Iron Maiden

Back in the time when the gods would tell You what to do or you'll go to hell The father cried and the angels fell Constant reminder in the church's bell The fear of ending being stuck right here The same evil every year after year In the present we can see it clear One god, one being to fear The punishment for religious crimes... A sleeping place for the rest of time Bleed your soul - 50 piercing blades... The iron maiden where you've been laid An evil bishop in a chamber of hell He says the demons hide so well We'll have to bleed him from head to toe It's the only way to really know Disobey a priest or king It's all upon yourself you bring A bed of spikes for eternity Torture test - your will to be The punishment for religious crimes... A sleeping place for the rest of time (A sleeping place for the rest of time) Bleed your soul - 50 piercing blades... The iron maiden where you've been laid Up right and leaning for the blood to flow Drains you of life but slow Involuntary screams of pain The sound of blood like dripping rain Disobey a priest or king It's all upon yourself you bring A bed of spikes for eternity Torture test - your will to be The punishment for religious crimes... A sleeping place for the rest of time (A sleeping place for the rest of time) Bleed your soul - 50 piercing blades... The iron maiden where you've been laid
