Zwan是一个来自美国的摇滚乐队，由前Smashing Pumpkins主唱Billy Corgan成立。他们于2003年发行了一张名为"Mary Star of the Sea"的专辑，其中包括了一首备受关注的歌曲《The Number Of The Beast》。 《The Number Of The Beast》是该专辑的第六首歌曲，取自英国重金属乐队Iron Maiden的同名歌曲。Billy Corgan表示，他选择翻唱这首歌曲是因为它具有非常强烈的能量和暴力感。他试图以他自己的方式重新演绎这首经典作品，并赋予自己的音乐风格。Zwan版的《The Number Of The Beast》采用了更加清晰、有力的吉他演奏，使这首歌曲更加强劲有力。 歌曲的灵感来源于圣经中的启示录，并以黑暗的意象和引人入胜的旋律配合，诉说着一位受难者面对邪恶的反抗和信仰的坚定。歌曲的歌词中充满了暴力、血腥的描述，让听众感受到一种强烈的恐惧感和敬畏之情。同时，歌曲也表达了对善恶之间斗争的思考和探索。 以下是歌曲的歌词： Woe to you, O 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 get the memories from my mind What did I see? Could 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 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 666, the number of the beast Hell and fire was spawned to be released Torches blazed, sacred chants were praised 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 666, the number of the beast Sacrifice is going on tonight The lyrics of《The Number Of The Beast》 convey a dark message of evil and terror. It reminds us of the struggle between good and evil and the importance of standing firm in one's beliefs. The powerful guitar riffs and intense vocals of the song make it a classic of the heavy metal genre.
