Seventh Son of a Seventh Son: Full Concept Album?

I've always seen it as moonchild being the seventh son of a seventh sons birth, infinite dreams is when he first touches on his powers. Can i Play with Madness is where he thinks he's going mad and goes to a prophet guy who understands his powers but wont tell him about them because he might use them for evil and destroy the world etc. The evil that men do is when he is tempted by Satan with the virgin. Seventh son is when he takes control of his powers and chooses his path. He picks good and is tempted by Satan who destroys his village and he forsees this and is not believed etc. The Clairvoyant is where he thinks his powers are dangerous, he becomes scared and loses control and his powers somehow kill him. Only the Good die Young shows that choosing the path of good has fulfilled Heaven, Angels, God's, Good sides etc. wishes and prevented Satan from taking over the Seventh Son and destroying the world. But then he dies.

I still love the idea that the first part of the album is about the original seventh son and the second part is about the his seventh son.

Well, it's all about the same person. Moonchild is the only song which takes place before the SSoaSS's birth. Bruce explains it in an interview posted on YouTube. You should be able to find it in the ''interview-something-something'' thread on this forum. Seventh Son of a Seventh Son (the song) sort of summarize the first ones I think.

Someone has to read the book and tell us...

But it says in SSoaSS that the SSoaSS is born and grows up.
It's a bit hard for a guy to live through 4 songs without actually being born.

SSoaSS goes from his birth, through discovering his powers and being tempted by evil.

Moonchild - before birth
Infinite Dreams - discovering his powers
Can I Play With Madness? - seeing a prophet
The Evil that Men Do - being tempted by Satan

No, the song SSoaSS.
I'm aware that the album is about himXD

Wow, I did not expect this forum to have me open a bible. I think that a lamb with seven horns, and seven eyes, HAS to be sybolic of something we just dont really get to know.

Funny, all the **** retentive people in my life think Maiden is evil, but the band has had me open a bible more than they ever did. lol

That's the best thing about bands that base their music on literature, movies and history etc: you can check them out later. I actually read Phantom of the Opera, The Name of the Rose and Moonchild (weird book) because of Maiden 

Funny... 

So having just finished the book Seventh Son, I agree with the songs-out-of-order theory on the basis of Infinite Dreams. One of the chapters, "Visions," just screams Infinite Dreams, and it's when the seventh son of a seventh son, as a ten-year-old, has nightmares about the Unmaker (long story). So yeah, Infinite Dreams isn't about the father, so it must be the other option.
