(with the best intentions, ofc.) steve didn't write this song, janick did. it was the first (and the only, i think) song he wrote for maiden. and to beorn: i don't know was it accidentally or not, but you wrote that bruce has done the vocals since number of the beast thus far. but that's only partially right. blaza bayley sang for maiden in the late 90's on two albums. sorry for the length of the comment, cheers. Best Iron Maiden song. | Reviewer: Pottle-D | 7/20/09 Personally this is their best song. It sends me through so many different emotions when I am listening to it & the solo is just epic beyond all preportions. Iron Maiden the best band the world will ever see. Most greatest song | Reviewer: Dylan jaeger | 6/23/09 I'm a huge maiden fan and have been for 6 years now and I'm only 17. Not to sound corny or wired but this song is so beautiful if u really listen to it. This song is now my favorite song and I can't stop listening to it !!!! Up the irons Flight 666 best movie ever possible | Reviewer: Clint | 3/7/09 this i heard from a friend's brother, and it's that "may be the character was such a girl that he couldn't withstand having a singe shot". I thouht that was a total bull shit, but i'm submitting this just in case, if one of you guys think it might be interesting. Awesome song, i'm listening to ir while i write this :D. I love the part that says "when you're lying in your sleep, when you're lying in your bed, and you wake from your dreams to go dancing with the dead". scary | Reviewer: mike | 12/4/08 Man I took a walk around my neighborhood (which is pretty much surrounded by trees and stuff) at around 11 pm. This song was creeping me out.....some advice: Do not listen to this song while high as fuck at 11 pm while walking around by yourself. Iron Maiden ftw | Reviewer: Sunbeat | 11/21/08 The band Iron Maiden is the best band i think! they have the best vocals ... the best guitarists Adrian Smith and Dave Murray, oki and about bass and drums ... Steve Harris and my favor drumer.. Nicko Mac Brain ...! Best Band Ever | Reviewer: Alex Chomy | 8/13/08 Iron Maiden are like the greatest band in history(in my opinion) to Iron Chuck, that insight to the influence of the song was very interesting...i looked it up on wiki aswell, good stuff....cheers buddy. Love this album, deffo one of their greater ones UP THE IRONS!!! and Rock On guys and girls PLease refer to wikki | Reviewer: Iron Chuck | 1/26/08 You guys should refer to wikkipedia about Dance of death. This Idea was brough fom the 13th century. Its about The common destiny we all share despite our social "grade" Kings, popes, priests, peasants dance the macabre dance of death. I a way, no matter how great you think you are or how inferior you think you are, there is something superior to us and unite us in a divine way. Death, or more precisely, eternal life. In this song we get the point of view of an ordinary man who fears death & he is sure that the lifless figures "ascended from hell" or in other words, that death is a diabolic thing. There is a message in that song that suggest :death should not be feared It is reinforced with this sentence "but some how the blaze of the fire did no hurt upon me,as I walked onto the coals." Intresting thing, the caracter experience a seperation of the spirit from his body "As I danced with the dead my free spirit was laughing and howling down at me.Below my undead body,just danced the circle of death." your body may look dead but you soul is eternal an can still experience emotions..in this case laughter (note; same thing happens when we sleep. the body lies in bed resting but emotions goes on, fear, joy...etc . It reminds me of another great song -Heaven can wait (somwhere in time album). Bruce sings on the hole album | Reviewer: Beorn | 1/23/08 Some of you said that Bruce don't appear on the Dance of Death - album.. This is wrong! He's been the vocalist since his debut in 82 with The Number of the Beast.. Anyhow, I think these lyrics hide a agenda, but we're not seeing it clear.. The lyrics tells about a man who is more or less seduced by the dead (the devil - who is often synonymous to sin). Maybe Steve Harris is telling a story where a man get's to choose between godd and bad? I have many other possible meanings.. That's why these lyrics are so great! maiden is maiden | Reviewer: shiva kishore singh | 1/1/08 guys guys whatever u think of this comment, i love iron maiden like crazy and they deserve it, especially dance of the death lyrics is awesome in its class of gothic style of band,and ofcourse brue dickinson u r mind blowing lol, whenever i listen to this song it takes me to the land of black magics's fantasies,,,,, so steve harris thanks a lot 4 co-ordinating the song,...
