The Number of the Beast (Live in Los Angeles 19 February 2008) - 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 just some kind of hell

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 burning bright

The ritual has begun satan's work is done

6

The number of the beast

Sacrifice is going on tonight

This can't go on I must can fall the law

Can this still be real I just some crazy dream

But I feel drawn towards the evil

Chanting hordes

They seem to mesmerise me can't avoid their eyes

6

The number of the beast

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 have the fire

I have the force

I have the power to make my evil take it's course
