Land belongs on your list

    A.... T....

    And then they gave us EMPIRE OF THE CLOUDS.. goddamn

  84. C.... R....

    Best song ever so epic

  85. x.... ....

    Damn. So deep. I feel like a lot of the songs on this album are really weighty.

    x.... ....

    xcamero360 and THAT'S what I LOVE about it.

  86. M.... ....

    awesome song, very good lyrics. still don't know why Dickinson pushes the limits his voice to such an extent, we would sound as epic and satisfying if he sang mostly lower and do less highs to build more emphasis on the songs.  he often sounds tired  here. 

    M.... ....

    +MrDR7no yes way too high. just as high as the guitarrs, the same melody and so many words... kinda boring, but I think it's the way Steve Harris wants it

  87. k.... ....

    This song to me is the greatest Iron Maiden song of the reunion era
    And it contains the best lyrics ever written, imo.

    k.... ....

    The talisman > starblind

  88. I.... M....

    the only heavy metal band that can play decent prog music today

  89. M.... ....

    Easily in their top 10 songs!

  90. T.... ....

    Do I hear Prog-rock or Prog metal influences in this song? (just curious) 

    T.... ....

    And a few other music styles

    T.... ....

    Maiden started playing progressive-metal using synths in Somewhe In Time back in 1986 (and later in Seventh Son Of A Seventh son in 1988). It's a bit late to notice it ¬¬

    BTW it's true that their last two albums are more progressive than the other ones. Cannot wait to hear the 2015 album *_*

    T.... ....

    @TheSporehacker yea the majority of the song is syncopated also some parts are in 7/8 time signature, very subtile tho. I love this track

    T.... ....

    @Helicida Songs like To Tame a Land already showed a progressive metal side Iron Maiden would adopt later on. Powerslave had progressive songs as well, like the title track and Rime of the Ancient Mariner. At least from my "progressive" point of view. If you ask me what progressive rock really is, I probably will only be able to explain it with examples.

    T.... ....

    @Leandro Del Prete And Phantom Of The Opera too ^^
    They had progressive influences since they started, its obvious.

  91. �.... �....

    Awesome song! Not only it's soulful and sounds awesome, it also recalls Infinite Dreams musically and lyrically

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

    This is a awsome song and album
    The best one is when the wild wind blows

  93. F.... L....

    Today i have enormous dificult to make my Iron Maiden´s top ten songs.

    Also because of this song. I´ve lost how many times this song played in my car.

    Unfortunately not in the radio, because this music never play in the radio charts.

    I still don´t know why ?.

    F.... L....

    Radio channels have no taste, that's why

    F.... L....

    Nah it's easy, there's way too much crap around which our generations think is "Nice music"

    F.... L....

    Why struggle with top 10, pick top 100!

  94. W.... ....

    5:04 *tears...such an amazing band \m/

  95. F.... ....

    This album is the exception to the rule "before was better"

    F.... ....

    I think it could be said of all their late work. Bruce's second era is giving early Maiden a run for its money. Their sound has aged very well.

    F.... ....

    And then the book of souls came out to prove it once again

  96. r.... ....

    This song shows that, in my opinion, The Final Frontier is one of their greatest albums. A 5 star masterpiece. 

    r.... ....

    It is VERY underrated. Lord of Light is my favorite from that album. I like For the Greater Good of God too. I recently learned that one on bass.

    r.... ....

    The only weak song to me is The Longest Day. Don't really care for that one
