"Woo to you oh earth and sea, for the devil sends the beast with wrath
For he knows the time is right
Let him who hath understanding reckon the number of the beast
For it is a human number
And it's number is six hundred and sixty six"
I left alone, my mind was blank
I needed time to think
To get these 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 dream
Were they reflections
Of my warped mind staring back at me?
'Cause in my dreams, it's always there
The evil thing
That twists my mind and brings me to despair, yeah!
Mind was black
Was no use holding back
Cause I just had to see
Is someone watching me
In the mist
Dark shadows move and twist
Was all this for real
Or just some kind of hell
Six six six
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 fire's burning bright
The ritual has begun
Satan's work is done
Six six six
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 kind of dream?
But I feel drawn
Towards the chanting hordes
They seem to mesmerise
Can't avoid their eyes!
Six six six
The number of the beast
Six six six
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
Iron Maiden,
The Number of the Beast
Anyway... keep up the good work
