| | 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?

And the fact that you think that all rock music is satanic means that no, you aren't open minded. Condemning a genre of music doesn't make you a good Christian, it makes you close minded and judgmental. And it's not rock guitar it's electric guitar. The best way to piss off stupid religious people! | Reviewer: Sebastian Gomez | 11/23/09 Off course, I'm an Atheist (Like any person with an IQ above room temperature), and I don't believe in neither God nor Satan. but the best way to piss off stupid catholics is to troll them with satanic chants. So, here goes my congratulations for one of the better classics of metal of all times. I agree, you guys are over reacting. | Reviewer: Anonymous | 10/30/09 Why argue? Both atheists and religious people need to shut up, and enjoy the songs. I am catholic, but why are you guys putting religious debates on every song that has the word "God" or "satan" in it. Everyone can keep that stuff to themselves and not shove their ideas down eachothers throats. ?? | Reviewer: Anonymous | 10/23/09 Hey I'm a Christian I don't think this song is satanic and to timjim and anyone else who does Nicko Mcbrain is a born again Christian and he still plays this song in concert and to that guy a couple of pages ago Bruce is a Catholic? I thought the only religious one was Nicko. He said that yes it is about a dream that Steve had and he also said that the greatest trick the devil ever played on him was making him think he didn't exist and check out Maiden's new album songs like For the Greater Good of God, The Pilgrim, and an earlier song Name Of The Rose. Here's 10 reasons why: 1. Nicko Mcbrain is a born again Christian. 2. There is another song on the album called Hallowed Be Thy Name which is a quote from the Lord's Prayer. 3. The cover for the has Eddie holding the Devils head, which means that Eddie, a fictional character, can defeat the Devil. 4. On their next album, Piece of Mind, they again quote Revelations, vs 21:4.7 or something like that I believe on the song Revelations or Still Life. 5. Any lyrics that they talk about religion are about people construing it or abusing it for their own gain or about using God as an excuse for their deeds. 6. The beginning starts with a quote from Revelations vs 13:18. 7. Last page of the inside booklet it says: "This album is dedicated to Headbangers, Earthdogs, Rivet Heads, Hell Rats, and Metal Maniacs everywhere." It doesn't say "This album is dedicated to Satanists and Hell Lovers and Jesus Haters everywhere." 8. In the Song The Rime of the Ancient Mariner it says, "To teach God's word by his own example, that we must love all things that God has made." 9. There is a Thanks and Special Thanks section where are no satanic figures are made. Look at the lyrics to Hallowed Be Thy Name, quite spiritual. I'm tired of all the Fundamentalist Christians who are all "Iron Maiden are the Devil's Favorite Band!" "Led Zeppelin: Straight From Hell" anyways I don't know if LZ are satanic but that's not my job, it's God's job. "Rock Music is the Devils Advocate!" "Rock music is destroying the world!" "Any Christian who likes rock music should be ashamed of themselves!" I'm tired of the Atheists who are all "How can you believe in that bullshit!" "The Bible is the biggest myth!" "Religion has destroyed the earth!" "Christians are retarded!" "Jesus is the real satan!" my gosh Please | Reviewer: Anonymous | 10/23/09 I thought that Nicko Mcbrain's conversion to Christianity would shut up the people who thought Maiden were satanists. I was wrong. Let me make it clear that I am a Christian, I believe in Jesus, he is my savior, if Iron Maiden was satanic why would Nicko still be in the band?" He considers thsi song a warning against satanism. Check out A Matter of Life And Death, or the song Hallowed Be Thy Name, it's about Faith. Atheists and Christians just shut up, please. Messages Equal Behaviours | Reviewer: pimper | 10/19/09 We should all agree that music can contain subliminal messages and can also affect behaviour. Any music can, but thats a moot point. I really dig the Maids, but as a matter of personal choice i reject this song as well as Total Eclipse (ie i dont play them)... I cant chant '666 the one for you and me' and feel positive about it. Im not here to tell you that youre going to hell if u do, thats up to each of individual to figure. All i can say is that songs like these, with such clearly negative invocations make me want to brake things. I could play dumb and say that i wonder why that is, but deep down i know why it is. So i simply use the skip button. I really dig Maiden, but thatll never get in the way of me and my God. Biblical incite | Reviewer: timjim | 10/19/09 And don't marvel for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness....2 Corinthians 11:14-15 Reply to timjim's reply | Reviewer: Devon | 10/11/09 Metal isn't my "God" <_<. Metal is my lifestyle. I do believe in God, I go to Church. Mind you I do have my own beliefs in things, but as should everyone. I'm not angry all the time. Yeah, I get annoyed when people find the oddest, out-there reasons to condemn a genre of music. I have a wide taste in music, not just rock and metal. But I'm listening to Jack Johnson now. And I like Fort Minor and Linkin Park and Rage Against The Machine. If Rock instills fear in you, so be it dude. But Rock is not the "devil's work". I've never made any decisions based on what music I listen to. I'm my own man. I'm a history buff.. Not because some band makes me that way, but because I like History. I'm a straight-edge guy, I don't do drugs, drink or smoke. Again, not because some band tells me to or not, but because I make my own decisions. OMG. | Reviewer: Eduardo Kapp | 10/11/09 GUYS! It's just music. I don't even mind if it's talking about satan, or inviting,cause it's not. Stop saying shit, just listen to the song. I listen to rock'n roll of all genres since 8 years old, and i know , they don't even think in the musics. If i want to i would make a 'satanic' music now, but i don't even believe in god,or him. In resume, don't get music with religious things. haha to devon | Reviewer: timjim | 10/6/09 First of all I wasn't trying to anger anyone I to would get angry at people when they told me that my god (rock and roll) was evil. I also looked up in the online encyclopedia and its says what you say it says about the song being just a dream. KISS claims they got there name from just driving down the road and one of the band members says what about the name KISS and the band members agreed and that is how they supposibly got the name. How do you know these people are telling the truth. Last Christmas I had one of my little anger spells got mad at some of my reletives for some supid little thing and walked out in the middle of dinner. I couldn't figger out what was wrong with me and for some reason I got on my computor and started doing research on rock music. what caused me to research this nothing short of a miracle.I was convicted that very night but I decided that until I was ready to completely change there was no use giving it up it wasn't till around two months ago I was jogging down on my tred mill getting pumped up with queensryche and I felt a burst of fear and shortly after that the lights misteriously snaped off and it was completely dark. I was dumb enough to go up and turn it back on. Shortly after that I decided to give up this music not because I had to but because I was to afraid to listen to it. As soon as I did I started imediatly looking at life different and a few days after that I became saved. I also gave up 8 years of playing rock guitar and started playing acoustic,So i'm not just some ignorant person in fact i'm very open minded I'm just aware that life is full of deception and I care about people who are being decieved. So you say I don't want God If I have to give up rock and roll but guess what rock and metal don't send you to hell Its the decisions that it causes you to make. why don't you get mad at the government because they tell you that if you commit a crime you will go to prison. If that is the way the government is then should we just rebell and go to prison. they give you rules to protect you and other people just like God does. Why doesn't the devil get any blame in this he's the cause of this all. He dosen't even want you he just wants to destroy you. Why would a loving God allow the devil to destroy you, you ask, He just simply gives you a choice sink or swim. The human nature is designed for worship if you don't serve the Lord you will serve something else like music. If you look at a lot of these replies you will see most of the people defending this song cursing those who oppose because iron maiden is a god to them. I'm not trying to shoove anything down your throats I just see you falling off a cliff and I'm throwing you a rope.
