If Eternity Should Fail Iron Maiden

[Intro]
Here is the soul of a man
Here in this place for the taking
Clothed in white, stand in the light
Here is the soul of a man

Time to speak with the shaman again
Conjure the jester again
Black dog in the ruins is howling my name
So here is the soul of a man

[Verse 1]
When the world was virgin before the coming of men
Just a solar witness, the beginning of the end
From a world of magma to a cold rock face
The ascent of madness and a human race

We are strange believers, all of us
There are stranger truths, immortal lust
We rise from slumber, he calls our name
Recalls our number, abide with pain

[Chorus]
Reef in a sail at the edge of the world if eternity should fail
Waiting in line for the ending of time if eternity should fail
Reef in a sail at the edge of the world if eternity should fail
Waiting in line for the ending of time if eternity should fail
