about

From the album Shouting In The Storm, but with the spoken part at the end removed. A little of the song ending is removed in the process

lyrics

​​In the midst of the war he offered us peace
He came like a lover from out of the east
With the face of an angel and the heart of a beast
His intentions were six sixty six

He walked up to the temple with gold in his hand
He bought off the priests and propositioned the land
The world was his harlot and laid in the sand
While the band played six sixty six

We served at his table and slept on the floor
But he starved us and beat us and nailed us to the door
Well my number is up, I can't take any more
And I'm sick of his lies and his tricks

He told us he loved us but that was a lie
There was blood in his pockets and death in his eye
Well my number is up and I'm ready to die
If the band will play six
If the band will play six sixty
If the band will play six sixty six

Ah yeah
