Iron Maiden
Piece of Mind (1983) - Lyrics

You killed your first man at 13,

Killer instinct, Animal supreme,

By 16 you had learned to fight

The way of the warrior, you took it as your right.



Sunlight,
falling on your steel,

Death in life is your ideal,

Life is
like a wheel, rolling on and on.



Through earth and water, fire
and wind,

You came at last - nothing was the end,

Make a cut by
fire and stones,

Take you and your blade and break you both

in
two - break you both in two.



Sunlight, falling on your
steel,

Death in life is your ideal,

Life is like a wheel - and
it's rolling still.
