Steve Harris - Shadows Of The Valley lyrics

[Guitar Intro] Wandering aimlessly in a cold dark mist I follow Walking in a dark world that's been Kissed with sadness Without sunlight things are born To the dead of nightmares Soulless demons laughing in a sea of madness Listen closely to the raven's call Praying hard for our world not to end Try as might to make sense of it all Will it be for the penance of men Follow north for the call of the wild Look all out for a small wayward child Lay in fear as the dark raven crows Look for guidance from the one who knows He lived on this earth for a time and a half Playing a tune to the old man's laugh The fear that's inside the men of the oath In the script of the book that he wrote [Chorus] Ask them the questions Tell them no lies A cry for freedom Praying that they wouldn't die Mind over matter Cry over sins Their lives are over now Ended before they begin As the raven again pa**es by I can hear all the wake fathers cry That the first born of all men will die That their lives will be taken from them Face the danger a battle of wills Strength and courage a cure for all ills We believe in that thou shall not k** But others are ready to spill [BRIDGE] The hearts of all men since beginning of time Living with temptation Wanting and crime A walk in the shadow of the valley of d**h Knowing I'll take my last breath [Chorus] [BRIDGE] [Chorus] Into the valley of d**h fear no evil We will go forward no matter the cost Into the valley of d**h follow me now Bring me your souls and I'll make it our last [Chorus]
