Iron Maiden Heaven Can Wait lyrics

Can't understand what has happened to me
This isn't real, this is only a dream
But I never have felt
No I never have felt this way before

I'm looking down on my body below
I lie asleep in the midst of a dream
Now could it be, the Angel of Death has come for me?
Can't believe, that really my time has come
Don't feel ready, there's so much left undone
And it's my soul and I'm not gonna let it slip away

Heaven can wait, Heaven can wait
Heaven can wait, wait 'til another day
Heaven can wait, Heaven can wait
Heaven can wait, wait 'til another day

I have a lust for the earth below
And Hell itself is my only foe
I've no fear of dying
I'll go when I'm good and ready

I snatch a glimpse of the light's eternal rays
I see a tunnel, stand amazed
At all of the people standing there in front of me
Into the paths of rightness, I'll be led
In the place where the living join the dead?
I wish I knew this was only just a nightmare

Heaven can wait, Heaven can wait
Heaven can wait, wait 'til another day
Heaven can wait, Heaven can wait
Heaven can wait, wait 'til another day


Take my hand, I'll lead you to the promised land
Take my hand, I'll give you immortality
Eternal youth, I'll take you to the other side
To see the truth, the path for you is decided, yeah

My body tingles and I feel so strange
I feel so tired and I feel so drained
And I'm wondering if I'll ever be the same again

Is this a limbo or a Heaven or Hell
Maybe I'm going down there as well
I can't accept, my soul will drift forever

I feel myself floating back down to earth
So could this be the hour of my rebirth
Have I died or will I wake from dreaming?

Heaven can wait, Heaven can wait
Heaven can wait, wait 'til another day
Heaven can wait, Heaven can wait
Heaven can wait, wait 'til another day

Heaven can wait, Heaven can wait
Heaven can wait, wait 'til another day
Heaven can wait, Heaven can wait
Heaven can wait, wait 'til another day

Heaven, Heaven can wait 'til another day
