01. The Number Of The Beast

Woe to you, oh earth and sea
For the Devil sends the beast with wrath
Because he knows the time is short
Let him who hath understanding
Reckon the number of the beast
For it is a human number
Its number is six hundred and sixty six

I left alone,
my mind was blank
I needed time to think
To get the memories from 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 mind staring back at me
'Cause in my dreams
it's always there

The evil face that twists my mind and brings me to despair

Night was black, was no use holding back
'Cause I just had to see, ¿was someone watching me?
In the mist, dark figures move and twist
Was all this for real or just some kind of Hell?

The number of the beast
Hell and fire
was spawned to be released
Torches blazed and sacred chants were praised
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

The number of the beast
Sacrifice 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
Seem to mesmerize
can't avoid their eyes

The number of the beast

the one for you and me
I'm coming back
I will return
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 take its course

02. Remember Tomorrow

Unchain the colors before my eyes
Yesterdays sorrows, tomorrows white lies
Scan the horizon, the clouds take me higher
I shall return from, out of the fire

Tears for remembrance, and tears for joy
Tears for somebody and this lonely boy
Out in the madness, the all seeing eye
Flickers above us, to light up the sky

Unchain the colors before my eyes
Yesterdays sorrows, tomorrows white lies
Scan the horizon, the clouds take me higher
I shall return from out of the fire
Oh no
Oh, yeah
