Ancient Mariner
If eternity should fail is a great song on the Book of souls album. It is also a different kind of opening song, that was originally meant to be on a Bruce Dickinson solo album that were not released.
And it's easy to hear that this song could have been on any BD album featuring Roy Z. The opening guitar melody after the intro, the guitar fills and the chorus are all very Roy Z-ish in my ears.
Did Roy Z and Bruce write this song together, and Bruce bought out Roy Z's involvement (as Maiden have a policy to not include outside writers), or is this just all nonsense, and Bruce wrote it himself?
I know Bruce is fully capable of writing superb songs by himself, but I think it sounds very Bruce/Roy Z
