Dedicated to my Dad, who passed away this morning. Iron Maiden was his all time favorite.

[xaviermirocanto]

Epic song of one of the best groups of the history

[Tiwa]

My god what a riff, vocals, solo, ending. This is one of the greatest Maiden songs that I've ever heard

[rhesareeves]

When I was little, my Dad would fly me around the house to this song. He ain't dead or nothin'. I just wanted to tell everyone how awesome my Dad was, and still is cause today is his birthday! Love you, Dad!🤘🎉

Iron Maiden has the best Metal vocalist ever
one of the best bassists of all time
two amazing guitarists
and a fabulous drummer.
Perfect band.

Icarus flew too close to the Sun and paid it with his life. A cautionary tale. Beautifully done. Up the Irons!

[Modey]

My favorite Maiden song. Makes me feel like I have no limits.

[ffarkasm]

Remember when Iron Maiden was good?


Oh wait, it is still good and always has been.

[speedcuber]

I showed my five year-old cousin this song and other maiden songs, and she loves them. I feel like I'm doing my part in bettering society.

I’m 47 years old and have been listening to this song since it came out and I still get goose bumps when that chorus kicks in. It has to be the most perfect chorus in the history of metal.

As the sun breaks above the ground
An old man stands on the hill
As the ground warms to the first rays of light
A birdsong shatters the still
His eyes are ablaze
See the madman in his gaze
Fly on your way, like an eagle
Fly as high as the sun
On your way, like an eagle
Fly, touch the sun, yeah
Now the crowd breaks and a young boy appears
Looks the old man in the eye
As he spreads his wings and shouts at the crowd
In the name of God my father, I fly
His eyes seem so glazed
As he flies on the wings of a dream
Now he knows his father betrayed
Now his wings turn to ashes, to ashes his grave
Fly on your way like an eagle
Fly as high as the sun
On your way, like an eagle
Fly, touch the sun
Yeah, fly on your way like an eagle
Fly as high as the sun
On your way, like an eagle
Fly as high as the sun
On your way, like an eagle
Fly, touch the sun
On your way, like an eagle
Fly!
Fly as high as the sun

My 60 year old Aunt never heard Maiden before, i went on a car ride with her and half way through the song, she was singing the chorus out loud. Maiden 4 life, Up the Irons forever!!!

[manyolagos]

This is my favorite song from Iron Maiden
And man ! They have a lot to choose from
But it was a certain time and place that brings me a lot of memories.. i will love this song forever .. 18 yrs old then .. 59 now

[dannyandriotes]

It is a crime they are not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
Rock and Roll Hall of shame!!!!

[TheReeveOfMontClare]

Iron Maiden, The Heavy Metal Standard Bearers. This is the most solid rock and roll band in history. Great musicians on every instrument and a singer who is among the greatest ever. The songs are incredibly well written and iconic. As near to perfection as is humanly possible.

[dougcarson]

Still remember watching this on MTV back in 1983. Sounds great as ever.

[cienciatecsocial]

No falsetto. Dickinson reaching the higher notes with head voice. That´s amazing !

[spider-alpha]

This song inspired me to come out of my depression and ever since then as the song says, I fly as the sun

[tsmith]

Who th fu*k is giving this a thumbs down?
This is metal brilliance.

[shawnbullard]

I've the one to take my daughter to daycare and eventually pre-K all the way up until she was in the 5th grade and every morning on our drive to school she made me play this song all the way there and if I was off work and picked her up after school she wanted this song!! I miss those days terribly but, Iron Maiden gave me wonderful memories and feeling proud that she loves Maiden as much as I do. Now she's 20 and a great kid. Never ever has she done anything wrong
