Accident Of Birth

Bruce Dickinson

Journey back to the dark side, back into the womb

Back to where the spirits move like vapor from the tomb

The center of the cyclone, blowing out the sun

Break the shackles of your union to the light



I might've had a brother

As I was born, they dragged him under

To the other side of twilight

He's waiting for me now



Nativity was lost on me

I didn't ask, I couldn't see

What created me

What and where and how



Welcome home - it's been too long, we've missed you

Welcome home - we've opened up the gates

Welcome home - to your brothers and sisters

Welcome home - to an accident of birth



Feel our bodies breathing as you try to stop believing

There's nothing you can do about your shadows

You can fight us, you are like us

And your body will betray you

Lay down and die like all the others



Where are the angels and their wings of freedom?

Jesus had his day off when they pulled you through...



Welcome home - it's been too long, we've missed you

Welcome home - we've opened up the gates

Welcome home - to your brothers and sisters

Welcome home - to an accident of birth

(to an accident of birth)



Vision's growing dim as the daylight fades away

I'm spinning, twisting, black

Well, it's your dying day



Welcome home - it's been too long, we've missed you

Welcome home - we've opened up the gates

Welcome home - to your brothers and sisters

Welcome home - to an accident of birth



Welcome home - it's been too long, we've missed you

Welcome home - we've opened up the gates

Welcome home - to your brothers and sisters

Welcome home - to an accident of birth
