Infinite Dreams (Live)

Iron Maiden · Maiden England [1994]

Infinite dreams, I can't deny them

Infinity is hard to comprehend

I couldn't hear those screams

Even in my wildest dreams



Suffocation, waking in a sweat

Scared to fall asleep again

Incase the dream begins again

Someone chasing, I cannot move

Standing rigid, nightmare's statue

What a dream, when will it end

And will I transcend?



Restless sleep, the mind's in turmoil

One nightmare ends, another fertile

Getting to me, so scared to sleep

But scared to wake now, in too deep.



Even though it's reached new heights

I rather like the restless nights

It makes me wonder, it makes me think

There's more to this, I'm on the brink

It's not the fear of what's beyond

It's just that I might not respond

I have an interest, almost craving

But would I like to get too far in?



It can't be all coincidence

Too many things are evident

You tell me you're an unbeliever

Spiritualist? Well, me, I'm neither

But wouldn't you like to know

The truth

Of what's out there, to have the proof

And find out just which side

You're on

Where would you in Heaven or

In Hell?



Help me, Help me to find my true

Self without seeing the future

Save me, save me from torturing

Myself, even within my dreams



There's got to be more to it

Than this

Or tell me, why do we exist?

I'd like to think that when I die

I'd get a chance, another time

And to return and live again

Reincarnate, play the game

Again and again and again
