Iron Maiden - Sporthalle, Hamburg, Germany,Nov. 26, 2003, during the '' Dance of Death World Tour'' 2003 - 2004. Paschendale (Smith, Harris) Bruce Dickinson:Vocals Steve Harris:Bass Janick Gers:Guitar Dave Murray:Guitar Adrian Smith:Guitar Nicko McBrain:Drums [Lyrics] In a foreign field you lay Lonely soldier unknown grave On his dying words he prays Tell the world of Paschendale Relive all that he's been through Last communion of his soul Rust your bullets with his tears Let me tell you about his years Laying low in a blood-filled trench Killing time 'til my very own death On my face I can feel the falling rain Never see my friends again In the smoke, in the mud and lead Smell the fear and the feeling of dread Soon be time to go over the wall Rapid fire and the end of us all Whistles, shouts, and more gun fire Lifeless bodies hang on barbed wire Battlefield nothing but a bloody tomb Be reunited with my dead friends soon Many soldiers eighteen years Drown in mud, no more tears Surely a war no-one can win, Killing time about to begin Home, far away from the war, a chance to live again[x2] The bodies of ours and our foes The sea of death it overflows In no man's land God only knows Into jaws of death we go Crucified as if on a cross, Allied troops they mourn their loss German war propaganda machine Such before has never been seen Swear I heard the angels cry Pray to God no more may die So that people know the truth Tell the tale of Paschendale Cruelty has a human heart Every man does play his part Terror of the men we kill The human heart is hungry still I stand my ground for the very last time Gun is ready as I stand in line Nervous wait for the whistle to blow Rush of blood and over we go Blood is falling like the rain Its crimson cloak unveils again The sound of guns can't hide their shame And so we die in Paschendale Dodging shrapnel and barbed wire Running straight at cannon fire Running blind as I hold my breath Say a prayer, symphony of death As we charge the enemy lines A burst of fire and we go down I choke a cry but no-one hears Feel the blood go down my throat Home, far away from the war, a chance to live again [x4] See my spirit on the wind Across the lines, beyond the hill Friend and foe will meet again Those who died at Paschendale ..................................... ''Paschendale'' is a song from the thirteenth studio album ''Dance of Death'' by Iron Maiden,released first in Japan on September 2 and rest of the world on September 8, 2003. "Paschendale" tells us of the horrors of the First World War, taking the example of a battle that happened in Belgium, but the story could have taken place on virtually any battlefield of that time. Here, a new light is shed on the atrocity of war, as this one (like WW II) was fought essentially by conscripts who were dragged into this terrible nightmare, unlike most recent wars like the First Gulf War depicted by Iron Maiden in "Afraid To Shoot Strangers" ''Dance of Death'' album marks the first participation in songwriting by Nicko McBrain, who co-wrote the song "New Frontier" and also is the first (and so far only) time that all members of the band get a songwriting credit. It is sometimes mistakenly said that Steve Harris performed all the keyboard parts on the album because no credit is given to usual collaborator Michael Kenney, but this is actually due to an oversight in the printing of the album booklet (no instrument credits are given to any of the full band members either). The band's usual message in every album (a variation on the line "Up the Irons!") is absent too. The title of the album refers to the late-medieval allegory on the universality of death: no matter one's station in life, the dance of death unites all. This philosophy is more commonly known as Danse Macabre.
