Reseña
"Killers" es el segundo álbum de estudio de Iron Maiden. Lanzado el 2 de febrero de 1981 en el Reino Unido por EMI Records y el 6 de junio en Estados Unidos por Harvest y Capitol Records, fue el primero en contar con su nuevo guitarrista, que sustituía al despedido Dennis Stratton.
También es el último trabajo en la discografía de Iron Maiden en que aparece el vocalista Paul Di'Anno, quien fue despedido durante la gira posterior debido a los problemas que ocasionaba en las actuaciones por su consumo excesivo de alcohol y cocaína.
La producción corrió a cargo del británico Martin Birch, que acompañaría a la banda durante sus siguientes álbumes. Las grabaciones se realizaron en el estudio Battery de Londres, entre noviembre de 1980 y enero de 1981.
El álbum, escrito de forma casi exclusiva por su líder y bajista, Steve Harris, pasó ocho semanas en las listas de éxitos de Reino Unido. La versión estadounidense se vio reforzada por un tema adicional, "Twilight Zone".
La gira "Killer World Tour" fue la primera que llevó a Iron Maiden a Estados Unidos, actuando por primera vez en las Vegas, como teloneros de Judas Priest.

[X]letra de Wrathchild
(Steve Harris)
I was born into a scene of angriness and greed, and dominance and persecution.
My mother was a queen, my dad I've never seen, I was never meant to be.
And now I spend my time looking all around,
For a man that's nowhere to be found.
Until I find him I'm never gonna stop searching,
I'm gonna find my man, gonna travel around.
[Chorus:]
Cause I'm a wrathchild, well I'm a wrathchild.
Yeah I'm a wrathchild. I'm coming to get you, oooh yeah.
Say it doesn't matter ain't nothin' gonna alter the course of my destination.
I know I've got to find some serious piece of mind, or I know I'll go crazy.
But now I spend my time looking all around,
For a man that's nowhere to be found.
Until I find him I'm never gonna stop searching,
I'm gonna find my man, gonna travel around.
[Chorus:] - Murders In The Rue MorgueVer letra 4:19
[X]letra de Murders In The Rue Morgue
I remember it as plain as day
Although it happened in the dark of the night.
I was strolling through the streets of paris
And it was cold it was starting to rain.
And then I heard a piercing scream
And I rushed to the scene of the crime
But all I found was the butchered remains
Of two girls lay side by side.
Murders in the rue morgue
Someone call the gendarmes
Murders in the rue morgue
Run before the killers go free
There's some people coming down the street
At last there's someone heard my call
I can't understand why they're pointing at me
I never done nothing at all.
But I must have got some blood on my hands
Because everyone's shouting at me
I can't speak french so I couldn't explain
And like a fool I started running away.
Murders in the rue morgue
Someone call the gendarmes
Murders in the rue morgue
Am I ever gonna be free.
And now I've gotta get away from the arms of the law.
All france is looking for me.
I've gotta find my way across the border for sure
Down the south to italy.
Murders in the rue morgue
Someone call the gendarmes
Murders in the rue morgue
I'm never going home.
Well I made it to the border at last
But I can't erase the scene from my mind
Anytime somebody stares at me, well
I just start running blind
Well I'm moving through the shadows at night
Away from the staring eyes
Any day they'll be looking for me
'cause I know I show the signs of...
Murders in the rue morgue
Running from the gendarmes
Murders in the rue morgue
Running from the arms of the law
Murders in the rue morgue
Running from the gendarmes
Murders in the rue morgue
Am I ever gonna be free
It took so long and I'm getting so tired
I'm running out of places to hide
Should I return to the scene of the crime
Where the two young victims died
If I could go to somebody for help
It'd get me out of trouble for sure
But I know that it's on my mind
That my doctor said I've done it before.
Murders in the rue morgue
They're never gonna find me
Murders in the rue morgue
I'm never going home. - Another LifeVer letra 3:24
[X]letra de Another Life
As I lay here is lying on my bed.
Sweet voices come into my head.
What it is I wanna know.
Please won't you tell me it's got to go.
There's a felling that's inside me.
Telling me to get away.
But I'm so tired of living.
I might as well end today. - Genghis KhanVer letra 3:09
[X]letra de Genghis Khan
Yo, your mother, your father and you brother, no your sister.
Ole ole, ole ole
Baby, go go go go come on eveybody sing with me oups I did it again!
Hit me baby three mores tim and who let's the dog out!
Hey, lai ho mar, ngo ho mar
Ohhh, tieu cay lei loy moy!

[X]letra de Innocent Exile
My life is so empty, nothing to live for.
My mind is all confusion, cause I defied the law.
When you weren't there to help me, I lost my mind and ran.
I never had no trouble before this all began.
My life is so empty, nothing to live for.
My mind is all confusion, cause I defied the law.
When you weren't there to help me, I lost my mind and ran.
I never had no trouble before this all began.
I'm running away, no where to go.
I'm lost and tired and I just don't know. Yeah...
They say I killed a woman, they know it isn't true.
They're just trying to frame me, and all because of you. - KillersVer letra 5:02
[X]letra de Killers
You walk through the subway,
His eyes burn a hole in your back,
A footstep behind you, he lunges prepared for attack.
Scream for mercy, he laughs as he's watching you bleed,
Killer behind you, his blood lust defies all his needs.
My innocent victims are slaughtered with wrath and despise,
The mocking religion of hatred that burns in the night.
I have no one, I'm bound to destroy all this greed,
A voice inside me compelling to satisfy me.
I can see what a knife's meant to be,
And you'll never know how I came to forsee, see, see.
My faith in believing is stronger than lifelines and ties,
With the glimmer of metal my moment is ready to strike.
Death call arises, a scream breaks the still of the night,
Another tomorrow, remember to walk in the light!
I have found you, and now there is no place to run,
Excitement shakes me, oh God help me what have I done? !
Oooh yeah, I've done it!
Yeeeeaaaaaaaahhhh!
You walk through the subway,
My eyes burn a hole in your back,
A footstep behind you, he lunges prepared for attack.
Scream for mercy, he laughs as he's watching you bleed,
Killer behind you, my blood lust defies all my needs.
Oooh look out, I'm coming for you!
Ahahahaha! - Prodigal SonVer letra 6:13
[X]letra de Prodigal Son
Listen to me lamia, listen to what I've got to say.
I've got these feelings, and they won't go away.
I've got these fears inside that'll bring me to my knees.
Oh help me lamia or I'm sure I'll die, oh please.
I feel unsettled, now I know that I've done wrong.
I've messed around with mystic things
And magic for too long.
I feel I'm being paid with this nightmare inside me,
The devil's got a hold on my soul
And he just won't let me be.
I'm on my knees, oh help me please.
I'm on my knees, help me please.
Oh lamia please try to help me.
The devil's got a hold of my soul and he won't let me be.
Lamia I've got this curse, I'm turning to bad.
The devil's got a hold of my soul, and it's driving me mad.
Oh lamia please try to help me.
The devil's got a hold of my soul and he won't let me be.
Lamia I've got this curse, I'm turning to bad.
The devil's got a hold of my soul,
And it's driving me mad. Oh - PurgatoryVer letra 3:20
[X]letra de Purgatory
(Steve Harris)
Thinking of an age old dream, places I have never seen,
Fantasies lived times before.
I split my brain, melt through the floor.
Over clouds my mind will fly, forever now I can't think why.
My body tries to leave my soul.
Or is it me, I just don't know.
Mem'ries rising from the past, the future's shaddow overcast.
Something's clutching at my head, through the darkness I'll be led.
Oh another time, another place.
Oh another smile on another face.
When you see me floating up beside you,
You get the feeling that all my love's inside of you.
Please take me away, take me away, so far away.
Please take me away, take me away, so far away.
Please take me away, take me away, so far away.
Thinking of an age old dream, places I have never seen,

Please take me away, take me away, so far away.
Please take me away, take me away, so far away.
Please take me away, take me away, so far away. - Twilight ZoneVer letra 2:34
[X]letra de Twilight Zone
She lays in bed at night and that is when I make my call.
But when she stares at me, she can't see nothing at all,
Because you see I can't take no shape or form.
It's been three long years since I've been gone.
I can't get used to purgatory, you know it really makes me cry,
I'll never know the reason why I had to go.
I'm crying,
Deep inside me,
Can't you see me?
Can't you see me?
I'm looking forward to her spirit coming over to me.
I feel so tempted to bring her over to see,
Just what it's like to be hanging on the other side.
I feel so lonely, it's a long time since I died.
I try to show her that she's never gonna be alone,
Because my spirit is imprisoned in the Twilight Zone.
I'm crying,
Deep inside me,
Can't you hear me?
Can't you see me? - DrifterVer letra 4:51
