The Number of the Beast (Live In Denmark 1992)

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?

'Cause in my dreams

It's always there

The evil face that twists my mind

Brings me to despair

The 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 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 (Six, six)

The number of the beast

Sacrifice is going on tonight, yeah

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 mesmerise

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 bodies

And I'll make you burn

I have the fire

I have the force

I have the power to make

My evil take its course
