The Number of the Beast

[Droopy]

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 and 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 real or just 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 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 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 its course

6. I knew the Reagan numbers, but never put GWB's together before!

I wonder if the numbers are tattoed on their foreheads, like Damien Thorne's were.

2. One of the best metal songs ever

I am a huge Iron Maiden fan. In fact, that whole album is really good. I especially like For Whom the Bell Tolls.

And congrats on 666 posts. MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAH.

3. I was a Maiden obsessive through most of high school....

I saw them on the Piece of Mind tour, the Powerslave tour, and the 7th Son of a 7th Son tour(although I was already fading on them at that point).

Honestly, as someone I know once put it: Black Sabbath invented Heavy Metal but Iron Maiden perfected it.

Phenomenal band that never confused heaviness for good songwriting or virtuosity for melody. every guitar note every bass line is hummable in their catalog.

4. You are very evil!

The Bible made me say that. Congrats on the 666! Just be sure not to linger in the 700 club, where I am now stuck!

5. Your Social Security number is the MARK!

7. Another Maiden fan here.

I've been listened to their newest album, Dance of Death, lately.

It's got some decent songs on it, but nothing that compares to Seventh Son of a Seventh Son, Somewhere in Time, or Powerslave.

I hoping to see them on their next tour since it will probably be their last big one.
