As the night closes in rest your weary head and
Find some shelter then say your prayers again
All my hopes are in limbo of lost dreams
All but forgotten or so it may seem to me
Find your purpose find your truth then they all will follow you
Count your blessings and pretend you can visualize the end
Slipping further in descent but together we bleed red
A past lives repent
I can't decide if I have the fight in me
I'm searching for a sign that I can't see
And tell me what it must be like to ascend to the skies
They've clipped my wings, now I cannot fly
And tell me something of a world where the dreams are alive
And I wonder sometimes what it must be like
Tread the water beneath tides are turning I see
How your future is all that you believe
All the choices that lead to this moment
They have to mean something or is it all for nothing
Find your purpose find your truth then they all will follow you
Count your blessings and pretend you can visualize the end
Slipping further in descent but together we bleed red
A past lives repent
I can't decide if I have the fight in me
I'm searching for a sign that I can't see
And tell me what it must be like to ascend to the skies
They've clipped my wings, now I cannot fly
And tell me something of a world where the dreams are alive
And I wonder sometimes what it must be like
Time is ticking away, will you untie
This noose around me? (This noose around me)
I know if the beckoning finger I follow
Draws me in, then it's too late
I can't decide if I have the fight in me
I'm searching for a sign that I can't see
And tell me what it must be like to ascend to the skies
They've clipped my wings, now I cannot fly
And tell me something of a world where the dreams are alive
I wonder sometimes what it must be like
Find some shelter then say your prayers again
All my hopes are in limbo of lost dreams
All but forgotten or so it may seem to me
Find your purpose find your truth then they all will follow you
Count your blessings and pretend you can visualize the end
Slipping further in descent but together we bleed red
A past lives repent
I can't decide if I have the fight in me
I'm searching for a sign that I can't see
And tell me what it must be like to ascend to the skies
They've clipped my wings, now I cannot fly
And tell me something of a world where the dreams are alive
And I wonder sometimes what it must be like
Tread the water beneath tides are turning I see
How your future is all that you believe
All the choices that lead to this moment
They have to mean something or is it all for nothing
Find your purpose find your truth then they all will follow you
Count your blessings and pretend you can visualize the end
Slipping further in descent but together we bleed red
A past lives repent
I can't decide if I have the fight in me
I'm searching for a sign that I can't see
And tell me what it must be like to ascend to the skies
They've clipped my wings, now I cannot fly
And tell me something of a world where the dreams are alive
And I wonder sometimes what it must be like
Time is ticking away, will you untie
This noose around me? (This noose around me)
I know if the beckoning finger I follow
Draws me in, then it's too late
I can't decide if I have the fight in me
I'm searching for a sign that I can't see
And tell me what it must be like to ascend to the skies
They've clipped my wings, now I cannot fly
And tell me something of a world where the dreams are alive
I wonder sometimes what it must be like

I think this is about finding that feeling of hope hidden somewhere in apparent hopelessness.
Guitarist George Harris, son of Iron Maiden bassist and founder Steve Harris, commented on the new single, stating, "'No Man's Land' is a song reflective of the mental state I was in when everything hit at the start of 2020. The band had a huge couple of years touring wise and had built up so much momentum, the morale in the camp was higher than ever before. Our last gig of 2019 was at the London O2 arena alongside Alter Bridge and Shinedown, so to go from those heights to nothing was devastating for us."
"We're at the stage in our careers where we rely on that momentum and buzz to keep us reaching forward," Harris went on, "and to have the rug pulled from underneath us left us in a state of limbo where we suddenly didn't know if everything we'd built so far and worked so hard for was all for nothing."
