Title: The Angel And The Gambler Band: Iron Maiden Album: Virtual XI Year: 1998 Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJzxCEzm_Ag&ab_channel=IronMaiden-Topic [Intro] C D      | x2 [Intro 2] C D      | x2 [Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] Do you feel lucky or do you feel scared? Take what luck brings and the Devil may care But you’re down on your luck And what will the next day bring? [Pre-Chorus] 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? [Verse 3] Best make decisions before it’s too late Take all your chances take hold of the reigns A roll of the dice Ahead of the game again [Verse 4] 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 [Pre-Chorus] 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? [Chorus] Don’t you think I’m a saviour? Don’t you think I could save you? Don’t you think I could save your life? Don’t you think I’m a saviour? Don’t you think I could save you? Don’t you think I could save your life? Don’t you think I’m a saviour? Don’t you think I could save you? Don’t you think I could save your life? Don’t you think I’m a saviour? Don’t you think I could save you? Don’t you think I could save your life? [Bridge] C D     | x2 [Clean Bridge] [Clean Chorus] Don’t you think I’m a saviour? Don’t you think I could save you? Don’t you think I could save your life? Don’t you think I’m a saviour? Don’t you think I could save you? Don’t you think I could save your life? Don’t you think I’m a saviour? Don’t you think I could save you? Don’t you think I could save your life? Don’t you think I’m a saviour? Don’t you think I could save you? Don’t you think I could save your life? [Chorus] Don’t you think I’m a saviour? Don’t you think I could save you? Don’t you think I could save your life? Don’t you think I’m a saviour? Don’t you think I could save you? Don’t you think I could save your life? Don’t you think I’m a saviour? Don’t you think I could save you? Don’t you think I could save your life? Don’t you think I’m a saviour? Don’t you think I could save you? Don’t you think I could save your life? [Solo] x2 [Solo 2] x2 [Verse 5] 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 [Verse 6] 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 [Pre-Chorus] 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 [Chorus] Don’t you think I’m a saviour? Don’t you think I could save you? Don’t you think I could save your life? Don’t you think I’m a saviour? Don’t you think I could save you? Don’t you think I could save your life? Don’t you think I’m a saviour? Don’t you think I could save you? Don’t you think I could save your life? Don’t you think I’m a saviour? Don’t you think I could save you? Don’t you think I could save your life? Don’t you think I’m a saviour? Don’t you think I could save you? Don’t you think I could save your life? Don’t you think I’m a saviour? Don’t you think I could save you? Don’t you think I could save your life? Don’t you think I’m a saviour? Don’t you think I could save you? Don’t you think I could save your life? Don’t you think I’m a saviour? Don’t you think I could save you? Don’t you think I could save your life? Don’t you think I’m a saviour? Don’t you think I could save you? Don’t you think I could save your life? Don’t you think I’m a saviour? Don’t you think I could save you? Don’t you think I could save your life? [Outro] C D     | x2

La chanson évoque le conflit entre la chance et le destin, où la vie est comparée à un jeu de dés. Elle soulève des questions sur les choix que l'on fait et les risques que l'on prend, tout en illustrant la lutte intérieure entre le bien et le mal. Le protagoniste se questionne sur sa capacité à se sauver, à la fois de ses décisions risquées et de ses hésitations face à l’inconnu. Dans un contexte plus large, cette œuvre peut être perçue comme une réflexion sur la fragilité de la vie humaine et les conséquences de nos choix. L'ange symbolise l'espoir et la rédemption, tandis que le joueur représente l'homme qui, malgré ses erreurs, continue à avancer, cherchant un sens à son existence. Ce parallèle entre les forces spirituelles et les défis terrestres nous invite à la contemplation sur notre propre cheminement.
