Bruce Dickinson's long-awaited new solo album comes out this Friday...

As some of you may have known as far back as before my ban from USM in 2008, I am a huge Iron Maiden fan. Been listening to them since about August-September 2004. Well, their lead singer Bruce Dickinson will be releasing his seventh solo studio album on March 1st, 'The Mandrake Project'. I am pretty excited for it and am setting my phone alarm. Lol. It's a big deal, because for one, Bruce hasn't released a solo album since 2005. Almost 20 years ago. Also, there had been talk about his solo work on and off for some years now. A couple songs may have even been recorded as far back as the past decade, or the latter 2000s. Nevertheless, a couple songs from the new work have been released the past couple months; 'Afterglow of Ragnarok' and 'Rain on The Graves'. There had been a lot of talk going into 2022 about Bruce's new solo album, and I was hoping we'd get a surprise then. Well, here we are five days away.



I am your very soul The one you do not know I am the truth that's playing hide and seek And I will not be free I cannot choose to be Till my creator takes the chains off me

All is come to nothing All will burn in Hell Now the bridge has broken All is overcome

I crossed the shining seas Eyes of creatures follow me Moonlight guides us on a steady course

Afterglow of Ragnarok Becomes the shadow of the dawn From the night the sun will rise again Again!

For me, there's no escape No opening of the gate Incarnate freedom just a hopeless dream

I read your silent mind I feel your hate refined And the burning will begin in the circle of lust

All is come to nothing Saved but you can't run Now the bridge has broken All is overcome

I crossed the shining seas Eyes of creatures follow me Moonlight guides us on a steady course

Afterglow of Ragnarok Becomes the shadow of the dawn From the night the sun will rise again Again!

All has come to nothing The world is only dust Now the bridge is broken There's a fire in the ice

All has come to nothing All is burned in Hell Now the bridge has broken

I crossed the shining seas Eyes of creatures follow me Moonlight guides us on a steady course

Afterglow of Ragnarok Becomes the shadow of the dawn From the night the sun will rise again Again!

Afterglow of Ragnarok...

Afterglow Afterglow of Ragnarok...
