Two Minutes To Midnight lyrics

Artist  : Iron Maiden 
Song : Two Minutes To Midnight
 


Kill for gain or shoot to maim, but we don't need
a reason
The Golden Goose is on the loose and
never out of season
Blackened pride still
burns inside this shell of bloody
treason
Here's my gun for a barrel of fun for
the love of living death

The killer's
breed or the demon's seed
The glamour, the
fortune, the pain
Go to war again, blood is
freedom's stain
But don't you pray for my soul
anymore
2 minutes to midnight, the hands that
threaten doom
2 minutes to midnight, to kill
the unborn in the womb

The blind men shout
let the creatures out, we'll show the
unbelievers
The napalm screams of human
flames, of a prime time Belsen
feast...YEAH!
As the reasons for the carnage
cut their meat and lick the gravy
We oil the
jaws of the war machine and feed it with our
babies


The killer's breed or the
demon's seed
The glamour, the fortune, the
pain
Go to war again, blood is freedom's
stain
But don't you pray for my soul
anymore
2 minutes to midnight, the hands that
threaten doom
2 minutes to midnight, to kill
the unborn in the womb

(2:45-Solo: Dave
Murray)
(3:06-Solo: Adrian Smith)

The
body bags and little rags of children torn in
two
And the jellied brains of those who remain
to put the finger right on you
As the madmen
play on words and make us all dance to their
song
To the tune of starving millions, to make
a better kind of gun


The killer's breed
or the demon's seed
The glamour, the fortune,
the pain
Go to war again, blood is freedom's
stain
But don't you pray for my soul
anymore
2 minutes to midnight, the hands that
threaten doom
2 minutes to midnight, to kill
the unborn in the
womb

Midnight...midnight....it's all
night
Midnight...midnight....all night!
