So I took my mirror and retranscripted all I saw into readable words. Here they are, for your
purpose !

I don't belong to nation state or dying race
Why are we running in this space race ?
Yes Yes I'd float around till gravity's end
Secret knowledge Science logic all are gone
Back to Lyrics menu
Back from the edge where the darkness has fled
I felt from grace and that's a fact
Back from the fear
Now and then I wonder where the faces
Back from the edge
Back to Lyrics menu
Smiling with strangers
Fingers crawl through pages
Inertia
A ragged pile of silent accusers
Like paper lanterns now
Inertia
Back to Lyrics menu
How many more times, till I breakout
I wish it had a happy end
You got everything you want
How many screaming fights...

Spend my days and nights
Solar confinement ( 3 times )
I've slept with many strangers
It's cold and lonely in the sun
Spend my days and nights
A lonely boy sits in his room
Back to Lyrics menu
Something for nothing
It's a dreamstate, a dreamstate
You say I'm nothing
Your expectations... your reservations
It's a dreamstate, a dreamstate
Now I'm standing up here before the Judge
Eyes above me, eyes above me
In a dreamstate, a dreamstate
Back to Lyrics menu
I must not push forward... No ( 3 times )
I will not believe your lies ( 3 times )
Never get there
Well hold on... hold on... hold on
I will not accept your truth
Coming back now, rising up now
I will not accept your truth

Strange face of beauty
It blinks and stares right at me
You won't believe what it can do
Inside the machine, the web has got you now
I's strap my DNA to it
I sit and we crackle with static
Inside the machine, we're looking for control
Inside the machine, the web has got you now
Back to Lyrics menu
Your eyes are black as they see the red ball of the sun, but they're blind
Like father like son chop off the head but the body lives on
Like father like son chop off the head but the body lives on
Back to Lyrics menu
You use me for bait your begging bowl of lies
Were you my friend when I belonged ?
Cold... like your blood, the snake is always cool ( cool )
It's over now my friend
Back to Lyrics menu
Now dislocated, jagged pieces
Where we came from
How many times have we met this way
Back to Lyrics menu
So take a trip with me, across the bridge of lunacy
I've thrown away my images, they're all so distant now
I'd rather move around and be than figure out life and what it means
Our glory days have just begun
Back to Lyrics menu
Brighter than sunshine for all of our lifetimes
Where were you when it fell from the sky ?
People were kissing in fron tof their shadows
Where were you when it fell from the sky ?
Strange death in Paradise ( 6 times )
Skunkworks, the third solo album of Bruce Dickinson ( mmmh, nearly solo because he had a band
called Skunkworks... which has been fired before the recording of his last album : Accident Of
Birth ) has a strange lyrics booklet : everything is written upside-down in the way you need a
mirror to read the lyrics.

Space Race
Yes Yes I'd launch into the rising sun
My living breath is measured
Every step is done
Fare you well my friends
See you down the line
Yeah Yeah
I have my prejudice
With you my religion's in space
So have a little respect
Why are we acting like we own the place ?
Just want to feel the starlight on my face
Reach out my hand and touch beyond...
Unity is coming singular again
See you then my friends at the end of time
Yeah Yeah
Nothing left but burning up into the sun
On a cosmic beach I'll see ya there
Back From The Edge
A silent river flowing black
Strange attractors no turning back
Present danger I recall
That pins my senses to the wall
And I'm swimming in light and I'm falling...
Falling from the edge
Back from the edge
I still have urges that I fight back
Caid decisions wear me thin
Kill yourself... begin again
That you're not worth a damn
Throw yourself into light
And the rush as you spin from the edge...
Back from the edge...
From my childhood have gone ?
Like father like son in your bones
It lives on glowing shadows
Back from the edge
Inertia
These are the pictures
These are the feelings from the front line
Living in silence
Feeling the deafness like heavy smoke
Couting the days
Like a spring called up inside
Welcome to your future
Welcome to your book of lies
Nothing changes living here...
No wish to move at all
Inertia
Everything's a stone wall
Inertia
History lets you die
Smell the blood of strangers here
No eyes, no ears, no smell, no taste
The mouth of the maggot is full of this place
Murdered conscience the pressure is crushing heads
Unbreakable grip a dead hand
Driving us forward to the end
Kicking through the traces
A thousand years from now
No wish to think at all
Inertia
Everything's a stone wall
Inertia
History lets you die
Faith
You knew I wouldn't go
That's why you threatened me... would I stay ?
Said I was sick and 'd be alone
Said my mind was not my own, I didn't run
You crawled up on your knees
A victims pretty please
Would I stay ? Would I stay ?... and I stayed
From that guilty mess
You taught me to hate to love you
That's because you love to hate yourself
Like the fairy tales pretend there can be
But things are not the same
When your life love was a game
Of make believe
But not everything you need
Ant it's true... you receive... what you achieve
Tears of rage until it ended
How many more times...
Till I say who I am
And don't pretend
Solar Confinement
Trapped inside a web of fiery gravity that fuels all our needs
Chaotic energy that sucks the life from H to HE
All life withers in the sun
I deny what I have done
In roaring walls of crimson fire
Solar distress flares
So fission fusion fission makes good senses
Where I laid my head, my troubles
I put down to experience
I deny what I have done
In roaring walls of crimson fire
His curtains hide the sun
Confess to what you've done
And no one understands
Dreamstate
Well you bred me
Well you fed me
Well you made me what I am
Good for nothing
Well....
To kill me with kindness you'll just have to wait
You say I'm nothing
Never gonna be something, well then...
That's the life for me
Aw... c'mon please...
You bought into the vision so you don't have to wait
A dreamstate of bliss, a dreamstate of bliss
A dreamstate...
Juries got their heads where the sun don't shine
Everybody's lying on my case, they're lying on my
Lying on my...
Lying on my...
Lying on my case
Never realised there was someone else in here
No resolution, and no conclusion
Do I believe ?
You fell for it sucker, you fell for the bait
A dreamstate of bliss, a dreamstate of bliss
A dreamstate...
I Will Not Accept The Truth
I will not accept the truth ( 3 times )
That I'll never get there no way
Because I'll never get there
Never get there... no way
You say I will never get there
I will not accept your lies
I will not acknowledge pain
I will survive and live again
Hold on ( 6 times )
I will not accept your truth
Inside The Machine
I've got myself a widget
A gizmo with wires
And Martian intent yeah
That's my machine
Sees nothing but in its wires
A strange thing of beauty
That's my machine
It tells me things I never wished I knew
Like the mirror when you ask
It tells you true
Inside the machine, yeah
A living device, the light of my life, yeah
Strange thing of beauty
That's my machine
It makes no sense to have experience when
A strange thing of beauty
That's my machine
Inside the machine, we're part of it somehow
Inside the machine, yeah
Inside the machine, you're part of it somehow
Inside the machine, we're looking for control
Inside the machine, yeah
Headswitch
What would induce you to swear your allegiance to God tonight ?
Joined at the nip to a million volt switch of the light, alright ?
You want to find out what the planet's about ?
Falling from grace leaves a cool empty space in the sky
Dribbling with come as the volts start to arc through your mind
It's cruel but it's kind
Falling from grace leaves a cool empty space in the sky
Heaven that made you has screwed you and laughed
Falling from grace leaves a cool empty space in the sky
Meltdown
Hey you wait... cringing in the dark
You create what you always fear
A puppet of hatred dishing out poison
Chain letters of snivelling compromise
I can smell the difference... your truth and your fiction
You and your twisted convictions
Were you my friend when I was strong ?
Were you my friend when I was weak ?
Were you my friend when I was crawling, calling... out of my head ?
When things get tough
You slither on the ground
You cover up your tracks when I'm around
Your dog has had his day
It's payback time for what you had to say
You're stuck with the life you made
Stuck with the plans you made
Stuck with everything you are
Octavia
I'm vacuum breathing and open-mouthed as the red shift tills my eyes
Oh minister my promises as her shadow cuts the day away
I remembered you, when you walked into that room
Are sliding into this broken mind
I'm swimming back against the river
But I'm rising with the tide
We're all going back there soon
How many times have we lived before
How many faces and how many names
Shadows come but shadows are gone
Shadows come but shadows are gone
Innerspace
I see the scars of action writhing round your face
Too much inactivity and homes a lonely place
Throw away your beauty cos you know it won't last
Throw away your present cos you've been living in the past
Fire up some beast and ride the skywaves
Don't wanna waste my time on you if you can't travel this way too
Fire up this beast and we'll ride the skywaves
Discovery was a stranger then, so welcome to my house
Whatever demons torture me, I love them like a friend
Nothing lasts forever but the certainty of change
Fire up some beast and ride the skywaves
And the fireball work is done and we are part of the Nuclear one
The whole Damn thing begins again
A fiery sideslip then we're gone...
I'll see ya Monday morning...
Anyway, I'm coming back...
Strange Death In Paradise
Spiralling falling, a silver machine
From wings of freedom silent above
Eyelids were burning summer sun roasting
Tumbling chrome in the dear blue sky
1000 stars turned day into night at the end
I saw the movie, I read the reply
In the beginning there was only the word
Children were playing out in the yard
I am not guilty, I made no difference
I wasn't born and I wasn't made on that day
I saw the movie, I read the reply
In the beginning there was only the word
