Fly, on your way, like an eagle / Fly as high as the Sun.

Tyranny of freedom is do what you like. There's a world gone crazy, cause it can't say no.

I guess it was the first time I really thought about leaving. I don't just mean Iron Maiden, I mean quitting music altogether. I just thought, 'Nothing is worth feeling like this for.' I began to feel like I was a piece of machinery, like I was part of the lighting rig.

Fly, on your way, like an eagle / Fly as high as the Sun.

Nothing lasts forever but the certainty of change
