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

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 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 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 some crazy dream

But I feel drawn towards the chanting hordes

They seem to mesmerize me 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 it's course
