    I'm Native (Navajo Tribe) and I love this song. Paints a true picture of the atrocities committed by both sides of the Indian Wars. Ironic though that when Natives were sent to school they were forced to give up their language but when WWII came a code was developed using Navajo and a few other languages. This code was instrumental in the US winning the war. Watch the movie "Code Talkers" to get a sense of what happened. It's not 100% accurate but it's close. My uncle was one of the Navajo Code Talkers.

    Iron Maiden are an educational band. They write songs about history, classic literature, and mythology. I used to sit and research Maiden songs in an encyclopedia and I would get books from the library on the subjects they sing about. I learned more from Maiden than I learned in high school. The lyrics in Run to the Hills are dark because the story is real. Maiden makes you think. You should check out Ryme of the Ancient Mariner and also read the original poem for yourself. You'll love it because it plays out like a killer horror movie and the poem was written back in the 1400s!

    The important thing to know about songs like these is that just because they're about historical atrocities like these, it doesn't mean they are supporting them. Most of the time, it's calling out the atrocities for their evil.
    This song is simply about the colonisation of America by Europeans and the Indian wars between the Native Americans and the American Cavalry. The song switches between the perspectives of both.

    Steve Harris (bass) of Iron Maiden wrote 'Run to the hills' from the perspective from BOTH the native Americans and the 'cowboys' fighting each other in America... the video used old silent comedy movies of Buster Keaton.
    The single 'Run to the hills' was a huge success for Maiden in 1982, cos it introduced a new singer Bruce Dickinson, who replaced the previous singer Paul Di'Anno after 2 albums... Iron Maiden had some success, but by 1981, they couldn't carry on w/ Di'Anno as their vocalist AND they were out of songs!
    So they recruited Samson vocalist Bruce Dickinson and had to write a new album as well... that became their 3rd album 'The number of the beast' in 1982... They wanted a single out to introduce Dickinson as their new singer & picked 'Run to the hills' also to promote a European tour... The single was a hit in Europe and the album went to #1 on the UK charts and was a huge hit in the US, Asia and Australia.

    This was one of the first songs that really brought that dark part of history to the forefront, The first half is the Native perspective and the second half is the Invaders perspective. Sadly the genocide still continues because of religion. They are digging up thousands of graves of Native children who were sent into the Catholic school system to never return home. It is because of atrocities like this that proves Mankind's only hope is extinction. Every other life form deserves to survive before Us.

    This song came out when I was 11, now I'm 50. Bruce's voice is four octave and it is awesome to see younger people checking it out and loving it. Iron Maiden has always been about anti war and anti hate, they sing these songs so younger generations don't lose sight that this world progressed by other people's misery at the hands of evil. I appreciate you young man and when I was your age even though I was a metal head I loved Run DMC and the Beastie Boys.

      There is no comparison to Iron Maiden and rap. Iron Maiden are musicians and Bruce is a singer. Real instruments are being played. This is music. Rap is in no way anywhere near the caliber of this music or any other music. The only connection between rap and real music is rap samples many rock songs. So if you ever hear good music being sampled in a rap song, rest assured the rapper did not have any part of the creation of it.

Elton John didn't write his own lyrics; Bernie Taupin did. Meatloaf didn't write his songs; Jim Steinman did. Geddy Lee didn't write the lyrics to Rush's later stuff; Neil Peart did.

    Hey JoJo..great reaction! For this song...You definitely need to read the lyrics. It is a heavy song...despite how lit it is. "White man came across the sea. He brought us pain and misery.(Meaning: Indigenous American's/Native American's-the rightful inhabitants of this land). They killed our tribes, they killed our creed. He took our game for his own need......& so on.... Worth a re-listen..perhaps with a lyric video. I was lucky enough to see Iron Maiden twice in concert. Once in high school..I was 15. They played with Anthrax. Then again when I was 24. They played with Judas Priest & Queensryche. On our way in to the concert...I was stopped by a roadie or security for Iron Maiden (idk?) & asked if I wanted to be on stage during the show for a particular song (forget which one..haha I'm getting old, lol) I'd join a few other women that were also asked and we'd have to wear white togas and surround Bruce who was in a cage all while groping at the cage, haha... as if adoring him like he was a God...it was hilarious, but awesome, tbh. Silly me decided against it. Didn't want to leave my friends and I was too darn shy to be on stage groping at the very famous Bruce Dickinson in front of a huge audience of strangers. No way! LOL I somewhat regret it, honestly. Nonetheless...I had a great time & was super flattered they even asked me & thought I was attractive enough to be on stage groping at Bruce Dickinson (I was young and more attractive than I realized at the time..& I did look damn hot that night..now that I think about it, haha)! I could have been backstage and probtably could have met them all..maybe even Rob Halford & Geoff Tate,,,as well as the other very talented band members. ::SIGH:: Cool memory to look back on, even though I chose to watch the concert from the audience with friends. Was a Fantastic show with 3 incredibly talented vocalists in metal~ : )
