Of course! :)

Clue #1:
View attachment 38829 < in this "Treehouse of horror" episode (n°2, season 3), Homer was dreaming in a Frankenstein-pastiche, with Burns as the doctor and a robot (which crushed his body) as the creature. Then Homer wakes up screaming and this dialogue ensues:

BURNS : Perhaps you're wondering why you have two heads. My body was crushed, so I had head grafted onto your... shall we say, ample frame.

HOMER: I can wake up. It's all a dream. It's just a dream.

BURNS : Oh, that's right. It's all a dream... or is it? [manic laughter and cut to black]

// "Can this still be real, or just some crazy dream?"

Clue #2:

< this sculpture, called "Broken Chair", is visible in Geneva // in his own words, Martin Birch knew Bruce's performance was going to be great as he recorded the first verse when the singer, out of frustation at Martin still not satisfied, threw and broke chairs in the studio.

Clue #3:

< the South Park character is Damien, the son of Satan // the Maiden song is said to derive its inspiration from the film Damien: Omen II (1978).

Clue #4:
View attachment 38948-ED
< "My mind was blank" ("-ED" stands for "past tense", to get you on the right track... well)

Clue #5: On Europe's Last Look At Eden, there is a song whose title AND number of appearance on the album should lead you to the Maiden song we're looking for.
< indeed, the sixth song from this album is "The Beast". Enjoy! :)

Your turn, @Vaenyr
 
Clue #1: Despite the beginning of the song, we are not on Somewhere In Time.

Clue #2: The song we are looking for received artwork entirely devoted to itself.

Incorrect Guesses: Moonchild, Senjutsu, The Time Machine
 
With the clue #1 I would have said "Shadows Of The Valley", but with the clue #2, I've just abandoned this answer.

So, I don't really know what the song could be.

Maybe "Speed Of Light" ?
 
Clue #1: Despite the beginning of the song, we are not on Somewhere In Time.

Clue #2: The song we are looking for received artwork entirely devoted to itself.

Clue #3: Not a B-Side. Not a single. Hasn't been played live.

Incorrect Guesses: Moonchild, The Clairvoyant, Speed Of Light, Empire Of The Clouds, Senjutsu, The Time Machine
