ABOUT IRON MAIDEN:
Iron Maiden are an institution. Over the course of six decades they have come to embody a spirit of fearless creative independence, ferocious dedication to their fans, and a cheerful indifference to their critics that’s won them a following that spans every culture, generation, and time-zone. A story of gritty determination and courageous defiance of the naysayers, theirs has been an adventure like no other.

The band’s immense discography includes the studio albums ‘The Number Of The Beast’, ‘Piece Of Mind’, ‘Powerslave, ‘Somewhere In Time’, ‘Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son’, ‘Fear Of The Dark’, ‘The Final Frontier’ and ‘The Book Of Souls’ which have spawned many classic hits as ‘The Trooper’, ‘Wasted Years’, ‘Hallowed Be Thy Name’, ‘Wasting Love’, ‘Run To The Hills’, ‘Aces High’, ‘Rime Of The Ancient Mariner’ and ‘2 Minutes to Midnight’.

_"Your soul's gonna burn... in a lake of fire!"_
That is the Maidenest lyric of all time!

[Zasz]

When you are trapped into any bad life situation (maybe school, work, relationship, divorce) and you can't take anymore, well..."don't need the key to unlock this door, gonna break up the wall, break up this bad place" has ever been a sort of mantra to myself

[vlassisnikas]

Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son is a phenomenal album. Iron Maiden especially of the '80's are like a heavy metal fairytale. Epic! Up the hammers! Up the Irons!

[mrpig]

My dear brother who passed away recently was absolutely mad about iron maiden, makes me very emotional hearing these awesome songs again, god bless you iron maiden

[jamesbarker]

Maiden is LEGEND. Instantly recognizable sound, no one else like them before or since

[nachofernandezcomics]

Graham Chapman and the Holy Grail of Metal.

[caammm]

The happiest IM song. Gives me so much hope and optimism for the future

[louaville]

One of the greatest bands ever, I woke up to this band when I was a teen. I love this song and Wasted Years as well.

[madjoe]

I am amazed how a lot of Maiden songs sound great still today.
Doesn't sound like a 34 years old song!

[solidsnakeisme]

To everyone here, welcome and let's all enjoy this absolute masterpiece. If you're curious, yes you can play with madness.

[rhiannonking]

Thank you for being the song on my alarm clock. Every one needs that morning heart attack

[ComradNoFucksGivin.]

Ugg, don't you hate it when you're art teacher can't see Eddie The Head in the sky.

I believe this was the last thing Graham Chapman filmed before he died from cancer. I miss him very much 😥

[EddieGaster]

This would be one of Graham Chapman's last appearances before his death in October 1989.

[Dash]

Bruce Dickenson has THE MOST METAL voice in history. His voice is as iconic as Ozzy's.

[Zombiripuli]

Just a million views? YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING!
This is a legendary band!

[heavyd]

I can still remember seeing Iron Maiden at Alex Cooley's Agora Ballroom in Atlanta in 1982-83. The next year they went big and played the Fox Theater across the street. Maiden is always an amazing band to see live!

[Intro]
Can I play with madness?

[Verse 1]
Give me the sense to wonder
To wonder if I'm free
Give me a sense of wonder
To know I can be me
Give me the strength to hold my head up
Spit back in their face
Don't need no key to unlock this door
Gonna break down the walls
Break out of this bad place

[Chorus]
Can I play with madness?
The prophet stared at his crystal ball
Can I play with madness?
There's no vision there at all
Can I play with madness?
The prophet looked at me and laughed at me (ha) He said:
Can I play with madness?
He said you're blind, too blind to see

[Post-Chorus]
Said you're too blind to see

[Verse 2]
I screamed aloud to the old man
I said "Don't lie, don't say you don't know"
I say "You'll pay for this mischief
In this world or the next"
Oh, and then he fixed me with a freezing glance
And the hellfires raged in his eyes
He said "You wanna know the truth son?
Lord, I'll tell you the truth
Your soul's gonna burn in a lake of fire"

[Chorus]
Can I play with madness?
The prophet stared at his crystal ball
Can I play with madness?
There's no vision there at all
Can I play with madness?
The prophet looked at me and laughed at me (ha ha) He said:
Can I play with madness?
He said you're blind, too blind to see

[Bridge]
"Listen to me, " said the prophet

[Guitar Solo: Adrian Smith]

[Chorus]
Can I play with madness?
The prophet stared at his crystal ball
Can I play with madness?
There's no vision there at all
Can I play with madness?
The prophet looked at me and laughed at me (ha) He said:
Can I play with madness?
He said you're blind, too blind to see
Said you're too blind to see

[Outro]
Can I play with madness

[elverdugo]

Can I play with madness?
He said you're blind, too blind to see

GREAT!!!

[summoningdark]

"Can I play with madness?" No! He's been a very naughty boy, and he's not allowed out!
