Woe to you oh earth and sea. for the devil sends the beast with wrath.
becaouse 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 666 


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


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
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 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 its course
