Hey, Donington, scream for me, fuck yeah
ย
Love is a razor and I walked the line on that silver blade
Slept in the dust with his daughter
Her eyes red with the slaughter of innocence
But I will pray for her
I will call her name out loud
I would bleed for her
If I could only see her now
Living on a razor's edge
Balancing on a ledge
Living on a razor's edge
Balancing on a ledge
Balancing on a ledge
Living on a razor's edge
Balancing on a ledge, you know, you know, sing it
The evil that men do lives on and on
The evil that men do lives on and on
The evil that men do (lives on and on)
The evil that men do lives on and on
Circle of fire, my baptism of joy at an end it seems
The seventh lamb slain
The book of life opens before me
And I will pray for her
Some day I may return
I will bleed for her
If I could only make her love
Living on a razor's edge
Balancing on a ledge
Living on a razor's edge, you know, sing this to me Donington
The evil that men do (lives on and on)
The evil that men do lives on and on
The evil that men do (lives on and on)
The evil that men do lives on and on
Living on a razor's edge
Balancing on a ledge
Living on a razor's edge, you know, you know
The evil that men do (lives on and on)
The evil that men do lives on and on
The evil that men do (lives on and on)
The evil that men do lives on and on
The evil, the evil, the evil that men do
The evil, the evil that men do

You know, of course
That every every word that we're singing
Every word that you're singing
Is going out absolutely live on the radio tonight, don't you
ย
And we discovered that, apparently everbody else did
Is that a 15 minute delay on whatever they said
So if they said anything naughty, it didn't get said, oops
However, tonight
This is going out absolutely 100% as we speak
Everyone's getting to be heard
So you may get to say a big "hello"
Anyway
This, this is a song about...
Oh, you may have noticed
Is all these stunners with film cameras and everything
Looking around here
ย
Can we shine a light on the R2D2 up here
There it is
No, not him, this one up here, sorry
There it is
This fella here, there it goes
This was the one
ย
That camera was on the track
That very same one
On a 100 meter long track
And that one, one that didn't go with it
It happens to be shooting tonight, 35 mil'
For the most mega Iron Maiden video film whatever
ย
And uh, you're all on it, alright?
ย
Officially go absolutely fuckin' mental for the face, let's go on
Right but this one
This is
This is for all the people
This is a song off the new album
It was written about the people who fought in the Gulf War
It's a song about how shitty war is
And how shitty war is that it started by politicians
And it has to be finished by ordinary people
That don't really wanna kill anybody
