Speed of Light - Iron Maiden

Another time, another place

A hollow universe in space

I took a trip to see the sights

I will be blacker than the night

One way ticket, no return

My shootin' star so fast it burns

On the edge that you can’t see

Let’s shoot the moon, you and me

I’m not particular you see

Just a lonesome galaxy

Shadows in the stars

We will not return

Humanity won’t save us

At the speed of light

Shadows in the stars

We will not return

Humanity won’t save us

We slip into the night

I’ll say a mass for you and wave

Shootin' plasma from my grave

Event horizon lost in space

Runnin' in a human race

I don’t know where I don’t know when

But somehow back there time again

I’m on the edge that you can’t see

I’m not particular at night

A single particle of me

You won’t be tracking me by sight

Shadows in the stars

We will not return

Humanity won’t save us

At the speed of light

Shadows in the stars

We will not return

Humanity won’t save us

We slip into the night

Shadows in the stars

We will not return

Humanity won’t save us

At the speed of light

Shadows in the stars

We will not return

Humanity won’t save us

We slip into the night

Shadows in the stars

We will not return

Humanity won’t save us

At the speed of light

Shadows in the stars

We will not return

Humanity won’t save us

We slip into the night

Shadows in the stars

We will not return

Humanity won’t save us

At the speed of light

Shadows in the stars

We will not return

Humanity won’t save us

We slip into the night
