Iron Maiden - The Prophecy (Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son)

(Murray/Harris)

Now that I know that the right time has come
My prediction will surely be true
The impending disaster it looms
And the whole of the village is doomed
Why won't you listen to me
It is so hard to understand
That I am the real seventh son
Your life or death on me depends

Suffering and pain impending disaster
Souls crying the devil's laughter
Heard the cry of the seven whistlers
Lucifer smiles looks on and waits

I'll take your life in my hands
Your fate your fortune's in my visions
Heed what I say and you'll see
What will be
Please listen to me

Now that they see the disaster is done
Now they put all the blame unto me
They feel I brought on a curse
Don't they know that the torment
It stays with me knowing that I walk alone
Through the eyes of the future I see
They don't even know what fear is
Don't they know I'm the one who is cursed

Purgatory beckons souls lost forever
Life after death or heaven hereafter
Heard the call of the seven whistlers again
Now Lucifer laughs hell awaits

I had their lives in my hands
Their fate their fortunes in my visions
No one believed in my true prophecy
And now it's too late

disaster it looms and the whole of the village is doomed Why won't you listen to me? Is it so hard
to understand That I am the real seventh son, your life or death on me depends Suffering and pain
impending disaster, souls crying the devil's slaughter I've heard the cry of the seven whistlers,

The ending is great. But my favourite is seventh son, when the drums start to increase and then begins the guitar's "battle", with suporting of the bass and drums, probably the best end for a song ever.

A little underrated gem. The ending is brilliant, as is the riffs (especially 1:51 to 2:24) and the lyrics as always.
