Code 666

Crash of empires, lines of sand
Written by a trembling hand
Digital messiahs preach
From the screens, they overreach
Burn the parchment, break the seal
Programming the new ideal
History's a glitchy file
Deleted with a cynical smile

They sold the truth for bits and bytes
Ignored the screams on fatal nights
The prophets knew, the cards were flawed
Now we obey the iron god!

SIX! SIX! SIX!
Scarlet number in the fix!
SIX! SIX! SIX!
Burning logic, broken sticks!
Crack the code, watch it bleed
Plant the apocalypse seed!
Obey the machine... Machine of greed!

Pestilence in ones and zeros
Terrified of modern heroes
Genocide in 3D sound
While the satellites spin 'round
Hypocrites and warlords trade
Lives for profit, plans are made
In the basement, wires hum
Waiting for the end to come

They washed the blood with alibis
And hung the truth between the lies
The final chapter's been unbarred
We're marching to the graveyard!

SIX! SIX! SIX!
Feel the hammer, taste the bricks!
SIX! SIX! SIX!
Break the code with crucifix!
Crack the screen, watch it bleed
Harvest the apocalyptic seed!
Obey the machine... The machine of greed!

The numbers dance upon the wall...
Humanity begins to fall...

THREE! SIX! SIX!
No more prayers, no more tricks!
SIX! SIX! SIX!
We are nothing but the ticks!
Crack the skull, watch it bleed
Sow the final, bitter seed!
We are the machine... We are the disease!

System failure...
Re-boot in hell...
Code six-six-six...
