    This song was the last song my dad showed me before his cancer took over so it has a very special place in my heart. I'm so glad Bruce won against cancer and still makes amazing songs.

      They do have some kind of mainstream songs and the newer stuff is a lot more progressive than in the 80s, but that only makes them better that they could do all that and only have a few songs that aren’t amazing.

    Here are the lyrics if you want to
    Another time, another place
    A hollow universe in space
    I took a trip to see the sights
    That will be black over a night
    One way ticket now returned
    My shootin' stars are vastly burnt
    On the edge that we can't see
    Let's shot the moon, you and me
    And that particular you'll see
    A just too 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're slippin' through 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 why
    But somehow back in time again
    I'm on the edge you can't see
    Another take your love at night
    A single party call on me
    You won't be trackin' 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're slippin' through 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
    At the speed of light
    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
    At the speed of light

    I've already listened to the whole 'Book of Souls' album. It's almost on par with most of their '80s work and just as good if not better than their post-2000 releases. What many people on here seem to forget is that Iron Maiden is ever-evolving their sound and never sticking exclusively to formula, which is what great bands usually aspire to do as they naturally grow older and more experienced in life. Those guys really have nothing left to prove to anybody at this point in their careers except only themselves and I must say after hearing their newest album as well as the one that preceded it ('The Final Frontier') they still aren't going to fade away without putting up one hell of a fight! In Bruce Dickinson's case, his recent battle with throat cancer is proof enough of that.
    Btw, this is NOT one of the very best songs on the album either! Check out the rest of this "book" to find out which ones clearly are if you still have ears to listen with. I am diggin' the video though. Eddie traveling through the ages in VG style much like the band has done musically up to now...

      thanks man, I don't like to compare albums because they're always trying to do something different sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't compare fear of the dark (heavier and darker) to powerslave (power metal I think it is) and then no prayer for the dying (which was hated and I'll agree wasn't my favouritealbum, but had a few gems :D

    • @edwardmorris3610
      @edwardmorris3610 9 років тому

      ***** Seeing as the album boasts some really long songs, following suite of what final frontier did,i think its safe to say that this album is gonna be a lot less straight forward and snappy like Iron maiden 80s era.
      Its a good song to hold us over until the rest of the album comes out i think,though i think emotions are high considering the time of day and the lack of material for 5 years. So people should just let it sit before we come to any conclusions.

      That video is gorgeous and fits great with the song. That psychedelic part of the song (music electric guitar in sequence, omnipresent in the song) seems just made to give a modern voice to the videogames than once. And it goes well with the final part of the same game transposed to our days's 3d! I must say that my initial feeling on the piece was absolutely out of the way and unripe. This piece is fantastic, the vocals are excellent and not by immediate sensations because it is very complex. It must be heard a little 'more, and you will realize what actually Bruce is in top form, indeed even better than the last 4 albums! I will tell you, this song, despite having ties with the last Maiden, it's bursting 80's Maiden from every pore! And if this is just the appetizer, guys, get ready to a megadinner with slaps for September 4th!

    Even though the song is a bit underwhelming, we have to bear in mind that Maiden doesn't usually leak their strongest stuff first. Remember 5 years ago, the first song they leaked off The Final Frontier was "El Dorado," a similarly underwhelming song. The album didn't let anybody down at all though. So let's all just wait for Sept 4, before we start judging our guys too harshly.

    This tune is capable of showing us how brutal Maiden's musical production has always been, still is and will be forever and ever. Let's remember that the band has been present in our lives for almost five decades, and with gigs like this one, they still let us know that they are one of the best hard rock bands the world has ever known.

    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 returns
    My shooting star so fast it burnt
    On the edge that you can see
    Let's shoot the moon you and me
    I'm not particular you'll 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
    Shooting plasma from my grave
    Event horizon lost in space
    Running in a human race
    I don't know where I don't know why
    But somehow back in time again
    I'm on the edge that you can 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
    At the speed of light
    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
    At the speed of light
    We slip into the night

    It's awesome how Maiden developed their trademark sound, music and keep the same energy as many years ago. I'm so happy they don't try to copy their old albums, but instead their creativity takes every new stuff to a whole different level while staying true to their distinctive sound. The whole album is fantastic, their talent for writing music is insane, and this song is an absolutely great tune in style of classic bangers but with modern approach. Up the Irons!
