Iron Maiden out with new song The Writing On The Wall

Wonder what's this song about:
Across a painted desert lies a train of vagabonds
All that’s left of what we were it’s what we have become
Once our empires glorious but now the empire’s gone
The dead gave us the time to live and now our time is done
Now we are victorious we’ve become our slaves
A land of hope and glory building graveyards for the brave
Have you seen the writing on the wall
Have you seen that writing
Can you see the riders on the storm
Can you see them riding ~ can you see them riding
Holding on to jury is that all we ever know
Ignorance our judge and jury all we’ve got to show
From Hollywood to Babylon ~ holy war to kingdom come
On a trail of dust and ashes ~ when the burning sky is done
A tide of change is coming and that is what you fear
The earthquake is a coming but you don’t want to hear
You’re just too blind to see
Have you seen the writing on the wall
Have you seen that writing
Can you see the riders on the storm
Can you see them riding
Can you see them riding. . . Riding next to you

Not crazy about the post-apocalyptic imagery of the video, I think it should be more related to the current times. There is plenty of current stuff to use. Also wish the recording is better, I like the song though. It's a pretty simple song to play, hope it catches on among new players.

There was a thread on the OT last week asking what everyone’s first cassette tape they ever bought was, and I remembered mine was this Iron Maiden tape. Added it to iTunes and have listened to it several times already
I had forgotten what an awesome band they are, and how many of their songs are based on actual historical events.
Thanks for posting this

You mean there's music being made that's not rap?

Dickinson's a conservative, but a British conservative, so basically center left in us.
The songs lyrics are pretty sparse, but it seems to just be about an empire ending. Not super deep stuff.
