[Lyrics]

Slowly bleeding, watch the vortex feeding
Like a swirling vulture on your face

Every hour the unseen rays devour
Your screaming eyes cry out but they are blind

Father, forgive me my sins
Give me the nails, I’ll hammer them in

The road to is full of good intentions
Say farewell, we may never meet again
The road to is full of good intentions
Down the left-hand highway with no sinister regrets

Brave new world of secret fantasy
That hovers just beyond your bloody grasp

Close enough to thrill, the danger of the kill
Price for failure of your will

Father, forgive us our sins
‘Cause we’re all the junkies who never can win

The road to is full of good intentions
Say farewell, we may never meet again
The road to is full of good intentions
Down the left-hand highway with no sinister regrets

Father, forgive me my sins
Give me the nails, I’ll hammer them in

The road to is full of good intentions
Parody of hope is the one that I must kill
We all have to live with our family inventions
Down the left-hand highway with no sinister regrets

The road to is full of good intentions
Say farewell, we may never meet again
The road to is full of good intentions
Down the left-hand highway with no sinister regrets

”Road To Hell” is a song from Bruce Dickinson’s solo album, Accident of Birth 1997.

The album, Accident of Birth is a heavy metal album released in 1997 by Bruce Dickinson.
This is the second album made in collaboration with guitarist/producer Roy Z and is therefore much different from Bruce’s previous Skunkworks album. It marks Bruce’s return to his more melodic style of singing. He was also assisted by another former Iron Maiden member Adrian Smith and the two would later return to the band in early 1999. Thanks to the slightly bigger success of this album, Bruce would work with Roy Z in the future on his solo albums (including his latest, Tyranny of Souls).
Around the time he was creating the album, Bruce Dickinson’s mother told him that he was the result of a “failed abortion.” The album title and the title track are a reference to this revelation: Bruce was a birth that shouldn’t have been. It is not clear whether it was an actual botched abortion or that his mother was expressing regret at not having aborted her pregnancy.

The cover art was done by Derek Riggs, best known for being the creator of Iron Maiden’s mascot Eddie and the artwork on all Iron Maiden albums/singles/posters/tour brochures throughout 1980-1990. (Source : Wikipedia)

Most of the songs on the album featured Roy Z on guitar. His real name is Roy Romeriz but, in his words, “back in the ’80s it wasn’t really all that cool to have an ethnic last name, so I flipped it around and it became ‘Zerimar.’ Eventually, people just started abbreviating it for convenience sake’s and called me ‘Z,’ and it stuck.” However, the song “Ghost of Cain” (which was featured on the single) had Adrian Smith on guitar. Smith was the guitarist for Iron Maiden from 1980-1990 until leaving for his solo project, ASAP (Adrian Smith And Project). “Ghost of the Navigator” was the name of a song on Brave New World, the first Maiden album released after Dickinson rejoined the band.

Bruce Dickinson, about the album: “The truth is never clear… until it clobbers you over the head. That’s what happened when I decided to make the ultimate metal record. My favorite stuff, legends, sci-fi, fairy stories, dark deeds of the occult, set to slamming riffs, soaring vocals and great tunes.”
