The Number Of The Beast by Iron Maiden

Woe to you... (Oh) earth and sea
For the Devil sends the (1)__________ with wrath
Because he (2)__________ the (3)________ is short...
Let him who (4)________ (5)__________________________ reckon
The number of the beast for it is a (6)__________ number
It's number is six hundred and (7)__________ six

I left alone, my (8)________ was blank
I needed (9)________ to think
To get the memories from my mind
What did I see, can I believe?
That what I saw (10)________ night was real
And not (11)________ fantasy
Just what I saw
In my old dreams
Were they reflections
Of my warped (12)________ staring back at me
'Cause in my dreams
It's (13)____________ there
The (14)________ face that (15)____________ my mind
And brings me to despair
Yeah!!!

The night was black, was no use holding back
'Cause I just had to see
Was (16)______________ watching me
In the mist, dark (17)______________ move and twist
Was all this for real, or just some kind of hell
Six, six, six the number of the beast
Hell and fire was spawned to be released

Torches blazed and sacred (18)____________ (19)________ praised
As (20)________ start to cry, (21)__________ held to the sky
In the night, the (22)__________ burning bright
The ritual has begun, Satan's work is done
Six, six, six the (23)____________ of the beast
Sacrifice is going on tonight

This can't go on, I (24)________ inform the law
Can (25)________ (26)__________ be (27)________ or just some crazy dream
But I feel drawn towards the evil chanting hordes
They seem to mesmerize
Can't avoid their eyes
Six, six, six the number of the beast
Six, six, six 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 have the fire, I have the force
I have the power to make my evil take its course
