Iron Maiden - Still Life

Album: Piece Of Mind

Still Life lyrics:

Take a look in the pool and what do you see
In the dark depths there faces beckoning me
Can't you see them it's plain for all to see
They were there oh I know you don't believe me.

Oh...I've never felt so strange
But...I'm not going insane.

I've no doubt that you think I'm off my head
You don't say but it's in your eyes instead
Hours I spend out just gazing into that pool
Something draws me there I don't know what to do.

Oh...they drain my strength away
Oh...they're asking me to stay.

Nightmares...spirits calling me
Nightmares...they won't leave me be.

All my life's blood is slowly draining away
And I feel that I'm weaker every day
Somehow I know I haven't long to go
Joining them at the bottom of the pool.

Now...I feel they are so near
I...begin to see them clear

Nightmares...coming all the time
Nightmares...Will give me peace of mind.

Now it's clear and I know what I have to do
I must take you down there to look at them too
Hand in hand then we'll jump right into the pool
Can't you see not just me they want you too.

Oh...we'll drown together
It...will be forever.

Nightmares...forever calling me
Nightmares...Now we rest in peace.

@IronA7X It's like: FUCK YEAH, WE DID IT !

[absolute677]

For those that are not aware this is from "Children of the Pool" by H.P. Lovecraft as ara few other songs and a few from Metallica

[Beauxbesica66]

the first time I heard this song I thought the message sounded all ominous and stuff... and then I found out what nicko was really saying. haha. I still really love this song, it's one of my favorites by Iron Maiden <3

[ATeam192]

This is far and away my favorite Maiden song, and in my opinion Bruce's best vocal. Love the dynamics.

@deliciousmorton I always wondered what the hek that was about. I'm not at all disappointed :)

[ATeam192]

@IronA7X yeah that was either the sound engineer, or producer in the control room. Guess he liked what heard...who wouldn't?

@OneEyedJack1970 Not 100% sure, Nicko always finds a way to make his voice heard on albums. On Losfer Words and Wildest Dreams he does the 1,2,3,4 count and Thin Line Between Love and Hate he says "Fuck I fucking missed it".
