[length: 04:50]
[00:00.66]Woe to you, oh earth and sea
[00:04.35]For the Devil sends the beast with wrath
[00:08.73]Because he knows the time is short
[00:12.15]Let him who hath understanding reckon the number of the beast
[00:16.95]For it is a human number
[00:19.40]Its number is 666
[00:28.26]I left alone, my mind was blank
[00:34.07]I needed time to think
[00:36.51]To get the memories from my mind
[00:39.98]What did I see? Can I believe
[00:45.85]That what I saw that night was real and not just fantasy?
[00:51.91]Just what I saw in my old dreams
[00:58.13]Were they reflections of my warped mind staring back at me?
[01:04.41]’Cause in my dreams it’s always there
[01:10.47]The evil face that twists my mind and brings me to despair
[01:30.29]Night was black, was no use holding back
[01:34.59]’Cause I just had to see, was someone watching me?
[01:40.19]In the mist, dark figures move and twist
[01:44.12]Was all this for real or just some kind of Hell?
[01:49.53]Six, six, six, the number of the beast
[01:54.58]Hell and fire was spawned to be released
[02:00.55]Torches blazed and sacred chants were praised
[02:04.84]As they start to cry, hands held to the sky
[02:10.41]In the night, the fires are burning bright
[02:14.39]The ritual has begun, Satan’s work is done
[02:19.62]Six, six, six, the number of the beast
[02:24.28]Sacrifice is going on tonight
[03:42.05]This can’t go on, I must inform the law
[03:46.52]Can this still be real, or just some crazy dream?
[03:51.61]But I feel drawn towards the chanting hordes
[03:55.92]Seem to mesmerize, can’t avoid their eyes
[04:01.29]Six, six, six, the number of the beast
[04:05.67]Six, six, six, the one for you and me
[04:12.35]I’m coming back, I will return
[04:18.25]And I’ll possess your body and I’ll make you burn
[04:24.31]I have the fire, I have the force
[04:29.95]I have the power to make my evil take its course
