Iron Maiden
Speed of Light
[Verse 1]
Another time, another place, a hollow universe in space
I took a trip to see the sights, I will be blacker than the night
One-way ticket, no return, my shootin' star, so fast it burns
On the edge that you can't see let's shoot the moon, you and me
I'm not particular, you see, just a lonesome galaxy

[Chorus]
Shadows in the stars, we will not return
Humanity won't save us at the speed of light
Shadows in the stars, we will not return
Humanity won't save us, we slip into the night

[Verse 2]
I'll say a mass for you and wave, shootin' plasma from my grave
Event horizon, lost in space, runnin' in a human race
I don't know where; I don't know when
But somehow back there, time again
I'm on the edge that you can't see, I’m not particular at night
A single particle of me you won’t be tracking me by sight

[Chorus]
Shadows in the stars, we will not return
Humanity won't save us at the speed of light
Shadows in the stars, we will not return
Humanity won't save us, we slip into the night
[Instrumental Break]
[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
Shadows in the stars, we will not return
Humanity won't save us at the speed of light
Shadows in the stars, we will not return
Humanity won't save us, at the speed of light

[Chorus]
Shadows in the stars, we will not return
Humanity won't save us at the speed of light
Shadows in the stars, we will not return
Humanity won't save us, at the speed of light

[Outro]
We slip into the night
