Testo The Parchment - Iron Maiden
Testo della canzone The Parchment (Iron Maiden), tratta dall'album Senjutsu
When the moon will rise again, until we read the Parthian skin
Broken fears, warning days are here again
'Fore we all to dust descend, heaven knows when life will end
God to know in the mire, put out the fire
Know there is a cross to bear in your primal quest of fear
No quarter now is given no less
Aslumber was my main ideal, asunder did my spirit steal
Sceptred race uttered words in disgrace
Sweet revenge will be ours, vengeance of a shaken world
Just remember that patience is no sin
And to find another way, live to breathe another day
Lord of light in the darkness, our guide
In a tempest never shaken, edge of doom is not mistaken
Countenance is not a sin, gallant king, we bow to him
Fierce as wolf with a leopard skin, dark and bitter deep within
Invader punished with his life, vanquished in the morning
Sea of blood in light divine, unholy reverence enjoyed
Intoxicated with their hell, man immortal, sickness dwell
Savage beasts, troops engage, assembled here to butcher blades
Smoke has darkened in the air, smell of death and deep despair
Wilderness, a tyrant dream, sell your soul, not give them power
Slay upon imperial crown, witness now the witching hour
Bound himself to oath and king, such loyalty, a shameless thing
Youth of agony still burn, shedding parents' blood
Never say a prayer to me, for this crime and treachery
Drinking from your cup of wisdom true, many men will follow you
Now an army is raised, and our gods, they be praised
Death is but a gilded edge, shall no more than we will pledge
Cry, "We are ready to believe"
The prodigal has returned, give us our own revenge
With the power he learned, we will burn the same again
A betrayal of angels in a foreign land
A revenge for the merciful, destiny at hand
For all those who have written in the sand will be told
That the same will happen, searching for gold
Like a fire in the sky, I can feel strength return
Heading for afterlife, meet me there
