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 I left alone My mind was blank I needed time to think 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? 'Cause in my dreams It's always there The evil face that twists my mind and brings me to despair Yeah! The night was black, was no use holding back 'Cause I just had to see, was someone watching me? In the mist, dark figures move and twist Was all this for real or just some kind of hell? 6-6-6, the number of the beast Hell and fire was spawned to be released Torches blazed and sacred chants were phrased As they start to cry, hands held to the sky In the night, the fires are burning bright The ritual has begun, Satan's work is done 6-6-6, 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 just some crazy dream? But I feel drawn towards the chanting hordes They seem to mesmerize Can't avoid their eyes 6-6-6, the number of the beast 6-6-6, 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

A faixa "Run to the Hills", lançada como single do álbum, foi a primeira Entrada do Iron Maiden no top dez do Reino Unido.
O álbum gerou controvérsia, especialmente nos Estados Unidos, devido às referências religiosas em sua capa e na letra da música título.
Desde o lançamento, "The Beast" tornou-se um apelido para o Iron Maiden, aparecendo em títulos de álbuns como Best of the Beast e Visions of the Beast.
