Iron Maiden - The Number Of The Beast "Woe to you, Oh Earth and Sea, for the Devil 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 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 they 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
The night was black, was no use holding back,
'Cos I just had to see, was someone watching me
Was this all for real or 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 burning bright
The ritual 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 law
Can this still be real, or just some crazy dream
But I feel drawn, towards the chanting hordes
They seem to mesmerize, 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
