Lord Of The Flies Lyrics

Artist: Iron Maiden
Album: X Factor

I don't care for this world anymore
I just want to live my own fantasy
Fate has brought us to these shores
What was meant to be is now happening

I've found that I like this living in danger
Living on edge it makes feel as one
Who cares now what's right or wrong,
it's reality
Killing so we survive
Wherever we may roam
Wherever we may hide
We've got to get away

I don't want existence to end
We must prepare ourselves for the elements
I just want to feel like we're strong
We don't need a code of morality

I like all the mixed emotion and anger
It brings out the animal the power you can feel
And feeling so high on this much adrenalin
Excited but scary to believe what we've become

Saints and sinners
Something within us
We are lord of flies

Saints and sinners
Something willing us
To be lord of the flies

it has to do with the evil within mankind...if u read the book lord of the flies you will understand the song quite easily...

This song is nice and if you ever read the book the Lord of the Flies or seen or read the movie/book The Mist it really speaks of what happens if you take away rules and guidelines.

I think this song is telling people that it's time to get all selfish, evil and brutal to survive in this life. So he compared the human beings to flies...

It's about the book

by Some guy on 11/15/2008 10:35pm
"Lord of Flies" is sometimes used as a synonym for Satan. It would come from the Hebrew word Beelzebub.

by chris on 11/16/2008 8:47pm
Clearly about the book.

William Golding is a god amongst men.

Lof man

Wow, nobody knows anything unless they have been in Mr. Shank's 9th grade Enlglish class. This is completely about the id, ego, and super ego and the psychoanalytic theories. The book is filled with these concepts and so is this songs. People should read the book, and if you have, I highly reccomend looking up Sigmund Freud and his concepts and theories. It's amazing how many allusions there are and how much it relates.

by It is based on the SATAN on 5/4/2010 4:38am
as Belzebub iz litteraly translated to greek "Lord of the flies"...and the story is more or less similar to the revelations

by Haku Tatak on 8/28/2010 4:17pm
Excellent movie, haven't read the book yet. The Iron Maiden Lyrics has a strong proclaimation of how a human turns into wolf. Great! Many thanks to Sir William Golding who gifted a great story to the mankind.

one of the excelent piece of litreture. Degredation of human soul n animial instinct in present in everyhuman beings. Humans so called a "nobel beast". In times of adversity humans tends to be react worse than animals.

okay really? this song may be about the book, but the book sucked so instead of trying to analyze the lyrics or talk about your freaken ideas about Frued how about you up the irons and shut the fuck up about anything other than the song.

by Haku Tatak on 1/22/2011 5:02am
I thought I can�t pretend not to reply you since you�ve got this exasperating yet powerful combination of words forming a sentence to make a shriek of baby demanding attention. That�s good anyway but the book is good. Hmm the book lord of the flies is good the book Lord of the Flies by Sir William Golding is good � oh! Really it�s awesome and great. Thank you. P.S Please even if you have to use a better Titled fake ID.
