2 Minutes to Midnight Lyrics by Iron Maiden

2 Minutes to Midnight Lyrics

    Kill for gain or shoot to maim
    But we don't need a reason
    The Golden Goose is on the loose
    And never out of season
    Some blackened pride still burns inside
    This shell of bloody treason
    Here's my gun for a barrel of fun
    For the love of living death.

    CHORUS
    The killer's breed or the demon's seed,
    The glamour, the fortune, the pain,
    Go to war again, blood is freedom's stain,
    But don't you pray for my soul anymore.
    2 minutes to midnight
    The hands that threaten doom.
    2 minutes to midnight
    To kill the unborn in the womb.

    The blind men shout let the creatures out
    We'll show the unbelievers
    The napalm screams of human flames
    Of a prime time Belsen feast...YEAH!
    As the reasons for the carnage cut their meat and lick the gravy,
    We oil the jaws of the war machine and feed it with our babies.

    CHORUS

    The body bags and little rags of children torn in two
    And the jellied brains of those who remain to put the finger right on you.
    As the madmen play on words and make us all dance to their song,
    To the tune of starving millions to make a better kind of gun.

    CHORUS

    Midnight...all night...
