John Dee, aka Dr. Dee was an occultist, scientist and alchemist living in 1500s Mortlake, England. He was extremely famous at the time, since he had favor with the monarchy. Edward Kelley was one of his students who ended up betraying him.
just found out that the people in the song actually existed, never thought they did but aperently they did. intresting.... Edward Kelly even transated the enochian keys. sorry 4 my bad english
This was the first Iron Maiden song I ever heard. I was three years old when I heard this song and that's when I got interested in Iron Maiden. Oh, all those memories.
@vaahtobileet Nice try, but perfect spelling proves that you are definately at least ten and, judging from the fact you are commenting on an Iron Maiden video, I'd guess you are roughly sixteen, give or take a few years, and not a big fan of Iron Maiden, if at all, judging from your comment. You ain't fooling anyone, especially not now.
While I'm here, this song isn't the best Iron Maiden song I've heard (I prefer The Trooper), but it's still great. ROCK ON, IRON MAIDEN!
@Swarmlord43 No shit lol. Judging from the fact that you just realized a four-year-old isn't commenting on Youtube, I'd say you're about four years old yourself. Maybe five. I'm nineteen and I do like Iron Maiden slightly more than I like manhandling four-year-old boys during the night.
@vaahtobileet Smart. Nice trick. You steadily move the conversition from how you don't know iron maiden that well. And then start picking on Swarmlord43. I will remember to use this trick. :D
@sandoredoma I don't know what you're talking about. Obviously I'm aware that The Final Frontier came out in 2010. It seems my attempt at humour was lost on everyone, but that's not the first time on Youtube. Seriously, how many four-year-olds do you people think are on Youtube?
I could make a joke here about the intelligence of metalheads but I'd be insulting myself too, so I won't.
@sandoredoma Someone once said "The funnier a joke is, the less people get it." I don't know if that's true but if it is, I just made the world's funniest joke. Seriously, lighten up (is that an oxymoron?) and apply some common sense. How could a four-year-old type this? If you need even two seconds to consider whether my original comment was written by a four-year-old child, you're a four-year-old child. It's not my problem that people who read it lack the ability to analyze text.
@vaahtobileet Two things. One, I'm almost eighteen. Two, the joke was not funny at all, and I tell enough bad jokes (and, occationally, good ones) in my free time to recognise when a joke can be funny and when it can't. Maybe it would work better in fact-to-face conversation, but, on the internet, the irony is completely lost on the reader. With that said, let's just let this argument end here, as it's a waste of space and not helping anyone for any reason.
@Swarmlord43 I guess my joke turned into an unintended troll comment when you started to analyze my real age. It did provide me with a few confused laughs, so mission accomplished I guess.
92% of teens these days listen to the same crappy pop over and over again. If you're one of the 8% who still listens to real music, thumb this up, then copy and paste it to at least five videos. Don't let the spirit of rock and roll die
@alexrockchick i made lyrics videos of all songs from the new album, check out my channel! if you can't see all the videos from the new album just change your country to U.S.A, 'cause some videos are blocked in several countries due to copyright ¬¬
further also he looked rather foolish after this, and he kind of lived in exile, and the banishment was sort of an imposition of the Roman-catholic church, who didn't like any kind of Occultism, not because it was devil worship, simply because NEVEr have religion and Science seen eye to eye, so its a threat. thats enough rant, lets get back to enjoying this fuckin bad ass song
This song made me look up to the life of this "Dr Dee".
He was an extremely brilliant man who could be the second "Einstein" but he was a victim of his community during all his life , thus he died with a doubtful reputation.
@istarilight You do know there was more to the story, John Dee was disgraced becase, not only was he a "Conjurer" (Occultist), By Occultism we of course refer to science, (Astronomy=astrology, alchemy=chemistry), one of elizabeths right hand men he was obsessed with however finding a way to communicate with the dead, he was a brilliant guy, but he was disgraced when he was swindled by a charlaton posing as a spirit medium, and for his interest in dark magick, he was banished from his courtship.
@strangechicken Of course , of course.But , explaining all of this would need me to put away my boredom.Besides , you my friend did it better than how I would.Thank you :)

Love the way the lirics are expressed as if the character is telling a story as the song goes along. This, along with amazing melodies and a tight bass player and drummer make Maiden what they are- truly unique.. True poetic metal.
awesome
