Iron Maiden - Stratego [Single]

Lyrics to Stratego [Single] by Iron Maiden

[Verse 1] How do you read a madman's mind? Teach me the art of war For I shall bring more than you bargained for Give me an ultimatum That I could not dream of Spills of a crying nation upon my soul [Pre-Chorus 1] For I have not a mortal soul That you already know Look at my eyes There’s no surprise [Chorus] Ocean is black, the devil's track Looking beyond beneath the sea Eye of the storm is here again Been there before you were ever born Beyond the dark, I feel the pain It's hidden but I can’t explain A cross to bear, a heavy faith My sorrow whispers time again [Post-Chorus] I hear you calling my name Come to claim my life again Pray for me I'm almost there The pain almost too much to bear [Verse 2] I try to find my way back home To feel the same again The voice of nothing listened far too long Little by little eat away I think I've lost my mind Too late to change now what I left behind [Pre-Chorus 2] Hear me, listen my call I am ready to fall Lord hear me now Let me go [Guitar Solo: Janick Gers] [Chorus] Ocean is black, the devil's track Looking beyond beneath the sea Eye of the storm is here again Been there before you were ever born Beyond the dark, I feel the pain It's hidden but I can't explain A cross to bear, a heavy faith My sorrow whispers time again
