The Number of the Beast
(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
'Cause in my dreams it's always there,
The evil face that twists my mind and brings me to despair.
AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
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 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
(2:46-Solo: Dave Murray)
(3:15-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 evil chanting hordes,
Seem to mesmerize 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
