[Intro] Oh hungry, violent ones. [Verse 1] You who wage war, you who suffer. You who claw from dens of carnage, now you mutter, now you judge. [Verse 2] Rambling on, you dangle now your arms, you claw now at your eyes, and speak of devils in the cage and fears from a thousand years to keep away the fire of the gods. [Pre-Chorus] A fire that consumes you so you may control it. [Chorus] This is the very vision of your fears! This is the very vision of your fears! [Breakdown - spoken] "And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name." [Verse 3] You fear the caged minds and yet you make them. You toy with their shells and then you hate them. [Bridge] Do you fear they will be as hungry as you? Do you fear they will be as violent as you? [Outro - quiet] Or do you simply fear you aren't good enough? [Final - spoken] "Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is six hundred threescore and six."
