Guess The Iron Maiden Song!

Clue 1:
In the lyrics to this song, you'll find references to familiar themes such as murder and rebirth.

Clue 2:
The lyrics make a rather uncertain statement about language.

Clue 3:
Another lyrics clue: The lyrics express uncertainty about both the origin and the future of the song's central character.

Clue 4:
A bonus lyrics clue: Cotton-Eye Joe and the Maiden song's central character have at least one thing in common.
But let's move on to the real clue 4: In more than one way, it's safe to say that the song predated the album on which it was first released.

Clue 5:
The writing of the song is a collaborative effort. One more song on the album has the exact same songwriting credit.



See the truth and see your lies: The Clairvoyant, Juanita, Still Life, Murders in the Rue Morgue, The Assassin, Judgment of Heaven, Back in the Village, The Reincarnation of Benjamin Breeg, Churchill's Speech

Probably doesn't fit with Clues 1 and 2, but 22 Acacia Avenue? Started out as an Urchin song if I remember correctly and changed a bit prior to TNOTB.
