be quick or be dead
 

covered in sinners and dripping with gilt

making you money from slime and from filth

parading your bellies in ivory towers

investing our lives in your schemes and your powers



you got to wacth them - be quick or be dead

snake eyes in heaven - the thief in your head

you've got to watch them - be quick or be dead

snake eyes in heaven - the thief in your head....



be quick !

or be dead !

be quick !

or be dead



see... what's rulling all our lives

see... who pulling the strings...

i bet you won't fall on your face

your belly will hold you in place



the serpent is crawling inside of your ear

he says must vote for what you want to hear

don't matter what's wrong as long as you're alright

so pull yourself stupid and rob yourself blind.



you got to wacth them - be quick or be dead

snake eyes in heaven - the thief in your head

you've got to watch them - be quick or be dead

snake eyes in heaven - the thief in your head....



be quick!

or be dead!

be quick!

or be dead!



şeklinde sözleri olan iron maiden şarkısı...



bkz. fear of the dark)

yüksek gaz içeren,dinlerken insanın nevrinin döndüğü muhteşem iron maiden parçası

koş yoksa düşersin sloganını anımsatır tümce.

parçanın başında bruce* abimiz öyle bir çığlık atmaktadır ki insanın tüylerini diken diken eder.

bruce dickinson'ın öyle bir be quick or be dead diyişi vardır ki hemen abi, yapma abi dersiniz. öfkesini dindirmek lazım tabi.

fear of the dark albümünün giriş parçasıdır.
