Guess The Iron Maiden Song!

[Jmaster]

Run Silent Run Deep is a war song having its origins as a ballad during the SIT sessions if I recall correctly.

Correct, @Vaenyr! Your turn.

 

[Jmaster]

Clue 1:
This song’s origins pre-dates the album on which it was released with several years.

Bruce's words to "Run Silent Run Deep" were leftovers from the SiT sessions.

Clue 2:
The song lyrics use a variation of a metaphor the band had used before.

The image of "a cunning fox in the chicken's lair" also appeared in Back in the Village ("a fox among the chickens").

Clue 3:
In terms of both subject matter and inspiration, the song is definitely not an outlier in the Maiden catalogue.

War, inspired by film.


All eyes on @Vaenyr for new clues now.

 

[TheMercenary]

Bravo to you, @Vaenyr.

 

[Vaenyr]

I'll have to think of some clues. I'll try to make it worth your while folks

 

[Azas]

I'm pretty sure the song will be from Virtual XI album..

 

[MindRuler]

Or Juanita so who´s next?

 

[Vaenyr]

Alrighty, let's get this started my friends.

Clue #1: The guitarist in this song must've been a fan of Adam Neely, for he truly took the adage "Repetition legitimizes" to heart.

 

[Jer]

Rime Of The Ancient Mariner

 

[Siddharth]

Iron Maiden

 

[MindRuler]

The Angel And The Gambler

 

[Black Bart]

Transylvania

 

[Vaenyr]

Clue #2: The vocalist of this song on the other hand must've been an ardent follower of the Chaos God Khorne, for he, in a way, fully embraced the saying "Blood for the Blood God". It is arguable if the vocalist can be considered the lyricist of this song.
