Iron Maiden - Rock in Rio: Wikipedia Album Entry

Rock In Rio is a live album recorded in Brazil by Iron Maiden in 2001. Here they faced their second largest ever crowd - 250,000 people - the first being their 1985 Rock In Rio performance to a crowd of 300,000, and with the relatively recent return of lead singer Bruce Dickinson and guitarist Adrian Smith to the band, they recorded their fifth live album.

It features many of their best known tracks, including the eponymous "Iron Maiden" and "Run to the Hills" coupled with some of their "comeback" tracks, such as "The Wicker Man" and "Brave New World." Less popular songs were also performed, such as Bruce Dickinson's versions of the Blaze Bayley-era songs "Sign of the Cross" and "The Clansman".

A video version is also available on DVD.

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 - 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 - 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 - 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?

Won't you come into my room?
I wanna show you all my wares
I just want to see your blood
I just want to stand and stare

Out of the winter came a war horse of steel
Never killed a woman before, but I know how it feels

I know you'd have gone insane if you saw what I saw

The sign of the cross
The name of the rose a fire in the sky
The sign of the cross

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
