IRON MAIDEN - Back in The Village lyrics

rate me

Turn the spotlights on the people

Switch the dial and eat the worm.

Take your chanceskill the engine

Drop your bombs and let it burn.

White flags shot to ribbons

The truce is black and burned

Shellshock in the kitchen

Tables overturned.

Chorus

Back in the village again

In the village.

I'm back in the village again.

Throwing dice nowrolling loaded

I see sixes all the way.

In a black holeand I'm spinning

As my wings get shot away.

No breaks on the inside

Paper cats and burning barns

There's a fox among the chickens

And a killer in the hounds.

Questions are a burden

And answers are a prison for oneself

Shellshock in the kitchen

Tables start to burn.

Chorus

But still we walk into the valley

And others try to kill the inner flame

We're burning brighter than before

I don't have a numberI'm a name!

Chorus
