Number of the beast – Iron Maiden


I lived alone, my mind was blank
I needed time to think to get the memories from my mind
What did I see, could 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
’Cause in my dreams, it's always there

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


Yeeeaaaaaaahhhhh

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
6, 6, 6, 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
6, 6, 6, the number of the beast
Sacrifice is going on tonight

(guitar)

This can't go on, I must inform the lord
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
6, 6, 6, the number of the beast
6, 6, 6, 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'll have the fire, I'll have the force
I'll have the power to make my evil take its course
