Iron Maiden - The Great Unknown lyrics

Winter softly falling to the ground Calmly waiting don't you hear a sound When the world has fallen to the depths below Where the future's open and the fear has grown And the path to follow to the great unknown Where the dark has fallen and the seed is sown In the selfish hearts of some The nightmare's coming With the spilling blood of others Now wringing through Now the cup is spilling over Wake to news of d**h And the prophecy of sages Destiny is met To the depths of human mind The cry is burning With the mentor's anger Of the lesson ringing true And for those who live by and are dying by the sword They will take their ideals with them Justify their end Where the fools are lying and the meek are crying Where the wolves are preying On the weak alone Where the sons are dying Hear their mothers crying And the distant sound of fire Begins again Never ending the desires of men It'll never be the same or calm again In a time of changing hearts And great unknown It'll be the damnation and end of us all Where the fools are lying And the meek are crying Where the wolves are preying On the weak alone Where the sons are dying Hear their mothers crying And the distant sound of fire begins again Never ending the desires of men It'll never be the same or calm again In a time of changing hearts And great unknown It'll be the damnation and end of us all When the world has fallen And we stand alone...
