Number Of The Beast (Iron Maiden) Lyrics

[Iron Maiden cover]
I left alone my mind was blank
I needed time to get the memories from my mindWhat did I see can I believe that what I saw
That night was real and not just fantasyJust what I saw in my old dreams were they
Reflections of my warped mind staring back at me'cause in my dream it's always there the evil face that twists my mind
And brings me to despairThe 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 releasedTorches 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 tonightThis can't go on I must inform the law
Can this still be real or some crazy dream
But I feel drawn towards the evil chanting hordes

They seem to mesmerise me ... can't avoid their eyes
666 the number of the beast
666 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 it's course
