Guess The Iron Maiden Song!

No to all.

Clue #1: Not a Bruce solo song, though it might remind you of one.
Clue #2: Finite Dreams
Clue #3: Don’t ask who’s to blame, I don’t know
Clue #4: First-born of the empire in 1990, but the official coming out wasn’t until the following year

Incorrect guesses: If Eternity Should Fail, Weekend Warrior, The Alchemist, The Man Of Sorrows, The Wicker Man, Mother Of Mercy, Man On The Edge, Die With Your Boots On, The Great Unknown, The Age Of Innocence
 
Damn it I think it's Bring Your Daughter to the Slaughter but I'm too late.

On the off chance Empire 1990 = Queensryche album and first born = first track = Best I can. B-Side of Best I Can which was released in 1991 = Prophecy.

Let's go with The Prophecy.

Wasting Love

Winner!

Clue #1: Not a Bruce solo song, though it might remind you of one. — The arpeggiated clean guitar bit leading into the verse of “Wasting Love” is lifted from the beginning of Bruce Dickinson’s “Son Of A Gun”, another composition of Janick’s.

Clue #2: Finite Dreams — A reference to the lyric “dream on brothers, while you can”.

Clue #3: Don’t ask who’s to blame, I don’t know — A lyric from Megadeth’s “Almost Honest”, which is an indirect reference to the lyric “maybe one day I’ll be an honest man”.

Clue #4: First-born of the empire in 1990, but the official coming out wasn’t until the following year — As @jeffgt14 already explained, “Best I Can” was the first track off of Queensrÿche’s Empire album which was released in 1990, but “Best I Can” wasn’t released as a single until 1991. The song title references the lyric “up till now I’m doing the best I can”.

Clue #5: The sun shines in the bedroom when we play — A lyric from Nirvana’s “Son Of A Gun”, referencing the song alluded to by clue #1.

Clue #6: Swiftly flow the days — A lyric from “Sunrise, Sunset” from Fiddler On The Roof, referencing the lyric “long roads, long days from sunrise to sunset, sunrise to sunset”
