Sea of madness

Out in the street somebody’s crying
Out in the night the fires burn
Maybe tonight somebody’s crying
Reached the point of no return

Oh… my eyes they see but I can’t believe
Oh… my heart is heavy as I turn my back and leave

Like the eagle and the dove
Fly so high on wings above
When all you see can only bring you sadness
Like a river we will flow
On towards the sea we go
When all you do can only bring you sadness
Out on the sea of madness

Somewhere I hear a voice that’s calling
Out in the dark there burns a dream
You got to hope when you are falling
To find the world that you have seen

Oh… my eyes they see but I can’t believe
Oh… my heart is heavy as I turn my back and leave

Like the eagle and the dove
Fly so high on wings above
When all you see can only bring you sadness
Like a river we will flow
On towards the sea we go
When all you do can only bring you sadness
Out on the sea of madness

It’s madness
The sun don’t shine
On the sea of madness
There ain’t no wind to fill your sails
Madness…
When all you see can only bring you sadness
On towards the sea we go

Out in the night somebody’s crying
Out in the night the fires burn
Maybe tonight somebody’s crying
Reached the point of no return

Oh… my eyes they see but I can’t believe
Oh… my heart is heavy as I turn my back and leave

Like the eagle and the dove
Fly so high on wings above
When all you see can only bring you sadness
Like a river we will flow
On towards the sea we go
When all you do can only bring you sadness
Out on the sea of madness…

Sea of madness é uma música pretensiosa, de tão boa, composta pelo Adrian Smith. Pertence ao meu disco favorito do Iron Maiden, “Somewhere in time”, de 1986. Traduz hoje, 24 anos depois, exatamente como se sente uma pessoa que tá por conta, mesmo. É por isso que eles são quem são.
