well this is a christan thing

you see along time ago there was a empior called nero and he liked to kill cristans and the christans could not speek of him like that so in roman lettering nero is 666 it is even in the book of revelations nero or 666 would invinte people to watch it was like a sporting event they thought so they would cheer it on as the christan would die.so they said to stay away from the 6 headded beast reffering to the 6 hills nero lived by. this is the work of satan that is what the song is reffering to if you dont belive me read this again listen to the song. because when i first heard this story i thought it was a bunch of bull now i know the part...

Torches blazed and sacred chants were praised And as they start to cry, their hands held to the sky And in the night, the fires burning bright The ritual has begun, Satan's work is done

is the "spoting event" and the ppl cheering them on
