STILL LIFE - Iron Maiden from Piece Of Mind (1983) album written by Dave Murray and Steve Harris [Intro] [Verse 1] 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 [Bridge] Oh I’ve never felt so strange But I’m not going insane [Verse 2] I’ve no doubt that you think I’m off 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 [Bridge] Oh they drain my strength away Oh they’re asking me to stay [Chorus] Nightmares - spirits calling me Nightmares - they won’t leave me be [Verse 3] 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 [Bridge] Now I feel they are so near I begin to see them clear [Chorus] Nightmares - coming all the time Nightmares - Will give me peace of mind [Riff] } } x2 [Harmony] [Solo 1] x4 [Solo 2] x4 [Verse 4] 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 that pool Can’t you see not just me they want you too [Bridge] Oh we’ll drown together It will be forever [Chorus] Nightmares - forever calling me Nightmares - Now we rest in peace. -TTP
