G
In the midst of the war, He offered us peace,
C G
And he came like a lover, From out of the east,
With the face of an angel and the heart of a beast,
C D G
His intentions were six-sixty-six.
G
He walked up to the temple, With gold in his hands,
C G
And he bought off the priests and propositioned the land,
And the world was his harlot, and laid in the sand,
C D G
While the band played six-sixty-six
G
We served at his table, and we slept on the floor,
C G
But he starved us and beat us, and nailed us to the door
Well, I'm ready to die, I can't take any more
C D G
And I'm sick of his lies and his tricks
Solo chords: G C G C D G
G
He told us he loved us, But that was a lie,
C
There was blood in his pockets
G
And death in his eyes
Well, my number is up, And I'm willing to die
C D
If the band will play six
C D
If the band will play six-sixty
C D G
If the band will play six-sixty-six
