| I'm not sure, but the lyrics strongly suggest a witch's commune in the woods, like the ones that that the puritans were always accusing each other of in 17th century America. I would also venture a connection to "The Crucible" by Arthur Miller. The imagery is powerfully reminiscent of the short story "Young Goodman Brown" by Nathaniel Hawthorne. | |

| yup, just another fantasy adventure from Iron Maiden. Great Song. I imagine this song about a guy who's drunk, and has delirious visions, but is so profoundly shook by them that he changes his lifestyle and starts preparing for death and living his life to the fullest. | |

| Bruce said in a magazine interview that this song was made up about the devils within you that tempt you to do bad things. In the end he overcomes them, and fears what might happen if the temptation ever overcomes him again. | |

| Brilliant new sound on the Dance of Death album, headlined by this brilliant title song. This song was awesome when I heard it live. Bruce is just great. | |

| I think the song is acutally meant to be a fantasy thing. Not really based on any real life things. The way it goes on about the spirit and mysterious being seems surreal and eerie. That's what makes it so good. | |
