Iron Maiden - The Number Of The Beast - The Number Of The Beast


Original master backing track for vocalists. Feel free to use this track when you feel brave enough to try and fill the boots of the AIR RAID SIREN aka BRUCE DICKINSON! :D

Lyrics:

"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."

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 dream,
it's always there,
the evil face that twists my mind and brings me to despair

YEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaAaAaAaAaAaAaaaaaaaa!!!!! \m/

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 just some crazy dream?
But I feel drawn towards the evil chanting hordes
Seem to mesmerise ... 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
