Text: Iron Maiden. A Matter Of Life And Death. Out Of the Shadows.

Hold a halo 'round the world, golden is the day
Princes of the universe, your burden is the way
So there is no better time, who will be born today?
A gypsy child at daybreak, a king for a day

Out of the shadow and into the sun
Dreams of the past as the old ways are done
Oh, there is beauty and surely there is pain
But we must endure it to live again

Dusty dreams in fading daylight, flicker on the walls
Nothing new, your life's adrift, what purpose to it all?
Eyes are closed and death is calling, reaching out its hand
Call upon the starlight to surround you

Out of the shadow and into the sun
Dreams of the past as the old ways are done
Oh, there is beauty and surely there is pain
But we must endure it to live again

Out of the shadow and into the sun
Dreams of the past as the old ways are done
Oh, there is beauty and surely there is pain
But we must endure it to live again

Out of the shadow and into the sun
Dreams of the past as the old ways are done
Oh, there is beauty and surely there is pain
But we must endure it to live again

Out of the shadow and into the sun
Dreams of the past as the old ways are done
Oh, there is beauty and surely there is pain
But we must endure it to live again

A man who casts no shadow has no soul
