THE NUMBER OF THE BEAST
(Harris)
"Woe to you, Oh Earth and Sea, 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." Revelations ch. XIII v. 18
I left alone my mind was blank I needed time to get the memories from my mind
What did I see can 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
Cos in my dreams it's always there the evil face that twists my mind and brings me to despair
The night was black was no use holding back Cos I just had to see was someone watching me In the mist dark figures move and twist was all this for real or some kind of hell 666 the Number of the Beast Hell and fire was spawned to be released
Torches blazed and sacred chants were praised as they start to cry hands held to the sky In the night the fires burning bright the ritual has begun Satan's work is done 666 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 some crazy dream but I feel drawn towards the evil chanting hordes they seem to mesmerise me...can't avoid their eyes 666 the Number of the Beast 666 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
THE TROOPER
(Harris)
You'll take my life but I'll take yours too You'll fire your musket but I'll run you through So when you're waiting for the next attack You'd better stand there's no turning back.
The bugle sounds and the charge begins But on this battlefield no one wins The smell of acrid smoke and horses breath As I plunge on into certain death.
The horse he sweats with fear we break to run The mighty roar of the Russian guns And as we race towards the human wall The screams of pain as my comrades fall
We hurdle bodies that lay on the ground And the Russians fire another round We get so near yet so far away We won't live to fight another day.
We get so close near enough to fight When a Russian gets me in his sights He pulls the trigger and I feel the blow A burst of rounds take my horse below.
And as I lay there gazing at the sky My body's numb and my throat is dry And as I lay forgotten and alone Without a tear I draw my parting groan
<A name=prowler>PROWLER
( )
Walking through the city, looking oh so pretty, I've just got to find my way. See the ladies flashing. All there legs and lashes. I've just got to find my way.
Well you see me crawling through the bushes with it open wide. What you seeing girl? Can't you believe that feeling, can't you believe it, Can't you believe your eyes? It's the real thing girl.
Got me feeling myself and reeling around, Got me talking but feel like walking around. Got me feeling myself and reeling a... Got me talking but nothing's with me... Got me feeling myself and reeling around.
TRANSYLVANIA

REMEMBER TOMORROW
(Harris/Di`Anno)
Unchain the colours before my eyes, Yesterday's sorrows, tomorrow's white lies. Scan the horizon, the clouds take me higher, I shall return from out of fire.
Tears for rememberance, and tears for joy, Tears for somebody and this lonely boy. Out in the madness, the all seeing eye, Flickers above us, to light up the sky.
Unchain the colours before my eyes, Yesterday's sorrows, tomorrow's white lies. Scan the horizon, the clouds take me higher, I shall return from out of fire.
WHERE EAGLES DARE
(Harris)
It's snowing outside the rumbling sound of engines roar in the night. The mission is near the confident men are waiting to drop from the sky.
The Blizzard goes on but still they must fly No one should go where eagles dare.
Bavarian alps that lay all around they seem to stare from below. The enemy lines a long time passed are lying deep in the snow.
Into the night they fall through the sky No one should fly where eagles dare.
They're closing in the fortress is near it's standing high in the sky. The cable car's the only way in it's really impossible to climb.
They make their way but maybe too late They've got to try to save the day.
The panicking cries the roaring of guns are echoing all around the valley. The mission complete they make to escape away from the Eagles Nest.
They dared to go where no one would try they chose to fly where eagles dare.
<A name=sanct>SANCTUARY
(Iron Maiden)
Out of the winter came a war horse of steel. I've never killed a woman before, but I know how it feels.
Chorus:
I know you'd have gone insane if you saw what I saw. So now I've got to look for sanctuary from the law. So give me sanctuary from the law and I'll be alright. Just give me sanctuary from the law and love me tonight, tonight.
I met up with a 'slinger last night to keep me alive. He spends all his money on gambling and guns to survive.
Chorus
I can laugh at the wind, I can howl at the rain. Down in the Canyon or out in the plain.
Chorus
RUNNING FREE
(Harris)
Just sixteen a pickup truck Out of money and out of luck I've got no place to call my own Hit the gas and here I go
I'm Running Free, yeah, I'm Running Free I'm Running Free, yeah, I'm Running Free
Spend the night in an L.A. jail Listen to the sirens wail But they ain't got a thing on me I'm running wild I'm Running free
I'm Running Free, yeah, I'm Running Free I'm Running Free, yeah, I'm Running Free
Pulled her at the Bottle Top whisky dancing disco hop And all the boys are after me And that's the way it's gonna be.
I'm Running Free, yeah, I'm Running Free I'm Running Free, yeah, I'm Running Free
RUN TO THE HILLS
(Harris)
White man came across the sea Brought us pain and misery Killed our tribes killed our creed Took our game for his own need
We fought him hard we fought him well Out on the plains we gave him hell But many came too much for Cree Oh will we ever be set free?
Riding through dustclouds and barren wastes Galloping hard on the plains Chasing the redskins back to their holes Fighting them at their own game Murder for freedom a stab in the back Women and children and cowards attack
Run to the hills run for your lives Run to the hills run for your lives
Soldier blue on the barren wastes Hunting and killing their game Raping the women and wasting the men The only good Indians are tame Selling them whisky and taking their gold Enslaving the young and destroying the old
Run to the hills run for your lives
<A name=2>2 MINUTES TO MIDNIGHT
(Smith/Dickinson)
Kill for gain or shoot to maim But we don't need a reason The Golden Goose is on the loose And never out of season
Some blackened pride still burns inside This shell of bloody treason Here's my gun for a barrel of fun For the love of living death.
Chorus:
The killer's breed or the demon's seed, The glamour, the fortune, the pain, Go to war again, blood is freedom's stain, But don't you pray for my soul anymore.
2 minutes to midnight The hands that threaten doom. 2 minutes to midnight To kill the unborn in the womb.
The blind men shout let the creatures out We'll show the unbelievers The napalm screams of human flames Of a prime time Belsen feast...YEAH!
As the reasons for the carnage cut their meat and lick the gravy, We oil the jaws of the war machine and feed it with our babies.
Chorus
The body bags and little rags of children torn in two And the jellied brains of those who remain to put the finger right on you. As the madmen play on words and make us all dance to their song, To the tune of starving millions to make a better kind of gun.
Chorus
Midnight...all night...
<A name=iron>IRON MAIDEN
(Harris)
Won't you come into my room, I want to show you all my wares, I just want to see your blood, I just want to stand and stare.
See the blood begin to flow, As it falls upon the floor, Iron maiden can't be fought, Iron maiden can't be sought.
Oh well, wherever you are, Iron Maiden's gonna get you, No matter how far, See the blood flow, Watching it shed, Up above my head, Iron maiden wants you dead.
HALLOWEED BE THY NAME
(Harris)
I'm waiting in my cold cell when the bell begins to chime Reflecting on my past life and it doesn't have much time Cos at 5 o'clock they take me to the Gallows Pole The sands of time for me are running low
When the priest comes to read me the last rites I take a look through the bars at the last sights Of a world that has gone very wrong for me
Can it be there's some sort of error Hard to stop the surmounting terror Is it really the end not some crazy dream
Somebody please tell me that I'm dreaming It's not so easy to stop from screaming But words escape me when I try to speak
Tears they flow but why am I crying After all I am not afraid of dying Don't believe that there is never an end
As the guards march me out to the courtyard Someone calls from a cell "God be with you" If there's a God then why has he let me die?
As I walk all my life drifts before me And though the end is near I'm not sorry Catch my soul cos it's willing to fly away
Mark my words please believe my soul lives on Please don't worry now that I have gone I've gone beyond to see the truth
When you know that your time is close at hand maybe then you'll begin to understand Life down there is just a strange illusion. |
