Question

Answer 1

The song is inspired by a nightmare bandleader and bassist Steve Harris had after watching the movie "Damien: Omen II". "The Number of The Beast" is one of Iron Maiden's greatest hits, and is almost always performed during concert.
The song is about a man who was wandering alone and happens upon a portion of Hell on Earth, with people performing Satanic rituals and sacrifices. At first, he is disgusted and decides he must report this goings on to the law, but eventually becomes entranced by the whole ordeal and decides that he will return.
