The Number of the Beast

[Prologue]:("Woe to you, oh earth and seaFor the Devil sends the beast with wrathBecause he knows the time is shortLet him who hath understandingReckon the number of the beastFor it is a human numberIts number is six hundred and sixty six")

I left alone, my mind was blank,I needed time to thinkTo get the memories from my mindWhat did I see? Can I believe that what I sawThat night was real and not just fantasy?

Just what I saw in my old dreamsWere they reflections of my warped mind staring back at me'Cause in my dreams, it's always thereThe 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 twistWas all this for real or just some kind of Hell?

6 6 6, the number of the beastHell and fire was spawned to be released

Torches blazed and sacred chants were praisedAs they start to cry, hands held to the skyIn the night, the fires are burning brightThe ritual has begun, Satan's work is done

6 6 6, the number of the beastSacrifice is going on tonight

[Instrumental]

This can't go on, I must inform the lawCan this still be real, or just some crazy dream?But I feel drawn towards the chanting hordesSeem to mesmerize, can't avoid their eyes

6 6 6, the number of the beast6 6 6, the one for you and me

I'm coming back, I will returnAnd I'll possess your body, and I'll make you burnI have the fire, I have the forceI have the power to make my evil take its course
