Iron Maiden
Piece of Mind (1983) - Lyrics

Take a look in the pool and what do you
see

In the dark depths there faces beckoning me

Can't you
see them it's plain for all to see

They were there oh I know you
don't believe me.



Oh.....I've never felt so
strange

But.....I'm not going insane.



I've no
doubt that you think I'm off my head

You don't say but
it's in your eyes instead

Hours I spend out just gazing into that
pool

Something draws me there I don't know what to do.



Oh.....they drain my strength away

Oh.....they're asking me to
stay.



Nightmares.....spirits calling me

Nightmares.....they won't leave me be.



All my life's
blood is slowly draining away

And I feel that I'm weaker every
day

Somehow I know I haven't long to go

Joining them at the
bottom of the pool.



Now.....I feel they are so near

I.....begin to see them clear



Nightmares.....coming all the
time

Nightmares.....Will give me peace of mind.



Now
it's clear and I know what I have to do

I must take you down
there to look at them too

Hand in hand then we'll jump right into
the pool

Can't you see not just me they want you too.



Oh.....we'll drown together

It.....will be forever.



Nightmares.....forever calling me

Nightmares.....Now we rest in
peace.
