[Intro]
D
[Verse]
D
I left alone, my mind was blank.
C                                             D
  I needed time to think, to get the memories from my mind.
D
What did I see?
D            C                                                 D
Can I believe that what I saw that night was real and not just fantasy.
D
Just 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   D
Yeahhhhhh
[Verse]
    D
The night was black, was no use holding back
                                      C        D
'Cause I just had to see, was someone watching me
D
In the mist dark figures move and twist
                                    C       D
Was all this for real, or just some kind of hell?
[Chorus]
C       G/B      C             D
Six six six, the number of the beast
C        G/B      C               D
Hell and fire was spawned to be released
[Verse]
D
Torches blazed and sacred chants were praised
                                C       D
As they start to cry hands held to the sky
D
In the night the fires are burning bright
                              C       D
The ritual has begun, Satan's work is done
[Chorus]
C       G/B      C             D
Six six six, the number of the beast
C    G/B     C          Dm
Sacrifice is going on tonight

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