Iron Maiden
Number Of The Beast

I left alone, my mind was blank, I needed time to think to get the memories from my mind
What did I see, can I believe, that what I saw that night was real and not just fantasy
Just what I saw, in my old dreams, were thin reflections of my warped mind staring back at me
‘Cos in my dream, it’s always there, the evil face that twists my mind and brings me to despair

Yeah !!!

 

The night was black, was no use holding back, ‘Cos I just had to see, was someone watching me

In the mist, dark figures move and twist, Was all this for real or just some kind of hell
666 the number of the beast
Hell and fire was spawned to be released

Torches blazed, and sacred chants were praised, As they start to cry, hands held to the sky

In the night, the fires are burning bright, The ritual has begun, Satan’s work is done
666 the number of the beast
Sacrifice is going on tonight

solo

This can’t go on, I must inform the law, Can this still be real, or just some crazy dream

But I feel drawn, towards the chanting hordes, seem to mesmerise … can’t avoid their eyes
666 the number of the beast
666 the one for you and me

I’m coming back, I will return, And I’ll possess your body and I’ll make you burn

I have the fire, I have the force, I have the power to make my evil take it’s course
