The No. Of The Beast Lyrics - Somewhere Back In Time - Iron Maiden

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 

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 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 

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 

They seem to mesmerize, 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
