I'm open to any non-red and black colour scheme!

Is there something wrong with Red and Black?
Those are probably like the two most metal colors.

As a beer it works really well. As a song, well, not so well (the instrumental part is pretty good though).

They are the colours of a football club that are rivals of the team I support.

Is Futureal Real?
Personally its fitting. Black for darkness and choas and red for violence and blood. It also the color scheme of Book of Souls Eddie

No, it’s yet another song based on a famous book of the same name.

As you scream into the web of silence...
That's what I thought at first, but I'm pretty sure it's not the truth here. There's so much stuff about luck in the lyrics, which is something you need when playing cards... shit, for the life of me I'm trying to remember where I read the interview from Steve detailing it. Was there an interview? IDK, but I think you're wrong in this case.

The first, second, and final verses pretty clearly reference the themes of the book, as far as I can tell. The book itself apparently compares the red of the army and the black of the church to the metaphor of a roulette wheel in the context of a revolution (which is itself a pun). The interior verses seem to be extending that metaphor into other games of chance. Makes sense to me.

Which explains the whoa-oh part. Like Bruce just figured out the connection.

Sounds like a plan. I'll have to remember checking Kevin Shirley's instagram to see if he posts some pictures of Paris.

I believe so.

Yeah. That does make sense. Life is preatty much a gamble

I honestly don't think it has to do with the book. There aren't any specific references. I think its again about the "walls of life and perils of death." Its probably my favorite song in Book of Souls and is somewhere in the top ten of my alltime favorite Iron Maiden songs. Each Iron Maiden album seems to have a specific theme and because Powerslave sort of had an overlying ancient Egypt theme, Book of Souls is sort of a spiritual sequel to PS, and its theme is mainly about Mayan Mysticism and general darkness.
