Iron Maiden - Back In The Village

(Smith, Dickinson)
Turn the spotlights on the people, switch the dial and eat the worm
Take your chances, kill the engine, drop your bombs and let it burn
White flags shot to ribbons, the truce is black and burned
Shellshock in the kitchen, tables overturned

Back in the village again, in the village
I'm back in the village again
Throwing dice now, rolling loaded, I see sixes all the way
In a black hole, and I'm spinning, as my wings get shot away
Questions are a burden and answers a prison for oneself
Shellshock in the kitchen, tables start to burn

Back in the village again, in the village
I'm back in the village again
(2:31-Solo: Dave Murray)
(3:14-Solo: Adrian Smith)

No breaks on the inside, paper cats and burning barns
There's a fox among the chickens, and a killer in the hounds
Questions are a burden and answers a prison for oneself
Shellshock in the kitchen, tables start to burn

Back in the village again, in the village
I'm back in the village again
But still we walk into the valley, and others try to kill the inner flame
We're burning brighter than before, I don't have a number I'M A NAME!

Back in the village again, in the village
