Iron Maiden - "The Angel and the Gambler" (animated video)

Roll of the dice, take a spin of the wheel
Out of your hands now, so how do you feel?
But you’re not gonna win, you’d better go back again

Do you feel lucky or do you feel scared
Take what luck brings and be Devil may care
But you’re down on your luck and what will the next day bring

Adrift on the ocean, afloat in a daydream
Or lost in a maze or blind in the haze
So what does it matter? So why don’t you answer?
So why did you send an angel to mend?

Best make decisions before it’s too late
Take all your chances, take hold of the reins
A roll of the dice, ahead of the game again

Nothing to lose, but so much to gain
A little danger - it goes without saying
But what do you care: you’re gonna go in the end

Gate open to Heaven, is ready and waiting
Or straight down to hell, can go there as well
I’ll suffer my craving, my soul’s not worth saving
So why don’t you go, just leave well alone?

Don’t you think I’m a saviour
Don’t you think I could save you
Don’t you think I could save your life...

There’s like a hunger that knocks on your door
You’ve had a taste of it, still you want more
You’ve made your mistakes, won’t play it the same again

You have been warned, but still you plunge in
You play high stakes, but there’s nothing to win
You’ve only one life and so many things to learn

The Angel on one side, the Devil the other
Which path do you take, decisions to make
Arrive at the crossroads, you know where you’re going
And what if you wait - it may be too late

Don’t you think I’m a saviour
Don’t you think I could save you
Don’t you think I could save your life...

Ο Val Andrade είναι fan της μουσικής των Iron Maiden και -ως animator- δημιουργεί εντυπωσιακά animated videos βασισμένα σε τραγούδια της Βρετανικής μπάντας. Η πιο πρόσφατη δημιουργία του αφορά την οπτικοποίηση του τραγουδιού "The Angel and the Gambler", το οποίο ακούσαμε στον δίσκο του Βρετανικού συγκροτήματος "Virtual XI" που κυκλοφόρησε την άνοιξη του 1998 κι αποτέλεσε το κύκνειο άσμα του Blaze Bayley με την μπάντα...
