Iron Maiden - The Longest Day Lyrics

SEM DÚVIDAS A MAIOR BANDA DE HEAVY METAL DE TODOS OS TEMPOS!

Bruce Dickinson a toujours oeuvré pour rendre les textes du métal un peu moins cons, et c'est tout à son honneur...Mais que cela n'empêche pas le reste du groupe de composer de bonnes chansons. Ici ça n'est pas le cas puisque ce titre est excellent, mais d'habitude....Vous savez vu de France (ou d'ailleurs) où l'anglais n'est pas toujours compris et où l'on se fout d'ailleurs de ce que le chanteur raconte, (c'est un tort, mais bon...) ne reste que la musique à se mettre sous la dent, et du coup cela passe souvent très mal...Mais je suis certain que vous êtes au courant de la question...Longue vie quand même.

People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.

iron.maiden.lo.mejor.

“All summers long the drills to build the machine
To turn men from flesh and blood to steel”
Always gets the gains going in the gym when I put this on!

This is by far my favorite Iron Maiden song.

You can feel Omaha Beach!! God Bless our troops who did this, June 6th, 1944!!

This song is about me walking across the parking lot from my car into work every morning.

Compré el 2008 el disco y la polera respectiva. UNA MAQUINA DE VIDA Y MUERTE.

I.L.O.V.E.A.M.O.L.A.D.

too cheerful imo one problem about this album

Gold, Sword, Juno, Omaha, and Utah, these 5 beaches are why we walk around in freedom!!!!!!!

UP THE IRONS

June 21, 2019 will be the longest day in the northern hemisphere

who's listening in 1984 ?

Happy Longest Day 75th Anniversary!

75 years ago today.

75th Anniversary of the Longest Day tomorrow. Lest we forget.

Fuckin epic

Every 6th of June I feel so grateful to these soldiers as if they were ours. They're heroes
Greetings and my respect from Greece

My great uncle landed on Omaha in 44 with th 29th and made it to the Ardennes. He was on patrol and a sniper got him in the shoulder. If that sniper hadn't found him he would've bought it when a mortar shell landed just a few yards in front of him. He was on his death bed swearing he forgave the sniper and would even kiss him on the lips for saving his life.

So terrifying, yet so weirdly wholesome.

every day of my life...

COMO PODEM DAR DESLIKE NESSE SOM , MEU DEUS ESSE ÁLBUM É UMA OBRA PRIMA, FANTÁSTICO, MEU SONHO É VER ESSA TOUR UM DIA PASSAR PELO BRASIL !!

Very under-rated album! i haven't listened to these songs in a long time, i forget how awesome this album is :D

up the iron！

TQ..Maiden Man

Name a song with a more powerful intro

This was the album that got me into Maiden

This song has one of the greatest goddamn riffs of all time and you all know it

Iron Maiden is quite simply the greatest metal band of all time, no exceptions.

they fell off drastically after 'brave new world' i hate to say

Is that a hybrid version of the T-72 and 62?

Bruce Dickinson is the best vocalist ever! End of discusion.

I have only been listening to this album for a week but I think this song is much better than Hallowed Be Thy Name

hate the chorus, but oh well

Today the D-Day was 74 Years ago. Who else is here to let Iron Maiden tell the story? :)

you should check out primo victoria from sabaton

Today, 74 years of the Normady landings.

I guess I will just play this over and over again

This is definitely one of their most underrated albums, I mean like the lyrics are amazing and as well is the energy and the chorus.
Well done!!!!!!

D-Day much????????????????????

You want to motivate a construction crew. This is one of the songs to blast. Monday's are maiden day just to get back in the groove coming off a weekend and we crank it up and tear the knob off. 🤘

Iron maiden The Legend of Singing

One of the best Overlord themed songs the only one thats on its level that i know about is sabaton's primo victoria

Half the people are arguing about historical consistency, considering that you have skeleton soldiers....

singing about war is about the most metal thing you can base music around. RIP to all the men who fought

A Matter Of Life And Death is actually better than I thought
I never gave it a chance but its a good album!

Bone chilling

Best of the Beast !!!

*i got the synthwave cover of this song in my channel ,maybe somebody got interest :)*

D-Day upon us!

the drums man....

my favorite song on the album, man Nicko's drums and snare are like gunfire and war, he's blazing on this album with a huge in-your-face sound, one of my favorite things.

In those days our dads fight for their lifes and country in axes side against stalins evils....and hey beat those evils...finland llves forrever!!!!!

MottiMajuri axis

Many men, came here as soldiers!





Ah, I am sorry. It is not the song

men love darkness rather than light.

sorry i adore maiden, maiden for life but this song does have a riff that is full on megadeth, if u know wat i mean u will know but love maiden

Apology accepted.

Great zombie killing song

Im reading some comments here and I just want to point out..that MAIDEN NEVER MADE AN ACTUALLY BAD ALBUM! Some were just not that good compared to other Maiden compositions..thats why everyone has a different opinion which is respected of course!

Κων Χα true that my favorite is peace of mind

except 7th son which is dreadful

@Emperor_Xenolius Do you actually believe that or are you trolling? I'm genuinely asking.

@Emperor_Xenolius I'm gonna have to agree with that. The only three good songs on that album are The Evil that Men Do, Can I Play with Madness, and the title track.

@KoolKid 101 I like all the songs, but strange enough I don't like it as much as a whole. Too much synthesizer and a totally different feeling from their other stuff.

Muito bom

The crossed rifles symbol for iron Maiden really bugs me, they have magazines sticking out of the foregrips, it's just wrong

Why did you say this? I just bought that shirt! I can't unsee that, you know....

Soon to be North Korea THEM.

This was yesterday 73 years ago....D-day

6/6/17 today anniversary of D-day

Happy 73rd D-Day everyone. Up the Irons!

Dat chorus tho

This should have been the music in the trailer for CoD WWII.

no, that piece of shit of an excuse of a game does not deserve to be anywhere near this well-crafted masterpiece

the longest day

I love how the strumming at the end goes from one headphone to the other like the push and pull of a calm ocean wave

Makes me wonder, if something happens now, does Europe have tough bastards like this to save her again?

Truth is Europe was saved by the Russians. They defeated Hitler - not the US. The German losses on the Eastern-Russian front were on a scale far beyond anything they lost in the West. By the time of the Normandy Landings in June 1944, the Germans were already reeling from defeat after defeat in the East and were in full retreat. The landings in France did open up the much needed second front that Stalin had been demanding. And it did shorten the war. But that war would have ended even without landings but then all of Europe would have been Communist. And ruled by a dictator just was bad as Hitler.

Canuckman Canuck Europe wasn’t saved by Russia, had they done all the fighting and liberating it Europe would be in a far worse position

5:50 favorite part of any iron maiden song

wow !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

July 5th in Oakland.

why isnt this song on spotify??

when was this written? I goggled it but could not find the date

Guys LOVE THE ROCK IS THE BEST!!!!!!

this reminds and perfectly depicts the D-day

That is the point of the song.

Feels like the longest day till that solo comes and washes all the pain away <3

fuck I love iron maiden album covers there fucking awesome

first name last name Except Dance of Death. Lol

Friedrich Gutenberg (just looked it up) what the fuck?what where they thinking

One of the rare Maiden war songs where the narrator is victorious.

in aces high, the narrator(an RAF spitfire pilot) is victorious

@Ameya Sawal Well the song ends with the narrator going into battle against 10 enemy planes, so its inconclusive. At least in my opinion.

@Classical Potato I think that was to set a picture for the odds against Britain

where eagles dare would also qualify

Awesome, excellent, heavenly, unbelievable masterpiece. One of my favorites from Iron Maiden.

Could not agree with you more. Absolutely magnificent. The messy, gritty guitartransitions in the chorus and Bruce's voice soaring on top of it all. I love it!

This is the first Iron Maiden song I've ever listened to. I was searching for some WWII stuff on Youtube and found it. I fell in love for Iron and for this song specifically.

WELCOME TO THE MAIDEN WORLD BRO

feliz cumpleaños a matter Of life and death !!

Awesome song!!

\m/ \m/

up the irons from Chile !!

yerko cornejo Canada \m/

buen tema

this is a master peice

love the bass work

kinda power metal

absolutely not hahah

Power metal would have a more epic sounding music and the lyrics would praise the glory of the battle. The vibe and message of this song is everything but to praise the glory of battle...

Valhalla waits, valkyries rise and fall!

I don't know why nordic mythology was cited in this song

Why not?

nordic mythology is created around the idea of warriors, see the connection ?

Because the Nazis liked to say that the Nordic race (whatever that means) is the master race. And the Aryan race...

Marlon Quilante yes,it shoud be Celtic mithology once we are celts,but it is not popular as Nordic mithology unfortanaly

iron maiden The Best

And the beast

Awesome song

usa cant be proud of what they did to germany killing their own white brothers

@Красная Армия- Вперёд! 
>>semites, and khazars
>>whites

@Andrew Carroll ww2 vets are going to hell for fighting against Christ's nation... 

@vonshtoyven The one that sent priests to labor camps? "God's nation". This is why wars start.

@Красная Армия- Вперёд!
 yeah because british were the first nazis to use concentration camps. and like other nations are so innocent with the way they treat people?

vonshtoyven if a pitbull were to go door to door murdering small dogs, and the only other dog strong enough to take down the pitbull was another pitbull, would it be wrong for pitbull 2 to kill pitbull one for the greater good of his fellow dogs? we are all equal in this world, and murder should be Avenged. no matter race, religion, sexual orientation, etc.

What a phenomenal album. I think this album was Maiden at their peak. The sheer ferocity, dark melodies and complex structure makes this one of the best metal albums I've heard to date.

It seems pretty clear from all these comments that their "worst albums" are still good and appeal to different people

Hey...I saw someone insult the final frontier in this comment section, I respect your opinion, but please, leave my favorite album alone lmao

Nate Gold iron maiden was not metal

Aiden Kelly yes they were/are metal. That's an ignorant comment. They were one of the heads of the "second wave of British heavy metal".

Now go vape kid

Number of the Beast was Maiden at their peak. This just showed that they haven't lost their touch.

only Iron Maiden

To jest takie dobre ,że się w głowie nie mieści ;o !
! <3! \m/
