Guess The Iron Maiden Song!

Kinda pert way to pick clues..I just looked some of these the other days and so.
I predict that each line is from different Iced Earth song, so every word is every word from some Maiden-song.
Might have to look closer later if have time for it.

Now first and foremost, every single line is from an Iced Earth song, which was intended to make finding the answer easier (I guess that didn’t work out). It wasn’t an extra hidden clue.

Secondly, Steve Harris said once in an interview that No More Lies was written about The Last Supper, so a lot of the clues point right to Jesus.

Anyway, here’s the explanation:

Clue #1: From Travel In Stygian. It’s a reference to being at the end of your life, like the narrator of No More Lies. Also, some people believe Jesus had to go to Hell before he could resurrect, so it’s a bit of a double reference.

Clue #2: From Crucify The King. The song is about Jesus’s Crucifixion through the Something Wicked narrative... and the Crucifixion followed the Last Supper shortly thereafter.

Clue #3: From Melancholy (Holy Martyr), the band’s iconic ballad... about Jesus.

Clue #4: From Burnt Offerings. Jesus was known as the Lamb of God, who had to be slaughtered to pay for mankind’s sins.

Clue #5: From A Question Of Heaven. The ending high note heavily mirrors that of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Gethsemane, about Jesus shortly after the Last Supper.

Clue #6: From Brainwashed, a song about filling up people with lies.

Clue #7: From The End? The title is quite apt for No More Lies, since the narrator is constantly wondering if this is the end for him. Given that it’s in a question form, that made it all the more perfect a clue.

Clue #8: From Prophecy. The line just before is “Jesus Christ to Kennedy...”

Clue #9: From Reaching The End. Another reference to nearing the end of one’s life, just like in No More Lies.

Clue #10: From Disciples Of The Lie.

Clue #11: From Brainwashed. The previous line is “Lies, foolish lies...”

Clue #12: From Curse The Sky. This was a double hint. Firstly, No More Lies mentions a “darkened sky before me.” Secondly, the previous line is “Eyes, lies...”

Clue #13: From Stand Alone. It’s a reference to the line “talking tall and drinking wine.”

Clue #14: From Diary. What is not the nature of this beast? The answer is in the previous line: “For her immortal heart I’d give my own, and die for mankind’s sins.”

Clue #15: From The Pierced Spirit. An obvious reference to the Crucifixion (and Jesus was pierced with a spear to make sure he was dead).

Clue #16: From Angels Holocaust. It was a bit of a fill-in-the-blank since the final line in that stanza is “of a thousand lies.”

Clue #17: From Burnt Offerings. The full line is “Crimson eyes staring through your lies.”

Whew, I didn’t expect this one to be as hard as it evidently was. Your turn!

All good shots, but no...

Clue 1: This song makes a reference to a journey (of unknown proportions).
Clue 2: The lyrics names a specific means of transportation. Furthermore, the opening line of the song could make you think of a town often
associated with a specific journey - by another mode of transport than the journey in clue 1.



Incorrect guesses: Ghost of the Navigator, The Man Who Would Be King, Rime of the Ancient Mariner, Caught Somewhere in Time

Clue 3: The name of the song contains a phrase that might make you think about a technological device, but a certain piece of Maiden merchandise suggests that the phrase does not refer to such a device.
