Iron Maiden - Heaven Can Wait lyrics

Your rating:

Can't understand, what is happening to me,
This isn't real, this is only a dream,
But I never have felt, 
No, I never have felt this way before

I'm looking down on my body, below,
I lie asleep in the midst of a dream,
Is it now, could it be  
The angel of death has come for me?

I can't believe, that really my time has come
I don't feel ready, there's so much left undone
And it's my soul and I'm not gonna let it get away

Heaven can wait,
Heaven can wait,
Heaven can wait,
Heaven can wait, 'til another day

Heaven can wait,
Heaven can wait,
Heaven can wait,
Heaven can wait, 'til another day

I have a lust for the Earth, below
And Hell itself is my only foe
'Cause I've no fear of dying,
I'll go, when I'm good and ready

I snatch a glimpse of the light's eternal rays
I see a tunnel, I stand amazed,
At all of the people, standing there in front of me,

Into the paths of rightness, I'll be led
Is this the place, where the living join the dead?
I wish I knew, this was only just a nightmare

Heaven can wait,
Heaven can wait,
Heaven can wait,
Heaven can wait, 'til another day

Heaven can wait,
Heaven can wait,
Heaven can wait,
Heaven can wait, 'til another day

Take my hand, I'll lead you to the promised land
Take my hand, I'll give you immortality
Eternal youth, I'll take you to the other side,
To see the truth, the path for you is decided

Oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh... (6 times)
 
My body tingles, I feel so strange
I feel so tired, I feel so drained
And I'm wondering, if I'll ever be the same again

Is this in limbo or in Heaven or Hell?
Maybe I'm going down there as well
I can't accept, my soul will drift forever

I feel myself floating back down to Earth
So, could this be the hour of my rebirth?
Or have I died or will I wake from dreaming?

Heaven can wait,
Heaven can wait,
Heaven can wait,
Heaven can wait, 'til another day.

Heaven can wait,
Heaven can wait,
Heaven can wait,
Heaven can wait, 'til another day

Heaven can wait,
Heaven can wait,
Heaven can wait,
Heaven can wait, 'til another day

Heaven can wait,
Heaven can wait,
Heaven can wait,
Heaven can wait, 'til another day
