Song information


The song starts in the first person, from the main character's point of view. Later, when he is dead it is in the third person. According to Steve Harris, the song was inspired by the death of psychic Doris Stokes, and her wondering that if she were truly able to see the future, would not she had foreseen her own death?
The song's guitar solo is played by Dave Murray.
