Saturday Classics Iron Maiden - Children of the Damned
"Children of the Damned" perustuu elokuviin Village of the Damned ja Children of the Damned , jotka puolestaan ovat sovituksia John Wyndhamin romaanista The Midwich Cuckoos . Viimeisessä BBC Radio 6:n radio-ohjelmassaan , edesmenneelle Ronnie James Diolle osoitetussa osiossa , Dickinson mainitsi, että Children of the Damned oli saanut inspiraationsa Black Sabbathin " Children of the Sea " -kappaleesta.

[Verse 1]
He's walking like a small child
But watch his eyes burn you away
Black holes in his golden stare
God knows he wants to go home
[Chorus]
Children of the damned
Children of the damned
Children of the damned
Children of the damned
[Verse 2]
He's walking like a dead man
If he had lived he would've crucified us all
Now he's standing on his last step
He thought, "Oblivion? Well, it beckons us all"
[Chorus]
Children of the damned
Children of the damned
Children of the damned
Children of the damned
[Bridge]
Now it's burning his hands, he's turning to laugh
Smiles as the flame sears his flesh
Melting his face, screaming in pain
Peeling the skin from his eyes
Watch him die according to plan
He's dust on the ground, what did we learn?
[Instrumental Break]
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
[Outro]
You're children of the damned
Your backs' against the wall
You turn into the light
You're burning in the night
You're children of the damned
Like candles, watch them burn
Burning in the light
You'll burn again tonight
Children of the damned
