Guess The Iron Maiden Song!

In terms of setlists, if "Aces High" and "Revelations" are close to the answer, then I would say "2 Minutes To Midnight"... though I don't really know why. :D (EDIT: or maybe because, at their own levels, Maya the Bee and William Wallace are also freedom fighters involved in "civil wars"... then again, if we are to consider all Maiden songs related to war... :facepalm: ) Anyway, as they say, "Go to war again, blood is freedom's stain".

I also thought of flying because of Bruce being a pilot, Maya being able to fly on the virtue of being a bee, Link being able to ride Loftwings and fly in Skyward Sword. You said Revelations was close, so my thought is Flight Of Icarus.

No Flight Of Icarus, so not as close as Aces High is from the mystery song. ;)

You're closer to the answer than @Vaenyr this time, but still not as close as Aces High. ;)

Man, I really need to listen to more of the covers and B sides. I'm mostly familiar with Juanita, Reach Out, Kill me ce soir, some of the live tracks (NPFTD and TXF songs) and the TXF bonus tracks. Doesn't help that I'm not a big fan of a lot of the songs they chose to cover lol

Anyway: The Assassin :D
