The Number of the Beast (1998 Remaster) - Iron Maiden

Written by：Steve Harris

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

Cos in my dreams it's always there the evil face that twists my mind

And brings me to despair

The night was black was no use holding back

Cos I just had to see was someone watching me

In the mist dark figures move and twist

Was all this for real or 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 some crazy dream

But I feel drawn towards the evil chanting hordes

They seem to mesmerise me 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
