Lyrics Iron Maiden – Revelations

«O God of Earth and Altar
Bow down and hear our cry
Our earthly rulers falter
Our people drift and die

Just a babe in a black abyss
No reason for a place like this
The walls are cold and souls cry out in pain
An easy way for the blind to go
A clever path for the fools who know
The secret of the Hanged Man — the smile on his lips

The light of the Blind — you’ll see
The venom tears my spine
The Eyes of the Nile are opening — you’ll see

She came to me with a serpent’s kiss
As the Eye of the Sun rose on her lips
Moonlight catches silver tears I cry
So we lay in a black embrace
And the Seed is sown in a holy place
And I watched, and I waited for the Dawn

The light of the Blind — you’ll see
The venom that tears my spine
The Eyes of the Nile are opening — you’ll see

Go

Bind all of us together
Ablaze with Hope and Free
