A reference to the chart position for the song on the UK charts - where it reached #9.

A clue in two parts. Lebron (James) has the nickname of King James, pair that to Matthew 6:9-13 in the original King James Bible and you'll see the line of "Your kingdom come, your will be done" was "Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done." The Wicker Man's US single version has a call-and-response in the chorus featuring the line "Thy will be done."

Clue #3: No quiet intro here.

Several, actually! Edward the Great, The Essential Iron Maiden and From Fear to Eternity.

Clue #6: It has not been played this decade.

Last time it was played live was in 2019 -- which I guess I just realized made Clue #10 a redundant clue.

Clue #7: Think the name had been floating around in the subconscious of one of the writers. Educated guess, perhaps.

Co-writer Bruce previously featured Wicker Man as the name of a demo/outtake from the Accident of Birth sessions in 1997. The Wicker Man from Maiden was released in 2000.

Clue #8: Those Cali snobs didn't think it was Elite.

Only played by the six-man McBrain lineup.

Clue #10: It was not played on The Future Past Tour.

Totally redundant with Clue #6. At that point last night I was just chucking stuff at the wall going "Oh my God, how do they not have it yet?"

Your turn, @Vaenyr !
 
Clue #1: It is said that there are locations in this world where one can hear voices, not heard elsewhere. Maybe there's some truth to it.

Clue #3: Going a bit meta, some might say we're dealing with an echo of the past. A kind of deja-vu, if you will.
