Afraid to shoot strangers

AFRAID TO SHOOT STRANGERS
(Harris)

Lying awake at night I wipe the sweat from my brow,
But it's not the fear, 'cos I'd rather go now.

Trying to visualize the horrors that will lay ahead,
The desert sand mound, a burial ground.

When it comes to the time,
Are we partners in crime?
When it comes to the time,
We'll be ready to die.

God let us go now and finish what's to be done,
Thy kingdom come, thy shall be done... on Earth.

Trying to justify to ourselves the reasons to go,
Should we live and let live, forget or forgive?

But how can we let them go on this way?
The reign of terror corruption must end.
And we know deep down there's no other way,
No trust, no reasoning, no more to say.

Afraid to shoot strangers.
Afraid to shoot strangers.

Bring your daughter... to the slaughter

Bring your daughter... to the slaughter
[Dickinson]


Honey, it's getting close to midnight,
And all the myths are still in town;
True love and lipstick on your linen,
Bite the pillow make no sound.
If there's some living to be done (ha!)
Before your life becomes your tomb,
You'd better know that I'm the one...
So unchain your back door invite me around.

[Chorus]
Bring your daughter, bring your daughter to the slaughter.
Let her go, let her go, let her go.

Honey it's getting close to daybreak,
The sun is creeping in the sky,
No patent remedies for heartache,
Just empty words and humble pie;
So get down on your knees honey,
Assume an attitude,
You just pray that I'll be waiting,
'Coz you know I'm coming soon.

[Chorus]

So pick up your foolish pride, no going back,
No where, no way, no place to hide.

[Chorus]

Two minutes to midnight - El reloj del fin del mundo

El reloj del fin del mundo es un reloj simbólico que el consejo de directivos de la Revista de la Asociación de Científicos Nucleares Norteamericanos de la universidad de Chicago creó para indicar el riesgo que tiene la humanidad de verse enfrascada en una guerra nuclear. Este reloj es una analogía en la cual la humanidad se encuentra a unos pocos minutos de la media noche, donde la media noche representa el holocausto nuclear al que nos veremos envueltos de haber una guerra con armas nucleares. El reloj inició estando a 7 minutos de la medianoche en 1947, debido a la guerra fría. La vez que estuvo más cerca de la medianoche fue 2 minutos en 1953 durante la crisis de los misiles, y la vez que estuvo más lejos fue 17 minutos en 1991 cuando USA y Rusia firmaron un tratado de desmantelamiento de armas nucleares.

TWO MINUTES TO MIDNIGHT
(Adrian Smith/Bruce Dickinson)

Kill for gain or shoot to maim,
But we don't need a reason;
The golden goose is on the loose
And never out of season.

Some blackened pride still burns inside
This shell of bloody treason;
Here's my gun for a barrel of fun
For the love of living death.

Chorus
The killers breed or the demon's seed,
The glamour, the fortune, the pain;
Go to war again, blood is freedom's stain,
Don't you pray for my soul anymore.

2 minutes to midnight
The hands that threaten doom.
2 minutes to midnight
To kill the unborn in the womb.

The blind men shout let the creatures out,
We'll show the unbelievers,
Napalm screams of human flames,
Of a prime time belsen feast...yeah!

As the reasons for the carnage cut
their meat and lick the gravy,
We oil the jaws of the war machine
and feed it with our babies.

Chorus

The body bags and little rags
of children torn in two,
And the jellied brains of those who remain
to put the finger right on you.
As the madmen play on words and make us all dance to their song,
To the tune of starving millions to make a better kind of gun.

Chorus

Midnight...all night...

Run to the hills

Aunque la masacre de los pueblos indígenas en las planicies norteamericanas y la aniquilación de bisontes en sus vastas llanuras no fueron cosa de juego, este es el vídeo más divertido de los británicos Iron Maiden.

RUN TO THE HILLS

(Harris)

White man came, across the sea,
He brought us pain and misery;
He killed our tribes, he killed our creed,
He took our game for his own need.

We fought him hard, we fought him well,
Out on the plains we gave him hell;
But many came, too much for cree
Oh will we ever be set free?

Riding through dustclouds and barren wastes,
Galloping hard on the plains,
Chasing the redskins back to their holes,
Fighting them at their own game;
Murder for freedom a stab in the back,
Women and children and cowards attack...

Run to the hills, run for your lives,
Run to the hills, run for your lives.

Soldier blue on the barren wastes,
Hunting and killing their game;
Raping the women and wasting the men,
The only good indians are tame.
Selling them whisky and taking their gold,
Enslaving the young and destroying the old.

Run to the hills, run for your lives,
Run to the hills, run for your lives.
