Iron Maiden - 'If Eternity Should Fail' (animated video)

Here is the soul of a man
Here in this place for the taking
Clothed in white, stand in the light
Here is the soul of a man

Time to speak with the shaman again
Conjure the jester again
Black dog in the ruins is howling my name
So here is the soul of a man

When the world was virgin
Before the coming of man
Just a solar witness
The beginning of the end

From a world of magma
To a cold rock face
The ascent of madness
And a human race

We are strange believers, all of us
There are stranger truths, immortal lust
We rise from slumber, he calls our name
Recalls our number, abide with pain

Reef in a sail at the edge of the world
If eternity should fail
Waiting in line for the ending of time
If eternity should fail

Reef in a sail at the edge of the world
If eternity should fail
Waiting in line for the ending of time
If eternity should fail

To god's illusion which I recall
Was our delusion before the fall
The angels come and the angels go
But the lord of light shining below

Eternal blackness beyond the stars
We think our wisdom will get that far
At the master's table, the table's bare
No land of plenty, devastation, despair

Reef in a sail at the edge of the world
If eternity should fail
Waiting in line for the ending of time
If eternity should fail

Reef in a sail at the edge of the world
If eternity should fail
Waiting in line at the ending of time
If eternity should fail

Reef in a sail at the edge of the world
If eternity should fail
Waiting in line for the ending of time
If eternity should fail

Reef in a sail at the edge of the world
If eternity should fail
Waiting in line at the ending of time
If eternity should fail

Reef in a sail at the edge of the world
If eternity should fail
Waiting in line at the ending of time
If eternity should fail

Reef in a sail at the edge of the world
If eternity should fail
Waiting in line at the ending of time
If eternity should fail

Good day, my name is Necropolis
I am formed of the dead
I am the harvester of the soul meat
And I suck the lives from around my bed
My own two sons I gave them breath
And I filled their living corpses with my bile
What humanity I knew
I've long forgotten
For me, eternity is nothing
But a short while

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 "If Eternity Should Fail".

Το τραγούδι το γνωρίσαμε από τον δίσκο των Maiden "The Book of Souls" (το εναρκτήριο μουσικό κομμάτι) που κυκλοφόρησε το φθινόπωρο του 2015. Ο τίτλος του τραγουδιού επρόκειτο να είναι ο τίτλος του προσωπικού δίσκου του Bruce Dickinson, όπως είχε εκμυστηρευθεί ο τραγουδιστής της Βρετανικής μπάντας...
