The Tenth Dimension
Blaze Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Those self appointed secret rulers of this world,
They are hypocrites liars and thieves.
And with the arrogance that they confuse with wisdom
They are controlling everything and you and me.
They rule with fear and hide the path to freedom,
Manipulating with their conspiracys.
Inventing gods to make us fear the day of judgement
So dreading death we beg for life while on our knees.
(Here I am) Standing in the darkness
(Here I am) Surrounded by the night
(Here I am) Standing in the darkness
(Must I be) A stranger to the light
For all my questions they said they had the answers
But then they said this is all my life could be
I ask again about the reasons for existence
But still the answers cannot satisfy my need
(Here I am) Standing in the darkness
(Here I am) Surrounded by the night
(Here I am) Standing in the darkness
(Must I be) A stranger to the light
Oh-oh-oh, freedom is here in the Tenth Dimension
Oh-oh-oh, freedom is here in the Tenth Dimension
Their holy trinity
Traps you in their beliefs
Has sinchronicty
Always been leading me?
Their holy trinity
Traps you in their beliefs
Has sinchronicty
Always been leading me?
(Did you think we would allow you to share the discovery?)
(Here I am) Standing in the darkness
(Here I am) Surrounded by the night
(Here I am) Standing in the darkness
(Must I be) A stranger to the light
(Here I am) Standing in the darkness
(Here I am) Surrounded by the night
(Here I am) Standing in the darkness
(Must I be) A stranger to the light




Oh-oh-oh, your freedom is here in the Tenth Dimension
Oh-oh-oh, your freedom is here in the Tenth Dimension

Fantastic album, beginning to end. Any band that puts out a gem like this should be proper proud, and get proper recognition.

Marcelo Pereira

Boa noite a todos!
Em minha opinião, Blazey evoluiu assustadoramente nos últimos anos, já não sendo mais necessário para a sua carreira as comparações com Dickinson, os por quês de sua saída do Iron, ou o que quer seja. Com composições excelentes e um grande carisma, o cara vem ganhando cada vez mais espaço na cena Heavy Metal; E não é pra menos com clássicos como Escape Velocity!
Hail Blazey from Brazil!

Jose De leon

Excelente album, para disfrutar de principio a fin.

R B

I can relate to this album's lyrics and music on a very personal level. Blaze is the best lyricist in all of metal, he sees what others can't see, feels what others can't feel. Can't wait for Infinite Entanglement.

Jared Lewis

see u in all that is good. thank u

alex vaits

Amazing pure and honest good guy with his fans. A fighter against stupid minds of line factory music metalheads

Scott Destan

I love this dudes voice and loved his 1st solo album Silicon Messiah. 

Jim Allen

silicon messiah was to go on blazes 3rd album with maiden as was 2 of the ones that were on brave new world

Zeal Seraph

Despite Brave New World and Silicon Messiah both being brilliant albums, I always kinda wanted to hear that Blaze's third Maiden album. Considering the material that was supposed to be there (Dream of Mirrors, Mercenary, Nomad, Blood Brothers, Silicon Messiah and I think Born as a Stranger), that may very well have been THE album that would show everyone that Blaze deserved his spot in Maiden history.

Scott Destan

ZealSeraph yeah that would have been awesome and maybe the fans would give Blaze some respect.
