Iron Maiden - The Legacy Lyrics
Tell you a thing
That you ought to know
Two minutes of your time
Then on you go
All dressed in black
That most of them
Not coming back
Sent off to war
To play little games
And on their return
Can't name no names
Some strange yellow gas
Has reddened their eyes
Removed all the lies
And strange as it sounds
Death knows no bounds
How many get well
Only time will tell
Only time will tell
You lie in your death bed now
But what did you bring to the table
Brought us only holy sin
Utter trust is a deadly thing
To the prayer of holy peace
We didn't know what was lying underneath
So how could we be such fools
And to think that we thought you knew the answer
I can't begin to understand in all the lies
But on your death bed I can see it in your eyes
Just as clear as all the sweat upon your brow
It really makes sense I can see it clearly now
Tangled up in a web of lies
Could have been a way to prophecies
Unaware of the consequence
Not aware of the secrets that you kept
Nothing that we could believe
To reveal the facade of faceless men
Not a thing that we could foresee
Now a sign that would tell us the outcome
You had us all strung out with promises of peace
But all along your cover plan was to deceive
Can it be put to rights now only time will tell
Your prophecies will send us all to hell as well
Left to all our golden sons
All to pick up on the peace
You could have given all of them
A little chance...at least
Take the world to a better place
Given them all just a little hope
Just think what a legacy
You now...will leave
We seem destined to live in fear
And some that would say Armageddon is near
But where there's a life while there's hope
That man won't self destruct
Why can't we treat our fellow men
With more respect and a shake of their hands
But anger and loathing is rife
The death on all sides is becoming a way of life
We live in an uncertain world
Fear understanding and ignorance is leading to death
Only the corpses are left
For vultures that prey on their bones
But some are just not wanting peace
Their whole life is death and misery
The only thing that they know
Fight fire with fire life is cheap
But if they do stop to think
That man is teetering right on the brink
But do you think that they care
They benefit from death and pain and despair

0:24 Bruce Dickinson: "2 minutes of your time, then on you go"
The song: *Lasts 9 minutes*
Для воинов гладиаторов
Wtf is up with those m16s lol good song.
I searched for this song for years in my collection.. Didn't knew the name. Finally found it in here 😭🤘🏽
A matter of life and death - the best of all the great Iron Maiden albums.
5:29 hits me like fucking hulk hitting the big ass alien in avengers 2
My Favourite Maiden' Song
maiden is so good thats the fucking black sabbath got jealous with them and sharon ozzy s wife the bitch throw eggs on the maidens anyway uo the irons
Google Translate Lyrics:
Tell me something
Then you should know
2 minutes
Then you will go
Tell the story
of all black men
Most people
Never come back
Start war
Play mini games
After they came back
Can't have no name
Strange yellow gas
I have made up my mind.
Their eyes are red
Delete all lies
This is very strange
Death is omniscient
How many are recovering?
The answer comes out only in time
The answer comes out only in time
You are now in a death sentence
But what did you bring?
Only bring us holy sins
Total trust is fatal
Pray for holy peace
I do not know what is below
So how are we so stupid?
And I think we gave you an answer.
I don't understand every lie.
But in the bed where you are dead, I can see it in your eyes.
Sweating on the forehead
I can clearly see that this is very sensible.
Participants in the lie network
May have left the prophecy
I don't know the result
I don't know the secrets you protect
Unbelievable
Showing the front of a person without a face
This is not something we can foresee.
It is not a sign showing the result
Let us hug you
Commitment to peace
But your salary contract is always cheating
Is it disturbing now? The answer comes out only in time
Your prophecy will send us all to hell
Leave all our golden children
Everyone must accept peace
You can give them all
At least have a chance
Make the world a better place
Given that they are just a little hope
Imagine this heritage
You know that you are gone
It seems that life is in fear
Some say the end of the world is near
But there is life and hope
The person will not die
Why can't we treat our brothers?
More respect and handshake
But anger and hatred are common
All aspects of death
Become a way of life
We live in an uncertain world
Fear of understanding and ignorance
Way to death
Leave only the body
For voots praying on the bones
But some people do not want peace
Their life is death and pain
The only thing they know
Fire is on fire, life is cheap
But if they stop thinking
Anyone at risk of falling
But do you think the same thing?
They benefit from death, pain, and despair
Why are the magazines on the far front end of the gun on the thumbnail
This song could've been one of maidens best songs. Instrumentals were amazing but this song was ruined by Bruce. What were they thinking at 4:48 and 6:43?
bruce is cool or you just think his vocals are just not so good in this song but bruce is best vocalist anyways
The magazine.......
on of their best albuns ever! this song in particular is a Steve's particular tribute to Genesis Gabriel's era :)
Ea facil hablar de ells hoy que sabemos lo q8 eestan pensando, so little things o stragenge gas, only time will tell!¡ xDDD Si que podemos dominar al mundo antiguo pero pa hacer que .................... !? .... 😭😭😭😭😭😭 pa que!? Ellos tan makios ....
março de 2019
This song has one of the best build up of tension of any I've heard.. Particularly after you've heard it once...
One of the best metal songs
slow intro but eventually turns into a killer , great song, mediocre album.
One of the best albums they've ever made. That's right, come at me bro.
Perfect perfect perfect perfect song.
6:29 and then on, oh man.
My Favourite Maidens Song, It's a masterpiece!
The best song on the album.
Up the irons
Does anyone know what this song is about?
I think it's about WW1
The best maiden's album ever !
GOOSEBUMPS!
What an insane tune!
My favorite album , iron maiden
This sounds soo much like Blind Guardian.
What an incredible song
Most underrated song?
Најболја песма
This whole album on vinyl is just beautiful, vinyl is the way to go
OBRA MAESTRA!!! La cancion es excelente, y a partir del minuto 5:30 es épica
Excuse me going any where,doing any think,in ma imagine all time iron maiden
Extraordinários, magnânimos
amazing song from an amazing album of an amazing band
gênios gênios, simplesmente gênios
Salam The guitare s song is incroyable. It S The sheittàn songer
Legendary.
Maiden renew my blood again please ur mine never go to end
iron maiden is a gem. it so easy to find gems in all there albums. started listening to there later stuff. enjoy all of iron maiden! so glad to have them when all other modern rock is so weak.
Agunte fire HELL hellyiyo
I'm starting to like all these songs. . what's wrong with me?
2 are the most important days in the life of a metalhead! The day he was born and the day he first listened to Iron Maideeeeeeeeeeeen! \m/
178 People profit from pain and despair
5:12 is jut like classical music.... fitting perfect in orchestra.... just imagine....
4:46
Left to all our golden sons all to pick up on the peace!
You could have given all of them a little chance at least!
Take the world to a better place! Given them all just a little hope!
Just think what a legacy! You know will leave!
Up the Irons
Uma das minhas favoritas ❤ Não tem como não gostar dessa
TENHO EXCELENTES RECORDAÇÕES COM " THE LEGACY".
tell u thing to see u up the flour
5:30 and onward is amazing
I wonder if this band have ever written a single bad song ..... magnificent
i listen a lot of jethro tull in here.. listen to budapest for example...anyone?
In a career of so many great songs this one still stands out. Not well known, but so very good.
best of the world!!! this song touches my heart this song make me fell my soul ❤
legendary!
This is fucking beautiful :')
One of Iron Maidens most underrated songs, sad that their more recent stuff usually doesn't get the recognition it deserves.
SonnyBoi1978 you are dead right
the singer can put you to sleep and make you rage in the same song
Masterpiece..
I could not imagine this band with ANY other members . Nickos drumming , Harris, Smith,Murry, Gers, and the AIR RAID!!!!!!
supernatural melodies
fuck that was one tasty meal, time to smoke some blaaack gold baby
where the hell has this album been? its fucking amazing
I am not a hater just so some people know but i would have loved if they kept the tune from the start through the whole song
up the irons
I just noticed that those mag wells on those guns are most def in the wrong spot. Lmao.
What kind of weapon has its magazine so near the muzzle?
bren gun
Uuuuhm, no
There are no rifles that look like this. This reminds of an AR/M16. But why build such a long weapon if only 1/3 of its length is actually the barrel. This is just for the sake of art
A great band that inspired many newer great bands after.
Awkward Lila like what? Maiden are pretty one of a kind in my opinion. Judas Preist is similar, but still they're not maiden.
Rif from 5:30 is the same as empire of the clouds!
OMG,. awesome!!!!! HAHAHAHAHA
Bad audio quality
5:50 where eagles dare
6:16 empire of the clouds
Sabrina Sartori I knew I've heard that solo somewhere but I didn't know where..
So practically Dickinson steals the Gers' idea.
why are those rifles' magwells so far forward?
They don't have magwells.
Has anyone noticed the rif at 5:50 and later is the same as in the empire of the clouds?
Panos Kalpidis yeah it sounds like it
This is masterpiece ! ♥
Otro mas con mal sonido. Tenes que grabarlos con mejor definicion!
god this is band is amazing
Nat Gallo Amen to that
masterpiece..... up the iron maiden \m/
aynen kanka xd
Maiden can not be stopped!
Last song of the last reaally good Maiden's album. Only pure childhood memories!
Iron Maiden in times forever
Fuck yeah. I love Iron Maiden, bad ass song.
UP THE IRONS
1:35 sounds typically led zepplin :O
to put it simply
no Zep, Maiden would've never been mould
p.s. Maiden covered "Communication Breakdown"
SOFERAEOJOSER
Perfeita!!
Sem Palavras.
Anyone else notice how the guns have their magazines way in the front?
it kills me
I mean it looks cool, but it just won't work.
Jay Tea yeah I guess so... never noticed that lol
It's because if it were where it should be the mag would not be recognizable and would interfere with the cross
@FriendlyNeighbourhoodCrusader Yeah, it'd look messy from an artistic standpoint.
4:48 The desperation in Bruce´s voice at that part is haunting. The dark atmosphere they create with this song is incredible.
its not desperation lol, its just high notes
Maceta I
All I hear is his voice straining
AgentOfOblivion He’s actually not straining at all on this song. He’s singing quite effortlessly up to E5, which is very impressive. I’m trying to work on singing this song myself and it’s way difficult. Bruce does tend to strain a bit on notes above C5 nowadays. However, some of that is just his tone up there. He thins out quite a bit and brightens the tone but pulls up a lot of girth in the sound, leading to a sort of squeezed sounding sound. But to my ears, he’s not straining.
Why is this album So fucking Overlooked...
Second only to Powerslave in my Book.
+ProSTEEL RAIN I know man, everytime i see peoples list of favorites from Maiden but nobody ever mentions this one. Its my personal favorite.
Most people I see rate it the best since Bruce and Adrian returned. Obviously the band loves it since it's the only album ever played in it's entirety live.
This AMOLAD is a powerfull album,pity that people does not talk about it. Very solid album from maiden.
completely agree :)
better than brave new world no way!
Brave new world is awesome too
Alessandro Frioli what difference does it make if people talk about it?
Yes sir!
The last 4 minutes or so is absolutely spellbinding. It amazes me how they can finish not only these songs, but entire albums, with such raw emotion, passion, precision, and brutality.
none better when it comes to closing tracks!!
Chives5150 I wonder how many times they have to play their songs in the studio to get it this perfect.
totally agree
Scientific Seal they've been paying together for so many years..... so their chemistry is innate and inherent with what they write, imo
The song intro is spooky
