IRON MAIDEN

- Can I Play With Madness Lyrics

Can I play with madness?

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

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 and he laughed at me
Can I play with madness?
He said, "You're blind too blind to see, yeah"
He said that you're blind to see, yeah

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

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 and he laughed at me
Can I play with madness?
He said, "You're blind too blind to see"

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 and he laughed at me
Can I play with madness?
He said,"You're blind too blind to see"
Can I play with madness?
