Still life – Iron Maiden

Still life

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 of 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.
