Iron Maiden - Still Life lyrics

(Murray/Harris)

Take a look in the pool and what do you see

In the dark depths there faces beckoning me

Can't you see them it's plain for all to see

They were there oh I know you don't believe me.

Oh...I've never felt so strange

But...I'm not going insane.

I've no doubt that you think I'm off my head

You don't say but it's in your eyes instead

Hours I spend out just gazing into that pool

Something draws me there I don't know what to do.

Oh...they drain my strength away

Oh...they're asking me to stay.

Nightmares...spirits calling me

Nightmares...they won't leave me be.

All my life's blood is slowly draining away

And I feel that I'm weaker every day

Somehow I know I haven't long to go

Joining them at the bottom of the pool.

Now...I feel they are so near

I...begin to see them clear

Nightmares..ing all the time

Nightmares...Will give me peace of mind.

Now it's clear and I know what I have to do

I must take you down there to look at them too

Hand in hand then we'll jump right into the pool

Can't you see not just me they want you too.

Oh...we'll drown together

It...will be forever.

Nightmares...forever calling me

Nightmares...Now we rest in peace.
