They just made it up to fill a gap. (In between the other 2 things they made up)
Didn't Pope HitlerJugend declare there was no Hell not so long ago? That made a few Priests breathe a sigh of relief, I'm sure.
The most interesting thing about Purgatory is that it was very hard to get hold of for a long time, seeing as it didn't appear on the "Killers" LP - ha, yes, gotcha, I'm talking about the Iron Maiden track now! The original single was deleted very quickly, making second-hand copies very expensive for skint kids like me.
We had to wait until CD re-issues came out, with tracks like "Women in Uniform" and "Purgatory" added, before we heard lots of early "classic" content. Kids today don't know they are born, they just type into a file-sharing thing and bang, they have it all. Bah!
* Edit. It would appear I'm talking out of my arse, again. I could have sworn it wasn't on Killers, but it seems it was. I think I am confusing it with "Women in Uniform" and the fact I really wanted a copy of Purgatory as a kid because I had the cover artwork on a t-shirt. It was along time ago, and I'm old and confused. I'll be wandering the streets later in my slippers asking strangers if they know what time "lighting up" is in Birmingham. Wibble.
