The Number of the Beast

(Iron Maiden)



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 the reflections of my woman staring back at me

'cause in my dreams, it's always there

The evil face that twists my mind and brings me to despair



Six six six, the number of the beast

Hell and fire was spawned to be released



Torches blazed and sacred chants were praised

And as they start to cry, their hands held to the sky

And in the night, the fires burning bright

The ritual has begun, Satan's work is done



Six six six, the number of the beast

Sacrifice is going on tonight



I'm coming back, I will return

I will possess your body and I'll make you burn

'cause I have the fire, I have the force

I have the power to make my evil take its course
