Texty
Futureal (Harris, Bayley)
I'm running out of time, I'm running out of breath
And now it's getting so I can't sleep at night
In the day, feel like death
I'm getting in far too deep, I feel them closing in
I've got to say that I'm scared, I know they'll win
Even so, I'm prepared
Do you believe what you hear? Can you believe what you see?
Do you believe what you feel? Can you believe?
What is real? Futureal!
What is real?
Whenever anyone seems to treat me like a freak
It makes me see I'm the only one who feels
That I know what is real
Sometimes it feels like a game of deadly hide and seek
And when you're reading this, then I will be gone
Maybe then, you will see
Do you believe what you hear? Can you believe what you see?
Do you believe what you feel? Can you believe?
What is real? Futureal!
What is real? Futureal!
(1:29 – Solo: Dave Murray)
Do you believe what you hear? Can you believe what you see?
Do you believe what you feel? Can you believe?
What is real? Futureal!
What is real? Futureal!
What is real? Futureal!
What is real? Futureal!

The Evil That Men Do (Harris, Smith, Dickinson)
Love is a razor and I walked the line on that silver blade
Slept in the dust with his daughter, her eyes red with the slaughter of innocence
But I will pray for her, I will call her name out loud
I would bleed for her, if I could only see her now
Living on a razor's edge, balancing on a ledge
Living on a razor's edge, balancing on a ledge
Balancing on a ledge, living on a razor's edge
Balancing on a ledge, you know, you know
The evil that men do lives on and on...
The evil that men do lives on and on...
The evil that men do lives on and on...
The evil that men do lives on and on...
Circle of fire my baptism of joy at an end it seems
The seventh lamb slain, the book of life opens before me
And I will pray for you, someday I may return
Don't you cry for me, beyond is where I learn
Living on a razor's edge, balancing on a ledge
Living on a razor's edge, you know, you know
The evil that men do lives on and on...
The evil that men do lives on and on...
The evil that men do lives on and on...
The evil that men do lives on and on...
(3:15 – Solo: Adrian Smith)
Living on a razor's edge, balancing on a ledge
Living on a razor's edge, you know, you know
The evil that men do lives on and on...
The evil that men do lives on and on...
The evil that men do lives on and on...
The evil that men do lives on and on...
The evil, the evil, the evil that men do
The evil, the evil, the evil that men do

Man On The Edge (Bayley, Gers)
The freeway is jammed and it's backed up for miles
The car is an oven and baking is wild
Nothing is ever the way it should be
What we deserve we just don't get you see
A briefcase, a lunch and a man on the edge
Each step gets closer to losing his head
Is someone in heaven are they looking down
'Cause nothing is fair just you look around
Falling down, falling down, falling down
Falling down, falling down, falling down
He's sick of waiting of lying like this
There's a hole in the sky for the angels to kiss
Branded a leper because you don't fit
In the land of the free you just live by your wits
Once he built missiles a nation's defence
Now he can't even give birthday presents
Across the city he leaves in his wake
A glimpse of the future a cannibal state
Falling down, falling down, falling down
Falling down, falling down, falling down
The freeway is jammed and it's backed up for miles
The car is an oven and baking is wild
Nothing is ever the way it should be
What we deserve we just don't get you see
A briefcase, a lunch and a man on the edge
Each step gets closer to losing his head
Is someone in heaven are they looking down
'Cause nothing is fair just you look around
Falling down, falling down, falling down
Falling down, falling down, falling down
Falling down, falling down, falling down
Falling down, falling down, falling down

The Angel And The Gambler (Harris)
Roll of the dice, take a spin of the wheel
Out of your hands now, so how do you feel
But you're not gonna win, you'd better go back again
Do you feel lucky or do you feel scared
Take what luck brings and be devil may care
But you're down on your luck and what will the next day bring
Adrift on the ocean, afloat in a daydream
Or lost in a maze, or blind in the haze
So what does it matter, so why don't you answer
So why did you send an angel to mend
Best make decisions before it's too late
Take all your chances take hold of the reins
A roll of the dice, ahead of the game again
Nothing to lose but so much to gain
A little danger, it goes without saying
But what do you care, you're gonna go in the end
Gate open to heaven is ready and waiting
Or straight down to hell, can go there as well
I'll suffer my craving, my soul's not worth saving
So why don't you go, just leave well alone
Don't you think I'm the saviour
Don't you think I could save you
Don't you think I could save your life
There's like a hunger that knocks on your door
You've had a taste of it, still you want more
You've made your mistakes, won't play it the same again
You have been warned but still you plunge in
You play high stakes but there's nothing to win
You've only one life and so many things to learn
The Angel on one side, the Devil the other
Which path do you take? Decisions to make
Arrive at the crossroads, you know where you're going
And what if you wait, it may be too late
Don't you think I'm the saviour
Don't you think I could save you
Don't you think I could save your life
Don't you think I'm the saviour
Don't you think I could save you
Don't you think I could save your life
