Killing Floor (Dickinson, Adrian Smith) Bruce Dickinson - Vocals Adrian Smith - Guitar Roy Z - Guitar Eddie Casillas - Bass guitar David Ingraham - Drums [Lyrics] So this is dreamtime, and all is quiet So this is dreamtime, and all is night I've never been held by the hand of god Who's rocking the cradle, if he is not? He turned the oil into his blood Panzer divisions burning in in the mud The stain of freedom - he's washed it out Who's rocking the cradle - I have no doubt Sleeping eyes awake To see his hooded gaze Whispers on the wind The darker side of ecstasy... Satan - has left his killing floor Satan - has left his killing floor Satan - hellfires burn no more Satan - has left his killing floor So now it's dreamtime for you tonight So now it's dreamtime, and all is quiet You've never been held by the hand of god Who's rocking your cradle, if he is not? Sleeping eyes awake To see his hooded gaze Whispers on the wind The never-ending breath goodbye... Satan - has left his killing floor Satan - has left his killing floor Satan - his fires burn no more Satan - is coming back for more Satan - has left his killing floor Satan - has left his killing floor ..................................... ''Killing Floor'' is a song from Bruce Dickinson's solo album,The Chemical Wedding 1998. The Chemical Wedding is the fifth studio album by English heavy metal singer Bruce Dickinson. It was released on July 14, 1998. The album draws some inspiration from the works of William Blake - of whom some paintings are featured in the artwork, as well as both sung and spoken excerpts from Blake's prophetic works - although the name of the album and its title track derive from the Rosicrucian manifest the Chymical Wedding of Christian Rosenkreutz. As with the previous album, it featured Iron Maiden guitarist Adrian Smith, former (and once again current) bandmate of Dickinson. The film, Chemical Wedding, with a screenplay by Dickinson, was released in May 2008. It features the title track from the album on its soundtrack, but concerns a story about the reincarnation of Aleister Crowley and is otherwise unrelated. (Source: Wikipedia) The songs Dickinson wrote for the album had a general "alchemy" theme (alchemy is the psuedo-science in which the practicers of alchemia attempted to make gold from other metals) "and specifically the poetry of William Blake, which is very much based on the philosophy of alchemy." Dickinson also said: "Each song has a sort of frame in which it operates. The first song is about fear, the second song is about tragedy, the third song is about union. You could pick a theme or a topic for each song so that's what the song is about and then you put it in a frame. For example, one of the songs is about failure and the song is called "The Trumpets of Jericho." In the story of the trumpets of Jericho in the Bible, the walls fall down when the tribes of Israel walk around the city and blow they trumpets. Except in this song they don't, it doesn't work. You're done everything right, everything's cool but the wall's still standing. And what do you do? How do you face up to that fact? And it's all part of the whole alchemy thing. What were the alchemists trying to do? They were trying to achieve something that was virtually impossible, they spent their whole lives trying to do it, and all of them failed, or pretty damn near all of them failed. So, what does that feel like, and how does that work, and why keep carrying on. So that's the way the songs kind of work. And you don't have to go into them in all this detail, you could just sit back there and let it hit you over the head like a sledgehammer cause the album works it's just a really heavy album. But it's all there if you want to dig through the words.
