Iron Maiden - Live After Death The Number of the Beast Lyrics

Woe to you, oh Earth and Sea,
for the Devil sends the beast with wrath,
because he knows the time is short...
- Revelations 12:12
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.
- Revelations 13:18

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
'Cause in my dreams it's always there
The evil face that twists my mind and brings me to despair

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 this all 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 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

(Solo: Dave Murray)
(Solo: Adrian Smith)

This can't go on I must inform the law
Can this still be real or some crazy dream?
But I feel drawn toward the chanting hordes
Seem to mesmerize me, 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 Southern California f___in' burn!

I have the fire, I have the force
I have the power to make my evil take its course
