- Revelations LyricsSongwriters: Dickinson, Paul Bruce;
Oh, God of earth and altar
Bow down and hear our cry
Our earthly rulers falter
Our people drift and die
The walls of gold entomb us
The swords of scorn divide
Take not thy thunder from us
Take away our pride
Just a babe in a black abyss
No reason for a place like this
The walls are cold and souls cry out in pain
An easy way for the blind to go
A clever path for the fools who know
The secret of the hanged man, the smile on his lips
The light of the blind, you'll see
The venom tears my spine
The eyes of the Nile are opening, you'll see
She came to me with a serpent's kiss
As the eye of the sun rose on her lips
Moonlight catches silver tears I cry
So we lay in a black embrace
And the seed is sown in a holy place
And I watched and I waited for the dawn
The light of the blind, you'll see
The venom tears my spine
The eyes of the Nile are opening, you'll see
Bind all of us together
Ablaze with hope and free
No storm or heavy weather
Will rock the boat you'll see
The time has come to close your eyes
And still the wind and rain
For the one who will be king
The watcher in the ring
It is you, oh
It is you
Oh, God of earth and altar
Bow down and hear our cry
Our earthly rulers falter
Our people drift and die
The walls of gold entomb us
The swords of scorn divide
Take not thy thunder from us
Take away our pride
Just a babe in a black abyss
No reason for a place like this
The walls are cold and souls cry out in pain
An easy way for the blind to go
A clever path for the fools who know
The secret of the hanged man, the smile on his lips
The light of the blind, you'll see
The venom tears my spine
The eyes of the Nile are opening, you'll see
She came to me with a serpent's kiss
Moonlight catches silver tears I cry
So we lay in a black embrace
And the seed is sown in a holy place
And I watched and I waited for the dawn
The light of the blind, you'll see
The venom tears my spine
The eyes of the Nile are opening, you'll see
Bind all of us together
Ablaze with hope and free
No storm or heavy weather
Will rock the boat you'll see
The time has come to close your eyes
And still the wind and rain
For the one who will be king
The watcher in the ring
It is you, oh
It is you

When we explore how the lyrics were meant to make us feel, Iron Maiden's 'Revelations' is a multi-faceted song that touches on such elements as power, corruption, and spiritual awakening. The use of metaphors like 'O God of Earth and Altar' and 'The Secret of the Hangman' represents the fight against tyrants and the search for illumination in the world full of evil. The words bring to mind the whole process of getting to know one's self, and then realizing that one has the strength to win over the difficulties and to welcome the light, so the process ends by giving one the power to determine his fate. The lyrics from Revelations are in the first place about reflection, hope, angst, social commentary, and empowerment. Simultaneously, the song conveys the idea of godliness and spiritual petition, hardship, and despair, hope, and togetherness, as well as change and birth. The lyrics are thus rich with adult themes and imagery that might not be fit for kids under 13, for example, pain, sorrow, and intricate emotional states. To some extent, there is no offensive or violent language, yet the whole thing has the tone and theme of a situation requiring parental supervision.
