Riff 8

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."
(Revelations, ch. XIII, v.18)

Intro

[riff 1]     [riff 1]
I left alone my mind was blank

riff 2

I needed time to think,

riff 1

to get the memories from my mind
[riff 1]       [riff 1]
What did I see can I believe

riff 2

that what I saw that night was real

riff 1

and not just fantasy?
[riff 1]         [riff 1]
Just what I saw in my old dreams

riff 1

Were the reflections of my warped mind

riff 2

staring back at me
[riff 1]         [riff 1]
Cos in my dreams it's always there
[riff 2]                  [riff 1]
The evil face that twists my mind
and brings me to despair

The night was black was no use holding back
Cos I just had to see

was someone watching me

In the mist dark figures move and twist
Was all this for real

As they start to cry

In the night the fires burning bright
The ritual has begun

They seem to mesmerise me...

666 the Number of the Beast
666 the one for you and me

And I'll possess your body and I'll make you burn
