Iron Maiden?

Iron Maiden might have have dark/occult themes in some of their songs, but only in a fictional way, for the purpose of storytelling. They in no way endorse satanism or black magic.

KNOWLEDGE BOMB replies:

so then porn isn't porn if it's for telling a story? LoL.... When it comes to maiden I've always said after you have over 30 songs that start with the word "the" it's time to hang it up.....

 

[KNOWLEDGE BOMB]

Zach you say it's fictional to tell a story...


And what story would that be?

 

[KNOWLEDGE BOMB]

I'll say one thing about maiden... Atleast their not as blind to the new world order aka the Antichrist kingdom as most Christians.... Just look at their power slave world slavery tour and you have it all...


That's why our great seal of the united states on the dollar bill is a pyramid with the eye of horus..... Horus the new age Christ....

If you like girls you sing about girls And things to do with girls
if you like drugs you sing about drugs and things to do with drugs
if you like the thug life you sing about it


And if you like Satan you sing about Satan and those things associated with him

Really quite simple

Then CS Lewis likes demons? He wrote a book about them (Screwtape Letters)
The writers of the Bible like murder, rape, pillaging, etc.? They wrote about it
Then Christians like Satan? They talk about him and those things associated with him all the time

I feel your premise is flawed at the very basis. Just because you sing about a subject does NOT mean you like it, participate in it, etc.

This thread seems like an interesting discussion.

If you sing about something and you glorify it, then it means that you like it. Several people on this thread have stated that Iron Maiden's lyrics only sing about evil in a storytelling sort of way, but they don't glorify it. However, the lyrics to iron maiden's song "lord of light" seem very anti christian to me. If anyone disagrees with me, please explain why. I will post the lyrics. IRON MAIDEN LYRICS - Lord Of Light

There are secrets that you keep
There are secrets that you keep
There are secrets that you tell to me alone
I can't reach things I can't see
You don't see this strange world
Quite the same as me
Don't deny me what I am
Nothing hidden still you fail to see the truth
These are things you can't reveal
These are things you can't reveal

We are part of some strange plan
Why the slaughter of the brotherhood of man
Infernal sacrifice of hell
Fire breathing lead the way
Mounds of bodies as they all burn into one
Revenge is living in the past
Time to look into a new millennium

Spiral path leads through the maze
Down into the fiery underworld below
Fire breathing lead the way
Lucifer was just an angel led astray

Free your soul and let it fly
Give your life to the Lord of Light
Keep your secrets and rain on me
All I see are mysteries

Free your soul and let it fly
Give your life to the Lord of Light
Keep your secrets and rain on me
All I see are mysteries

We are not worthy in your black and blazing eyes
We gather demons in the mirror every day
The bridge of darkness casts a shadow on us all
And all our sins to you we give this day

Others wait their turn their lives were meant to last
Use yours wisely as the light is fading fast
Free your soul and let it fly
Mine was caught I couldn't try
Time returns again to punish all of us

We are cast out by our bloody fathers hand
We are strangers in this lonely promised land
We are shadows of the one unholy ghost
In our nightmare world the only one we trust

Free your soul and let it fly
Give your life to the Lord of Light
Keep your secrets and rain on me
All I see are mysteries

Free your soul and let it fly
Give your life to the Lord of Light
Keep your secrets and rain on me
All I see are mysteries

A. What are your thoughts on Iron Maiden being satanic?

Well if they have a professing Christian in the band and Bruce Dickinson votes Conservative, I'd say they're about as Satanist as Hitler was an artist.

B. Did they have any pentagrams on their albums? If so, what albums and where?

Don't recall any.

C. On their albums I have seen these little icons, figures and its like a face, and it is a circle with an arrow pointing downwards, and an arrow to the eye. You can see it on the bottom of their single, The Trooper. Do you have any idea what it is? If so, what is it and is it good or bad?

Never noticed it, I just listen to the music.

If Iron Maiden isn't a satanic band, then why do they sing, "give your life to the lord of light"? The lyrics to that song are very anti christian (they're posted above.) Also, if iron maiden isn't an evil band, why does bruce dickinson like aleister crowley so much? He even made a movie about him.

Bruce Dickinson said that the song "lord of light" is about lucifer, and he also said, "maybe the guy downstairs (ie, the devil) got a rough deal".

Iron Maiden - Making of A Matter of Life and Death - Part 4 - YouTube

Read the lyrics to that song.

LORD OF LIGHT LYRICS - IRON MAIDEN

The lyrics say, "give your life to the lord of light". The lyrics to that song are very satanic and anti-christian.

I looked up what the "Lord of Light" is, and google told me this: "The Lord of Light is the god of fire, which provides light, heat, and life." It is not satanic, but a fake god.
