Iron Maiden are an English heavy metal band formed in Leyton, East London, in 1975 by bassist and primary songwriter Steve Harris. The band's discography has grown to 40 albums, including 16 studio albums, 13 live albums, four EPs, and seven compilations.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The X Factor is the tenth studio album by English heavy metal band Iron Maiden, released on 2 October 1995 through EMI Records. CMC International released the album in North America. It is the first of two albums by the band to include Blaze Bayley, formerly of Wolfsbane, as vocalist, replacing Bruce Dickinson who left the band following their previous tour to pursue a solo career. It also saw the departure of the band’s longtime producer Martin Birch, who retired shortly after the release of their previous album. The album takes a darker tone than the band's first nine releases, due to the lyrics being based on personal issues surrounding Steve Harris at the time, who was in the midst of a divorce. This is reflected in the cover artwork, which graphically depicts the band's mascot, Eddie, being vivisected by machine.

IRON MAIDEN - SIGN OF THE CROSS
Album: The X Factor
Year: 1995
(Lyrics)
Eleven saintly shrouded men
Silhouettes stand against the sky
One in front with a cross held high
Come to wash my sins away
Standing alone in the wind and rain
Feeling the fear that is growing
Sensing the change in the tide again
Brought by the storm that is brewing
Feel the anxiety, hold off the fear
Some of the doubt in the things you believe
Now that your faith will be put to the test
Nothing to do but await what is coming
Why is then God still protecting me
Even when I don't deserve it?
Though I am blessed with an inner strength
Some they would call it a penance
Why am I meant to face this alone?
Asking the question time and again
Praying to God won't keep me alive
Inside my head feel the fear start to rise
They'll be saving their prayers when the moment comes
There'll be penance to pay when it's judgement day
And the guilty'll bleed when that moment comes
They'll be coming to claim, take your soul away
The sign of the cross
The name of the rose
A fire in the sky
The sign of the cross
They'll be coming to bring the eternal flame
They'll be bringing us all immortality
Holding communion so the world be blessed
My creator, my God, lay my soul to rest
The sign of the cross
The name of the rose
A fire in the sky
The sign of the cross, yeah
The sign of the cross
The name of the rose
A fire in the sky
The sign of the cross
The name of the rose
A fire in the sky
The sign of the cross
Lost the love of heaven above
Chose the lust of the earth below
Eleven saintly shrouded men
Came to wash my sins away

[@oronaldojunior]

Muito obrigado!!

[@AsphyxGr]

Great cover ! Especially enjoyed the bass performance and sound but the whole was perfect ! You nailed the overall atmosphere

[@PrincessZeeBee]

I have to be honest guys, at first when the guy started singing real low, I wasn't digging the vocals I guess, because Bruce Dickinson's voice is so phenomenal. But after that little part and then you started singing and getting into the song, when the song really started, he sounded just like him and I'm telling you, you guys, your cover's phenomenal! Thank you guys for doing this and posting it! Are you guys from portugal?

[@oronaldojunior]

Thank you Amy! We are from Brazil 🇧🇷

[@PrincessZeeBee]

@@oronaldojunior okay, that makes sense. My next guest would have been brazil. But for some reason I don't know why I was thinking, I thought you guys were from Portugal. I guess what threw me off was I saw a bunch of replies in Portuguese because if I'm not mistaken you guys speak Portuguese over there and not Spanish. My mistake there's a few other metal bands I've listened to that were from portugal. Anyway you did a really great job on that song.

[@pedrodiniz2689]

@@PrincessZeeBee we do not speak Spanish whatsoever. English is much more spoken among Brazilians than Spanish. Yet, Raphal Mendes, the singer, is really very talented as well as all musicians. They rock!

[@PrincessZeeBee]

@@pedrodiniz2689 guess I was thinking that Portuguese was the language that was spoken in Brazil, but it makes sense that English is becoming the common language.

[@brenocorrea1508]

@@PrincessZeeBee, actually, I think you misunderstood him. Sometimes Brazilians tend to take it almost as an offense when someone assumes we speak Spanish and that, I must say, seems to be just because. I guess some of us are just tired of hearing this statement over and over from people out of Brazil as if everyone else should know what languages we speak. Anyways, I believe he is just trying to say that it's easier to find Brazilians that can speak English than those that speak Spanish, but that's just because most of us consider being able to speak English more important. It doesn't mean it's becoming a common language among us. Maybe among wealthier people as part of their personal and professional goals, yeah, but not among the vast majority of our population.

[@deep2one]

Fenomenal cover! Todos los instrumentos suenan genial y la mezcla es perfecta, pero el vocalista sobre todo me ha puesto la piel de gallina, tiene un timbre muy parecido a Bruce Dickinson (aunque la original la cantara Blaze, la versión de Bruce es muy buena también).
Enhorabuena!

Muito obrigado! 🤟

[@raphaelrocha4485]

Sério; se eu soasse cantando tão igual a um ídolo meu como esse cara (Rafael) certamente daria uma "bugada" no meu cérebro, na minha personalidade em si. Iria ficar sem saber quem eu era na verdade, o ídolo ou eu mesmo! É muito igual a voz dele!!! E sim, a banda toda é muito foda!!! Se vierem ao Rio de janeiro, irei assisti-los com certeza!! Parabéns por tudo!!! O Maiden tem de conhecer vocês!!

[@Muscles1302]

Any chance I can purchase this cover song?

[@rogeriomadeiro_bjjtv]

Podem tentar de várias formas que temos que dar a César o que é de César... Blaze Bayley é o único que gravou com louvor essa canção. Respeito o Bruce mas Blaze, venceu nessa!
