Killers Lyrics - Iron Maiden
Review The Song (3)
(Paul Di'Anno, Steve Harris)
You walk through the subway, his eyes burn a hole in your back,
A footstep behind you, he lunges prepared for attack.
Scream for mercy, he laughs as he's watching you bleed,
Killer behind you, his blood lust defies all his needs.
My innocent victims are slaughtered with wrath and despise,
The mocking religion of hatred that burns in the night.
I have no one, I'm bound to destroy all this greed,
A voice inside me compelling to satisfy me.
I can see what a life's meant to be,
And you'll never know how I came to forsee, see, see.
My faith in believing is stronger than lifelines and ties,
With the glimmer of metal my moment is ready to strike.
Death call arises, a scream breaks the still of the night,
Another tomorrow, remember to walk in the light!
I have found you, and now there is no place to run,
Excitement shakes me, oh God help me what have I done?!
Oooh yeah, I've done it!
AGAIIN!
You walk through the subway, my eyes burn a hole in your back,
A footstep behind you, he lunges prepared for attack.
Scream for mercy, he laughs as he's watching you bleed,
Killer behind you, my blood lust defies all my needs.
Oooh look out, I'm coming for you!
Ahahahaha!
You walk through the subway, his eyes burn a hole in your back,
A footstep behind you, he lunges prepared for attack.
Scream for mercy, he laughs as he's watching you bleed,
Killer behind you, his blood lust defies all his needs.
My innocent victims are slaughtered with wrath and despise,
The mocking religion of hatred that burns in the night.
I have no one, I'm bound to destroy all this greed,
A voice inside me compelling to satisfy me.
I can see what a life's meant to be,
And you'll never know how I came to forsee, see, see.
My faith in believing is stronger than lifelines and ties,
With the glimmer of metal my moment is ready to strike.
Death call arises, a scream breaks the still of the night,
Another tomorrow, remember to walk in the light!
I have found you, and now there is no place to run,
Excitement shakes me, oh God help me what have I done?!
Oooh yeah, I've done it!
AGAIIN!
You walk through the subway, my eyes burn a hole in your back,
A footstep behind you, he lunges prepared for attack.
Scream for mercy, he laughs as he's watching you bleed,
Killer behind you, my blood lust defies all my needs.
Oooh look out, I'm coming for you!
Ahahahaha!

killer | Reviewer: Rich P. | 5/10/13
A great song from the final studio album with dianno.great riffs great drums great vocals. to me i prefer the rawness of diannos voice verus bruces. this time period they were developing there sound and it shows. unfortunately dianno was becoming a heavy drinker and his voice was suffering from it.
His range was becoming more limited. This final lp with dianno is a great farewell to the original lineup.
killer song! | Reviewer: Anonymous | 12/14/11
Awesome lyrics, one hell of an epic song, iron maiden never dissapoint with their music. Paul's voice is sooooo fitting and shines on the whole record and although i love bruce, those first two albums couldn't have been sung by anyone else:)
Alternate version | Reviewer: Senyor JMEZ | 4/5/11
Awesome lyrics but listening to the Eddies archive version (Reading Festival, 1980) Paul sings completely different lyrics stating it's about what they used to get up to as kids. Does anybody know where I can find those lyrics?
