Guess The Iron Maiden Song!

The Mercenary

Explanations:

Clue #1:
This song includes a returned favor.
—> Janick wrote the song but Adrian took the solo with Dave. The opposite happened in "Hooks in You".

Clue #2:
It took the song you are looking for quite some time to fully develop.
—> "The Mercenary" is one of the three songs discarded from Virtual XI and resumed and perfected during the Brave New World sessions.

Clue #3:
The song you're looking for was never a single and was played only in one tour. And not even in all shows. Managed to leave the mark tho.
—> Not a single, never made its way into a setlist after the BNW Tour; it wasn't played in 4 or 5 shows, but it left the mark since it's included in Rock in Rio.

Clue #4:
In the lyrics of our song, you find:
- a polyptoton
- the title of a very popular series of dark fantasy RPG videogames
- a Marvel superhero's name
Furthermore, I can say none of you mentioned the correct album yet. But again, one of you came really close.
—> In order: "Hunted, hunter, which are you?" is a polyptoton; "Diablo comes again": Diablo is a popular series of dark fantasy RPG developed by Blizzard North (later continued by Blizzard Entertainment); "Iron will, iron fist, how could it have come to this?": Iron Fist is a Marvel superhero.
