Lyrics[]
Alright
Won't you come into my room
I want to show you all my wares
I just want to see your blood
I just want to stand and stare
See the blood begin to flow
As it falls upon the floor
Iron Maiden can't be fought
Iron Maiden can't be sought
Oh well, wherever,
wherever you are
Iron Maiden's gonna get you,
No matter how far
See the blood flow,
Watching it shed,
Up above my head
Iron Maiden wants you for dead
Won't you come into my room
I want to show you all my wares
I just want to see your blood
I just want to stand and stare
See the blood begin to flow
As it falls upon the floor
Iron Maiden can't be fought
Iron Maiden can't be sought
Oh well, wherever,
wherever you are
Iron Maiden's gonna get you,
No matter how far
See the blood flow,
Watching it shed,
Up above my head
Iron Maiden wants you for dead
Won't you come into my room
I want to show you all my wares
I just want to see your blood
I just want to stand and stare
See the blood begin to flow
As it falls upon the floor
Iron Maiden can't be fought
Iron Maiden can't be sought
Oh well, wherever,
wherever you are
Iron Maiden's gonna get you,
No matter how far
See the blood flow,
Watching it shed,
Up above my head
Iron Maiden wants you for dead
Ow, ow
Yeah
