Meanwhile, I'm sure people here need you to divulge the thinking behind some of those clues.

Most are rather self explanatory in hindsight, but I'm curious about the Christopher Walken one lol

THE EXPLANATION OF CLUES :
Clue #1 : The Prophecy's lyrics contain songs by Stratovarius ("Visions"), Tarja Turunen ("I Walk Alone") and Killswitch Engage ("The Call").
Clue #2 : Aragorn is a character incarnated by Viggo Mortensen who also played in the movie called The Prophecy.
Clue #3 : A prophecy is always made by someone who can see in the future and comes back down in the present to spread the news...
Clue #4 : Ancient Greece was full of oracles, especially in Delphi. Oracles had the power to be clairvoyant, as the character in Maiden's album and were able to make prophecies about the future events.
Clue #5 : Judas Priest released an album called Nostradamus, after which KK Downing has been fired or left the band (it's still unclear who was wrong or right in this story). Nostradamus was a clairvoyant who wrote renowned prophecies called Doomsday Quatrains.
Clue #6 : Christopher Walken was the main character in the movie The Prophecy, along with Aragorn a.k.a. Viggo Mortensen.
Clue #7 : Lake-town is the english name for Esgaroth, a town on a lake in The Hobbit. When Thorin Oakenshield came to reclaim his throne as The King Under The Mountain, Bard The Bowman discovered that Thorin's arrival was the beginning of the prophecy.
Clue #8 : The black cat jumping out of the bag on which there was the picture of a black panther. This was the prophecy.
Clue #9 : The Prophecy is a song on Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son, which is an album sandwiched between an excellent album (Somewhere In Time) and a misunderstood one (No Prayer For The Dying).
Incorrect guesses : Lord Of Light // The Trooper // Ghost of the Navigator // The Man Who Would Be King // Prowler // The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner // Deja Vu // Juanita // Charlotte The Harlot // Revelations // Wrathchild // Tailgunner // Flash Of The Blade // The Pilgrim //

Clue 3:
In the lyrics you will find the name of a band who has both opened for and covered Maiden, the name of a documentary set in the U.S made by one of Europe's most influential filmmakers, and the name of a huge multinational company with one of the most recognizable logos in the world. The previous name of this company points to a country where Maiden recorded for the studio album that followed the album the song in question is taken from.
