A Tyranny of Souls Lyrics by Bruce Dickinson

Tyranny of Souls

2005

[Verse 1]
When shall we three meet again?
In thunder, lightning or in rain?
When the hurly-burly's done
When the battle's lost, not won
[Chorus]
A tyranny of souls that love has lost
A tyranny of souls, a Pentecost
Speaking tongues of fire
Enflaming our desires
Watching as we die
[Verse 2]
Who rips the child out from the womb?
Who raised the dagger?
Who plays the tune?
At the crack of doom on judgement day
No ocean could wash my sins away
[Chorus]
A tyranny of souls that love has lost
A tyranny of souls, a Pentecost
Speaking tongues of fire
Enflaming our desires
Watching as we die on our own cross
A tyranny of souls
[Bridge]
We are the black space
We are the black light
We shine where no others dare
Killing my head with the neon
Suffering the fate for no reason
No is a relative stranger to my life
Deeds of the faithful
Seeds of betrayal
Hammer the nail into my hand
Anger is ruler in my land
I am the killer of weakness in my head
We are the black light
We are the black space
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
A tyranny of souls that love has lost
A tyranny of souls, a Pentecost
Speaking tongues of fire
Enflaming our desires
Watching as we die on our own cross
[Chorus]
A tyranny of souls that love has lost
A tyranny of souls, a Pentecost
Speaking tongues of fire
Enflaming our desires
Watching as we die
