* "The Clairvoyant" is based on the death of Doris Stokes, a popular psychic. Being an recurring theme with prophets, Steve Harris wondered why if she could see the future, why could she not see her own death, hence the lyrics:
--> ''He could see your truth and see your lies.''
--> ''But for all his power, he couldn't forsee his own demise.''
