Iron Maiden Face in the Sand song lyrics

Everybody's waiting for something to happen

Everybody's waiting for something to see

Lunatics waitin for bigger disasters

Everybody's waiting for news on TV

Winding lives at the end of the spiral

Waiting dictators with their next big thrill

Everyone's looking but no one is listening

Everybody wants to be in at the kill

I wait for the signs, they tell me true, I see the signs of the end time

Everybody's searching but nothing's revealing

Everyone's looking for the reason why

Everyone's hoping for life everafter

Everyone's looking at death from the sky

Everyone's nightmares are going to happen

Everybody's ripping the mask from their eyes

Everyone's praying but no one's believing

Everyone's heroes tell everyone's lies

I wait for the signs, they tell me true, I see the signs of the end time

So I watch and I wait, and I pray for an answer

An end to the strife and the world's misery, but the end never came

And we're digging the graves, and we're loading the guns for the kill

Can the end be at hand? Is the face in the sand?

Future memory of our tragedy

Can the end be at hand? Is the face in the sand?

Future memory of our tragedy

So I watch and I wait, and I pray for an answer

An end to the strife and the world's misery, but the end never came

And we're digging the graves, and we're loading the guns for the kill

Can the end be at hand? Is the face in the sand?

Future memory of our tragedy

Can the end be at hand? Is the face in the sand?

Future memory of our tragedy
