| The Number of the Beast Lyrics Artist(Band):Iron Maiden
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 lived alone my mind was blank I needed time to think to get the memories from my mind What did I see? Could 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 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 6-6-6 the Number of the Beast Hell and fire was spawned to be released Torches blazed and sacred chants were phrased 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 6-6-6 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 mesmerise...can't avoid their eyes 6-6-6 the Number of the Beast 6-6-6 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'll have the fire I'll have the force I'll have the power to make my evil take its course If you find some error in The Number of the Beast Lyrics, would you please submit your corrections to me?

In the book of Revelation, John warns of the beast and its mark and so forth (read it), that's where the narration at the intro come from. In chapter 22, the angel says 'do not seal this book,' In other words, tell people about it and warn them. Whether or not Iron Maiden are warning people I don't know but they're getting the message out aren't they. Isn't "I have the power to let my evil take its course," a warning. So to those of you 'Holy' people, stop condemning it. Don't take the song ir the meaning to heart but don't condemn it either. Think about this, they got the message out..You or I don't know how many understand its meaning but hasn't God blessed them beyond their wildest dreams? Maybe they wrote it in an "evil" context but the message of Revelation couldn't be clearer... so let him who hath understanding reckon the number of the beast. For it is the number of man, its number is 666.... UP THE IRONS!!!! Whatever | Reviewer: Lucas | 6/25/09 It's a FUCKING SONG. A fucking awesome song, but still just a song. Either way, throughout most of the song he's trying to resist. It's only at the end that he doesn't because he's posessed or something. And if you're gonna pick on one "satanic" band, pick on them all: AC/DC, Black Sabbath, you know the drill. AMAZING ASS SONG | Reviewer: CODER | 6/22/09 This song is one of the reasons I'm an Iron Maiden fan, I think Bruce Dickinson has one of the most amazing voices ever, I love how he can just belt that shit out!!! he is second only to James Hetfield in my oppinion.. NICE JOB GUYS!!! AWESOME ASS SONG!!!! It is satanic... | Reviewer: pimper | 6/21/09 I know, i know... the song has awesome riffs and Bruces scream at the begining is awsomely gutteral... but lets not kid ourselves... it is satanic. The lyrics take the book of revelations out of context and actually glorify the crossing over into the darkside 'i have the fire, i have the force'; justifying its allure (66...the one for you and me) and also justifying posession 'mesmerize, i cant resist'. Furthermore, unlike Black Sabbaths self-titled debut track, there is no moral resolution or contricion, just the acceptance of evil... its there plain and simple. Anyone who can honestly ignore this is looking too deeply into something that isnt there, or are just being argumentative for the sake of it (litrally playing devils advocate, if you will); in fact, unlike '2 minutes to midnight' this song isnt clever at all... I mean if Harris is saying its about a dream, well i can say i was dreaming when i wrote this too. Also about Tom Araya being Christian, well hes not - the main doctrine of any Christian denomination is to respect its teachings, one of these ways is to explicitly reject Satan and his work - this isnt hard to do! I could say im a duck or an astro-scientist - but that would just make me facetious... rock stars are can be tougne in cheek too. Satanic | Reviewer: Anonymous | 5/25/09 They have been openly critisized in the music industry for being satanic. Haha. They're one of the most conroversial metal bands since...black sabbath i guess. I always thought the satanic thing was just a way of expressing their freedom. Their freedom to express their freedom through music. The whole satanic thing is just a gimmik, like naked ladies on hip-hop videos. Please. | Reviewer: Anonymous | 4/12/09 Really, this song does not glorify Satan. I am religious, but I tend to use my brain, so I can see that it in no way praises him. Anyone who still thinks it does AFTER reading the lyrics must be illiterate. Number of the Beast | Reviewer: Anonymous | 4/1/09 Ok seriously people, you are stupid as fuck. If you think this is satanic then you most think the theme to "My Little Pony," is Hard Rock. Honestly this song has nothing to do with Satan, it's about one of the guitarist's dreams he had, and he thought it would make a good song for the "Number of the Beast" album. So it really had nothing to do with Satan when it was written. So all you people can go put a gun to your head 'cause of how stupid you really are. Does not praise Satan | Reviewer: Jesus Freak | 3/24/09 This does not praise Satan it describes what happens in revelations and shows human nature at first he thinks he is dreaming then he says this must stop he must inform the lord but everyone is tested and many will falter in their faith this man in the song was influenced by Satan and will not enter the kingdom of heaven Everyone will be tested but only the strong in faith will enter the kingdom of heaven. this song's amazing!!! | Reviewer: ann | 3/19/09 Well the most rock n' metal songs talk about devil, hell etc. So what? I don't think Iron Maiden glorify Satan, it's just a song! Say it with me... a song! And if they were? Whatever they do, they'll always be the most amazing british heavy metal band! Respect! C'mon people, is just a song! | Reviewer: Aasdasd | 2/28/09 There is no Satan. Just thinkigs of people.C'mon, if it did really existed, he would already killed us. Nor god exists, if he loves us, why he lets us destroy the planet? Ok, I WONT Discuss religions. I will just enjoy the song.
