the fugitive

Singer: iron maiden

on a cold october morning

as frost lay on the ground

waiting to make my move

i made no sound

waiting for the mist to cover all around

i carefully picked my time then took the wall

i'm sick and tired of running

the hunger and the pain

a stop to look about then off again

being at the wrong place

and at the wrong time

suspected of a hit that was my crime

i am a fugitive being hunted down like game

i am a fugitive but i've got to clear my name

always looking 'round me

forever looking back

i'll always be a target for attack

every morning onwards

always on the run

waiting for a sight of a loaded gun

even if i find them

and get to clear my name

i know that things can never be the same

but if i ever prove

my innocence some day

i've got to get them all to make them pay
