Iron Maiden – 666 The number of the beast
Woe to you, oh earth and sea
For the Devil sends the beast with wrath Because he knows the time is short Let him who hath understanding reckon the number of the beast For it is a human number Its number is six hundred and sixty-sixI 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 despairNight 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?Six six six, the number of the beast
Hell and fire was spawned to be releasedTorches 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 doneSix six six, the number of the beast
Sacrifice is going on tonightThis can’t go on, I must inform the law
Can this still be real, or just some crazy dream? But I feel drawn towards the chanting hordes Seem to mesmerize, can’t avoid their eyesSix six six, the number of the beast
Six six six, the one for you and meI’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 its course
