Lyrics:

There are times when I've wondered
And times when I've cried
When my prayers they were answered
At times when I've lied
But if you ask me a question
Would I tell you the truth
Now there's something to bet on
You got nothing to lose

When I've sat by the window
And gazed at the rain
With an ache in my heart
But never feeling the pain
And if you would tell me
Just what my life means
Walking a long road
Never reaching the end

God give me the answers to my life
God give me the answers to my dreams
God give me the answers to my prayers
God give me the answers to my being

There are times when I've wondered And times when I've cried When my prayers they were answered At times when I've lied But if you asked me a question Would I tell you truth Now there's something to bet on You've got nothing to lose When I've sat by the window And gazed at the rain With an ache in my heart But never feeling the pain And if you would tell me Just what my life means Walking a long road Never reaching the end God give me the answer to my life God give me the answer to my dreams God give me the answer to my prayers God give me the answer to my being

Iron Maiden - No Prayer For The Dying (on piano)
This is my piano solo version for iron maiden's no prayer for the dying. I tried to show how beautiful are the melodys of maiden's songs even when it being played by one acoustic instrument. (sorry Mr. Harris for sabotaging your masterpiece :-))
