Iron Maiden - 2 Minutes To Midnight (Instrumental) [Studio Version]

Iron Maiden - Powerslave - 2 Minutes To Midnight
| Original master backing track for vocalists i.e. use this track when you feel brave enough to try and fill the boots of the AIR RAID SIREN aka BRUCE DICKINSON! :D
Lyrics:
Kill for gain or shoot to maim
We don't need a reason
The Golden Goose is on the loose
And never out of season
Blackened pride still burns inside
The shell of bloody treason
Here's my gun for a barrel of fun
For the love of living death
The killer's breed or the demon's seed,
The glamour, the fortune, the pain,
Go to war again, blood is freedom's stain
Don't you pray for our soul anymore
2 minutes to midnight,
The hands that threaten doom.
2 minutes to midnight,
To kill the unborn in the womb.
The blind men shout,
"Let the creatures out
We'll show the unbelievers."
Napalm screams of human flames
For a prime time Belsen feast ... yeah!
As the reasons for the carnage cut their meat and lick the gravy
We oil the jaws of the war machine and feed it with our babies.
The killer's breed or the demon's seed,
The glamour, the fortune, the pain,
Go to war again, blood is freedom's stain
Don't you pray for our soul anymore
2 minutes to midnight,
The hands that threaten doom.
2 minutes to midnight,
To kill the unborn in the womb.
[Solo]
The body bags and little rags of children torn in two
And the jellied brains of those who remain to put the finger right on you
As the madmen play on words and make us all dance to their song
To the tune of starving millions to make a better kind of gun.
The killer's breed or the Demon's seed,
The glamour, the fortune, the pain,
Go to war again, blood is freedom's stain
Don't you pray for my soul anymore.
2 minutes to midnight,
The hands that threaten doom.
2 minutes to midnight,
To kill the unborn in the womb.
Midnight
Midnight
Midnight
It's all night
Midnight
Midnight
Midnight
It's all night

i remember back in the 90s one of my slayer cassette tapes had icecream spilt on it and it mysteriously erased just the singing and left just the music. I was left with slayer's Reign in Blood..no singing just the Instrumental on every song...and to this day i wonder how the hell icecream did that.
i played the breaks off of that cassette seein how i had a $5k Fosgate stereo in my lil truck and i think it was the first time i had heard slayer with just the music and i thank god for that icecream....
still love some Instrumental and it doesnt get much better
than maiden in this garden of fear.

[@rodrigodiaz7167]

are you sure you weren't on meth or something?

[@whoisarebe]

You know I usually listen to rap music, I'm a big fan of hip-hop...
But this instrumental goes hard af, dope, can't find any words that would fit it, just great.

[@WASTEem4LL]

+Outrageous Videos you are not better than an ISIS extremists, ordering someone to die just for the sake of not having the same musical preferences that you have, please grow up

[@outrageousvideos]

***** Isis are pussys

[@rockfangamingvlog2250]

+Outrageous Videos look man, I think everyone should listen to his favourite kind of music

[@Austinator430]

+whoisarebe You don't belong here...

[@whoisarebe]

Outrageous Videos I'm whiter than snow, that's the only thing making you jealous

[@PuerinTheHunter]

More bass = more bad ass.

[@ashtakmetoza5689]

One of my top 5 Maiden tracks, Infinite Dreams and Hallowed Be Thy Name would be in there too

[@eurandicorvelloantunesdeol5392]

Powerful!
Thank You! 🤟🏼

[@80sMeavyHetal]

[@WeWantGoodCovers]

[@templarioaph]

listening to this while studying the Cold War. Priceless

[@jamesselig8461]

Can one get a copy of this? ITS AWESOME

[@Malaachi31]

True story!

[@andreaskollmuss]

A very good instrumental version.

[@evaldodemoraes9018]

[@ExplorandoLima]

Guitar Hero 5 Iron Maiden :)

[@jamesselig8461]

Do you have anyway to download a copy of this? Its awesome

[@yaaaification]

Sounds better without lyrics thus why we are all here

[@drippytortilla9445]

raymond richel yeah I'm guilty of that

[@robinsanness6539]

i came here to sing

[@oscargarza804]

kind of, but for me is just like an alternative version. I heard the "original" like a million times, its nice to hear something different but still the exact same thing

[@reloadpsi]

I mean I'm here to whistle the lead parts to Momentary Life from Guilty Gear XX over it. If it weren't obviously based on Musashi's Yamato Suite #4 I'd accuse it of being based on this :P

[@sothis1448]

Dickinson ruined this album with his inane screeching.

[@mkmkmk2004]

1:12

[@Eletrohammer]

Much better then with Bruce

[@rodrigodiaz7167]

yeah most metal/hard rock vocalists are so obnoxius, specially in the 80s

[@BFG-hv2ml]

i love this song, but i don't like bruce dickinson voice, so this is perfect for me

[@BangBang-hk4rg]

WHAT?! 😳

[@LMTR14]

[@winstonsmith-ministryoftru1609]

From an album called "Powerslave" by Iron Maiden

[@sothis1448]

[@amarildojunior3435]

Drums is too high, but everything seems to be on tempo.

[@derekbrunette222]
