[Intro]
 
D
 
[Verse]
 
DI left alone, my mind was blank.
C D I needed time to think, to get the memories from my mind.
DWhat did I see?
D C DCan I believe that what I saw that night was real and not just fantasy.
 
DJust what I saw in my old dreams
C D Were they reflections of my warped mind staring back at me?
D'Cause in my dreams it's always there
C D The evil face that twists my mind and brings me to despair
 
[Bridge]
 
D C DYeahhhhhh
 
[Verse]
 
DThe night was black, was no use holding back
C D'Cause I just had to see, was someone watching me
DIn the mist dark figures move and twist
C DWas all this for real, or just some kind of hell?
 
[Chorus]
 
C G/B C DSix six six, the number of the beast
C G/B C DHell and fire was spawned to be released
 
[Verse]
 
DTorches blazed and sacred chants were praised
C DAs they start to cry hands held to the sky
DIn the night the fires are burning bright
C DThe ritual has begun, Satan's work is done
 
[Chorus]
 
C G/B C DSix six six, the number of the beast
C G/B C DmSacrifice is going on tonight

[Verse]
 
DThis can't Go on I must inform the law
C DCan this still be real or just some crazy dream?
DBut I feel drawn towards the chanting hordes
C DThey seem to mesmerise, can't avoid their eyes
 
[Chorus]
 
C G/B C DSix six six, the number of the beast
C G/B C DSix six six, the one for you and me
 
[Verse]
 
DI'm coming back
DI will return
C D And I'll possess your body and I'll make you burn
DI have the fire
DI have the force
C D I have the power to make my evil take its course
 
[Outro]
