The demonic side of the Iron Maiden's through Run to the Hills.

What a shame I didn't see Maiden sooner; they're fucking wonderful, even if in that post-rock sardonic manner. Among Iron Maiden's songs, "Run to the Hills" stands head and shoulders above the crowd. The live recording from the Rock in Rio event begins with an epic chorus and discusses the hardships endured by Native Americans during colonization.

You can't shake Iron Maiden. They have amassed a fan base that transcends generations, cultures, and time zones thanks to their 44 years of daring creative freedom, fierce devotion to their followers, and happy disregard for detractors. Unparalleled adventure awaits them in this tale of resolute resolve and fearless rejection of doubters. Its guitar solo backdrop and brazen 80s rock attitude entice listeners. You can't help but be inspired by the band's tremendous enthusiasm during their live performances, especially considering that several of them are making their way over the hill.

"Run to the Hill is the demonic and memorable track with apocalyptic lyric"

On the other side, you'll get "Total Eclipse," which sounds like a sour jam session between Maiden's (h)air guitarists and Cradle of Filth, and "Children of the Damned," a darker, more organic track that demonstrates Bruce Dickinson's great emotional ability and intensity. The song's relentless cheesiness is its worst flaw. It's more about the performance than the words. The guitar solo, which is among the most iconic in metal history, is when the song really shines. Regrettably, it falls short of the lofty expectations set by its devoted following. Because of the narcissistic "fans" that make up a sizable chunk of Maiden's popular fan base, it has trumped much of the band's legendary history.

It doesn't have any covers or rarities per se, but the semi-rarity it does have gives it godlike status, making it of greater worth in a Maiden collection. Check out the track. The link is attached below.
