I was just wondering if I could be given the green light for publishing the lyrics of some Iron Maiden songs on this website. All rights would of course go to Iron Maiden. Only a handfull of their songs are unnerving enough to be classed as creepy, but so you can make your own judgment, here are the lyrics for 2 possible songs.

Dance of death

Let me tell you a story to chill the bones About a thing that I saw One night wandering in the everglades I'd one drink but no more

I was rambling, enjoying the bright moonlight Gazing up at the stars Not aware of a presence so near to me Watching my every move

Feeling scared and I fell to my knees As something rushed me from the trees Took me to an unholy place And that is where I fell from grace

Then they summoned me over to join in with them To the dance of the dead Into the circle of fire I followed them Into the middle I was led

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">As if time had stopped still I was numb with fear <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">But still I wanted to go <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">And the blaze of the fire did no hurt upon me <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">As I walked onto the coals

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">And I felt I was in a trance <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">And my spirit was lifted from me <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">And if only someone had the chance <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">To witness what happened to me

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">And I danced and I pranced and I sang with them <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">All had death in their eyes <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">Lifeless figures they were undead all of them <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;text-align:center;">They had ascended from hell

When the light begins to change I sometimes feel a little strange A little anxious when it's dark.

Fear of the dark,fear of the dark I have constant fear that something's always near Fear of the dark,fear of the dark I have a phobia that someone's always there

Have you run your fingers down the wall And have you felt your neck skin crawlWhen you're searching for the light ? Sometimes when you're scared to take a look At the corner of the room You've sensed that something's watching you.

Have you ever been alone at night Thought you heard footsteps behind And turned around and no-one's there ? And as you quicken up your pace You find it hard to look again Because you're sure there's someone there Watching horror films the night before Debating witches and folklore The unknown troubles on your mind Maybe your mind is playing tricks You sense,and suddenly eyes fixOn dancing shadows from behind.

Fear of the dark, fear of the dark I have a constant fear, thought you heard Fear of the dark, fear of the darkI have a phobia that someone's always there.

When I'm walking a dark road I am a man who walks alone Sorry if you can't read some lyrics, this format is a bitch. Let me know if its a good idea and I'll punctuate it and put it up.UP THE IRONS! <ac_metadata title="Anyone know Iron Maiden?"> </ac_metadata>
