Guess The Iron Maiden Song!

Speed Of Light
Ding, ding, ding! :)

Clue #1: I'm riding the wind < the first words of the Gamma Ray song "No return" // "one way ticket, no return"
Clue #2: In all of the directions it can whiz
< a line of the Monty Python's "the Galaxy Song", which is directly followed by
"As fast as it can go, at the speed of light, you know,
Twelve million miles a minute and that's the fastest speed there is."
Clue #3: hic et nunc?
< "I don't know where I don't know when"
Clue #4:

< a picture from the original cast of the series Lost in Space (1965)

Clue #5: "Gorilla Ass 1981" < the literal translation of the Japanese for "Donkey Kong", a video game released in 1981, and which is reprised in the video for "Speed of Light".
Clue #6: "Well, you killed your first man at thirteen..." < in the same video, there is a tribute to the video game Killer Instinct (a game that resembles Mortal Kombat), which are also the lyrics that follow this line in IM's "Sun and Steel".
Clue #7: This song was played on one tour only and occupies the same position in the setlist as on the corresponding album. <"Speed of Light" is the second song both on The Book of Souls and its namesake tour.

Congratulations @TheMercenary , your turn! :)
