        G
In the midst of the war he offered us peace,
   D/F#                    G
He came like a lover from out of the east.
          G
With the face of an angel and the heart of a beast,
      D/F#          C        G
His intentions were six sixty six.

       G
He walked up to the temple with gold in his hand
        D/F#                           G
And he bought off the priests and propositioned the land.
      G
The world was his harlot and laid in the sand
          D/F#          C        G
While the band played six sixty six.

Instrumental break  (equivalent to one verse)

      G
We served at his table and slept on the floor,
        D/F#                       G
But he starved us and beat us and nailed us to the door.
            G
Well I'm ready to die I can't take any more,
        D/F#          C           G
And I'm sick of his lies and his tricks.

     G
He told us he loved us but that was a lie,
          D/F#                       G
There was blood in his pockets and death in his eyes.
          G
Well my number is up and I'm willing to die,
       D/F              C
If the band will play six . . .
       D/F#             C
If the band will play six sixty . . .
       D/F#             C        G
If the band will play six sixty six.
