"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
|
|
'Cos in my dream it's always there the evil face that twists my mind
|
and brings me to despair
|
|
The night was black was no use holding back
|
'Cos I just had to see was someone watching me
|
In the mist dark figures move and twist
|
Was this all for real or some kind of hell
|
666 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 burning bright
|
The ritual has begun Satan's work is done
|
666 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 evil chanting hordes
|
They seem to mesmerise me... can't avoid their eyes
|
666 the number of the beast
|
666 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 it's course
