Awesome song, though it sounds like it was written with Ronnie James Dio's voice in mind. Dio is, in my view, the only metal vocalist better than Bruce Dickinson.

I haven't yet deciphered the meaning of this album (I haven't tried yet), but I can say it is easily Maiden's best, as it is their most progressive (progressive rock, that is) album, especially this track. 1

This entire album, arguably, is based on seventh son, a novel by orson scott card. why i say arguably is because some people claim that only tracks 5 through 8 are based on the album. seventh son is actually the first book in a seires of four. The first four or so tracks have direct references to the first two books which focus mostly on the childhood of the seventh son of a seventh son. Tracks 6-8 begin referencing when the boy stops learning and begins teaching in a sense. This song actually summerizes the majority of the series, The birth obviously and the development of his powers "Then they watch the progress he makes The Good and the Evil which path will he take"

This album is a concept album. This song, moonchild, infinite dreams, the prophecy, can i play with madness, and the clairvoyant are all telling one story about one who can see the future.
