Six Sixty Six

Testament, Revelation
This darkness creation
His dark disciples transfix
Six hundred threescore and six

His number is feared
In the world of the light
He may be the saviour
Who's wrong, who's right

Six one six
Also in history
To reveal it's reality
Open it's mystery

This numbers power
Makes people react
The righteous blaspheme
Their fears interact

Will there come a day
From Hades they feast
Six sixty six
The number of the beast

In the world of the light He may be the saviour yeah i agree, revelations isnt about the world ending. Its about revealing. The end of the world 'as we know it', like itll change, a new age of enlightenment or something. An Apocalypse (Greek: ?p???????? Apokálypsis; "lifting of the veil" or "revelation") is a disclosure of something hidden from the majority of mankind

These numbers are always associated with the devil and evil spirits. Very good explanation of the fears they instill in people, James! Love, Carolyn
