The Number of the Beast

Longboats have been sighted and the evidence of war has begun Many Nordic fighting men their swords and shields gleam in the sun Call to arms defend yourselves, get ready to stand and fight for your lives Judgment day has come around so be prepared don't run, stand your ground They're coming in from the sea They've come the enemy Beneath the blazing sun The battle has to be won Invaders... pillaging Invaders... looting Set ablaze the campfires alert, I know lucky other men from inland Warning must be given there's not enough men here for a stand The Vikings are too many much too powerful to take on our own We must have reinforcements we cannot fight this battle alone They're coming over the hill They've come to attack They're coming in for the kill There's no turning back Invaders... fighting Invaders... marauding Axes grind and maces clash as wounded fighters fall to the ground Severed limbs and fatal woundings bloody corpses lay all around The smell of death and burning flesh the battle weary fight to the end The Saxons have been overpowered victims of the mighty Norsemen You'd better scatter and run The battle's lost and not won You'd better get away to fight another day Invaders... raping Invaders... plundering

He’s walking like a small child But watch his eyes burn you away Black holes in his golden stare God knows he wants to go home Children of the damned Children of the damned Children of the damned Children of the damned He’s walking like a dead man If he had lived, he would have crucified us all Now he’s standing on his last step He thought oblivion well it beckons us all Children of the damned Children of the damned Children of the damned Children of the damned Now it’s burning his hands, he’s turning to laugh Smiles as the flame sears his flesh Melting his face, screaming in pain Peeling the skin from his eyes Watch him die according to plan He’s dust on the ground, what did we learn? Uoh-uo-oh-oh-oh-oh Uoh-uo-oh-oh-oh-oh Uoh-uo-oh-oh-oh-oh Uoh-uo-oh-oh-oh-oh Uoh-uo-oh-oh-oh-oh Uoh-uo-oh-oh-oh-oh Uoh-uo-oh-oh-oh-oh You’re children of the damned Your back’s against the wall You turn into the light You’re burning in the night You’re children of the damned Like candles watch them burn Burning in the light You’ll burn again tonight Children of the damned!

If you kill me, it’s self defense But if I kill you then I call it vengeance Spit in your eye I will defy You’ll be afraid when I call out your name Run, fight to breathe, it’s gonna be tough Now you see me and now you don’t Break the walls I’m coming out Not a prisoner, I’m a free man And my blood is my own now Don’t care where the past was I know where I’m going I’m not a number, I’m a free man Live my life where I want to You’d better scratch me from your black book ‘Cause I’ll run rings around you Not a prisoner, I’m a free man And my blood is my own now Don’t care where the past was I know where I’m going I’m not a number, I’m a free man Live my life where I want to You’d better scratch me from your black book ‘Cause I’ll run rings around you Not a prisoner, I’m a free man And my blood is my own now Don’t care where the past was I know where I’m going

If you're feeling down depressed and lonely I know a place where we can go, 22 Acacia Avenue, meet a lady that I know. So if you're looking for a good time and you're prepared to pay the price. Fifteen quid is all she asks for, everybody's got their vice. If you're waiting for a long time for the rest to do their piece, you can tell her that you know me and you might even get it free. So any time you're down the East End, don't you hesitate to go. You can take my honest word for it, she'll teach you more than you can know. Charlotte can't you get out from all this madness? Can't you see it only brings you sadness? When you entertain your men don't you know the risk of getting disease? Some day when you're reach the age of forty, I bet you'll regret the days when you were laying. Nobody then will want to know, you won't have any beautiful wares to show anymore. 22, the Avenue, that's the place where we all go. You will find it's warm inside, the red light's burning bright tonight. Charlotte, isn't it time you stopped this mad life, don't you ever think about the bad times? Why do you have to live this way, do you enjoy your lay, or is it the pay? Sometimes when your strolling down the avenue, the way you walk it make men think of having you. When you're walking down the street everybody stops and turns to stare at you. 22, the Avenue, that's the place where we all go. You will find it's warm inside, the red light's burning bright tonight. Beat her, mistreat her, do anything that you please. Bite her, excite her, make her get down on her knees. Abuse her, misuse her, she can take all that you've got Caress her, molest her, she always does what you want. You're running away, don't you know what you're doing? Can't you see it'll lead you to ruin? Charlotte, you've taken your life and you've thrown it away. You believe that because what you're earning, your life's good, don't you know that it's hurting all the people that love you? Don't cast them aside! All the men that are constantly drooling, it's no life for you, stop all that screwing. You're packing your bags, you're coming with me!

Shadows may hide you but also may be your grave You’re running today maybe tomorrow you’ll be saved You pray for the daylight to save you for a while You wonder if your children will face the killer’s smile Dead men, tell no tales Gangland, murder’s up for sale Dead men, tell no tales Gangland, where the jail birds die Face at the window leers into your own But it’s only your reflection still you tremble in your bones How long can you hide? How long till they come? A rat in a trap but you’ve got to survive Once you were glad to be free for a while The air tasted good and the world was your friend Then came the day when the hard times began Now you’re alone but alive for how long? Dead men, tell no tales In gangland, the murder’s up for sale Dead men, tell no tales In gangland, where the jail birds die Ah come on! A knife at your throat another body on the pile A contract to keep and it’s service with a smile Murder for vengeance or murder for gain Death on the streets or a blackened out jail Dead men, tell no tales Gangland, murder’s up for sale Dead men, tell no tales Gangland, where the jail birds die Dead men Dead men No more Gangland tell no tales!

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 'Cause at 5 o'clock they take me to the gallows pole The sands of time for me are running low, running low When the priest comes to read me the last rites Take a look through the bars at the last sights Of a world that has gone very wrong for me Can it be that 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 easy to stop from screaming but words escape me when I try to speak Tears fall but why am I crying, after all I'm not afraid of dying Don't I believe that there never is an end As the guards march me out to the courtyard Somebody cries from a cell "God be with you", if there's a God then why has He let me go? As I walk my life drifts before me, though the end is near I'm not sorry Catch my soul, it's willing to fly away Mark my words, believe my soul lives on Don't worry now that I have gone, gone beyond to seek the truth, yeah, yeah When you know that your time is close at hand Maybe then you'll begin to understand, life down here is just a strange illusion Ye-ye-yeah! Hallowed be thy name Ye-ye-yeah! Hallowed be thy name Ye-e-e-e-eah!
