Reseña
"Piece of Mind", el cuarto álbum de la banda, es una obra crucial en la discografía de Iron Maiden, ya que presenta a la que muchos consideran su formación más clásica y estable. Lanzado en 1983, este disco marca el debut del increíble batería Nicko McBrain, cuya técnica y energía aportaron una nueva dimensión rítmica al sonido del grupo, consolidando la maquinaria de heavy metal perfecta.
Por esta razón, el álbum es un tour de force de virtuosismo y composiciones complejas. La banda se sumerge de lleno en temáticas literarias e históricas, demostrando una ambición lírica poco común en el género. De hecho, canciones como "Where Eagles Dare", basada en la novela de Alistair MacLean, o la icónica "The Trooper", que narra la Carga de la Brigada Ligera, son ejemplos perfectos de esta fusión de metal y cultura.
Además, el disco contiene otras joyas imperecederas como "Flight of Icarus", uno de sus temas más melódicos y accesibles, y la enigmática "Revelations". Ciertamente, la interacción entre las guitarras gemelas de Dave Murray y Adrian Smith alcanza aquí un nuevo nivel de sofisticación, creando armonías y duelos que se convertirían en la marca de la casa.
En resumen, "Piece of Mind" es una obra maestra del heavy metal. Es un álbum que no solo introdujo a un miembro fundamental en la banda, sino que también elevó el listón en términos de complejidad musical y profundidad lírica. Por lo tanto, es un trabajo esencial que afianzó el sonido y la temática que definirían a Iron Maiden en su época más gloriosa.

- Where Eagles DareVer letra 6:08
[X]letra de Where Eagles Dare
It's snowing outside the rumbling sound
Of engines roar in the night
The mission is near the confident men
Are waiting to drop from the sky
The blizzard goes on but still they must fly
No one should go where eagles dare
Bavarian alps that lay all around
They seem to stare from below
The enemy lines a long time passed
Are lying deep in the snow
Into the night they fall through the sky
No one should fly where eagles dare
They're closing in the fortress is near
It's standing high in the sky
The cable car's the only way in
It's really impossible to climb
They make their way but maybe too late
They've got to try to save the day
The panicking cries the roaring of guns
Are echoing all round the valley
The mission complete the make to escape
Away from the eagles nest
They dared to go where no one would try
They chose to fly where eagles dare - RevelationsVer letra 6:51
[X]letra de Revelations
O God of earth and altar
Bow down and hear our cry
Our earthly rulers falter
Our peolple drift and die
The walls of gold entombe us
The swords of scorn divide
Take not thy thunder from us
But take away our pride
(G. K. Chesterton: english hymnal)
Just a babe in a black abyss
No reason for a place like this
The walls are cold and souls cry out in pain
An easy way for the blind to go
A clever path for the fools who know
The secret of the hanged man - the smile on his lips
The light of the blind you'll see
The venom that tears my spine
The eyes of the nile are opening - you'll see
She came to me with a serpents kiss
As the eye of the sun rose on her lips
Moonlight catches silver tears I cry
So we lay in a black embrace
And the seed is sown in a holy place
And I watched and I waited for the dawn
The light of the blind you'll see
The venom that tears my spine
The eyes of the nile are opening - you'll see
Bind all of us together
Ablaze of hope and free
No storm or heavy weather
Will rock the boat you'll see
The time has come to close your eyes
And still the wind and rain
For the one who will be king
The watcher in the ring
It is youComposición: Bruce Dickinson - Flight of IcarusVer letra 3:49
[X]letra de Flight of Icarus
As the sun breaks above the ground
An old man stands on the hill
As the ground warms to the first rays of light
A birdsong shatters the still
His eyes are ablaze
See the madman in his gaze
Fly on your way like an eagle
Fly as high as the sun
On your wings like an eagle
Fly and touch the sun
Now the crowd breaks and a young boy appears
Look the old man in his eyes
As he spreads his wings and shouts at the crowd
In the name of God my father I fly
His eyes seem so glazed
As he flies on the wings of a dream
Now he knows his father betrayed
Now his wings burn to ashes to ashes his grave
Fly on your way like an eagle
Fly as high as the sun
On your wings like an eagle
Fly and touch the sunComposición: Adrian Smith (2), Bruce Dickinson - Die With Your Boots OnVer letra 5:22
[X]letra de Die With Your Boots On
(Smith/Dickinson/Harris)
Yeah! Another Prophet of Disaster
Who says the ship is lost,
Another Prophet of Disaster
Leaving you to count the cost.
Taunting us with Visions,
Afflicting us with fear,
Predicting War for millions,
In the hope that one appears.
[Chorus:]
No point asking when it is,
No point asking who's to go,
No point asking what's the game,
No point asking who's to blame.
Cause if you're gonna die, if you're gonna die,
Cause if you're gonna die, if you're gonna die,
If you're gonna die, die with your boots on.
If you're gonna try, just stick around,
Gonna cry, just move along,
If you're gonna die, you're gonna die.
In 13 the Beast is rising,
The Frenchman did surmise,
Through earthquakes and starvation,
The warlord will arise.
Terror, Death, Destruction,
Pour from the Eastern Sands,
But the truth of all predictions,
Is always in your hands.
(Repeat chorus)
They died with their boots on, yes they diiieeeed...
The day they die with their boots on, we dieeeeeeeeeee
We die!
We die!
We die!
We die!
We die!
(Repeat chorus)Composición: Adrian Smith (2), Bruce Dickinson, Steve Harris - The Trooper 4:10

[X]letra de Still Life
Take a look in the pool and what do you see
In the dark depths there faces beckoning me
Can't you see them it's plain for all to see
They where there oh I know you don't believe me
Oh... I never felt so strange
But... I'm not going insane
I've no doubt that you think I'm off my head
You don't say but it's in your eyes instead
Hours I spend out just gazing into that pool
Something draws me there I don't know what to do
Oh... They drain my strength away
Oh... They're asking me to stay
Nightmares... Spirits calling me
Nightmares... They won't leave me be
All my life's blood is slowly draining away
And I feel that I'm weaker every day
Somehow I know I haven't long to go
Joining them at the bottom of the pool
Now... I feel they are so near
I... Begin to see them clear
Nightmares... Coming all in time
Nightmares... Will give me piece of mind
Now it's clear and I know what I have to do
I must take you down there to look at them too
Hand in hand then we'll jump right into that pool
Can't you see not just me they want you too
Oh... We'll drown together
It... Will be forever
Nightmares... Forever calling me
Nightmares... Now we rest in peaceComposición: Dave Murray (2), Steve Harris - Quest for FireVer letra 3:40
[X]letra de Quest for Fire
In time when dinosaurs walked the earth
When the land was swamp and caves where home
In an age when prize possession was fire
To search for landscapes men would roam
Then the tribes they came to steal the fire
And the wolves they howled into the night
As they fought a viscious angry battle
To save the power of warmth and light
Drawn by quest for fire
They searched all through the land
Drawn by quest for fire
Discovery of man
And they thought that when the embers died away
That the flame of life had burnt and died
Didn't know the sparks that made the fire
Were made by rubbing stick and stone
So they ploughed through forest and swamps of danger
And they fought the cannibal tribes and beasts
In the search to find another fire
To regain the power of light and heat
Drawn by quest for fire
They searched across the land
Drawn by quest for fire
Discovery of manComposición: Steve Harris - Sun and SteelVer letra 3:25
[X]letra de Sun and Steel
(Dickinson/Smith)
You killed your first man at 13,
Killer instinct, Animal supreme,
By 16 you had learned to fight
The way of the warrior, you took it as your right.
Sunlight, falling on your steel,
Death in life is your ideal,
Life is like a wheel.
Through earth and water, fire and wind,
You came at last-nothing was the end,
I'll make a cut by fire and stones,
Take you and your blade and break you both in two
Break you both in two.
Sunlight, falling on your steel,
Death in life is your ideal,
Life is like a wheel.
And it's rolling still.Composición: Adrian Smith (2), Bruce Dickinson - To Tame a LandVer letra 7:37
[X]letra de To Tame a Land
He is the king of all the land
In the kingdom of the sands
Of a time tomorrow
He rules the sandworms and the fremen
In a land amongst the stars
Of an age tomorrow
He is destined to be a king
He rules over everything
On the land called planet dune
Bodywater is your life
And without it you would die
On the desert the planet dune
Without the stillsuit you would fry
On the sands so hot and dry
In a world called arrakis
It is a land that's rich in spice
The sandriders and the 'mice'
That they call the muad' dib
He is the kwizatz haderach
He is born of caladan
And will take the gom jabbar
He has the power to foresee
Or to look into the past
He is the ruler of the stars
The time will come for him
To lay claim his crown
And then the foe yes
They'll be cut down
You'll see he'll be the
Best that there's been
Messiah supreme
True leader of men
And when the time
For judgement's at hand
Don't fret he's strong
And he'll make a stand
Against evil the fire
That spreads through the land
He has the power
To make it all endComposición: Steve Harris
