"Paschendale" is about the Battle of Passchendaele which took place during the First World War. It was written by Adrian Smith, who usually contributes to the band's shorter, more "commercial" songs, but decided to write what he describes as "a traditional Maiden epic. It features strong progressive rock elements, including its length, detailed structure, and multiple tempo changes throughout the song. Dickinson comments, "the beauty of 'Paschendale' isn't in the epic-ness of the song – although you have to admit it is a powerful and stirring body of music – but the detail." In live performances, Dickinson introduces the song with a passage from Wilfred Owen's "Anthem for Doomed Youth".
In a foreign field he lay.... Lonely soldier, unknown grave..... On his dying words he prays..... Tell the world of Paschendale
During live performances of this song, lead singer Bruce Dickinson would dress in the type of uniform worn by World War I era British Infantry men. He would then act out the lyrics of the song by faking his own death onstage, as if he were a soldier being gunned down.
