i dont know what that word means but to comment back not trying to start an argument... i read the whole entire song about it... it seems to me its about drugs cause it explains alot of the stages from coming off, wanting it, and the climax

I think it's about Romeo & Juliet. 'slept in the dust with his daughter' 'Him' sounds suspiciously like Lord Capulet 'Her eyes red with the slaughter of innocence' Juliet has to suffer because of the slaughter of innocence, the killing of Mercutio 'But I will pray for you And some day I may return Don't you cry for me Beyond is where I learn' All that is after he is banished from Verona. And the dust part might refer to the fact that their engagement was secret. Awesome song.

The quote is from William Shakespeare's "Julius Caesar". The exact line(s) are: "The evil that men do lives after them, the good is oft interred with their bones, So let it be with Caesar". The main line draws from this now commonplace saying. The end seems to referrence the Revelations of John, "The seventh lamb slain, the book of life opens before me". The following lyrics seem to support this as well. The first seems a bit out of place, but "Love is a razor" is another quote from somewhere. All in all this song is totally killer and Maiden rules! \m/ UP THE IRONS! \m/

Comes from a Shakespearean phrase "The good that men do, is often interred with their bones. But the Evil that men do lives on" pretty damn wiked song tho. The video of it live from Rock in Rio is particually good :D
