2 minutes to midnight

Singer:iron maiden

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?

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
