THE NUMBER OF THE BEAST - Iron Maiden from The Number Of The Beast (1982) album written by Steve Harris [Prologue] "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." -Revelations ch. XIII v.18 [Intro] D5 [Verse 1]
I left aD5lone my mind was D5blank, I needed Ctime to think, to get the memories D5from my mind.
What did I D5see, can I beD5lieve, that what I Csaw that night was real and not just D5fantasy.
[Verse 2]
Just what I D5saw in my old D5dreams, were they reCflections of my warped mind staring D5back at me?
Cos in my D5dreams it's always D5there, the evil Cface that twists my mind and brings me D5to despair.
[Interlude]
C D5YeeeaCh.D5.. C C C D5 [Verse 3] The D5night was black was no use D5holding back Cos I just D5had to see was someone Cwatching D5me
D5In the mist dark figures D5move and twist was all D5this for real or some Ckind of D5hell
[Chorus]

[Verse 4]
D5Torches blazed and sacred D5chants were phrased as they D5start to cry hands held Cto the sD5ky
D5In the night the fires are D5burning bright the ritual D5has begun, Satan's Cwork is D5done

I'm coming D5back, I will reD5turn. And I'll posCsess your body and I'll make you D5burn. I have the D5fire, I have the D5force, I have the Cpower to make my evil take its D5course.
