shadows of the valley

• ıntrosunun aşırı şekilde wasted years'ın introsuna benzediği şarkı. (bkz: oldu mu şimdi)
• sözlerini de yazayım tam olsun:
  
  wandering aimlessly in a cold dark mist i follow
  walking in a dark world that’s been
  kissed with sadness
  without sunlight things are born
  to the dead of nightmares
  soulless demons laughing in a sea of madness
  
  listen closely to the raven’s call
  praying hard for our world not to end
  try as might to make sense of it all
  will it be for the penance of men
  follow north for the call of the wild
  look all out for a small wayward child
  lay in fear as the dark raven crows
  look for guidance from the one who knows
  he lived on this earth for a time and a half
  playing a tune to the old man’s laugh
  the fear that’s inside the men of the oath
  in the script of the book that he wrote
  
  ask them the questions
  tell them no lies
  a cry for freedom
  praying that they wouldn’t die
  mind over matter
  cry over sins
  their lives are over now
  ended before they begin
  
  as the raven again passes by
  i can hear all the wake fathers cry
  that the first born of all men will die
  that their lives will be taken from them
  face the danger a battle of wills
  strength and courage a cure for all ills
  we believe in that thou shall not kill
  but others are ready to spill
  the hearts of all men since beginning of time
  living with temptation
  wanting and crime
  a walk in the shadow of the valley of death
  knowing ı’ll take my last breath
  
  ask them the questions
  tell them no lies
  a cry for freedom
  praying that they wouldn’t die
  mind over matter
  cry over sins
  their lives are over now
  ended before they begin
  
  the hearts of all men since beginning of time
  living with temptation
  wanting and crime
  a walk in the shadow of the valley of death
  knowing ı’ll take my last breath
  
  ask them the questions
  tell them no lies
  a cry for freedom
  praying that they wouldn’t die
  mind over matter
  cry over sins
  their lives are over now
  ended before they begin
  
  into the valley of death fear no evil
  we will go forward no matter the cost
  ınto the valley of death follow me now
  bring me your souls and ı’ll make it our last
  
  ask them the questions
  tell them no lies
  a cry for freedom
  praying that they wouldn’t die
  mind over matter, cry over sins
  their lives are over now
  ended before they begin
• albümün en iyilerinden biri. book of souls, bütün olarak alışılagelmiş, doğu ezgileri taşıyan maidenesque melodiler bakımından fakir gibi geliyor ilk başta fakat bu kısırlık değil. maiden biraz değişik bir şeyler denemiş. harmanlanmış melodiler var bu kez. tam anlatamadım. bi kaç ay daha dinleyeyim hele.
• wasted years gibi baslayip fallen angel gibi devam eden yeni albumun en iyi parcalarindan. janick sololarda ustaligini konusturmus yine ve neden iyi bir besteci oldugunu gostermis bir kez daha. konserlerde banko calinacaktir.
• konserlerde marş gibi söylenecek, seyirciyi delirtecek. demişti dersiniz.
• setlistte olmaması şaşırtmıştır
