    From the Iron Maiden Commentary

    Janick Gers shows here once again his talent for writing fast, uptemposongs.
    This one is extremely reminiscent of "Man On The Edge" and is delivered with all
    the efficacy Maiden is capable of. This is the only really fast song on the
    album, and it is in any case a very good little rocker!
    The lyrics, once again courtesy of occultenthusiast
    Bruce Dickinson, deal with
    the story of John Dee's life, a famous British mathematician and occultist of the
    16th Century. This man seems to have coined the term "British Empire" ("My
    dreams of empire") for Elizabeth I, his "frozen queen", whom he was advising
    during her reign. He established the country's supremacy on the sea and
    oceans through his navigation expertise and Britain owes him a lot for his
    knowledge.
    Sadly, he also dealt with more esoteric matters, like talking to angels, and was
    acquainted with a conman, Edward Kelly, who also claimed to have occult
    abilities and spoke with spirits. Kelly eventually persuaded Dee during a long
    visit abroad that one of the ethereal entities commanded them to share Dee's
    wife ("you have taken my wife and lain beside her"), which they did, eventually
    bringing an end to the two occultists' relation. When Dee returned to his
    English house at Mortlake after spending a few years in continental Europe, he
    found his house vandalised and the books of his very large library (one of the
    largest at the time) stolen for the most part ("I was the keeper of the books").
    He died in poverty, but is remembered for being a great scholar, albeit a fairly
    gullible one who believed in spirits and angels. This unfortunate weakness that
    was exploited by Kelly who was apparently hardly any better than the crook
    portrayed in "El Dorado".

    You know I'm helpless from your mesmerizing cat call.

    Keep your distance, walk away, don't take his bait.
    Don't you stray, don't fade away.
    Watch your step, he's out to get you, come what may.
    Don't you stray, from the narrow way.
    Go ahead and use my Eddie in any way.
