The Number of the Beast [Live Chapter]

Lyrics

[Spoken intro: Barry Clayton] 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 six [Verse 1: Bruce Dickinson] I left alone, my mind was black I needed time to thin[-k?] 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 warp[-ed?] mind staring back at me? Cause in my dreams, it's always there The evil face that twists my mind, brings me to despair AEEEEHHHH-OOOOooooooh!.. [Verse 2] Night was black, was no use holding back 'Cause I just had to see, weren't someone watching me? In the mist, dark figures move and twist Was all this for real or jus' some kind of hell? [Chorus 1] 666 the number of the beast Hell and fire was spawned to be released [Verse 3] Torches blazed, sacred chants were praised As they start to cry, hands held to the sky In the fight, fires burning bright Ritual has begun, Satan's work is done [Chorus 2] 666 the number of the beast Sacrifice is going on tonight [Guitar solo: Dave Murray] [Guitar solo: Adrian Smith] [Verse 4] This can't go on, I must inform a law Can this still be real, or just some crazy dream? I feel drawn towards the chanting hordes Seem to mesmerize, can't avoid their eyes [Chorus 3] 666 the number of the beast 666 the one for you and me [Verse 5] I'm coming back, we will return And we'll possess your bodies, we'll make Germany fucking burn I have the fire, I have the force I have the power to make my evil take its course Come on yeah!
