مثل خیلی از کارهای Maiden ، یه اثر ضد جنگ محسوب میشه و نوعی هشداره برای رهبران جهان در مورد یک آخر الزمان هسته ای ، اتفاقی که به عقیده خیلی از کارشناسان و دانشمندان روزی میفته و نابودی جهان به وسیله ی یک جنگ هسته ای بزرگ ، رقم میخوره ... . . تو کاور این کار جذاب ، "ادی" شخصیت شرور نماد گروه رو میبینیم که به سبک عمو سام به سمتمون اشاره کرده در حالی که جلوی ویرانه ی سازمان ملل نشسته و پرچم کشورهای اتحاد جماهیر شوروی ، افغانستان ، عراق ، ایران ، بریتانیا ، آمریکا ، اسرائیل و کوبا پشت سرش دیده میشن . کشورهایی که در زمان انتشار آهنگ ، به صورت مستقیم یا غیر مستقیم درگیر جنگ بودند. . . بشنویم با هم ??
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 Don't you pray for my soul anymore
Two minutes to midnight The hands that threaten doom Two 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 Don't you pray for my soul anymore
Two minutes to midnight The hands that threaten doom Two minutes to midnight To kill the unborn in the womb
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 don't you pray for my soul anymore
Two minutes to midnight The hands that threaten doom Two minutes to midnight To kill the unborn in the womb
Midnight Midnight Midnight It's all night Midnight Midnight Midnight It's all night Midnight, all night
