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

It's 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 staring back at me

'Cause in my dreams, it's always there

The evil face that twists my mind and brings

Me to despair

Yeah!!!

The 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 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 chanting hordes

They seem to mesmerize, 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
