Clue 1:
The song presents a key character in a difficult situation.
Clue 2:
In a certain aspect, the song belongs to a rather exclusive group of Maiden songs that also include the songs Killers, Brave New World and Dance of Death. Still, even within this exclusive group it could be argued, at least until recently, that the song you're looking for is unique.
Clue 3:
At first glance, the song's theme is (at least in my opinion) not that evident. The first verse hints to a theme that is common for the album on which the track appears. Another part of the song lyrics points to a theme that Maiden have explored on another album.
Clue 4:
The inspiration behind the song lyrics has it origin in a fictional character who was partly based on a real-life famous musician. A film adaptation of this character's ventures released 16 years before the Maiden song, has influenced Maiden's lyrics. In this film, the lead role is played by an actor who has also dabbled in the music industry, playing the same instrument in a band as the famous musician mentioned above.
Clue 5:
The song's writing credits are identical with two other songs on the studio album on which it was released.
Clue 6:
The song has been played live. Its place in the running order of the setlist was normally one number lower than its place in the running order of the album.
Clue 7:
The song lyrics touch upon familiar Maiden themes such as war, pain, imprisonment, and... crucifixion.
My son, ask for thyself another guess: Alexander the Great, Rime of the Ancient Mariner, Murders in the Rue Morgue, Hooks in You, Seventh Son of a Seventh Son, Powerslave, Still Life, Stranger in a Strange Land, Satellite 15... The Final Frontier, The Man Who Would Be King, The Prisoner, Phantom of the Opera, The Clairvoyant, Sea of Madness, No Prayer for the Dying, Wasting Love, The Great Unknown
