"Days Of Future Past" lyrics

"Days Of Future Past"

A war in heaven in god's rage
He put me in this burning cage
Holy fury locks me in
Imprisoned by my deadly sin

Every hour the shadow king
Wonders what his clock will bring
I've lived and loved and that's for sure
My fatal quest forever more

The days of future past to wander on the shore
A king without a queen to die for evermore

To wander in the wasteland
Immortal to the end
Waiting for the judgement
But the judgement never ends

Once crucified you forgave it all
But my own life condemned to fall
Where's the glory in your name
My twisted soul still burns in flame

Hark you angels hear my call
Father witness to my fall
Between the lines of sin and pain
I walk the earth now doomed again

The days of future past to wander on the shore
A king without a queen to die for evermore

To wander in the wasteland
Immortal to the end
Waiting for the judgement
But the judgement never ends

The days of future past to wander on the shore
A king without a queen to die for evermore

To wander in the wasteland
Immortal to the end
Waiting for the judgement
But the judgement never ends

The days of future past to wander on the shore
A king without a queen to die for evermore

To wander in the wasteland
Immortal to the end
Waiting for the judgement
But the judgement never ends

Bruce Dickinson told Apple Music about this song, "The lyric is a reimagining of the graphic novel 'Constantine', particularly the movie version with Keanu Reeves. It's kind of an interesting set-up, because there's always the assumption that God is the good guy. In this scenario, God seems to be a manipulative narcissist. He's almost like a psychopath: 'I'm going to do all this horrible stuff to you, and then you just have to love me.' How does that work? That's what the song asks."
