Iron Maiden – 2 Minutes To Midnight Lyrics 1984

Iron Maiden 2 MINUTES TO MIDNIGHT 7"

2 Minutes To Midnight Lyrics

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
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

[Pre-Chorus]
The killer’s 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?

[Chorus]
Two minutes to midnight
The hands that threaten doom
Two minutes to midnight
To kill the unborn in the womb

[Verse 2]
The blind men shout “Let the creatures out
We’ll show the unbelievers”
Napalm screams of human flames
For 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

[Pre-Chorus]
The killer’s 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?

[Chorus]
Two minutes to midnight
The hands that threaten doom
Two minutes to midnight
To kill the unborn in the womb

[Guitar Solo: Dave Murray]
[Guitar Solo: Adrian Smith]

[Verse 3]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
The killer’s 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?

[Chorus]
Two minutes to midnight
The hands that threaten doom
Two minutes to midnight
To kill the unborn in the womb

[Post -Chorus]
Midnight
Midnight
Midnight
It’s all night
Midnight
Midnight
Midnight
It’s all night

[Outro]
Midnight
All night!

Black Sabbath’s – Technical Ecstasy was the last studio album with Ozzy Osborne. It is not a fan favorite but does contain the track “Dirty Women” which was included in Black Sabbath live sets all the way till the end of their career.

The album received mixed reviews from critics but was a commercial success, peaking at number 13 on the UK Albums Chart and number 51 on the US Billboard 200 Album chart, later being certified Gold by the RIAA in 1997.

In 1992, Iommi admitted to Guitar World: “Black Sabbath fans generally don’t like much of Technical Ecstasy. It was really a no-win situation for us. If we had stayed the same, people would have said we were still doing the same old stuff. So we tried to get a little more technical, and it just didn’t work out very well.”
