Guess The Iron Maiden Song!

Clue 1:
In the lyrics to this song, you'll find the name of a Black Sabbath song and a song by Sepultura.

Clue 2:
In the song lyrics, there is also the name of another Maiden song. In the lyrics of these two Maiden songs, there is also a description of a specific scenario that is common for the two songs.

Clue 3:
The song lyrics mainly focus on the here and now and the immediate future, but a couple of lines also address the relevance of the past.

Clue 4:
The songwriting is a collaborative effort. The song is the only one on the album with this exact configuration of songwriting credits.

Clue 5:
The lyrics name a specific and well-known point of interest. However, in the context of the song lyrics, this is not what it might seem at first glance.

Clue 6:
The song appears on only one official release.



Another guess on the pile: Gangland, Dream of Mirrors, The Clansman, Die With Your Boots On, Coming Home, Stranger in a Strange Land, The Man Who Would Be King, Deja-Vu, Moonchild, Weekend Warrior
 
Public Enema Number One
Killers ?
Both of those are on my list :D

But PENO has had a live version as a B-side on a single and Killers has been released on the Maiden England live album (as well as various B-sides over the years). I'm wondering if these releases count as official releases in the sense of clue 6 or if that only relates to album releases and A-sides for singles.

Clue 7:

I regard live albums as official releases (as long as they're not bootlegs).
