Who else could make a hymn adopted by the Women's Institute seem cool? As someone else said, who else in rock would use classic English poetry into their lyrics? Love it. Who else could be a rock god, professional pilot, nationally ranked fencer, military historian, radio host, TV presenter, producer and best selling novelist? Bruce is the man. He is a fucking legend. Up the Irons!
There you have it men...Bruce Dickinson. Bad ass swordsman, writer, radio host, pilot AND the greatest lead singer in rock history. Bruce Dickinson is a role model for any man who seeks the Arthur's Hall vision of manly greatness. LEGENDARY MANLINESS!!! UP THE IRONS!
Have to say, I have rarely seen a great artist like Bruce. 99.95% of his song's (included Iron Maiden) are in my rank nr.1 he has a perfect singing voice for a rock. R.I.P. for everyone in Jokela, Finland. :'( tears of the dragon
My all-time favorite Bruce Dickinson song, one of my all-time favorite songs by anybody second only to "One" by U2. Glad to see people giving it the love it deserves. It still moves me after every listen.
nice amv ;) Let it rain, let it rain, tears of blood fall out of the sky, Let it rain, let it rain, wash me, clean me again (8) Bruce is simply a master
Jerusalem is my all time fav Bruce solo tracks and Kingdom Of Heaven is one of my all time fav films, you combined them brilliant. Excellent! UP THE IRONS!!!
I just read The Missing Years of Jesus by Dennis Price. Then I saw this video from the film Kingdom Of Heaven with Jerusalem and I gotta say it all inspires me to go on the next crusade.
Rock Trivia: Arthur Brown (god of hellfire) records the spoken word at the end of the song. Brilliant piece of music set to a brilliant set of images from an excellent and under-rated film. Top stuff Rived
You know i've looked for this song on youtube, and this has got to be the best version, with the exeption of poor fergus from "goosebury's and cinnamon yougurt" Catherine Tate Show. long live Iron Maiden !!
Thank you for posting this wonderful song & superb video. When William Blake wrote his original poem, he was writing about an historical event; if anyone's interested in reading more about it, check out the Eternal Idol site and the book, "The Missing Years of Jesus", which incidentally mentions this song by Bruce.
Third attempt to post: Blakes original poem is about how England was destroyed by the industrial revolution and no paradise can be built there. There is also references to the myth that Jesus came to England and created Jerusalem there. But it is also discusses the idea of creating a Utopia / paradise in your own country
jerusalem may not have a beach and kinda old, but great feeling of this old accient spirit comes down when entering the city =] "moses was here" and stuff XD wish maiden would come to israel!! great solo btw!
One thing I will say though that I could not fit into previous comment. Bruce's Scream For Me Brazil beats all of Maidens live albums for me. I'm not sure why I love it so much but the air raid opening, the Brazil fans, the setlist, the sound / production ... just amazing. Beast Over Hammersmith, Maiden England, Live After Death, Rock In Rio etc - all amazing but none of them beat Scream For Me Brazil (my humble opinion).
Good stuff. Though I think it could have been even better. Perhaps to put those green scenes from beginning of the movie when song starts, it fits into lyrics. And when the song gets really intense, put some epic (battle) scene... I don't know, that's how I see it. ;)
Not sure about album vs album but overall I think that Maiden have the edge because they have a lot more outstanding tracks. Like my top 20 favorite Maiden tracks Vs my top 20 favorite Bruce solo tracks, Maiden easily win for me. I know Maiden have a bigger selection of songs to choose from than Bruce solo but still ... Maiden edge it in my book.
I did, thanks. There seems to be a whole fictional mythology based on allegory and symbolism. It is hard to know exactly waht he means unless you've been taught that. His paintings are full of freemassonic references (especially this Urizen character) and symbols but they say he was not a fremason himself but had close friends who were.
Pękaj chmuro, Abym ognisty rydwan miał! Niech pada deszcz Krwawe łzy rozejdą się po niebie Niech pada deszcz Niech pada deszcz Ponownie mnie obmyje... Z lodowatych wód Na nowo król powstanie Z dwoma słońcami na niebie... Myśl moja już nie spocznie w boju, Nie uśnie miecz w ucisku rąk, Póki nie stanie Jeruzalem W Anglii zielonej, kraju łąk. Niech pada deszcz
JERUSALEM Czy to wśród gór zielonej Anglii Jego krok ongi deptał głaz? Czy widział kto na łąkach Anglii, Jak się Baranek Boży pasł? Czy to Oblicze Boga słało Dla naszych chmurnych wzgórz swój wzrok? Czy kto wzniósł kiedy Jeruzalem W Anglii zielonej, kraju łąk. Niech pada deszcz Zmyje zasłonę z oczu mych Niech pada deszcz Pozwól bym znów ujrzeć mógł ... O, łuk mi dajcie z żaru złota, A z pragnień moich groty strzał! Dajcie mi włócznię!
Niech pada deszcz Niech pada deszcz Krwawe łzy rozejdą się po niebie Niech pada deszcz Ponownie mnie obmyje ... Spójrz na błyszczącą iglicę twierdzy Król i królowa zamieszkają W naszych sercach ... Czyż można odbudować Jeruzalem, W tych nic nie znaczących czasach, Na tej ziemi strachu? W Jeruzalem, gdzie spoczywa Graal Podążając w kierunku światła Rozrywając kajdany.
Saint Paul states that Christians will judge Angels. We all have the right to pass any judgment that is just, mindful we are equally answerable to judgment and will be judged by the same laws we judge others. Evil must be fought. I made out my Last Will and Testament as a soldier in the Gulf War. I have no fear of a just God nor of being His instrument.
Really, everyone talking about war and how it destroys the world, but... have any of you thought in the horses? I mean, those poor creatures surely have suffered ever since they have been used to ride :P
He can prevent evil, but does not because it would take away free will. The price of free will is the prescence of sin. Otherwise we would be mindless drones. There needs to be a balance of good and evil,
Actually I was insulting Halford if you didn't realize that. I was calling him out for being gay. And Maiden is better than Priest, and so is Bruce's solo material (at least Accident of Birth and Chemical Wedding)
If you like music, enjoy it and don't look to blame it on religion or all the bad things that may, or may nor happen. I am not an Iron Maiden fan, but I do like heavy metal.....and I ended up on this site by accident, as you do, sometimes...........M Winwood
Joeseph of Aramethia was a knight teplar...or at least he's said to be one :) And some say, the templars were in charge of guarding Avalon. But these are the only reasons why i mentioned them :)
Jerusalem, the holy city where it is said that god shall send down his son and cleanse the world of all evil. Thats probably whats the song is all about to, more or less, maby about the crusaders whio were sent out to kill in gods name and reclaim the holy city, they succeded and held the city for many years before the turks came. (may be some errors in my historical view)
Fair call...my original post was to the post making connections with the Jerusalem, Isreal. Well, like all texts you can interpret them as you please (and I truely believe that most of the symbols are not intentional) is that a good or bad thing? That's the big question, and a discussion in itself ;-)

The blonde warrior is what I call a real WIKING!!!!
This CD is perhaps Bruce's greatest contribution to music.
bruce should have been born in those days... this song wins wars
My all-time favorite Bruce Dickinson song, one of my all-time favorite songs by anybody second only to "One" by U2. Glad to see people giving it the love it deserves. It still moves me after every listen.
Awesome! Bruce is the greatest front man in the world! UP THE IRON!!!
nice amv ;)
Let it rain, let it rain, tears of blood fall out of the sky, Let it rain, let it rain, wash me, clean me again (8)
Bruce is simply a master
spot on mate. King constantine of scotland live to the ripe old age of 80 and William the Marshal was still fighting when he was 76!
Amazing song and video. Iron Maiden and Bruce Dickinson 4ever!!
Jerusalem is my all time fav Bruce solo tracks and Kingdom Of Heaven is one of my all time fav films, you combined them brilliant. Excellent! UP THE IRONS!!!

the video cuts the last bit out lol.
Great song, great vid... try some more MVs man, you're good at them.
I did, thanks. There seems to be a whole fictional mythology based on allegory and symbolism. It is hard to know exactly waht he means unless you've been taught that.

yes adrian plays in both The Chemical Wedding and Accident Of Birth
the part in 4:28 30 rules the world that riff rules the fucking universe
Pękaj chmuro, Abym ognisty rydwan miał!
Niech pada deszcz
Krwawe łzy rozejdą się po niebie
Niech pada deszcz
Niech pada deszcz
Ponownie mnie obmyje...
Z lodowatych wód
Na nowo król powstanie
Z dwoma słońcami na niebie...
Myśl moja już nie spocznie w boju,
Nie uśnie miecz w ucisku rąk,
Póki nie stanie Jeruzalem
W Anglii zielonej, kraju łąk.
Niech pada deszcz
JERUSALEM
Czy to wśród gór zielonej Anglii
Jego krok ongi deptał głaz?
Czy widział kto na łąkach Anglii,
Jak się Baranek Boży pasł?
Czy to Oblicze Boga słało
Dla naszych chmurnych wzgórz swój wzrok?
Czy kto wzniósł kiedy Jeruzalem
W Anglii zielonej, kraju łąk.
Niech pada deszcz
Zmyje zasłonę z oczu mych
Niech pada deszcz
Pozwól bym znów ujrzeć mógł ...
O, łuk mi dajcie z żaru złota,
A z pragnień moich groty strzał!
Dajcie mi włócznię!
Piękne!
Niech pada deszcz
Niech pada deszcz
Krwawe łzy rozejdą się po niebie
Niech pada deszcz
Ponownie mnie obmyje ...
Spójrz na błyszczącą iglicę twierdzy
Król i królowa zamieszkają
W naszych sercach ...
Czyż można odbudować Jeruzalem,
W tych nic nie znaczących czasach,
Na tej ziemi strachu?
W Jeruzalem, gdzie spoczywa Graal
Podążając w kierunku światła
Rozrywając kajdany.
Check wikipedia or research the original poem by William Blake....
much better than the songs he has made with Maiden
amazing music!
Saint Paul states that Christians will judge Angels. We all have the right to pass any judgment that is just, mindful we are equally answerable to judgment and will be judged by the same laws we judge others. Evil must be fought. I made out my Last Will and Testament as a soldier in the Gulf War. I have no fear of a just God nor of being His instrument.
how come its kinky nothing kinky about this amazing piece of work
@marlonmancilla101 its called kingdom of heaven its good i watched it a while back
this song is fucking awesome!!! =D
I love it too much ^^
Its the horses I always feel sorry for too..
Really, everyone talking about war and how it destroys the world, but... have any of you thought in the horses? I mean, those poor creatures surely have suffered ever since they have been used to ride :P
Well...that's the point...Or Blake's point.
Blake had no idea how true his poem would be. I would rather his great piece be 'proved' wrong...
@marlonmancilla101
Kingdom of Heaven
It's directed by Ridley Scott (Gladiator)
Go buy the DVD, well worth it. Kingdom Of Heaven is awesome. Better than Troy, better than Gladiator, better than Alexander, (my humble opinion).
He can prevent evil, but does not because it would take away free will. The price of free will is the prescence of sin. Otherwise we would be mindless drones. There needs to be a balance of good and evil,
They should use this as the official song the next time England play in the world cup finals.
the album is called "The Chemical Wedding", not "chemical romance" :-)
Sorry....I meant King Arthur :) mistyping
So i wanted to say thar Arthur was a templar. Sorry again
Fucking awesome...
Actually I was insulting Halford if you didn't realize that. I was calling him out for being gay. And Maiden is better than Priest, and so is Bruce's solo material (at least Accident of Birth and Chemical Wedding)
@AxendarIV and omarwagas1 ya both wrong - nobody really won - the battle's still going a thousand years later.... and still - nobody wins.......
adrian does the guitar in that no ?
If you like music, enjoy it and don't look to blame it on religion or all the bad things that may, or may nor happen. I am not an Iron Maiden fan, but I do like heavy metal.....and I ended up on this site by accident, as you do, sometimes...........M Winwood
@make940 at 1:46 it's the point when some guys ambushed them in a forest!!!
it cuts out "Babylon" at the end!
Joeseph of Aramethia was a knight teplar...or at least he's said to be one :) And some say, the templars were in charge of guarding Avalon. But these are the only reasons why i mentioned them :)
yeah who needs logic and reason when you can have an imaginary friend in the sky!
....Babylon
@bobbigboss111
The answer is Religion... if none of us believed in god (or his other names), we would have saved countless lives already...
@MultiMetaldemon War was never a solution.
Jerusalem, the holy city where it is said that god shall send down his son and cleanse the world of all evil.
Thats probably whats the song is all about to, more or less, maby about the crusaders whio were sent out to kill in gods name and reclaim the holy city, they succeded and held the city for many years before the turks came. (may be some errors in my historical view)
Fair call...my original post was to the post making connections with the Jerusalem, Isreal.
