Меня на шекспира пробила песня Iron Maiden - The Evil That Men Do (Название песни "The Evil That Men Do" является цитатой из Шекспира: "The evil that men do lives on after them, But the good is oft interred with their bones" ("Зло, которое делают люди, живет и после их смерти, а добро обычно хоронится с их останками"). Это цитата из монолога Марка Антония из Юлия Цезаря.) Вот текст: 
Love is a razor and I walked the line on that silver blade 
Slept in the dust with his daughter, her eyes red with 
The slaughter of innocence 
But I will pray for her 
I will call her name out loud 
I would bleed for her 
If only I could see her now  
Living on a razors edge 
Balancing on a ledge 
Living on a razors edge  
The evil that men do lives on and on... [four repetitions]  
Circle of fire my baptism of joy at an end it seems 
The seventh lamb slain, the book of life opens before me 
But I will pray for you 
And some day I may return 
Don't you cry for me 
Beyond is where I learn 
Перевод: 
Любовь – это бритва, и я иду краем серебряного лезвия, 
Я спал в прахе с его дочерью, кровью невинных жертв 
Красны её глаза. 
Но я готов за неё молиться, 
Только её я позову 
И если лишь смогу увидеть, 
То за неё я кровь пролью.  
На лезвии ножа живу, 
Балансируя на краю. 
На лезвии ножа живу.  
Зло, творимое людьми, продолжает жить.  
В кольце огня я крещён – это в радость, но я достиг конца: 
Седьмой агнец заклан, и книга жизни открылась для меня. 
Я буду за тебя молиться, 
Может, однажды я вернусь. 
Загробный мир – то, чему учил я, 
Я ради тебя умру. 
Одна из любимийших песен Bruce Dickinson - Navigate The Seas Of The Sun 
Distant earthrise long ago 
lingers at the borders of our minds 
mysteries spinning in the dark 
in the frozen emptiness of time 
we were lost and we never knew 
who we were or what we left behind 
living half-lives we were blind 
to the new frontiers that opened up our eyes 
to find our minds were spinning 
souls entwined in a spiral dance 
the ancient ways have found us 
again to give us one last chaaaaaaance  
living in this place 
staring into space we find 
we might share the corners of our lives 
infinity runs deep 
eternity that we can keep 
melting through the frozen wastes of time  
so we go and we'll not return 
to navigate the seas of the sun 
our children will go on and on 
to navigate the seas of the sun 
so we go and we'll not return 
we'll navigate the seas of the sun 
our children will go on and on 
to navigate the seas of the sun  
we can go on tomorrow 
living death by gravity 
couldn't stand it anymore 
we'll sail our ships to distant shores  
purple gold and blue 
living colors every hue 
flowers in the garden of the gods 
no one can ever know 
if you never saw them grow 
but this darkness is really full of light  
now beyond the earth 
beyond all things that gave us birth 
we'll navigate... 
if god is throwing dice 
and einstein doesn't mind the chance 
we'll navigate... 
infinity runs deep 
eternity that we can keep 
we'll navigate... 
flowers of our souls 
purple blue and gold we'll find 
to navigate... 
so we know who we are 
even in this frozen waste 
we'll navigate... 
living in this place 
staring into space we'll find 
we'll navigate... 
well beyond the earth 
beyond all things that gave us birth 
we'll... 
if einstein's throwing dice 
and god he doesn't mind the chance 
we'll navigate... 
flowers of the soul 
purple blue and gold 
and who we were before 
eternity... 
we'll navigate... 
flowers of the soul
