The Book Of Souls
Iron Maiden

Sacrifices buried with kings

Accompany them on a journey with no end

To an afterlife that's rich with fruit of all the Gods

And to face the demons

Of their underworld haunts


The sentient is sent to seek out all the truth

A flight to Earth that is a given from his birth

To rise from ashes of the dead

Out of the fire is sent to fulfill man's desire


By power day and night and death he ruled them

The sky and earth and the fires too

Two headed reptile symbol of his reign

Universes of the underworld


A life that's full of all the wealth and riches

Can never last an eternity

After living in a golden paradise

The ultimate sacrifice


Prophecy of sky Gods

The sun and the moon

Passing of old ways will come true soon


Falling of ages

Forest of kings

The search for truth, the book of souls


The rulers of planets and stars

The power of the kings, of traders and the wars

Planetary cycles and the phases of the moon

Is in the document a kingdom they will learn



They were praying to the Gods of nature

And were living in the cities of stone

Towers reaching upward to the heavens

Sacred wonders for the world unknown


Make their lives be a mystery no more

Records kept and the passing of laws

Sacred Gods to the book of lies

When a civilization dies


Prophecy of Sky gods

The sun and moon

Passing of old ways will come true soon


Falling of ages

Forest of kings

The lost book of souls, destruction begins


Ascending the throne wearing feathers and shells

He brought back their lives from the void

Alien invasion brings nothing but death

Mass exodus and plant life destroyed


Domain of the earth to the journey of truth

The underworld caves Mayan slaves


Defeat of the dark lords

The ultimate proof

In the place where the ancestors rule


The book of souls
