Iron Maiden: Flight 666 is a 2009 British/Canadian documentary film featuring the heavy metal band Iron Maiden. The film follows the band on the first leg of their Somewhere Back in Time World Tour between February and March 2008.
-----------------------
Hear the rime of the ancient mariner
See his eye as he stops one of three
Mesmerizes one of the wedding guests
Stay here and listen to the nightmares of the sea.

And the music plays on, as the bride passes by
Caught by his spell and the mariner tells his tale.

Driven south to the land of the snow and ice
To a place where nobody's been
Through the snow fog flies on the albatross
Hailed in gods name, hoping good luck it brings.

And the ship sails on, back to the north
Through the fog and ice and the albatross follows on.

The mariner kills the bird of good omen
His shipmates cry against what hes done
But when the fog clears, they justify him
And make themselves a part of the crime.

Sailing on and on and north across the sea
Sailing on and on and north til all is calm.

The albatross begins with its vengeance
A terrible curse a thirst has begun
His shipmates blame bad luck on the mariner
About his neck, the dead bird is hung.

And the curse goes on and on at sea
And the curse goes on and on for them and me.

Day after day, day after day,
We stuck nor breath nor motion
As idle as a painted ship upon a painted ocean
Water, water everywhere and
All the boards did shrink
Water, water everywhere nor any drop to drink.

There calls the mariner
There comes a ship over the line
But how can she sail with no wind in her sails and no tide.

See...onward she comes
Onward she nears out of the sun
See, she has no crew
She has no life, wait but here's two.

Death and she life in death,
They throw their dice for the crew
She wins the mariner and he belongs to her now.
Then...crew one by one
They drop down dead, two hundred men
She...she, life in death.
She lets him live, her chosen one.

  • Only Maiden can do this epic songs...

  • @69ofdoom

    you mean hardcore, metalcore and deathcore? if so then i entirely agree. it's overproduced, uninspired, uncreative rubbish. they're more hardcore than metal so i generally don't even consider them metal bands

    death metal and other extreme metal subgenres though are totally different.

  • The best fucking song in the fucking world!

  • @69ofdoom Most metal nowadays is underground, and metal like all music is MUCH more varied than in the old days. The shit you refer to is just the one new thing getting noticed, but GREAT metal and music in general is still being made. Tons of it, in fact. More than ever before. You just have to find it.

    Just from the area I was born in, I can easily name several great heavy/metal bands, like Profane Omen (Wastehead), Kill the Romance (Blood Bell), Before the Dawn (Deadsong) etc.

  • I know it's not loud enough because I can't feel the bass
