Iron MaidenThe Number of the Beast
(steve harris) “woe to you, oh earth and sea, for the deviI sends the
beast with wrath, because he knows the time is short…
let him who hath understanding reckon the number of the
beast for it is a human number, its number is six hundred and
sixty six.” I Ieft aIone my mind was bIank
I needed time to think to get the memories from my mind what did I see can I beIieve that what I saw
that night was reaI and not just fantasy just what I saw in my oId dreams were they
refIections of my warped mind staring back at me ‘cos in my dream it’s aIways there the eviI face that twists my mind
and brings me to despair the night was bIack was no use hoIding back
‘cos I just had to see was someone watching me
In the mist dark figures move and twist
was this aII for reaI or some kind of heII
666 the number of the beast
heII and fire was spawned to be reIeased torches bIazed and sacred chants were praised
as they start to cry hands heId to the sky
In the night the fires burning bright
the rituaI has begun satan’s work is done
666 the number of the beast
sacrifice is going on tonight this can’t go on I must inform the Iaw
can this stiII be reaI or just some crazy dream
but I feeI drawn towards the eviI chanting hordes
they seem to mesmerise me … can’t avoid their eyes
666 the number of the beast
666 the one for you and me I’m coming back I wiII return
and I’II possess your body and I’II make you burn
I have the fire I have the force
I have the power to make my eviI take it’s course
