Reviews for The Number of the Beast Lyrics

the government brings nothing but sadness and quasi slavery to the people of the earth and it is ONE government currupted by satan. so basically biblical prophesy is coming true... eventually the government will try to kill all the people. but they've already killed many. monsanto, the UN, world bank. ignorant people will never understand but god will show himself to those who believe in him. hope he saves us in time because people will lay down and take it. all types of music bring us together so lets get together and change what's happening. maybe we stand a chance

of'corpse it is! the bible is satanic and the fucking religion is major satanic. Also all of you stupid believers are satanic, specially you abrahamic chimps. You believe in the cool satanic book of the dead that the monkeys of the desert stole from the Egyptians and turned into christianity/muslimanity/judaismanity ;)

So many posts for something that it is art!
It is realy easy to critisize something that goes public. Especily if you can't create anything!!! Every artist, writer, perfomer, actor, painter and so on, exposes his soul to open view. Some like the prroduced art, some don't. Those who like, supports the artist and make him keep walking to his path of making history! The others, just throw shit at him. How can you critisize a pice of art? Are you the same dump who said that Guernica of Picasso is crap?! Oh! Yes, you are! Never mind. After all, opinion is like an ass hole! Everybody have one!
It's just the faith of art...

Just listen to the song fags it doesn't matter if it's sitanic its music look at ozzy he's the prince of darkness but he's christian lol I'm christian but i don't give a fuck how sitanic something Is it's still badass and I'd sell my soul for rock n roll anyday if I had to it's all good you know its cool it's cool

I just have to remember every one that this song even has parts of the bible. Books of revelations Chapeter 12, versicle 12 and Chapter 13 Versicle 18. And this is how the song begins!!!. How can a part of the bible be satanic???

i'm gonna keep this short and sweet, this is NOT more than a music! damn, the best music of hearvy metal (in my opinion) and you guys just takl "its satanic"! if i write any word wrong sorry i'm brazilian

Go die in a hole. Iron Maiden is easily one of the greatest metal band of all time, and yoou are insulting the title song of one of the best albums of all time. This was controversial shit back in the day, have some respect.

There's nothing for you to fight against,
you're so unreal it's evident.
You'll never be one of our kind,
this ain't yours, fuck you don't try.

Go home son, hang your costume up,
a goddamn insult to the rest of us.
Another name crossed off the list,
the real thing would kill you quick.

Up the fucking irons!

woah!! I'd hate to belong to band like iron maiden where I do what im told, n this songs sucks.. no creativity at all , 666 blah blah the number of the beast.. the beast can kiss my ass seriously.. this steve harris guy shud've played soccer instead. seriously!

Speaking as an unorganized Christian, this song is nothing more than a good horror story. Reminds me of Lovecraft's works, actually. The possession implied in the last lyric was a brilliant touch, I thought. I really don't get why there are so many arguments. There's nothing anti-Christian about any of this from the perspective of the singer, who seems pretty terrified of the events he sees. I could use the same logic as some to say that Schindler's List was pro Nazi because it was about the Holocaust.

Satan, Heaven, Hell, God... same shit as Cinderella or Golden Locks. Just, that this one is for adult minds. I don't care about Satan, God, deamons or angels. They do make a graphical point of view.

Besides, it's always fun to upset the narrow-minded religious pricks.

I don't care about beliefs. It's the human institute of crap selling it that bothers me. Belief and faith does not need dogmas for they are merely beliefs and faith. Facts need reasons and evidence.

"Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence" Carl Sagan.

this isn a satanic song , and the stupid idiot that say"i agree that it is satanic, because Maiden is metal" so , the band that creates metal , but christian metal still been satanic? think a little before posting.

And dont bother people who like this music , im a big metal fan , and not for listen a song like this im going to "hell" or "heaven" if you belive in something,dont try to convince other people to like it

the song is bout doomsday guys..
666 is one of the signs.. There's nothing pro-satanic in the lyrics of this song. Anyway the last verse.. According to some people the antichrist will be slain and the devil will possess his body. Damn it, you christians nowadays never look further into something.

Worship sucks. Some people are too extremist and have the need to believe there good and evil. They just can't count on themselves and need some "extra power" to live their lives.

You can take any song and put all your hate in it and blame it to the evil.
But this one song is just a piece of art. Read it w/o any emotion and you will see it's just a history telling.

This song is not satanic. That was repeatedly refused by the band members. As it has already been said before, it is about a nightmare of Steve Harris, and in this context there is nothing about satanism there, glorifying evil, nothing offending to any religion, or anything else like that. The last strophe could be understood that this dream is going to repeat torturing the sleeping person again.
But back in `82, it could have been pretty much provoking anyway.
Listen to Slayer or Venom if you want to listen to satanic lyrics...

is as follows. I am proud christian. and I think you all are making a tempest in a glass of water. just a song and nothing else. independent of the letter. what you really feel about God is the most important
