Brave New World
...they still want to rattle your grey matter.
Fashion was never a consideration. Metal always existed outside the realms of time anyway, and Iron Maiden were its prime old-skool sorcery'n'riffs exponents. They survived everything the '80s threw at them, but now, with sports metal prowling, this is no time to go soft. For the most part they haven't. With longest-enduring singer Bruce Dickinson back in...

Iron Maiden - Brave New World: Wikipedia Album Entry
Brave New World is the twelfth studio album by Iron Maiden released on 30 May 2000. It marked the return of longtime lead singer Bruce Dickinson and guitarist Adrian Smith to the band. It was also the band's first studio recording with three guitar players, as Janick Gers stayed with the band after Smith's return.
The album art and title song are references to the novel of the same name written by Aldous Huxley. The upper half of the album art was done by Derek Riggs, and is the last new artwork done by Riggs to be used on an Iron Maiden release.
The songs "The Wicker Man" and "Out of the Silent Planet" were both released as singles. "The Wicker Man" was released in the U.S as a promo single with extra vocals in the chorus.
"The Nomad", "Dream of Mirrors", and "The Mercenary" were originally written for Virtual XI, according to Adrian Smith in an interview. He said there was a fourth song, but he didn't know which one it was and that Steve Harris did not remember either. Former singer Blaze Bayley also co-wrote "Dream Of Mirrors", but wasn't credited.

Iron Maiden - Brave New World Lyrics
Iron Maiden - Out Of The Silent Planet Lyrics
Out of the silent planet
Out of the silent planet we are
Out of the silent planet
Out of the silent planet we are
Iron Maiden - Fallen Angel Lyrics
Azazel is besides you and he's playing the game
Demons are inside you and they're making their play
Watching and they're hiding as they wait for the time
For a devil to get ready and take over your mind
Iron Maiden - The Nomad Lyrics
Like a mirage riding on the desert sand
Like a vision floating with the desert winds
Know the secret of the ancient desert lands
You are the keeper of the mystery in your hands
Iron Maiden - The Mercenary Lyrics
Pay to kill, die to lose, hunted, hunter which are you
Diablo come again to make trophies out of men
Lose your skin, lose your skull, one by one the sack is full
In the heat dehydrate, know which breath will be your last
Iron Maiden - Ghost of The Navigator Lyrics
I have sailed to many lands, now I make my final journey
On the bow I stand, west is where I go
Through the night I plough, still my heart, calculate and pray
As the compass swings, my will is strong, I will not be led astray
Iron Maiden - Dream of Mirrors Lyrics
Have you ever felt the future is the past
But you don't know how?
A reflected dream of a captured time
Is it really now is it really happening?
Iron Maiden - Brave New World Lyrics
Dying swans, twisted wings, beauty not needed here
Lost my love, lost my life, in this garden of fear
I have seen many things, in a lifetime alone
Mother love is no more, bring this savage back home
Iron Maiden - Blood Brothers Lyrics
And if you're taking a walk through the garden of life
What do you think you'd expect you would see?
Just like a mirror reflecting the moods of your life
And in the river reflections of me
Iron Maiden - The Wicker Man Lyrics
Hand of fate is moving
And the finger points to you
He knocks you to your feet
And so what are you gonna do
Iron Maiden - Thin Line Between Love and Hate Lyrics
When a person turns to wrong
Is it a want to be, belong?
Part of things at any cost
At what price a life is lost
