[repeat intro]
saw in my own dreams were the re-
flections of my warped mind staring
back at me.
`Cos in my dreams it`s always there. The evil
face that twists my mind and brings me
to despair.

[verse]
D!
Night was black was no use holding back `Cos I just
C! D!
had to see was some-one watching me
D!
In the mist dark figures move and twist was all
C! D!
this for real or just some kind of hell

[chorus]
C! G! C! D!
Six six six the num-ber of the beast
Hell and fire was born to be released

[play verse]
Torches blazed and secret chants were phrased 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

C! G! C! D!
Six six six the num-ber of the beast
Sac- ri- fice 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 seems to
mesmerize can`t avoid their eyes

C! G! C! D!
Six six six the num-ber of the beast
Six six six the one for you and me

[play intro]
I`m coming back I will return
And I`ll posess 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 it`s course
