Afraid To Shoot Strangers
Iron Maiden
Fear Of The Dark (1992)

Lying awake at night I wipe the sweat from my brow
But it’s not the fear, ‘cos I’d rather go now


Trying to visualise the horrors that will lay ahead
The desert sand mound a burial ground


When it comes to the time
Are we partners in crime?
When it comes to the time We’ll be ready to die


God let us go now and finish what’s to be done
Thy Kingdom Come
Thy shall be done.. on earth


Trying to justify to ourselves the reasons to go
Should we live and let live
Forget or Forgive


But how can we let them go on this way?
The reign of terror corruption must end
And we know deep down there’s no other way
No trust, no reasoning, no more to say


Afraid to shoot strangers Afraid to shoot strangers.
