Still Life Lyrics


(Solo: Dave Murray)

Take a look in the pool and what do you see,

In the dark depths their faces beckoning me

Can't you see them it's plain for all to see,

They were there oh I know you don't believe me

Oh...I've never felt so strange,

But...I'm not going insane

I've no doubt that you think I'm off my head,

You don't say but it's in your eyes instead

Hours I spend out just gazing into that pool,

Something draws me there I don't know what to do

Oh...they drain my strength away,

Oh...they're asking me to stay

Nightmares...spirits calling me,

Nightmares...they won't leave me be

All my life's blood is slowly draining away,

And I feel that I'm weaker every day

Somehow I know I haven't long to go

Joining them at the bottom of the pool

Now...I feel they are so near,

I...begin to see them clear

Nightmares...coming all the time,

Nightmares...will give me peace of mind

(Solo: both together)

(Solo: Adrian Smith)

(Solo: Dave Murray)

Now it's clear and I know what I have to do,

I must take you down there to look at them too

Hand in hand then we'll jump right into that pool,

Can't you see not just me they want you too

Oh...we'll drown together,

It...will be forever

Nightmares...forever calling me,

Nightmares...now we rest in peace
