Iron Maiden - Futureal (with lyrics)

This song, from the Virtual XI album, is very likely the best song of the Blaze Bayley era of Iron Maiden. Although it's one of the shortest Maiden songs with lyrics,the guitar riffs are excellent, the solo is even better, and Blaze Bayley's vocals are simply stunning. The lyrics, written by Blaze, are about a video game (probably MMORPG or MUD) addict who has gone "in far too deep" and has planned a suicide. He has totally lost his mind and ends up wondering: "What is real?"
Anyway, "Futureal" is an excellent song when it comes to both music and lyrics.
Speaking of lyrics, here they are:

I'm running of my time, I'm running out of breath
And now it's getting, so I can't sleep at night
in the day, I feel like death

I'm getting in far too deep, I feel they closing in
I've got to say that I'm scared, I know they'll win
Even so, I prepared

[Chorus:]
Do you believe what you hear
Can you believe what you see
Do you believe what you feel
Can you believe
What is real?
Futureal
What is real?
Futureal

Wherever anyone seems to treat me like a freak
It makes me see I'm only one who feels
That I know what is real

Sometimes it feels like a game of deadly hide and seek
And when you reading this, then I will be gone
Maybe then, you will see

[Chorus 2 times]
