The Reincarnation of Benjamin Breeg

About The Reincarnation of Benjamin Breeg

"The Reincarnation of Benjamin Breeg" is a song by Iron Maiden from their fourteenth studio album, A Matter of Life and Death. The song is the leading single from the album, released on 14 August 2006. The CD single comes with a B-side of "Hallowed Be Thy Name" from the BBC Radio 1 Legends Session. Due to the overall length of the two songs, the single was not eligible for chart inclusion in the UK. The single was also released on 10" clear vinyl single, which includes BBC Sessions versions of "The Trooper" and "Run to the Hills" on the B-side. For the EU pressing of the 10" vinyl the sleeve and labels state that it should be played at 33.3 RPM. This is actually incorrect and the correct playing speed is 45 RPM. The USA issue plays correctly at 33.3 RPM. A promotional version of the single was released on 14 August 2006, featuring the full version and a shorter version called "edited version" in the US promo CD and "rock club mix" in the UK promo CD (both versions are identical). The single was not allowed to have a place in the UK charts because the overall music time on the CD exceeded the time limit for it to be classed as a single. On 17 July 2006, a music video for the song was uploaded on the band's official website. It had initially been released only for paying fan club members, but it was leaked within minutes and viewed by many fans who posted the link on various Iron Maiden discussion forums. The video displays them performing in the studio along with classic photos and clips of the band over their lengthy career. more »

Let me tell you 'bout my life, 
Let me tell you 'bout my dreams, 
Let me tell you 'bout the thing that happen, all is real to me. 
Let me tell you of my hope, of my need to reach the sky, 
Let me take you on an awkward journey, let me tell you why. 
Let me tell you why 

Why should these curses be laid upon me, 
I won't be forgiven 'til I can break free, 
What did I do to deserve all this guilt, 
Pay for my sins, for the sale of my soul. 

Demons are trapped all inside my head, 
My hopes of god, reach for heaven from hell, 
My sins are many, my guilt is too heavy, 
The question of knowing of how then what I know? 

I'm able to see things, things that I don't wanna see, 
The lies of a thousand souls weigh heavy down on me 

I know they're crying for help reaching out 
The burden of them will take me down as well 
The sin of a tohusand souls knocked out in vain 
Reincarnation of me live again 

Someone to save me, 
Something to save me from myself 
To bring salvation 
To exorcise this hell 
Someone to save me, 
Something to save me from myself 
To bring Salvation 
To exorcise this hell 

Someone to save me 
Something to save me from my hell 
Our destination away from this nightmare 
Someone to save me 
Something to save me from myself 
To bring salvation 
To exorcise this hell
