Lyrics

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
 ♪
 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?
 Six six six, the number of the beast
 Hell and fire was spawned to be released
 Torches blazed and 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
 Six six six, 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
 Seem to mesmerize, can't avoid their eyes
 Six six six, the number of the beast
 Six six six, 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
