            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
            
            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?
            
            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 are 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 just some crazy dream?
            But I feel drawn towards the chanting hordes
            Seem to mesmerize, 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 its course
