Larry Norman - Six Sixty Six 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
And he bought off the priests
And propositioned the land
And 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, I'm ready to die 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 eyes well my number is up
And I'm willing to die
If the band will play Six Six

If the band will play Six Sixty Six

If the band will play Six Sixty Six
