| Have any of you ever read ANY of the album covers? I think it's in the Number of the BEast one where it gives the opening verse to Number of the Beast and then a Bible reference. Look it up and you will see the opening part to Number of the Beast, but in slightly different words. Therefore, it's pretty easy to conclude that they found the quote and made a song about it, rather than watching the Omen and having nightmares. He may have done that too, but Revelations is definatly a key part. | |

| Most people think this one is related to satanism, due to those 666's stated by han2 also. But the song is rather about a dream, or nightmare, whatever, of Steve Harris. | |
