Guess The Iron Maiden Song!

Correct!

Clue #1: Out Of The Shadows - A reference to the lyric “Shadows may hide you but also may be your grave”.

Clue #2: The Loneliness Of The Long Distance Runner - A reference to the lyric “You're running today maybe tomorrow you'll be saved”.

Clue #3: No Prayer For The Dying - A reference to the lyric “You pray for daylight to save you for a while”.

Clue #4: Children Of The Damned - A reference to the lyric “You wonder if your children will face the killer's smile”.

Clue #5: The previous clues were all hints at the lyrics in the order those lyrics appear in the mystery song - Self-explanatory.

Clue #6: This is the only song in the Maiden catalogue with this credited songwriting team - “Gangland” is credited to Adrian Smith and Clive Burr, who published no other songs together. (Bruce Dickinson was also a co-writer of this song who was unable to receive official credit due to legal entanglements with his former band Samson).
