Dm
[Verse]
Dm
I left alone, my mind was blank.
C Dm
I needed time to think, to get the memories from my mind.
Dm
What did I see?
C Dm
Can I believe that what I saw that night was real and not just fantasy.
Dm
Just what I saw in my old dreams
C Dm
Were they reflections of my warped mind staring back at me?
Dm
'Cause in my dreams it's always there
C Dm
The evil face that twists my mind and brings me to despair
[Chorus]
Am C Dm
Six six six, the number of the beast
Am C Dm
Hell and fire was spawned to be released
[Verse]
Dm
Torches blazed and sacred chants were praised
C Dm
As they start to cry hands held to the sky
Dm
In the night the fires are burning bright
C Dm
The ritual has begun, Satan's work is done
[Chorus]
Am C Dm
Six six six, the number of the beast
Am C Dm
Hell and fire was spawned to be released

Six six six, the number of the beast

Sacrifice is going on tonight

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
