[Intro] A A G A [Verse]
A              A
I left alone, my mind was blank

           G                                 A
I needed time to think to get the memories from my mind

A                A
What did I see? Can I believe that what I saw

                G                    A
That night was real and not just fantasy?

A                 A
Just what I saw, in my old dreams, were they

               G                        A
Reflections of my warped mind staring back at me?

A              A
Cause in my dreams, it's always there

               G                        A
The evil face that twists my mind and brings me to despair
[Bridge] A A G A [Verse]
A                    A
The night was black, was no use holding back

               G                        A
Cause I just had to see, was someone watching me?

A                    A
In the mist, dark figures move and twist

               G                        A
Was all this for real or just some kind of hell?
[Chorus]
G    D/F#       G       A
666 the number of the beast

G         D/F#      G             A
Hell and fire was spawned to be released
[Verse]
A                    A
Torches blazed and sacred chants were phrased

               G                        A
As they start to cry, hands held to the sky

A                    A
In the night, the fires are burning bright

               G                        A
The ritual has begun, Satan's work is done
[Chorus]
G    D/F#       G       A
666 the number of the beast

G    D/F#      G         A
Sacrifice is going on tonight
[Bridge] A B C F A B C F
A                   B    C                     F
You know where you are? You're in the jungle, baby

A                B   C      F
You're going to die. Yeaaaaah!
[Solo] A B C F G A B C F G A B C F G A B C F [Verse]
A                    A
This can't go on, I must inform the law

               G                        A
Can this still be real, or just some crazy dream?

A                               A
But I feel drawn towards the chanting hordes

               G                        A
They seem to mesmerize, can't avoid their eyes
[Chorus]
G    D/F#       G       A
666 the number of the beast

G   D/F#         G      A
666 the one for you and me
[Verse]
A                    A
I'm coming back, I will return

             G                                A
And I'll possess your body and I'll make you burn

A                    A
I have the fire, I have the force

             G                               A
I have the power to make my evil take its course
[Outro] A A G A A A G A A A G A A A G A
