|
So the beast resides in me |
|
Deep down I always knew |
|
I never really did fit in |
|
So diverse from all of you |
|
Let him who comprehends |
|
Know the number of the beast |
|
It's a number of a man |
|
A number just for me |
|
|
|
As the boy becomes a man |
|
Father's minions pave the way |
|
Set in motion now, Armageddon, |
|
Final conflict, end of days |
|
|
|
I embrace the hounds of hell |
|
And the power they oblige |
|
For the task that lies ahead |
|
The Nazarene I'll crucify |
|
They'll see the raptures of our kingdom |
|
They'll see the truth to mankind |
|
I'll show what hell truly is |
|
The monotony of their lives |
|
|
|
(Chorus) |
|
When the Jews return to Zion |
|
And a comet fills the sky |
|
The Holy Roman Empire rises |
|
And you and I must die |
|
From the eternal sea he rises |
|
Creating armies on either shore |
|
Turning man against his brother |
|
Till man exists no more |
|
|
|
(Interlude) |
|
Nazarene, what can you offer? |
|
Since the hour you vomited forth from the gaping womb of a woman |
|
You have done nothing but drown men's soaring desires |
|
In a delusion of sick sanctimonious morality |
|
I was conceived of a jackal |
|
Your pain on the cross was but a splinter compared to the agony of my father |
|
I will drive deeper the thorns into your rancid carcass |
|
You profaner of Isis |
|
Cursed Nazarene |
|
I will avenge thy torment |
|
|
|
(Bridge) |
|
Now Disciples of the Watch |
|
See your Prince of Darkness rise |
|
Through famine and destruction |
|
The Four Horsemen at my side |
|
I demand a victory, I demand a sacrifice |
|
Or spend all eternity |
|
In the flaccid gut of Christ! |
