Iron Maiden: The Rime of the Ancient Mariner

Day after day, day after day,
We stuck, nor breath nor motion;
As idle as a painted ship
Upon a painted ocean.


Water, water, every where,
And all the boards did shrink;
Water, water, every where,
Nor any drop to drink.

The Rime of the Ancient Mariner by Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Inspirada no poema com o mesmo nome de Samuel Coleridge, este é um dos temas mais marcantes do fantástico Powerslave. Um disco incontornável na história do Hard Rock / Heavy Metal e, obviamente, da história dos Maiden. PS: Neste momento devo estar em alto mar entre o continente e os Açores, espero, com menos problemas...

Inspired by the poem with the same name by Samuel Coleridge, this is one of the most striking themes of the fantastic Powerslave. An essential album in the history of Hard Rock / Heavy Metal and of course the history of Maiden. PS: Right now I must be on the high seas between the mainland and the Azores, I hope, with less problems...
