Como Estais Amigos

"Como Estais Amigos" is the eighth and final track on Iron Maiden's 1998 studio album Virtual XI. It was written by guitarist Janick Gers and then lead singer Blaze Bayley. The song's title translates to "How are you, friends", and is a tribute to soldiers on both sides in the Falklands War.

Lyrics
Como esta amigo For the death of those we don't know Shall we kneel and say a prayer They will never know we care Shall we keep the fires burning Shall we keep the flames alight Should we try to remember What is wrong and what is right

No more tears, no more tears If we live for a hundred years Amigos no more tears

If we do forget them and The sacrifice they made Will the wickedness and sadness Come to visit us again Shall we dance a dance in sunlight Shall we drink a wine of peace Shall our tears be of joy Shall we keep at bay the beast

No more tears, no more tears If we live for a hundred years Amigos no more tears

Inside the scream is silent Inside it must remain No victory and no vanquishment Only horror, only pain

No more tears, no more tears If we live for a hundred years Amigos no more tears
