Best Iron Maiden Songs Over 8 Minutes

This could be considered an opera. Three acts to the song, all the lyrics tell a story, the music drives the story, it's as close to perfection as I've ever heard a metal band get.

Remains my all time favourite, length has nothing to do with it

This song is amazing and bruce's awesome voice and the story is amazing and the song is pure awesomeness :) this song is the best iron maiden non-single 8-mintues song

the song the dance of death is just beautifully sang and played and when I just need to relax I play this song.

Eleven Saintly Shrouded Men
Silhouettes Stand Against The Sky
One In Front With A Cross Held High
Come To Wash My Sins Away

Amazing Dark Intro...

Lost The Love Of Heaven Above
Chose The Lust Of The Earth Below
Eleven Saintly Shrouded Men
Come To Wash My Sins Away

Amazing Dark Outro...

Sign of the cross is good only if it had more vocals because after the intro two long verses and the chorus twice its 6 minutes of guitar then the chorus twice and another verse!

Really good song love it. Blaze's vocals are really good. But I like the Bruce Dickinson version too. Just splendid this song

The sign of the Cross
The name of the rose
A fire in the sky
The sign of the Cross

Epic, especially on Rock in Rio

The consert in seffiled was just amazing. up the irons, I loved them eversince I was 2, now I'm 11. :D UP THE IRONS! WOOHO got it memoized? Laugh out loud this is annoying, come on Quality meter go up, ahh yes, tere we are

My favorite Iron Maiden song, it tells a story which it’s mood can be detected by either lyrics or the wonderfully orchestrated instruments

18 minutes of music heaven. I'm surprised any song at all goes above this one... It's 18 minutes too less. Piano, guitar, violin, drums, all in place with the lyrics...

The best song

This is an awesome song. The Final Frontier Album is very progressive and I like it. The other albums were great though too. This song should be a above the Clansmen.

The riff is brilliant! It doesn't actually matter whether it is Bruce or Blaze because I love maiden songs for their riffs! Lyrics are also good in this song, and so is the chorus!

This song is so epic and underrated. Both Blaze and Bruce does it awesome.

The red and the black,
All out of luck again,
How many chances can anyone have?
The red and the black,
Treachery out to win,
There in the wrong place and at the wrong time.

Awesome song, cool story line

Love this track

It's 4 and a half minutes.
