Lord of the Flies
Embracing Chaos: Unveiling the Profound Message in Iron Maiden's 'Lord of the Flies'
Lyrics
I don't care for this world anymore
I have lost interest in this world.
I just want to live my own fantasy
I desire to live in my own imagined world.
Fate has brought us to these shores
Fate has brought us to this place.
What was meant to be is now happening
What was supposed to happen is now occurring.
I've found that I like this living in danger
I enjoy living in risky situations.
Living on edge it feels
Living on the edge feels exhilarating.
It makes us feel as one
It brings a sense of unity among us.
Who cares now what's right or wrong
The distinction between right and wrong is irrelevant now.
It's reality
This is the harsh truth of our existence.
Killing so we survive
We kill to survive.
Wherever we may roam
No matter where we go.
Wherever we may hide
No matter where we hide.
We've got to get away
We must escape from our current situation.
I don't want existence to end
I don't want life to end.
We must prepare ourselves for the elements
We need to prepare for the challenges ahead.
I just want to feel like we're strong
I want to feel strong.
We don't need a code of morality
We don't need a moral code.
I like all the mixed emotion and anger
I appreciate the mix of emotions and anger.
It brings out the animal the power you can feel
It brings out the primal, powerful side of us.
And feeling so high with this much adrenalin
Feeling intense with high adrenaline.
Excited but scary to believe what we've become
Exciting but frightening to acknowledge what we've become.
Saints and sinners
People with both virtuous and sinful qualities.
Something within us
There's a force within us.
We are lord of the flies
We are the rulers of chaos and disorder.
Saints and sinners
People with both virtuous and sinful qualities.
Something willing us
There's a force compelling us.
To be lord of the flies
We are destined to be rulers of chaos and disorder.
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Repeating the idea of chaos and disorder within us.
Saints and sinners
Reiterating the presence of both good and bad within us.
Something within us
There's a force within us.
We are lord of the flies
We are the rulers of chaos and disorder.
Saints and sinners
Repeating the idea of chaos and disorder within us.
Something willing us
There's a force compelling us.
To be lord of the flies
We are destined to be rulers of chaos and disorder.
Saints and sinners
Reiterating the presence of both good and bad within us.
Something within us
There's a force within us.
We are lord of the flies
We are the rulers of chaos and disorder.
Saints and sinners
Repeating the idea of chaos and disorder within us.
Something willing us
There's a force compelling us.
To be lord of the flies
We are destined to be rulers of chaos and disorder.
