Guess The Iron Maiden Song!

Clue #1: The song we are looking for features a couple of firsts for Maiden. It's also among the first songs written by this particular songwriting constellation.

Clue #2: Looking at album releases chronologically, this song appears on a record where its writing constellation is unique, while the next time it appeared there's another song present by the same writing team.

Clue #3: The song we are looking for has multiple distinct versions officially released over the years.

Incorrect Guesses: Flight Of Icarus, The Prophecy, Only The Good Die Young, Public Enema Number One, Ghost Of The Navigator, New Frontier

Clue #3: The song we are looking for has multiple distinct versions officially released over the years.

Clue #4: As mentioned in clue #1, the same constellation of writers have written various songs including the one we are looking for. It was also mentioned that the song is one of the first songs written by that particular constellation. Despite that, there is a big chronological gap between the first song written by them and the song we are looking for.

Bonus Clue: Clue #2 is about a studio and a live album. Clue #3 is about something beyond those two releases.

Incorrect Guesses: Sanctuary, Run To The Hills, Flight Of Icarus, The Prophecy, Only The Good Die Young, Public Enema Number One, Chains Of Misery, Ghost Of The Navigator, New Frontier
 
To make what I mean a bit more clearer:

Bob, Joe and Alice wrote song X, the song we are looking for. This song X is on album Y. There are no other songs on album Y that were written by Bob, Joe and Alice. There might be songs written by Bob and Joe, or Joe and Alice, or even more people. But the combination of Bob, Joe and Alice is unique to song X on the specific album Y.

So, yeah, Journeyman would be incorrect :P

Clarification for Clue #2: Bob, Joe and Alice wrote song X, the song we are looking for. This song X is on album Y. There are no other songs on album Y that were written by Bob, Joe and Alice. There might be songs written by Bob and Joe, or Joe and Alice, or even more people. But the combination of Bob, Joe and Alice is unique to song X on the specific album Y.

Clue #5: The song was released as a single and played live.

Incorrect Guesses: Sanctuary, Run To The Hills, Flight Of Icarus, The Prophecy, Only The Good Die Young, Public Enema Number One, Chains Of Misery, Ghost Of The Navigator, New Frontier, Journeyman, Satellite 15... The Final Frontier, Juanita
 
The Wicker Man
Correct!

Clue #1: It's the first song released by the reunion album and the first song released in the new millenium. Written by Bruce, Adrian and Steve, if I'm not mistaken this is chronologically only the fourth song written by them, with Die With Your Boots On, Can I Play With Madness and The Evil That Men Do being the others.

Clue #2: No other songs on Brave New World were written by Adrian, Steve and Bruce together. Rock In Rio features both The Wicker Man and The Evil That Men Do that were written by the same trio.

Clue #3: The studio version and a couple of live version of course, but more importantly the US radio version with the additional vocals in the chorus. The bonus clue alludes to this special version.

Clue #4: Again, this is only the fourth song written by this trio. Despite that, due to Adrian leaving after SSOASS there's a 12 year gap between The Evil That Men Do and The Wicker Man.

Clue #5: Self-explanatory.

Congrats @TheMercenary! Your turn :)
