Master of puppets I'm pulling your strings,
Twisting your mind and smashing your dreams.
Blinded by me You can't see a thing,
Just call my name 'cause I'll hear you scream. [First added to this chart: 12/02/2011]

Woe to You Oh Earth and Sea
for the Devil sends the beast with wrath
because he knows the time is short
Let him who have understanding
reckon the number of the beast
for it is a human number
its number is six hundred and sixty six. [First added to this chart: 12/02/2011]
