Waking up from a dream

My trip in India was an amazing one. So much fun, and so relaxing; with no work to do and tons to eat, I thoroughly enjoyed myself in the company of my loving family in our new home. The dream is over now and I am sadly back to the real world of my life as another software engineer in the valley stumbling through code by day and dreaming of world domination by night :)

What's your favourite Iron Maiden song?

Part of the NWOBHM ( ignoramuses can go ahead and google that :P ), Iron Maiden have rocked for a long time, with many brilliant compositions (yes compositions, as intricately crafted as any symphony you philistines - the cadence of mcbrain's drums, the richness of dickinson's voice, steve harris's incomparable lyrics and I will stop before waxing lyrical about the guitars of Dave Murray, Adrian Smith and Janick Gers....man!). So what is your favourite Iron Maiden song? I ask because frankly I don't think I have one, and I doubt if its possible for me to single any one out. (get it -- "single"?
