Dickinson, Bruce - Chemical Wedding Lyrics






How happy is the human soul
Not enslaved by dull control
Left to dream and roam and play
Shed the guilt of former days

Walking on the foggy shore
Watch the waves come rolling home
Through the veil of pale moonlight
My shadow stretches out its hand

And so we lay, we lay in the same grave

Our chemical wedding day

And so we lay, we lay in the same grave

Our chemical wedding day
Floating in the endless blue
My seed of doubt I leave to you
Let it wither on the ground
Treat it like a plague you found

All my dreams that were outside
In living colour, now alive
And all the lighthouses
Their beams converge to guide me home

And so we lay, we lay in the same grave

Our chemical wedding day

And so we lay, we lay in the same grave

Our chemical wedding day

And so we lay, we lay in the same grave

Our chemical wedding day

And so we lay, we lay in the same grave

Our chemical wedding day

And so we lay, we lay in the same grave

Our chemical wedding day

And so we lay, we lay in the same grave

Our Chemical wedding day

Dickinson, Bruce Chemical Wedding Comments
  1. R.... D....

    I like this semi-concept album. Take a cover picture of William Blake, just super. I also like the font for the name of the album, however, the font for the words of Bruce Dickinson I would have done in a slightly different style, more aggressive, but written in the cursive of course. It would be cool to have edition of that vinyl where the box is like a picture with a real frame around the edges.

    R.... D....

    great portray of esoteric teachings in a metal album.
    i truly hope that bruce deeply understood what he was singing about here.

    R.... D....

    @Djordje Simic Yes, of course, he's a fan of Blake. Dickinson even wrote the script for the film of the same name.

  2. J.... C....

    Great song! 🤘😎

  3. I.... O....

    "And so we lay ... "

  4. T.... H....

    I've heard Bruce Dickinson is making another solo album! Who's hype!?

  5. �.... �....

    супер!

  6. �.... �....

    What's a melody...

  7. M.... B....

    Capa sensacional do pintor ,escritor ,poeta William Blake, esse disco do Bruce Dickinson é sensacional .

  8. T.... K....

    Best song...best album!

  9. J.... S....

    Saudade Christian takahashi galdino. Essa musica lembra nossa amizade , vim matar a saudade. Deus esteja contigo e com todos que estao lendo.

  10. J.... G....

    I have my baby brother to thank for buying solo Bruce's cd's for me to listen to. I hadn't bought any solo Bruce's CD's once he left Maiden. I kinda figured he would maybe NOT be metal and I would HATE his solo stuff. BUT, my baby brother and his plentiful "disposable income" had purchased most or all of Bruce's solo stuff, and I got to listen to it and discovered that it was all really great stuff. I am about 12 years older than my baby brother, BUT, he had purchased all or almost all of Bruce's solo stuff, and I am happy that I got to hear it all and I LOVE it. When you get "older" you have LESS "disposable income" meaning, "Money to spend all willy nilly" you can buy stuff you WANT not just stuff you NEED.

  11. S.... M....

    It's a different kind of love song.

  12. M.... S....

    The album that would culminate in the maiden again with the original formation

  13. Y.... A....

    Heard this on a car ride to my fav restaurant, loved it!

  14. p.... r....

    bruce a cada musica se supera vocal sem igual .

  15. e.... k....

    Scream for me Sarajevo, legendary Bruce Dickinson

  16. E.... R....

    How can be Ozzy more famous than Dickinson??

    E.... R....

    @Θάνος Αλε You cant name two people and say theres no comparison. Unless they are identical twins there must be.

    E.... R....

    @Blackbrooke go and compare the banana with an apple which is more famous...
    Its just peoples taste... unique... Thats what i wanted to say

    E.... R....

    @Θάνος Αλε These arent apples and bananas, your analogy is false. They are two bands and two singers. Sabbath are clearly significantly better and Ozzy has a very distinctive voice which I prefer. Bruce is a great singer, no argument there. The question was "How can Ozzy be more famous than Bruce? Well its obvious, Sabbath are one of the best bands ever and invented the genre.

    E.... R....

    @Blackbrooke haha its your oponion on that...
    There are no question about who is more famous...
    They both are too much...
    Its your opinion man, that ozzy is or if he is better for you
    As i said they are unique you cant compare them and that is fact!!
    Two different styles of music can't compare its just taste...
    And for who is more famous is just your opinion

    E.... R....

    @Θάνος Αλε Ozzy is by far more famous, its the same type of music, its not my opinion its the universally held view.

  17. C.... A....

    The best BRUCE

  18. U.... ....

    Definitely prefer Bruce's solo stuff over Maiden!

  19. F.... P....

    Pure magic. AWESOME.

  20. M.... C....

    I'm trying to raise the volume of my cellphone above the limit, but I can't. I wish I could inject this song directly into my vein.

  21. C.... G....

    How happy is the human soul
    Not enslaved by dull control

    Walking on the foggy shore
    Watch the waves come rolling home
    Through the veil of pale moonlight
    My shadow stretches out its hand

    And so we lay, we lay in the same grave

    Our chemical wedding day

    And so we lay, we lay in the same grave

    Our chemical wedding day
    Floating in the endless blue
    My seed of doubt I leave to you
    Let it wither on the ground

    And so we lay, we lay in the same grave

    Our chemical wedding day

    And so we lay, we lay in the same grave

    Our chemical wedding day

    And so we lay, we lay in the same grave

    Our chemical wedding day

    And so we lay, we lay in the same grave

    Our chemical wedding day

    And so we lay, we lay in the same grave

    Our chemical wedding day

    And so we lay, we lay in the same grave

    Our Chemical wedding day

  22. P.... J....

    Power metal..

  23. k.... a....

    What a fantastic tune .

  24. B.... ....

    this album is so much better then anything maiden ever did.

  25. D.... D....

    GREAT 4 ever, regards...

  26. P.... P....

    Fazia tempo que não ouvia essa música, linda em vários aspectos. 😚😚

  27. C.... B....

    I broke up with my girlfriend the night I heard this song for the first time. I stopped at a gas station to think for awhile and the radio was on. This song started to play and I never heard it before so it sounded new. It was such a good song I nearly forgot about my girlfriend, later I found the song. Listened to it over and over again that night fighting through the pain. Won't ever forget that time.

    C.... B....

    Your real girl is waiting in the future dont look in the past do t regret nothing!!
    Just enjoy your life and girl will come
    You are the master of your life

  28. N.... ....

    My favorite Bruce solo album

  29. m.... ....

    this is a great album and without the maiden name on it. bruce is the heart of maiden. maiden with no bruce is nothing for me.

  30. T.... V....

    Essa musica é massa

    T.... V....

    Boa demais

  31. F.... F....

    vivi e som na minha adolecesia , faz viver de novo todas vezes que que escuto , que e bom e foda , me sinto unico! como todo ROKERO!

  32. T.... H....

    The 37 seven dislikes were from people that dont understand metal in any way. If you dont like it, dont listen to it.

  33. D.... W....

    There needs to be more mentions of RoyZ in the comments. Without RoyZs superb guitar and production work, it would not have been the great work we know.

  34. B.... C....

    prazer em escutar mai uma vez sempre

  35. y.... c....

    Obra maestra del gran Bruce

  36. S.... A....

    Como é que essa porra só tem 300 mil views

    S.... A....

    Era pra ter mais de 2 milhões, o rock mais foda de todos.

  37. J.... N....

    Who else thought this was Iron Maiden when they first herd it

    J.... N....

    Lord Vader It’s very easy to tell this isn’t Maiden.

    J.... N....

    Yeah the big fucking BRUCE DICKINSON at the top was what got me

  38. J.... G....

    Amazing is how the voice of bruce just cheers the soul up, care not about the subjet or topic of the song in question, is just an experience, thats why he is and ever will be the greatest heavy metal singer of all fucking time. I always wondered how godly this song would be if played by Iron Maiden lineup. Long live to the real metal god

  39. V.... S....

    Top! Bruce is the monster!

  40. a.... ....

    And so we lay...
    We lay in the same bed...

  43. M.... D....

    You do know this song is talking about Aleister Crowley?

    M.... D....

    Yeah!!! Aleister Crowley is one of Bruce's heroes!!! Mine also! Man Of Sorrows is about AC, also n not Jesus!! Bruce is addressing Crowley as his messiah!!

    M.... D....

    Jack Parsons

    M.... D....

    do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law

    M.... D....

    I guess This song is about William Blake and not Crowley

    M.... ....

    same I LIVE FOR IT

  60. M.... M....

    There's nothing dislike about this song! This is one the best mysteries songs I've ever heard with an orgasmic solo guitar in diminished intervals.

  61. C.... 6....

    Anybody see the movie based on Aleister Crowley? Quite a hoot.

  62. M.... M....

    Love This music !!!

  63. G.... K....

    Bruce and Adrian at that point were clearly ready at that point for a Maiden reunion

    G.... K....

    I loved the Maiden reunion and the subsequent records, but this, this is darker and more energetic. We need another album, too long since tyranny of souls!

  64. J.... 8....

    this song is about semen mixed with vagina juice
    in other words, fucking

  65. m.... ....

    Bruce Dickinson is amazing long life for him😊

  66. n.... r....

    Better than anything on that abortion book of souls

    n.... r....

    nick robertson you my friend. Are what. Us. Good music knowing people call stupid. Your just an old fan. That can't get into there new stuff. Because its not. Like number of the beast. Get over it the albums good and you know it.

    n.... r....

    I get what Nick is saying. I'll say something similar without knocking the new works too much. This album is far superior to anything Maiden has released since 7th son. Maiden record production is stuck in a time warp, and not in a comforting way. What makes this record, as well as accident of birth age so well is Roy Zs ability to meld the classic stylings of Bruce and Adrian with his more modern guitar tones and overall production techniques. It's really a shame RoyZ wasn't brought in to produce for maiden from brave new world on after. They could have used a fresh set of ears. But like most ultra successful acts they end up with yes men behind the board to produce.

    n.... r....

    You do realise a lot of book of souls was originally for his next solo album. You plonker

    · Voice · Ov · Evil · great movie

    · Voice · Ov · Evil · in the us the movie is released as Crowley but rest of the world is called Chemical Wedding

    �.... V....

    · Voice · Ov · Evil · Chemical Wedding is the ORIGINAL movie title from UK and Crowley is the title given in the USA

    �.... V....

    · Voice · Ov · Evil · is really an overaggressive, trolly moron huh.

  82. J.... C....

    Masterpiece.

  83. R.... ....

    Could anybody please explain to me the concept of "Chemical Wedding day"? I love the lyrics and all but I feel I'm still missing smthg. Thanks!!

    R.... ....

    +Rodrigo Segura, It's an Aleister Crowley reference, do some research. :)

    R.... ....

    search for chymical wedding

    R.... ....

    it's a concept album about alchemists and their "occult" operas "corpus hermeticum" ect. look for that
    there're also referiments to urizen from blake or gnostics's demiurge, and all those kind of stuff

    R.... ....

    Defloration ;)

  85. M.... M....

    One of Bruce Dickinson's best songs ever.... I wish the rest of the album would be more in this style, with light and shade, in terms of sound. A lot of the rest is pretty heavy and dark. But I still like The Chemical Wedding pretty much.

    M.... M....

    @ZealSeraph To be fair, The X Factor is brilliant :-) Along with Chemical Wedding of course, that one is brilliant too.

    M.... M....

    @Kateřina Konečná No arguments there. I happen to like the two Blaze-era albums a lot, much more than No Prayer for the Dying or Fear of the Dark. I just think Chemical Wedding and Accident of Birth are superior to all those albums.

    M.... M....

    @ZealSeraph What are you talking about? I love every Maiden album and their 90's albums are among their best in my opinion.

    M.... M....

    @ZealSeraph And can i just point out that Chemical Wedding is one of the simplest songs I've ever listened too. Nowhere near Maiden. Nobody can top Steve Harris, Dave Murray and Adrian.

    M.... M....

    @Tom W The material from No Prayer and Fear of the Dark never did it for me. Doesn't mean they're bad albums mind you. In my opinion Bruce and Adrian did a better job with Accident of Birth and Chemical Wedding.

  86. J.... B....

    For me it's the best Bruce's solo album. Cheers!!!

  87. I.... A....

    Makes me want to watch the movie Crowley

  88. H.... A....

    2:33 é muito loko as entoações do teclado

  89. k.... ....

    Killer song and killer album.
    have never gotten tired of listening since it came out!

  90. F.... D....

    This is so Darkly romantic: the true marriage, the day our remains and dusts will be fused with our soulmate, for ever.

    F.... D....

    the song is about alchemy.

    F.... D....

    the song is about overdose

    F.... D....

    the song is kickass
