iron maiden - be quick or be dead
covered in sinners and dripping with gilt
making you money from slime and from filth
parading your bellies in ivory towers
investing your lives in your schemes and your powers
you got to watch them - be quick or be dead
snake eyes in heaven - the thief in your head
youve got to watch them - be quick or be dead
snake eyes in heaven - the thief in your head...
be quick! or be dead!
be quick! or be dead
see... whats ruling all our lives
see... whos pulling the strings...
i bet you wont fall on your face...
your belly will hold you in place
the serpent is crawling inside of your ear
he says you must vote for what you want to hear
dont matter whats wrong as long as youre alright
so pull yourself stupid and rob yourself blind.
be quick!
