Back In The Village lyrics
by Iron Maiden



Turn the spotlights
On the people
Switch the dial
And eat the worm
Take your chances
Kill 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

Back in the village
Again
In the village
I'm back in the village
Again

Throwing dice now
Rolling loaded,
I see sixes (666) all the way
In a black hole
And 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

Back in the village
Again
In the village
I'm back in the village
Again

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 number
I'm a name!

Back in the village
Again
In the village
I'm back in the village
Again
