lyrics version 1
In the midst of the war he offered us peace
He came like a lover from out of the east
With the face of an angel and the heart of a beast
His intentions were six sixty six
He walked up to the temple with gold in his hand
And he bought off the priest and propositioned the land
And the world was his harlot and laid in the sand
While the band played six sixty six
La la na, la la na, na na la, na na na
Na na na, na na, na na na, na na na
Na na na, na na la, la na na, la la la
Na na na, na na na, na na na
We served at his table and slept on the floor
But he starved us and beat us and nailed us to the door
Well I'm ready to die, I can't take any more
And I'm sick of his lies and his tricks
He told us he loved us but that was a lie
There was blood in his pockets and death in his eye
Well my number is up and I'm willing to die
If the band will play six
If the band will play six sixty
If the band will play six sixty six
La la la [x18]

lyrics version 7
Under his love I'm convicted but forgiven
Under his love I've somehow passed the test
Although my life gets busy then I start missing him
Somehow I, under his love I've passed the test
Under his love, under his love I've passed the test
Without him I'm a tree without roots
I'm the lonely star of David in Beirut
I can't make it through without him
And I just don't know what to do
Without him I'll never know what's true
I'd be all alone and lost without you
Under your love I'm convicted but forgiven
He's an unidentified flying object
Coming back to take us home
Under your love I'm convicted but forgiven
In the midst of the war
Life was filled with guns and war
And everyone got trampled on the floor
I wish we'd all been ready
Children died, the days grew cold
A piece of bread could buy a bag of gold
I wish we'd all been ready
There's no time to change your mind
The son has come and you've been left behind
Under his love I'm convicted but forgiven
Under his love I've somehow passed the test
Messiah took this world by force
Messiah took this world by force
I could see people dying
I could hear children crying
I could see the cities falling
I could hear the angels calling
Messiah, Messiah, Messiah took this world by force
He took this world by force
Man and wife asleep in bed
An' she hears a noise and turns her head
He's gone
I wish we'd all been ready
Two men walking up a hill
One disappears, one's left standing still
I wish we'd all been ready
There's no time to change your mind
The son has come and you've been left behind
Messiah took this world by force
Messiah took this world by force
Rivers of blood were running
I could see the armies coming
I could see their weapons falling
Then I could hear the saviour calling
And Messiah, Messiah, Messiah, he took this world by force
Messiah, Messiah, Messiah, he took this world by force
Messiah, Messiah, he took this world by force
He will take this world by force
He will take this world by force
Life is filled with bombs and guns
Heaven help the little ones who die
I hope you'll all be ready
People, gold, oil, guns, bombs, AIDS, Iraq, Iran, Armageddon
I hope we'll all be ready
'Cause there won't be time to change our minds
And no excuse for being blind
The clouds will open up and Jesus will come down
Those who believe in him will go home to be with him
And those who don't believe will be left behind
Don't get left behind
Messiah, Messiah, don't get left behind
Messiah, Messiah, but don't get left behind
He's an unidentified fly, coming back to take us
Don't get left behind
Open up your mind and don't get left behind
He will take this world by
Tell me over and over and over and over again my friend
That you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction
Under his love I've somehow passed the test
Although my life gets busy then I start missing him
Somehow I, under his love I've passed the test
Under his love, under his love I've passed the test
Without him I'm a tree without roots
I'm the lonely star of David in Beirut
I can't make it through without him
And I just don't know what to do
Without him I'll never know what's true
I'd be all alone and lost without you
Under your love I'm convicted but forgiven
He's an unidentified flying object
Coming back to take us home
Under your love I'm convicted but forgiven
In the midst of the war
Life was filled with guns and war
And everyone got trampled on the floor
I wish we'd all been ready
Children died, the days grew cold
A piece of bread could buy a bag of gold
I wish we'd all been ready
There's no time to change your mind
The son has come and you've been left behind

Under his love I've somehow passed the test
Messiah took this world by force
Messiah took this world by force
I could see people dying

We served at his table and slept on the floor
But he starved us and beat us and nailed us to the door
Well I'm ready to die, I can't take any more
And I'm sick of his lies and his tricks
He told us he loved us but that was a lie
There was blood in his pockets and death in his eye
Well my number is up and I'm willing to die
If the band will play six
If the band will play six sixty
If the band will play six sixty six
La la la [x13]
lyrics version 15
Yeah [Spoken]
In the midst of the war he offered us peace
He came like a lover from out of the east
With the face of an angel and the heart of a beast
His intentions were six sixty six
He walked up to the temple with gold in his hand
And he bought off the priests and propositioned the land
And the world was his harlot and laid in the sand
While the band played six sixty six
Wa wa na na na [ETC]
We served at his table, slept on the floor
But he starved us 'n' beat us, he nailed us to the door
And I'm ready to die, I can't take any more
I'm so sick of his lies and his tricks
He told us he loved us, that was a lie
There was blood in his pockets and death in his eye
And my number is up and I'm ready to die
If the band will play six si...
If the band will play six sixty si...
If the band will play six sixty six
In the midst of the war he offered us peace
He came like a lover from out of the east
With the face of an angel and the heart of a beast
His intentions were six sixty six
He walked up to the temple with gold in his hand
And he bought off the priests and propositioned the land
And the world was his harlot and laid in the sand
While the band played six sixty six
Wa wa na na na [ETC]
We served at his table, slept on the floor
But he starved us 'n' beat us, he nailed us to the door
And I'm ready to die, I can't take any more
I'm so sick of his lies and his tricks
He told us he loved us, that was a lie
There was blood in his pockets and death in his eye
And my number is up and I'm ready to die
If the band will play six si...
If the band will play six sixty si...
If the band will play six sixty six
"Like other End Times songs which Larry has written, this is very evocative and plaintive; focusing upon the personal thoughts of the individual instead of the tapestry of suffering and world-wide war that is prophesied to occur before Christ's return to earth."
Check this out. It's terrifying.
