Iron Maiden — Back In The Village (Powerslave 1984; Digital Remaster 1998)

Текст песни: Back In The Village (Powerslave 1984; Digital Remaster 1998)

[Verse 1]
Turn the spotlights on the people
Switch the dial and eat the worm
Take your chances, kill the engine
Drop your bombs and let it burn

[Pre-Chorus 1]
White flags shot to ribbons
The truce is black and burned
Shellshock in the kitchen
Tables overturned

[Chorus]
Back in the village again
In the village
I'm back in the village again

[Verse 2]
Throwing dice now, rolling loaded
I see sixes all the way
In a black hole, and I'm spinning
As my wings get shot away

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Questions are a burden
And answers are a prison for oneself
Shellshock in the kitchen
Tables start to burn
[Chorus]
Back in the village again
In the village
I'm back in the village again

[Instrumental Break 2:07-3:28]

[Verse 3]
No breaks on the inside
Paper cats and burning barns
There's a fox among the chickens
And a killer in the hounds

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Questions are a burden
And answers are a prison for oneself
Shellshock in the kitchen
Tables start to burn

[Chorus]
Back in the village again
In the village
I'm back in the village again

[Verse 4]
But still, we walk into the valley
And others try to kill the inner flame
We're burning brighter than before
I don't have a number, I'm a name
[Chorus]
Back in the village again
In the village
I'm back in the village again, yeah
I'm back in the village again
In the village
I'm back in the village again

[Outro]
Back in the village and I'm back in the village and I'm back in the village
Again
