Holy Smoke

Iron Maiden

[Intro] (x2) [Verse 1] Believe in me and send no money I died on the cross that ain’t funny But my so called friends they’re making me a joke They missed out what I said like I never spoke They choose what they wanna hear don’t tell a lie They just leave out the truth as they’re watching you die They’re saving the souls by taking your money Flies around shit bees around honey [Chorus] Holy Smoke Holy Smoke Plenty bad preachers for the devil to stoke Feed ’em in feet first this is no joke This is thirsty work making Holy Smoke yeah! Making Holy Smoke [Verse 2] Jimmy Reptile and all his friends Say they gonna be with you at the end Burning records burning books Holy soldiers Nazi looks Crocodile smiles just wait awhile Till the TV Queen gets her make up clean I’ve lived in filth I’ve lived in sin And I still smell cleaner than the shit you’re in [Chorus] Holy Smoke Holy Smoke Plenty bad preachers for the devil to stoke Feed ’em in feet first this is no joke This is thirsty work making Holy Smoke yeah! Making Holy Smoke [Re-Intro] Smells good! (x2) [Guitar Solos] (x2) (x3) [Verse 3] They ain’t religious but they ain’t no fools When Noah built his Cadillac it was cool Two by two they’re still going down And the satellite circus just left town I think they’re strange and when they’re dead They can have a Lincoln for their bed Friend of the president trick of the tail Now they ain’t got a prayer one hundred years in jail [Chorus] Holy Smoke Holy Smoke Plenty bad preachers for the devil to stoke Feed ’em in feet first this is no joke This is thirsty work making Holy Smoke yeah! Holy Smoke ...ahhhh

La chanson aborde la thématique de l’hypocrisie religieuse, où certains se présentent comme des sauveurs tout en profitant des faiblesses des autres. Elle dépeint des figures religieuses qui, au lieu d’incarner la vérité, se concentrent sur leur propre intérêt, exploitant la foi des gens pour en tirer profit. Il y a une critique cinglante envers ceux qui prétendent prêcher le bien, tout en cachant leurs véritables intentions. Le contexte laisse entendre que, dans le monde actuel, de nombreux individus utilisent la religion pour masquer leur avidité, perdant de vue le véritable message spirituel. En évoquant des personnages et des situations qui illustrent cette notion, la chanson invite à réfléchir sur la différence entre la vraie foi et les manipulations qui en découlent. C’est un appel à la vigilance face à ceux qui tentent de détourner la spiritualité à des fins égoïstes.
