Текст песни Empire of the Clouds - Iron Maiden
To
ride
the
storm
to
an
empire
of
the
clouds
To
ride
the
storm
they
climbed
aboard
their
silver
ghost
To
ride
the
storm
to
a
kingdom
that
will
come
To
ride
the
storm
and
damn
the
rest...
oblivion
Royalty
and
dignitaries
brandy
and
cigars
Grey
lady
giant
of
the
skies
You
hold
them
in
your
arms
The
millionth
chance
they
laughed
To
take
down
His
Majesty's
craft
To
India
they
say,
magic
carpet
float
away
An
October
fateful
day...
Mist
is
in
the
trees
Stone
sweats
with
the
dew
The
morning
sunrise
red
before
the
blue
Hanging
at
the
mast
Waiting
for
command
His
Majesty's
Airship,
the
R101
She's
the
biggest
vessel
built
by
man,
a
giant
of
the
skies
For
all
you
unbelievers
the
Titanic
fits
inside
Drum
roll
tight
her
canvas
skin
silvered
in
the
sun
Never
tested
with
the
fury
with
the
beating
yet
to
come
The
fury
yet
to
come
In
the
gathering
gloom
the
storm
rising
in
the
west
The
coxswain
stared
into
the
plunging
weather
glass
We
must
go
now
We
must
take
our
chance
with
fate
We
must
go
now
For
a
politician,
he
can't
be
late
The
airship
crew
awake
for
thirty
hours
at
full
stretch
But
the
ship
is
in
their
backbone
Every
sinew
every
inch
She
never
flew
at
full
speed
A
trial
never
done
Her
fragile
outer
cover
Her
achilles
would
become
An
achilles
yet
to
come
Sailors
of
the
sky
A
hardened
breed
Loyal
to
the
king
and
an
airship
creed
The
engines
drum
The
telegraph
sounds
Release
the
cords
that
bind
us
to
the
ground
Said
the
coxswain
"Sir,
she's
heavy"
"She'll
never
make
this
flight"
Said
the
captain
"Damn
the
cargo"
"We'll
be
on
our
way
tonight"
Groundlings
cheered
in
wonder
As
she
backed
off
from
the
mast
Baptizing
them
her
water
From
the
ballast
fore
and
aft
Now
she
slips
into
our
past
Fighting
the
wind
as
it
rolls
you
Feeling
the
diesels
that
push
you
along
Watching
the
channel
below
you
Lower
and
lower
into
the
night
Lights
are
passing
below
you
Northern
France
asleep
in
their
beds
Storm
is
raging
around
you
A
million
to
one,
that's
what
he
said
Reaper
standing
beside
her
With
his
scythe
cuts
to
the
bone
Panic
to
make
a
decision
Experienced
men
asleep
in
their
graves
Her
cover
is
ripped
and
she's
drowning
Rain
is
flooding
into
the
hull
Bleeding
to
death
and
she's
falling
Lifting
gas
is
draining
away
"We're
down
lads"
came
the
cry
Bow
plunging
from
the
sky
Three
thousand
horses
silent
as
the
ship
began
to
die
The
flares
to
guide
her
path
ignited
at
the
last
The
empire
of
the
clouds
just
ashes
in
our
past
Just
ashes
at
the
last
Here
lie
their
dreams
as
I
stand
in
the
sun
On
the
ground
where
they
built
And
the
engines
did
run
To
the
moon
and
the
stars
Now
what
have
we
done
Oh
the
dreamers
may
die
but
the
dreams
live
on
Dreams
live
on...
Dreams
live
on...
Now
a
shadow
on
a
hill
The
angel
of
the
east
The
empire
of
the
clouds
may
rest
in
peace
And
in
a
country
churchyard
Laid
head
to
the
mast
Eight
and
forty
souls
Who
came
to
die
in
France
