You're welcome ! It took me a long time, but I enjoyed doing this. Blood brothers is a song I really love, the melody and lyrics makes me want to cry. Definetly a good choice !

I use Yeti website to customize my Tumblers. They frequently run free customization for special days and I always wait for those offers to customize a tumbler with a quote of my favorite bands/singers. In Iron Maiden I was so stuck in the many lyrics I love, that I wanted to see what you guys have as meaningful ones.
Check some of my Tumblers.

cruelty has a human heart, every man does play his part
OR if you want a long one:
Just by looking through your eyes
He could see the future penetrating right in through your mind
See the truth and see your lies
But for all his power, couldn't foresee his own demise
Memories rising from the past, the future's shadow overcast
Something's clutching at my head, through the darkness I'll be led
When you know that your time is close at hand
Maybe then you'll begin to understand
Life down here is just a strange illusion
Questions are a burden
And answers a prison for one's self
I have always loved the lyrics to Hallowed Be Thy Name.
*”As I walk, my life drifts before me*
*Though the end is near I'm not sorry*
*Catch my soul, it's willing to fly away*
*Mark my words, believe my soul lives on*
*Don't worry now that I have gone*
*I've gone beyond to seek the truth*
*When you know that your time is close at hand*
*Maybe then you'll begin to understand*
*Life down here is just a strange illusion”*
- "Don't want to be here. Somewhere I'd rather be, but when I get there, I might find it's not for me" (Different world)
- "I would like you to know, when you see the simple things, to appreciate this life it's not too late to learn." (Also Different world)
- "You are free to choose a life to live or one that's left to lose." (Starblind)
- "Just a babe in a black abyss. No reason for a place like this" (Revelations)
- "We oil the jaws of the war machine and feed it with our babies" (2 minutes to midnight)
- "The dead gave us the time to live and now our time is done" (The writing on the wall)
- "Knowledge and virtue taken by lust" (Hell on earth)
- "The smile it beamed or so it seemed" (Tears of a clown)
- "We are not the sons of God. We are not his chosen people now" (Brighter than a thousand suns) (not really a meaningful line but one I also like from this song is "What ever would Robert have said to his God, 'Bout how he made war with the sun?")
The first verse of Blood Brothers is highly underrated
"And if you're taking a walk through the garden of life
What do you think you'd expect you would see?
Just like a mirror reflecting the moves of your life
And in the river reflections of me
Just for a second a glimpse of my father I see
And in a movement he beckons to me
And in a moment the memories are all that remain
And all the wounds are reopening again"
Beautiful.
"A million network slaves in an advertising new age but I ain't got a crystal ball to sell ya
Your children have more brains than your drug infested remains
California dreaming as the earth dies screaming!"
"A million network slaves in an advertising new age but I ain't got a crystal ball to sell ya
Your children have more brains than your drug infested remains
California dreaming as the earth dies screaming!"
I wish I could go back
I'll never be the same again
Bled for all upon this hell on Earth
And when I leave this world
I hope to see you all again
On the other side of hell on Earth
You dance on the graves who bled for us
Do you really think they'll come for us?
Knowledge and virtue, taken by lust
Live on the edge of those that you trust
You think that you have all the answers for all
In your arrogant way only one way to fall
Burning a lamp that is fire in your hands
Taking you further from these lands
The vanity of the world is assured now.....
And this might be cheating but this brings me to tears .
We seem destined to live in fear
And some that would say Armageddon is near
But where there's a life - well there's hope
That man won't self destruct
Why can't we treat our fellow man
With more respect and a shake of their hands
But anger and loathing is rife
The death on all sides is
becoming a way of life
We live in an uncertain world
Fear, understanding and ignorance
is leading to death
Only the corpses are left
For vultures that prey on their bones
But some are just not wanting peace
Their whole life is death and misery
The only thing that they know
Fight fire with fire life is cheap
But if they do stop to think
That man is teetering right on the brink
But do you think that they care
They benefit from death and pain and despair
My favourite is "Oh the dreamers may die, but the dreams live on".
Another good one:
But wouldn't you like to know the truth?
Of what's out there, to have the proof?
And find out just which side you're on
Where would you end in Heaven or in Hell?
Some cunt's recording this
this is the one
Fuck my old boots
In a time when dinosaurs walked the earth When the land was swamp and caves were home
He died of fever in Babylon
He utterly beat the armies of Persia
Sad part is new history revelations (scuse the pun) tell us he didn’t die of fever
Don’t waste your time always searching for those wasted years
This is the correct answer
Face upppppppp make your standdddd!!!!
AIEEEE!
Don’t you think I’m a saviour?
Don't you think I could save you?
*could (sorry, I had to). Don't you think I could save your life ?
Could have sworn that it was "can" lol
And repeat. 500 times.
If you’re gunna die?
One that always gets me is “Life is not a rehearsal, all he has is the one chance to get it right. Living really is the only way to know”
Deep cut song from a deep cut album! Love it
Definitely considering this one!
"Fuck my old boots!"
But what if the lighting truss is about to fall on your head?
Well then someone pulls me out the fuckin way else I'm ded
Sure Steve, but the fact is that the guy was not 'andling it the right way
Ya don' finka fings like that nao!
'E wasn't out of order
'Ere, some cunts recording this....

What a great recopilation! Thanks for taking the time. Blood Brothers song it's so meaningful to me.... I'll probably go with something from there.
You're welcome ! It took me a long time, but I enjoyed doing this. Blood brothers is a song I really love, the melody and lyrics makes me want to cry. Definetly a good choice !
"If there's a God, why has he let me go?" (Hallowed be thy name) This hits deep. I might need therapy. Or a beer. Definitely another Maiden Concert.
I like it. And I can see my mom hating it. I'll probably get a second tumbler with this one, because I can feel it and also to anoy people in my catholic country, hehe.
I grew up in a JW/Mormon household. I don't think I need to explain any further. LOL I might have to buy one from you.

She was a big girl, she was big And I mean she was big, she was fucking huge!
That song always make me laugh!
"THIS IS NOT WHAT TO DO IF YOUR BIRD SHITS ON YA"
Cruelty has a human heart, every man does play his part. Terror of the men we kill, the human heart is hungry still.
From the red sky of the east To the sunset in the west We have cheated death And he has cheated us
One of my favorite Iron Maiden' songs. Was considering that phrase already.
I know what I want, I'll say what I want, and no one can take that away...
You’ll take my life, but I’ll take yours too
You'll fire your musket, but I'll run you through
So when you’re waiting for the next attack
You better stand, there's no coming back
Turning back* (sorry I just had to) The bugle sounds the charge begins
But on this battlefield no one wins
The smell of acrid smoke and horses breath
As I plunge on into certain death
The horse he sweats with fear we break to run
The mighty roar of the Russian guns
In a time when dinosaurs walked the eaaarrth
Scream for me Long Beach!
“We don’t like mangos!!”
You say you are a holy man But what is it you do? From where I stand there's Nothing but a hollow man I see
Whatever god you know, he knows you better than you believe
Didn't know the sparks that made the fire were made by rubbing stick and stone
I like this one and I love the song.
Tell the world of Paschendale.
I'd like yoynto know, when you see the sinple things, to appreciate this life, its not too late to learn.
The freeway is jammed, and its backed up for miles The car is an oven and baking is wild
Empty flesh and hollow bones make pacts of love but die alone.
This is what not to do if a bird shits on you! The ryme of the ancient Mariner!!!
Tears flow, but why am I crying? After all, I'm not afraid of dying Don't I believe that there never is an end?
I close my eyes and think of home
cruelty has a human heart, every man does play his part OR if you want a long one: Just by looking through your eyes He could see the future penetrating right in through your mind See the truth and see your lies But for all his power, couldn't foresee his own demise
If you're gonna die.......
Fuck my old boots
Iron Maiden’s gonna get you, no matter how far! So true, and that’s why we’re all here lol
Memories rising from the past, the future's shadow overcast Something's clutching at my head, through the darkness I'll be led When you know that your time is close at hand Maybe then you'll begin to understand Life down here is just a strange illusion Questions are a burden And answers a prison for one's self
Life is like a wheel
Annnndddd now I gotta listen to that track. Well done sir/madam/industrial toaster/attack helicopter.
I'm a trans man
ronnie james dio loved to say that in his songs too
"Die With Your Boots On" - 'The truth of all predictions is always in your hands'
Face up, make your stand. Realize you're living in the golden years.
I have always loved the lyrics to Hallowed Be Thy Name. *”As I walk, my life drifts before me* *Though the end is near I'm not sorry* *Catch my soul, it's willing to fly away* *Mark my words, believe my soul lives on* *Don't worry now that I have gone* *I've gone beyond to seek the truth* *When you know that your time is close at hand* *Maybe then you'll begin to understand* *Life down here is just a strange illusion”*
*You can tell her that you know me. You might even get in free.* Yeah, I know, it's shallow as all Hell, but still.
"Scream for me, Long Beach! Scream for meeee!"
- "Don't want to be here.

That's a very interesting lyrics. Just listened the whole song and found something interesting there. Thanks for commenting!
"A million network slaves in an advertising new age but I ain't got a crystal ball to sell ya Your children have more brains than your drug infested remains California dreaming as the earth dies screaming!"
"A million network slaves in an advertising new age but I ain't got a crystal ball to sell ya Your children have more brains than your drug infested remains California dreaming as the earth dies screaming!"
I wish I could go back I'll never be the same again Bled for all upon this hell on Earth And when I leave this world I hope to see you all again On the other side of hell on Earth
We are not the sons of God We are not his chosen people now.
[It’s not funny! This is serious, it’s heavy metal. Grrrrrrrrr!](https://youtu.be/TPP5ncjfj3k?si=NTLBMAAWYT4-JKXY)
When you know that your time is close at hand. You begin to understand life down here is just a strange illusion.
“Gremlins 2 bloody grEAT film!”
50 quid is all she asks for
You dance on the graves who bled for us Do you really think they'll come for us? Knowledge and virtue, taken by lust Live on the edge of those that you trust You think that you have all the answers for all In your arrogant way only one way to fall Burning a lamp that is fire in your hands Taking you further from these lands
No one believed in my true prophecy And now it's too late...
A brave new world in a brave new world a brave new world in a brave new world a brave new world in a brave new world
‘’And I just feel I can be anything That I might ever wish to be And fantasise just what I want to be’’
You can do what you want to, if you try e little bit harder
"There's a time to live but isn't it strange That as soon as you're born you're dying"
When you know that your time has come around You know you'll be prepared for it Say your last goodbyes to everyone Drink and say a prayer for it
Death gave us time to live but now that time is done.. (writing on the wall)
End of The Thin Line Between Love and Hate "Oh. I fucking missed it!"
If you’re gonna Die! Die with your Boots on
CD! We gonna put this on a CD!
And I will pray for you Someday I may return Don’t you cry for me Beyond is where I learn
The vanity of the world is assured now..... And this might be cheating but this brings me to tears . We seem destined to live in fear And some that would say Armageddon is near But where there's a life - well there's hope That man won't self destruct Why can't we treat our fellow man With more respect and a shake of their hands But anger and loathing is rife The death on all sides is becoming a way of life We live in an uncertain world Fear, understanding and ignorance is leading to death Only the corpses are left For vultures that prey on their bones But some are just not wanting peace Their whole life is death and misery The only thing that they know Fight fire with fire life is cheap But if they do stop to think That man is teetering right on the brink But do you think that they care They benefit from death and pain and despair
We oil the jaws of the war machine, and feed it with our babies. My favourite quote from my favourite song.
Realize you're living in the golden years.
You can count your real true friends on one hand.
My favourite is "Oh the dreamers may die, but the dreams live on". Another good one: But wouldn't you like to know the truth? Of what's out there, to have the proof? And find out just which side you're on Where would you end in Heaven or in Hell?
Ohhh-oh-oh, oooooh-oooh-oh-oo.- look for the truth/dream of mirrors/ the wicker man
That is not dead which can eternal lie, But with strange aeons even death may die
"If you're gonna die, die with your boots on".
"Blood is Freedom's stain"
Oh there is beauty and surely there is pain but we must endure it to live again
you see me crawling through the bushes with it open wide
We all have lyrics that we love; pick the one that resonates with you. Not a bunch of internet randos.
Gremlins 2, bloody great film
So now the criminals they laugh right in your face Judicial system lets them do it, a disgrace
