I Have a Confession to Make

So I listened to Senjutsu all the way through and I really don't get it. There's plenty of better songs from before that did the whole Seventh Son of a Seventh Son proggy thing better than this album, where every song clocks in at 9 minute average and a maximum of 90bpm.

That being said, as a massive Lord of the Rings fan, the bridge from the title track really speaks to me and my own tastes in a way that I've never really felt with any other Maiden song:

Now under siege, have the real strength to hold them now
Have to believe that we can repel them
Faith in the years our ancestors taught us
Have the belief that we can protect the wall

Try if they can, we will overthrow them
Fight to the last, they can never own us
Battle of wills, we'll fight to the last man
Honor our dead, so they never fought in vain
