The Number of the Beast (Live)

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

Is 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

Brings me to despair

Night was black, was no use holdin' back

'Cause I just had to see, was someone watching me?

In the mist, dark figures move and twist

Was all this for real, or just some kind of hell?

Six, six, six

The number of the beast

Hell and fire were spawned to be released

Torches blazed, sacred chants were praised

As they start to cry, hands held to the sky

In the night, the fires are burning bright

The ritual has begun, Satan's work is done

Six

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 chanting hordes

Seem to mesmerize me, can't avoid their eyes

Six, six, six

The number of the beast

Six, six, six

The one for you and me

I'm coming back, I will return

And I'll possess your body, and our thanks to the Devil for the fuckin' burn

I have the fire, I have the force

I have the power to make my evil take its course
