Iron Maiden Picture Game

[Black Abyss Babe]

Revelations? ("and the seed is sown in a holy place")

A song that certainly has nothing to do with agriculture but the reference to "sowing a seed" is still literal, however poetic.

Everyone seems to be going around the edges of this puzzle without much consideration of what is at the centre of it - what is the occupation of the people in the picture and what have they done to enable them to be engaged in the activity you see them doing?

I'm just gonna throw No More Lies out there in the odd chance that the first song that comes to my head despite having no connection as far as I can see is the right song.

Your "odd chance" didn't come up this time, sorry.

I understand this is the clue to figure everything out, but no Maiden song is clicking with that (for me, at least). "Fortunes of War"? "Man On the Edge"?

Neither of those, but with the first of the two you're thinking about the right type of song.

I imagine the reason why nothing is "clicking" for you is that the clue is to just two lines of the lyrics, and those two lines might not be the first that would come to mind when you think of this song. But the reference is very direct and specific, and when you see it you'll just go . Keep looking!

The Aftermath?

 

[Black Abyss Babe]

The Aftermath?

"Once a ploughman hitched his team
Here he sowed his little dream."

And I thought it might have been too obvious ...

 

[Diesel 11]

Well, I do say. Good show!

 

[Black Abyss Babe]

Thank you, @Diesel 11!

 

[Black Bart]

Here I go again, then!

 

[Number 6]

Just to get it out of the way: "Cross-Eyed Mary"? Perhaps, "Charlotte the Harlot"?

 

[Black Bart]

Neither

 

[frus]

Prowler

 

[Diesel 11]

Seventh Son of a Seventh Son

 

[Black Bart]

Nope to both

 

[Diesel 11]

Iron Maiden?

 

[MrKnickerbocker]

Justice of the Peace?

Because Aqualung won the Grammy that Metallica should have won for ...And Justice for All?

 

[Black Bart]

No. It has to do with the cover itself. For the moment, it is Frus's answer which has been the closest.

 

[Diesel 11]

Holy Smoke?

 

[Number 6]

"Phantom of the Opera"?

 

[Black Bart]

Oh God, no! (though the Phantom is somehow a kind of underground version of the answer)

HINT: mind you, when I posted my picture, I didn't post a picture alone, but a little text too (which is not innocent )

PS: the next clue will have names and dates, but I'll wait for a few guesses before
