  • 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

    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

    Nazarene, what can you offer?
    Since the hour you vomited forth
    from the gaping wound of a woman,
    you have done nothing but drown mens' soaring desires
    in a deluge of 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.

    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! Writer/s: JON SCHAFFER
