Run To The Hills[Steve Harris]White man came across the seaHe brought us pain and miseryHe killed our tribes killed our creedHe took our game for his own needWe fought him hard we fought him wellOut on the plains we gave him hellBut many came too much for CreeOh will we ever be set free?Riding through dustclouds and barren wastesGalloping hard on the plainsChasing the redskins back to their holesFighting them at their own gameMurder for freedom the stab in the backWomen and children are cowards attackRun to the hills, run for your livesRun to the hills, run for your livesSoldier blue in the barren wastesHunting and killing their gameRaping the women and wasting the menThe only good Indians are tameSelling them whiskey and taking their goldEnslaving the young and destroying the oldRun to the hills, run for your lives[repeat to end]7. Gangland[Adrian Smith and Clive Burr]Shadows may hide you but also may be your graveYou're running today maybe tomorrow you'll be savedYou pray for daylight to save you for a whileYou wonder if your children will face the killer's smileDead men - tell no talesIn Gangland - murders up for saleDead men - tell no talesIn Gangland - where jail birds dieFace at the window leers into your ownBut it's only your reflection still you tremble in your bonesHow long can you hide? How long 'till they come?A rat in a trap but you've got to surviveOnce you were glad to be free for a whileThe air tasted good and the world was your friendThen came the day when the hard times beganNow you're alone but alive for how long?Dead men - tell no talesIn Gangland - murders up for saleDead men - tell no talesIn Gangland - where jail birds dieA knife at your throat another body on the pileA contract to keep and it's service with a smileMurder for vengeance or murder for gainDeath on the streets or a blacked out jailDead men - tell no talesIn Gangland - murders up for saleDead men - tell no talesIn Gangland - where jail birds dieIn Gangland you tell no tales8. Total Eclipse[Steve Harris, Dave Murray and Clive Burr]Cold as steel the darkness waits its hour will come.A cry of fear from our children worshipping the sun.Mother natures' black revenge on those who wasted her life.War babies in the garden of Eden,Shall turn our ashes to ice.Sunrise has gone, freezing up the fires.Sunrise has gone, numbing our desires.Around the world the people stop,With terror stricken eyes.A shadow cast upon them all,To crush them like a fly.In the icy rain and whiplashed seas,There's nowhere left to run.The hammer blows of winter fall like a hurricane.Sunrise has gone, freezing up the fires.Sunrise has gone, numbing our desires.Around the world the nations wait,For some wise word from their leading light.You know it's not only madmen who listen to fools.Is this the end, the millions cried,Clutching their riches as they died.Those who survive must weather the storm.Gone are the days when man looked down.They've taken away his sacred crown.To be set free, it took so long.It's not journey's end, it's just begun.9. Hallowed Be Thy Name[Harris]I'm waiting in my cold cell when the bell begins to chimeReflecting on my past life and it doesn't have much timeCos at 5 o'clock they take me to the Gallows PoleThe sands of time for me are running lowWhen the priest comes to read me the last ritesI take a look through the bars at the last sightsOf a world that has gone very wrong for meCan it be there's some sort of errorHard to stop the surmounting terrorIs it really the end not some crazy dreamSomebody please tell me that I'm dreamingIt's not so easy to stop from screamingBut words escape me when I try to speakTears they flow but why am I cryingAfter all I am not afraid of dyingDon't believe that there is never an endAs the guards march me out to the courtyardSomeone calls from a cell "God be with you"If there's a God then why has he let me die?As I walk all my life drifts before meAnd though the end is near I'm not sorryCatch my soul cos it's willing to fly awayMark my words please believe my soul lives onPlease don't worry now that I have goneI've gone beyond to see the truthWhen you know that your time is close at handmaybe then you'll begin to understandLife down there is just a strange illusion.Yeah, yeah, yeah, Hallowed be thy nameYeah, yeah, yeah, Hallowed be thy name
