< the verse
"Just by looking through your eyes
He could see the future penetrating right in through your mind
See the truth and see your lies
But for all his power couldn't foresee his own demise"
is reminiscent of the story of Darth Plagueis as told by Palpatine. (Star Wars, ep III)

Clue #6:

< Springfield's (or Shelbyville's?) lemon tree (The Simpsons, "Lemon of Troy", season 6, episode 24) // Fool's Garden "Lemon Tree" includes the lyrics "I wonder how, I wonder why" while the Maiden song goes "I wonder why, I wonder how".

Clue #7: in the lyrics, the character more or less hints at the allegory of the cave (Plato).
< "Is it me or is it shadows that are dancing on the walls?"

Clue #8: the song we are looking for has got only one songwriter. < a song by Steve Harris.

Clue #9: "And the Seer of Visions can now rest in peace"
< as well as this character from Helloween's "Keeper of the Seven Keys", the Clairvoyant has got the power of extralucid vision.

Your turn! :)

I've known The Clairvoyant for my entire life, but only heard Lemon Tree by Fool's Garden in my early twenties (and it became one of the regular tunes we'd sing at parties after choir practice) so whenever the chorus of that song comes it messes me up. I always want to sing it in the Maiden order lol
