The Number Of The Beast by Iron Maiden

Woe to you... (Oh) earth and sea
For the (1)__________ sends the (2)__________ with wrath
Because he knows the (3)________ is short...
Let him who (4)________ understanding reckon
The number of the beast for it is a human number
It's number is six hundred and sixty six

I (5)________ alone, my mind was blank
I needed time to think
To get the (6)________________ from my mind
What did I see, can I believe?
That what I saw that (7)__________ was real
And not just fantasy
Just (8)________ I saw
In my old dreams
Were they reflections
Of my warped (9)________ (10)______________ back at me
'Cause in my dreams
It's always there
The evil face that twists my mind
And brings me to despair
Yeah!!!

'Cause I just had to see
Was (12)______________ watching me
In the mist, dark figures (13)________ and twist
Was all this for real, or (14)________ some kind of hell
Six, six, six the (15)____________ of the beast

As they start to cry, hands held to the sky
In the night, the (18)__________ burning bright
The ritual has begun, Satan's work is done
Six, six, six the number of the beast

This can't go on, I (20)________ (21)____________ the law
Can this (22)__________ be real or just (23)________ (24)__________ dream
But I feel drawn towards the evil chanting hordes
They seem to mesmerize

Six, six, six the number of the beast
Six, six, six the one for you and me

I'm coming back, I (26)________ return
And I'll possess your body and I'll make you burn
I have the fire, I (27)________ the force
I have the power to make my evil take its course
