Man of Sorrows is the seventh song on Bruce Dickinson's album Accient of Birth from 1997. The demo version of the song is included on the Best Of Bruce Dickinson album. On the same CD, Bruce states that Man of Sorrows was originally written for a movie called The Chemical Wedding, which was however never produced. The demo version was engineered by André Jacquemin (who is better known for his sound-engineer work for Monty Python), and had Janick Gers on the guitar.1
