Judgement Day
@Black Bart got it! Judgment Day it is.
Clues explained:
Clue 1:
In the lyrics to this Maiden song, you will find the name of a song by the Ramones.
"Ignorance is bliss"
Clue 2:
View attachment 25996
Young versions of Sammy Hagar, David Coverdale and Blaze. All would later perform songs named "Judgment Day" with Van Halen, Whitesnake and Maiden, respectively.
Clue 3:
A question is a key element in the lyrics.
What will you say?
Clue 4:
The lyrics deal with the present, but also point to the future.
Verses deal with the present, while the chorus obviously is about what you will say on judgment day.
Clue 5:
There is (at least) one other song in Maiden's catalogue that deals with the same subject matter - although from a different angle.
"Judgment of Heaven", which takes on the concept of afterlife judgement from a personal perspective.
Clue 6:
The song features on more than one Maiden release, but not on a Maiden live album.
It's on the "Man on the Edge" single and "Best of the B-sides".
Clue 7:
This song's writing credits are not unique, but still quite rare in Maiden's catalogue.
It's one of only three Bayley/Gers compositions in the catalogue, along with "Man on the Edge" and "Como Estais Amigos".
Clue 8:
You're quick, so here's an off the cuff clue while I think of something more intricate: On a Maiden podcast I listened to the other day, the song's chorus was criticised for not being up to par.
Clue 9:
The lyrics mention a religious concept that can be found in both Islam and Christianity.
Judgment Day, of course.
Clue 10:
The words 'death' and 'dead' are both found in the lyrics.
Self-explanatory.
Clue 11:
In the 'not the ones' list below, you can find one song that has a very similar feel, and also the same writers credited, as the song you're trying to identify. Another of the songs on that list has a word in its title that is also in the title of the song you're looking for.
The Gers/Bayley'-penned "Man on the Edge" has a similar rapid pace (but a better chorus, perhaps). "Judgment of Heaven".
