Clue 1:
The song presents a key character in a difficult situation.
Clue 2:
In a certain aspect, the song belongs to a rather exclusive group of Maiden songs that also include the songs Killers, Brave New World and Dance of Death. Still, even within this exclusive group it could be argued, at least until recently, that the song you're looking for is unique.
Clue 3:
At first glance, the song's theme is (at least in my opinion) not that evident. The first verse hints to a theme that is common for the album on which the track appears. Another part of the song lyrics points to a theme that Maiden have explored on another album.
Clue 4:
The inspiration behind the song lyrics has it origin in a fictional character who was partly based on a real-life famous musician. A film adaptation of this character's ventures released 16 years before the Maiden song, has influenced Maiden's lyrics. In this film, the lead role is played by an actor who has also dabbled in the music industry, playing the same instrument in a band as the famous musician mentioned above.
Clue 5:
The song's writing credits are identical with two other songs on the studio album on which it was released.
Clue 6:
The song has been played live. Its place in the running order of the setlist was normally one number lower than its place in the running order of the album.
Clue 7:
The song lyrics touch upon familiar Maiden themes such as war, pain, imprisonment, and... crucifixion.

"Days of Future Past" - clues explained:
Clue 1:
The song presents a key character in a difficult situation.
He put me in this burning cage
Clue 2:
In a certain aspect, the song belongs to a rather exclusive group of Maiden songs that also include the songs Killers, Brave New World and Dance of Death. Still, even within this exclusive group it could be argued, at least until recently, that the song you're looking for is unique.
The key here is Maiden tours and their names. The song lent its name to the "Future Past tour", just as the names of the songs in the clue are found in the name of Maiden tours.
The unique feature is that unlike these other songs, "Days of Future Past" wasn't also the name of a Maiden album.
The "Run for your Lives" tour is also named after a song that's not also an album name, hence it's not so unique as it used to be.
Clue 3:
At first glance, the song's theme is (at least in my opinion) not that evident. The first verse hints to a theme that is common for the album on which the track appears. Another part of the song lyrics points to a theme that Maiden have explored on another album.
War (in heaven in God's rage): An over-arching theme on "Senjutsu".
The "future/past" theme was explored on "Somewhere in Time".
Clue 4:
The inspiration behind the song lyrics has it origin in a fictional character who was partly based on a real-life famous musician. A film adaptation of this character's ventures released 16 years before the Maiden song, has influenced Maiden's lyrics. In this film, the lead role is played by an actor who has also dabbled in the music industry, playing the same instrument in a band as the famous musician mentioned above.
DC Comic's character John Constantine, AKA Hellblazer. His physical appearance was based on Sting. Keanu Reeves, Dogstar's bass player, played Constantine in a 2005 movie adaptation with a story line that might have inspired Bruce's lyrics.
Clue 5:
The song's writing credits are identical with two other songs on the studio album on which it was released.
Smith/Dickinson, who also wrote "The Writing on the Wall" and "Darkest Hour" for the album.
Clue 6:
The song has been played live. Its place in the running order of the setlist was normally one number lower than its place in the running order of the album.
#4 on "The Future Past" tour, #5 on the album.
Clue 7:
The song lyrics touch upon familiar Maiden themes such as war, pain, imprisonment, and... crucifixion.
War in heaven/imprisoned by my deadly sin/between the line of sin and pain/once crucified you forgave it all
Clue 8:
The song beings with an instrumental intro. A slight variation of this intro serves as the outro, and variations of this theme are also played in the chorus, although a bit deeper in the mix. After the intro, there is another instrumental part before the vocals kick in. Variations of this part is played throughout the verses of the song.
