stranger in a strange land

  1. iron maiden'in 1986 tarihli somewhere in time albümünün 6. şarkısı. robert a. heinlein'in aynı isimli romanı ile alakası yoktur, bir kutup kaşifinin buzullarda donması ve yüz yıl sonra bulunması ile ilgili bir hikaye anlatılır. bass introsu güzeldir, sözleri ise şöyledir;

    was many years ago that i left home and came this way,
    i was a young man full of hopes and dreams,
    but now it seems to me that all is lost and nothing gained,
    sometimes things ain't what they seem,
    no brave new world, no brave new world,
    no brave new world, no brave new world.

    night and day i scan horizon, sea and sky,
    my spirit wanders endlessly,
    until the day will dawn and friends from home discover why,
    hear me calling, rescue me,
    set me free, set me free,
    lost in this place and leave no trace.

    chorus:
    stranger in a strange land,
    land of ice and snow,
    trapped here in this prison, yeah!
    lost and far from home.

    one hundred years have gone and men again they came that way,
    to find the answer to the mystery,
    they found his body lying where it fell on that day,
    preserved in time for all to see,
    no brave new world, no brave new world,
    lost in this place, and leave no trace.

    chorus:
    stranger in a strange land,
    land of ice and snow,
    trapped here in this prison, yeah!
    lost and far from home.

    what became of the man that started
    all are gone and their souls departed
    left me here in this place so all alone

    stranger in a strange land,land of ice and snow,
    trapped here in this prison, lost and far from home.
    stranger in a strange land,land of ice and snow,
    trapped here in this prison, lost and far from home.
    stranger in a strange land,land of ice and snow,
    trapped here in this prison, lost and far from home.
