Iron Maiden - The Legacy (lyrics)

[MrJones668]

One of many MASTERPIECES from the irons ....

[norden843]

Detta är inteligent heavy metal. Jag brukar förklara iron maidens själ med att dom spelar viktorianskt, alltså metal med något historiskt berättande. Eller berättande form av kritik eller skapande av politisk opinion. Men framför allt en berättelse till deras fantastiska musik som skapar en unik stämmning som naglar en fast. Maiden gör mitt liv rikare på en andlig nivå

[predature1]

the poor people that missed the like button

[LEMONHEADCHRIS]

now we know 7 deaf people watched this video and were stubborn so they hit dislike

[CorvusInsanity]

[ZAK31591]

Long live Iron Maiden! Long live Metal in all it's forms! 

[RikkiIdol]

[futaenokiwami48]

@spinytoad286 thanks bro :D

[futaenokiwami48]

This is my favorite song. It is just perfect, it has everything, Iron Maiden has everything.

Sorry for my english, this is my third language.

[spinytoad286]

@futaenokiwami48 u spelt everything right



[XxTh3H3adbang3rxX]

Still one of the best heavy metal kings to walk the earth. Hail Iron Maiden.

[KUDOxSHINICHI]

does anyone know how to play it on guitar please ?

[navyseal129]

iron maiden way etter then any other of these rappers or justin bever

[KarimBoctorAwad]

This song goes to all the politicians and there lousy ways!

[DonRonNizzle]

Intro is so similar to The Talisman

[DapaCapa]

@DonRonNizzle i was just thinking the same thing :D

[jaeday2020]

i love the transition from aucostic to electric 8-D thumbs up if u agree

[kgp227]

\m/ up the irons \m/

[Drummer23Scarecrow]

this song is short :[

[migueljr100]

the best one, a masterpiece....no more words....

[mrOvertow]

Idiots: " iron maiden sucks! its just endless streams of bad noise"

me: "have you even heard one song with them?"

idiots: no...but still.

me: "prepare to die, you fucking abominations!"

[UltraMojo13]

9 minutes & 23 seconds of complete awesomness ...xD

[binksetvolume]

the beginning of the solo reminded me song of Tenacious D "The Metal" =)

[Rason95]

lol , and my friend told me the that song does not exist...

i gotta say only one thing to them MORONS !!! xD

[endlessviolence]

i wish the solo was longer :> but still awesome !_!

[johnnyboy221094]

On a lyrical viewpoint, this is probably the best Maiden song ever. The lyrics are just so.... deep, so touching, yet so scary. Makes you think.

Up the motherfucking Irons from a Brave New World!

[Hasni5189591]

thumbs up if you like the part between 0:00 and 9:23 and think that the rest is BS :P

[UltraMojo13]

i hear my friends telling me that i am old fashioned at the music part....(super MAIDEN fan....).....and telling me to start to listen to bieber and other stupid music....EVEN IN 2100 AND MORE ,PEOPLE WILL LISTEN TO IROOOON MAIDEEEEN....xD...!!!!!!!!!!!

[szalaiandris]

@UltraMojo13 I hope you have killed 'em all!

[thrasherage]

@UltraMojo13 Death to bieiber. long the IRON MAIDEN

[HellkeeperNr1]

Love good lyrics!... Utter trust is a deadly thing...

[masterplan13]

The lyrics in this are amazing! When I first heard this song it was in '07 when I was 13, and since then I've always been coming back to it and the whole album. I still think it's amazing! One of their most underrated albums and this is definitely THE most underrated song!

[sharkenryshark1]

I think thata a matter of life and death is the most beutiful maiden's album \m/

[amen77787]

iron maiden "SUCKS DICK"

[inperatieloos]

@amen77787 don't conduse Iron Maiden with yourself, pal ;-)

[goshtheresnonames]

The lyrics are kinda creepy in the beginning. A strange yellow gas has played with their minds has reddened their eyes removed all the lies o.O

[TragedySoldier]

@goshtheresnonames It's a song based on war. Most of Maiden's war songs reflect to WWI. That is why the lyrics are as they are.

[MrGoldenGothic]

btw i don't think iron maiden fails im a life long fan:)

[MrGoldenGothic]

''two minutes of your time and on you go'' but the song is 9:23 min long..... that could be considerd a fail...but iron maiden is godlike and when you are godlike then you don't fail....and the song is clearly a mastepice.....im confused... :S

[TragedySoldier]

@MrGoldenGothic The whole purpose of the introduction. 'Two minutes of your time.' was a reference to when they were recruiting for WWI. It doesn't refer to the song being two minutes long.

[MrGoldenGothic]

@TragedySoldier oh, that makes a lot of sense.

[TragedySoldier]

@MrGoldenGothic The whole song is about WWI, The gas was just as the lyrics describe, so was every part of this song. xP Hope it clears up the meaning of the song for you. ;P

[MrGoldenGothic]

@TragedySoldier i understand where the song is about but some lyrics didn't seem to make sense, but now it does xD

[TragedySoldier]

@MrGoldenGothic :P Enjoy Maiden's songs! Each one has a meaning behind the great sound.

[MrGoldenGothic]

@TragedySoldier i know, i've bin a fan for over 10 years add all songs indeed do. their lyrics are just mindblowing and the sound epic.

[maw19992]

@MrGoldenGothic ........... yeah it should be "ten minutes of your time and on you go"

[AvengeTheHopelsss]

yes its true not many know about this song is awesome , the lyrics is so deep on the truth

[mrOvertow]

UP THE IRONS FROM SWEDEN!!!

[ThyKillerKira]

This is by far their best song ever.

[RunToTheHillls]

if you wanna listen to good music just type "Iron Maiden" in youtube search and click on a random clip. you have about... 100% ceratinty to get a masterpiece of modern or classic heavy metal music(good stuff)

UP THE IRONS!!!

[icsvortex665]

@RunToTheHillls it s not just music dude

[kangal8]

In my opinion one of the best maiden songs. Definetly the most EPIC

[Axazix]

UP THE IRONS FROM FUCKING VENUS!

[RunToTheHillls]

the intro couldn't have been more epic, the song couldn't have been more awesome, Iron Maiden couldn't have been greater band. Gods of heavy metal

[henkfapper]

True... Just all of it

[Zzac1223]

This song is amazing.

[kawuniadarunia2]

4:48 BRUCE'S HIGH PARTS ARE MIND-BLOWING!!!

[66ORION]

This has to be one of my favorite Iron maiden songs EVER!!!!!

[samboy1288]

You know, if you just feel like sitting down and listening, then matter of life and death is an enjoyable listen. at least in my ears it is.

[Mattallica901]

these long epics that they always have on the last track of their last few albums are so underated

[MrMetalTemplar]

It is the best song

Hail from Poland !!!!!!!!!!

[Weirdgus]

I love this song, it's so fcking epic! <3

[UndeadBeaner]

Irons Up From The Death Bed!

[JANICKGERSBEST]

BEST Janick's compositions before dance of death :P

Janick is a god !!

[phoenix7289]

@JANICKGERSBEST this came out after Dance of Death >_>

[JANICKGERSBEST]

@phoenix7289 lol i say before -_- i wanna say after xD

[laleyendadejuan]

5:30 EPIC!

UP THE IRONS FROM CHILE!

[metalrulesforrever]

iron maiden is one of those few bands that will have such a huge legacy

iron maiden perhaps is one of if not the greatest bands ever

the guitar is beutifuly played and well placed

the drums keep it all in motion

the vocals are so beutifuly high and give such a thrill that i cant describe

while the bass well i dont think there will ever be another steve harris he has magical fingers that make him the best

with all of this combined EARGASM

[lebrave666]

De la bonne guitare rythmique, des bon solo mélodique et un chant à la bruce a partir de 6min 42sec

du gros Maiden quoi

domage que j'ai laché Iron Maiden depuis quelque temps

[Rob13sessed]

i like the bunny at the beginning :D

[Metal4902]

I hate 9:23 ...so i need to listen it few times cause this song u can't describe with words...it's to way great. I live for Iron maiden. Up the irons from the whole Universe \,,/

[Chaverri691]

i really hope tha dos not happen like metallica because all of their fans know metallica only because they have a guitar hero and all the bunch of idiots if you ask a song their gonna say one master of puppets and nothing else matters

iron maiden for life until the death

[TwistedxMini]

Nicko's drums!!! <333

[kikirikou666]

one word...AWESOME !!!!!

[JorrieboyL]

This song should be at least twice as long (just like any other maiden song)

[saedt]

Love that riff at 6:30 it just makes me cum.

The whole song is just fucking epic.

[RunToTheHillls]

epic intro epic lyrics epic song !! only time will tell !!!just love it

[Shiny41]

i know this song, is fucking great !

but, the new song " The Talisman " reminds me a little bout this one.

[4x4JeepCj8]

@Shiny41 you'r right

and in my opinion both songs are Epic

Maiden Rulezzzz \m/

[AXELY2J100]

creepy at the beginning but is awesome

[mrberra94]

best song ever

[Faschel]

one of the best beginnings ...

[notenoughgaseline97]

at 3:45 its begin to understand not begin understand

but anyways great video

[nativereppin239]

160 troopers :'D

[117Assassin]

IRON MAIDEN is the shit! All my respects 2 IRON MAIDEN for he is the God of the DEAD he lifts up my fuckin Soul!! And for those who Hating just dont say a fucking word dont even post anything just turn around and walk away U Cant Fuck With The DEAD!!!!!! My Song For When I Join The Marines!

[skubikskuba]

UP THE IRONS from POLAND

[sarvok69]

nirvana sux ass but to each is their own not gonna be a complete ass love the hell out of this song one of the best ending songs for an album can't wait till maien comes back to houston again they always put on a spectacular show

[samboy1288]

The fact is this: in retrospect, perhaps this album was a disappointment. but it's still better than a lot of today's music, and infinitely better than no prayer for the dying or either of the blaze bayley maiden albums.

[mightybeard1]

1800 views is that it dam shame 

[TheRekien]

iron maiden is the best band ever '-'....for many aspecsts..not only because they music rules...but also cause they're not like many other bands out there....who onlu write lirics about love or some crazy shit that you cant understand nothing....they make lirics about history, religion, ans many other things that make them at lest a unique band

[SuPLethaL]

Up the Irons From North Carolina USA! Iron maiden Is the best band and has told evrey story about history POSSIBLE! from The english killing Indians all the way to a war torn affray where babys burn! .. (those songs would be Run to the hills and blood brothers) GO MAIDEN THUMBS UP IF YOU THINK EDDIE IS FUCKING EPIC!

[sgaga123455]

different than the maiden stuff i usualy like... but very, very good

[syperany]

longer song than this i haven't seen yet

[kdth63j]

@syperany rime of the acient mariner on the cd live after death it's almost 14 minutes

[TheRekien]

@syperany hahaha you sure didnt hear much iron maiden sogns then

[syperany]

@TheRekien

I admit I didn't ! I don't listen them! This is the first their song that I heard! It was 2 weeks ago!

[nerfbatters]

This song is glorious. I love this band so much, and while their older stuff may be more memorable, this album is amazing nonetheless.

[nerfbatters]

This song is glorious. I love this band so much, and while their older stuff may be more memorable, this album is amazing nonetheless.

[LOidos2000]

I'm in love with the song, best part DEFINETELY 0:00 - 9:23

[WrathchildNH]

Iron Maiden songs are exactly as long as they need to be.....the band never rushes into a song...every one plays out like a story....if 8 minutes is a problem for you.....you need to up your dose of ridilin stop watchin the squirrels out the window

[mayvena]

Great song, probably the best in the album. Up the Irons! \m/

[themis4hotmailcom]

yeah..very litlle fans know about this song..,thumbs up you fans of the MAIDEN if u like the sonng..!

[Reverentpolytheist]

Why does this song sound like our society? Anyone? Ah, who gives a shit, it kicks ass!

[Enes007]

this songs make me think man...what a beautiful beginning.

[evh5150hawaii]

I love everything from 0:00 to 9:23 After that, it's horrible. ;D

[angryboy2k9]

Iron Maidens idea of 2 minutes.... A (nearly) 10 minute song!

[MurphTheFurer]

love this song!!

[eddieriggs1]

i sang this for a remembrance day service at my school :)

[heavencharge987]

this song is probally 1 of the best they have made

[Haku92292]

A few of there songs are good, but they're not really melodic. Maiden on the other hand...the must be the reincarnation's of mythical gods.

[zxLoneWolf]

btw anyone know the tabs to this song?!

[angryboy2k9]

@zxLoneWolf I have a tab/chord book for this album, I can try to get some pictures and send them to u?

[zxLoneWolf]

Gotta love the way they built up during the first 3 minutes

made the rest of the song perfect

hell the build-up was perfect

5 *

[OMaRFuzzy]

Many Maiden fans don't know about this song .... what a shame.

[bensicool22]

@OMaRFuzzy I'm not a fan but my friend is a BIG fan of maiden and made me listen to this and all i can say is WOW! this song is so fucking great! but brave new world is their best song!

[OMaRFuzzy]

@bensicool22 Aha Well That's a Good Friend : D

...And yes it is an Awesomee Songg and well

As far as their Best song goes ...

I'd say Rainmaker ...But then again everyone has

Their own choice.

[1995DarkAngel]

@OMaRFuzzy All thier songs are amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm surpried there is unknown songs!

[OMaRFuzzy]

@1995DarkAngel Bahahaa .... :D Ohh That's Soo True

[doctordelfuturo]

@OMaRFuzzy I know!!! hahaha this is one of my very very but freakin very favorites!!!!!!!!

[erik060208]

this song is WAY to short :(

[1thebestthereis1]

...

[TheAtomic1234321]

@erik060208  its 9 minutes

[GmanBruce]

@erik060208

I couldnt say it better :D:D

And I like that yr comment has 21 thumps up :D - reminds me of...well, what about a lot of people complaining about maiden new songs being too long ? :D:D:D

anyone ? :) - true masterpiece!!!

[yxsh]

@erik060208 yea sure haha

[dellothedrummer94]

UP THE IRONS from Italy!

And soon the new fantastic album!

[comander38]

i love this song

the voice at 6:42 is awesome

[cadfog]

I love that riff that kicks in at 6:30.

[jonfender123]

I like Iron Maiden and Nirvana too. They are great bands.

[Raidon199E]

@jonfender123 if you like them you prolly like metallica too right?

[jonfender123]

Yes Metallica is awesome too.

[firelazerblargg]

ther are no words to describe this beauty

[seraph186]

This is EPIC but what is the meaning of this song really? What a man or "Men" can do to construct a legacy? Idk XP

[ericsingerthebest]

@seraph186: the meaning is that men do everything for their advantage. people are killed, starve, suffer etc. the word "legacy" describes what we leave to our childern. either we go on like this and our kids will too, or we change ourselves and show our kids how great the world can be if everybody cares for each other

btw: one of maiden's best lyrics. jannick gers is a great songwriter but mostly underrated

[cadfog]

@seraph186-I think it's one of those songs where it's left to interpretation. I do seem to remember one of the members of Maiden saying in an interview that it was about one person in particular, but he wouldn't say who. That being said, it's probably my favorite song from A Matter of Life and Death.

[kagruakarate]

@cadfog, I always thought it was Hitler but I guess thats up to interpretation as well.

[sheogorath1]

so freaking awesome.. The geatest band ever!

[loomansboy2]

hes making a reference to mustard gas

[8006robert]

this is not IM this is Bruces solo carrier band

[clansmaninlove]

wikipedia, google, anything is your friend. use your friend's help :)

[DT456789]

\m/

[Akbar271]

Death, pain and despair thats all they bring...fuckers

[KrazyKreep2]

you have to give me credit though i did memeroize the first part by just listening to what i heard

[KrazyKreep2]

ok on the part with the gass you have it right i was wrong but hay even the bigest iron maiden fan makes mistakes

[KrazyKreep2]

the begening of the song goes like this "let me tell you a thing you ought to know 2 minutes of your time thing on you go tell tale of a man all dressed in black that most of them not coming back sent off to war to play little games apon there return and name no names some strange yellow gas has played with there minds has redened there eyes and move them alive as strange as it sounds death know no bounds how many get well only time will tell..." yes i have heard the song enough to know that

[meliiwasnthere]

iron maiden for life!

[furial2]

Damn i just didnt listen to iron maiden for toooo long i missed the awesomeness of this band..and now its all coming back <3

UP THE IRONS FROM GREECE

[hatseplats]

that part from 4.40 to 5.10 is the best part ever

[Planetwatts]

"Two minute of your time then on you go" - I LOVE Maiden's Idea of two minutes... (Being over 9 minutes of awesome song) :D

[McJohnGr]

This album could not have a better song to end.This song is a pure masterpiece combining every element an operatic super-meanningful track must have.The extraordinary composing skills of Steve(and Janic's as well) are revealed through this unique state-of-the-art song.I m glad that God gave them strengh to carry on and hopefully, give me one of the most important things in my life,Maiden.Long live and see you on the road...AGAIN!!!(Waiting for the next album of course!)

[jqsue]
