    Bad Luck

    by: King's X

    here's a little story, it is frightening
    or just a fantasy
    just a little boy, he is different
    different than you on me
    the serpent is rising
    growing stronger every day
    you will see him in the future
    you may have seen him today
    666 seven years bad luck
    you won't buy or sell without his mark
    there is more to the story
    it can be read
    in a book called revelation
