[Verse 1]

Six, six, six on the head and the wrist

The bloodied, battered crucifix

Two coins to cross the river Styx

On bended knees and Satan's fist

[Pre-Chorus 1]

Lucidity, tranquility

My lust is forged of centuries

My wars evolve, my slaves defy

And beg for life until they die

In fire, in hell, in death you're mine

The hourglass, the clock unwinds

The time is short to do your best

And every word takes one more breath

[Verse 2]

Six, six, six on the head and the hand

Flesh and blood and born of man

[Pre-Chorus 2]

A graven idol upon its cross

Fall to your knees and cry for loss

Endowed with pain, this mastery

Etched in dust and fantasy

An angel born from heaven's hell

A beast that pounds the bloody nail

Into the void where chaos reigns

Satanic evil, all insane

[Chorus]

The blade that splits my tongue

The serpent's sacred sun

The fire that burns so cold

The words I speak are old

[Bridge]

All alone now, my heart, it breaks

Dead inside, as I pass through the gates

[Guitar solo 1: Creamer]

[Guitar solo 2: Gonzalez]

[Verse 3]

Six, six, six on the head and the wrist

The bloodied, battered crucifix

Two coins to cross the river Styx

On bended knees and Satan's fist

[Pre-Chorus 1]

Lucidity tranquility

My lust is forged of centuries

My wars evolve, my slaves defy

And beg for life until they die

In fire, in hell, in death you're mine

The hourglass, the clock unwinds

The time is short to do your best

And every word takes one more breath

[Chorus]

The blade that splits my tongue

The serpent's sacred sun

The fire that burns so cold

The words I speak are old
