Guess The Iron Maiden Song!

[TheMercenary]

Well, #7 made me think of shooting down Smaug with the ballista and my first thought of slaying dragons in a Maiden setting was FOTB

Like the way you're thinking, @Vaenyr. But, it's not the right path of thinking this time.

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").

The song to guess contains songs of Stratovarius, Tarja Turunen and Killswitch Engage...

Clue #2 : Aragorn is a character incarnated by Viggo Mortensen who also played in the movie called The Prophecy.

The song could have been represented by "Aragorn", among others...

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...

Back to the future... in some way or another...

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.

Ancient Greece is full of them...

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.

Judas Priest was close to the right answer some years ago... but something went wrong for this band just after...

Clue #6 : Christopher Walken was the main character in the movie The Prophecy, along with Aragorn a.k.a. Viggo Mortensen.

Christopher Walken has something in common with "Aragorn"...

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.

Something happened in Lake-town...

Clue #8 : The black cat jumping out of the bag on which there was the picture of a black panther. This was the prophecy.

A picture clue was posted by me in the FUNNY/RANDOM/WEIRD Pictures section of this forum...

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).

The song is from an album that is trapped between an excellent but different album and another one which is great but misunderstood...

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 //
