[Lyrics]

Kill for gain or shoot to maim but we don’t need a reason
The Golden Goose is on the loose and never out of season
Blackened pride still burns inside this 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
But 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

The blind men shout let the creatures out, we’ll show the unbelievers
The napalm screams of human flames, of 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
But don’t you pray for my soul anymore

2 minutes to midnight…

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
But don’t you pray for my soul anymore

2 minutes to midnight…

Midnight… midnight… it’s all night
Midnight… midnight… all night!
…………………………………
”2 Minutes To Midnight” is a song from Iron Maiden’s album,Powerslave,and it was released in 1984.

The title of the song refers to the Doomsday Clock, one of the most chilling and best known symbols of the nuclear age, representing how close humanity is to the brink of nuclear holocaust (midnight). The clock reached 2 minutes to midnight in September 1953, after the Soviets successfully detonated an awesomely powerful thermonuclear device. Today the clock stands at 7 minutes to midnight after little progress was made on global nuclear disarmament. In 2002, the United States rejected a series of arms control treaties and announced it will withdraw from the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty. Moreover, terrorists seek to acquire and use nuclear and biological weapons. Bad news for mankind indeed!”

”About the politics of war and destruction, ‘2 Minutes To Midnight’ makes a meaningful statement about the morality of warmongers and politicians.

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
