Woe to you... (Oh) earth and sea
For the Devil sends the beast with wrath
Because he (1)__________ the time is short...
Let him who hath understanding reckon
The number of the (2)__________ for it is a human number
It's number is six (3)______________ and sixty six

I left alone, my mind was blank
I needed (4)________ to think
To get the memories (5)________ my mind
What did I see, can I believe?
That what I saw that night was real
And not just fantasy
Just what I saw
In my old dreams
Were they reflections
Of my warped (6)________ staring (7)________ at me
'Cause in my dreams
It's (8)____________ there
The evil face (9)________ (10)____________ my mind
And brings me to despair
Yeah!!!

The night was black, was no use holding back
'Cause I just had to see
Was someone watching me

Was all this for real, or just (12)________ (13)________ of hell
Six, six, six the (14)____________ of the beast

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 (27)________ its course
