The Number of the Beast (iron Mayden) Lyrics

"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
It's number is Six hundred and sixty six"

Riff feito por Dave Murray enquanto Bruce canta:

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 staring back at me.

'Cause in my dreams, 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
'Cause 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 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.
