The number of the beast

Written by Stephen Percy Harris

	  		 
 
     D                         C 
I left alone my mind was blank  
                                     D 
I needed time to get the memories from my mind 
                               C 
What did I see can I believe that what I saw 
                                    D        
that night was real and not just fantasy 
 D 
Just what I saw in my old dreams were they 
  C                                      D 
reflections of my warped mind staring back at me 
 D 
Cos in my dream it's always there 
    C                                              D 
the evil face that twists my mindand brings me to despair  
 
C D  /  C D  / D C  / C D 
 
     D 
The night was black was no use holding back 
                                    C      D 
Cos I just had to see was someone watching me 
  D 
In the mist dark figures move and twist 
                                C      D 
was this all for real or some kind of hell 
C G       C             D 
666 the number of the beast 
 C        G       C                D 
Hell and fire was spawned to be released 
 
 D 
Torches blazed and sacred chants were praised 
                                C       D 
as they start to cry hands held to the sky 
 D 
In the night the fires burning bright 
                              C        D 
the ritual has begun Satan's work is done 
 
C G       C             D 
666 the number of the beast 
 C     G      C         D 
Sacrifice is going on tonight 
 
 D 
This can't go on I must inform the law 
                                 C     D 
Can this still be real or some crazy dream 
D 
but I feel drawn towards the evil chanting hordes 
                                      C          D 
they seem to mesmerise me ... can't avoid their eyes 
 
 
C G       C             D 
666 the number of the beast 
C G       C             D 
666 the one for you and me 
 
 D                             C 
I'm coming back I will return 
                                           D 
And I'll possess your body and I'll make you burn 
 D 
I have the fire I have the force 
   C 
I have the power to make my evil take it's course 
 
C D  /  C D  / D C  / C  DCD
