Slipknot - The Heretic Anthem Lyrics
Eight, seven, six, six, six
Five, four, three, two, one, zero
Yeah!
Got a super dread bet with an angel drug head
Like a dead beat winner, I want to be a sinner
An idolized bang for the industry killer
A hideous man that you don't understand
Throw a suicide party and I'm guaranteed to fucking snap
It's evilsonic, it's pornoholic
Breakdowns, obscenities, it's all I wanna be
If you're 555, then I'm 666
If you're 555, I'm 666
What's it like to be a heretic?
If you're 555, I'm 666
What's it like to be a heretic?
Everybody's so infatuated
Everybody's so completely sure of what we are
Everybody defamates from miles away
But face to face, they haven't got a thing to say
I bleed for this and I bleed for you
Still you look in my face like I'm somebody new
TOY - nobody wants anything I've got
Which is fine because you're made of everything I'm NOT
If you're 555, then I'm 666
If you're 555, I'm 666
Well if you're 555, I'm 666
What's it like to be a heretic?
If you're 555, I'm 666
What's it like to be a heretic?
Yeah!
Heretic!
Yeah!
30 Seconds, 16, 8, 4, lemme tell you why
I haven't the slightest, I'm teaching your brightest
They're listening, clamoring
All the money in the world can't buy me
Go ahead lie to me, tell me again how you're tortured
I wanna know how you followed your orders so well
You're full of shit
You had a dream but this ain't it
If you're 555, I'm 666
If you're 555, I'm 666
If you're 555, I'm 666
If you're 555, I'm 666
If you're 555, then I'm 666
What's it like to be a heretic?
If you're 555, then I'm 666
What's it like to be a heretic?
If you're 555, I'm 666
What's it like to be a heretic?
If you're 555, then I'm 666
What's it like to be a heretic?
Heretic!
Yeah!

THE HERETIC ANTHEM LYRICS
[Intro]
(Eight-seven-six-six-six-five-four-three-two-one-zero)
Yeah
[Verse 1]
I'm a pop star threat, and I'm not dead yet
Got a super dread bet with an angel drug head
Like a dead beat winner, I wanna be a sinner
An idolized bang for the industry killer
A hideous man that you don't understand
Throw a suicide party, and I'm guaranteed to fucking snap
It's evilsonic, it's pornoholic
Breakdowns, obscenities, it's all I wanna be
[Chorus: Corey Taylor, Clown & Chris Fehn]
If you're five-five-five, then I'm six-six-six
If you're five-five-five, I'm six-six-six
But if you're five-five-five, I'm six-six-six
What's it like to be a heretic?
If you're five-five-five, I'm six-six-six
What's it like to be a heretic?
[Verse 2: Corey Taylor]
Everybody's so infatuated
Everybody's so completely sure of what we are
Everybody defamates from miles away
But face to face, they haven't got a thing to say
I bleed for this, and I bleed for you
Still, you look in my face like I'm somebody new
Toy, nobody wants anything I've got
Which is fine because you're made of everything I'm not
[Chorus: Corey Taylor, Clown & Chris Fehn]
If you're five-five-five, then I'm six-six-six
If you're five-five-five, I'm six-six-six
But if you're five-five-five, I'm six-six-six
What's it like to be a heretic?
If you're five-five-five, I'm six-six-six
What's it like to be a heretic?
[Post-Chorus: Corey Taylor]
Yeah
Heretic, yeah
[Verse 3: Corey Taylor]
Thirty seconds, sixteen, eight, four, let me tell you why
I haven't the slightest, I'm teaching your brightest
They're listening, clamoring
All the money in the world can't buy me
Go ahead, lie to me
Tell me again how you're tortured
I wanna know how you followed your orders so well
You're full of shit, you had a dream, but this ain't it
[Pre-Chorus: Corey Taylor]
If you're five-five-five, I'm six-six-six
If you're five-five-five, I'm six-six-six
If you're five-five-five, I'm six-six-six
If you're five-five-five, I'm six-six-six
No
[Chorus: Corey Taylor, Clown & Chris Fehn]
If you're five-five-five, then I'm six-six-six
What's it like to be a heretic?
If you're five-five-five, then I'm six-six-six
What's it like to be a heretic?
If you're five-five-five, I'm six-six-six
What's it like to be a heretic?
If you're five-five-five, then I'm six-six-six
What's it like to be a heretic?
[Outro: Corey Taylor]
Heretic
Yeah

me : slipknot 2020 concert at philippines cant afford the 555o and 666o tix!
Corey Taylor is truly one of the most talented vocalists ever.
*angry Deus Vult noises*
If you're fine fine fine I'm sick sick sick
lmao that voice "6 5 4 3 2 1" hahah
555 666
Never unheard hair is tic
I was just listening to Stone Sour in the grocery store (Bother came on the overhead) and I came back to this song to contemplate the fact that these are the same peope.
Slipknot: "IF YOU'RE 555 I'M 666"
Death Grips: "TRIPLE 6, 5, FORKED TONGUE"
I get shivers down my spine every time he whispers.
So they're the kind of band that if somebody is at a gas pump and they pump $5.55 they then pump and yell till they hit $6.66
if U=555;
them I=666.
Say they're riding along in a car and the guy driving is going 55.5 mph/km/h
How could they be going 66.6.mph/km/h?
Or if it's a new car and the guy just turned over 555 miles/kilometers
How could they say it was 666 miles/kilometers
By just flat out lying🤷
Even if they Ride along for another 110 miles
And just as they odometer is ready to turn over he yells I'm six six six
But the odometer breaks at 665.9
this song made me wanna take a math test without calculator
If you're 666 then I'm your huck ul berry
what's it like to be heretic
• *People = Shit*
• *Disasterpiece*
• *The Heretic Anthem*
The Holy Trinity of Rage
So Rob zombie is into anime. . .
When your litle sister deletes your world in Minecraft: 0:17
If ur 555
I'm 666
Nuff said
Maybe I should sing this for my school talent show
Is this the arbiter song?
This girl I knew that used to move her ears could help me rn because she understands me :)
I'm surprised this doesn't say: "age restrictions and restriction to religious people"
B, I'm catholic and I listen to slipknot lmao
Cierra Throop because the song has nothing to do with religion
Here(sic)
*whats it like to be a HAIRY DICK*
Delete this 😂
This is nice
2019 and this is still one of the greatest knot songs maybe the best!! Lyrically and musically it’s on point and Joey just kills is
Probably their best song ever made.
I’m feeling a lot of the new album though Nero forte and solo firth are pretty fuckin knotty!!
If you're 5'5" then I'm 6'6"
Best fucking Slipknot song, hands down
*Imagine this song was 6:66 seconds long*
I like this track, but my close-minded parents always think that this is some random, screaming, nonsensical, or demonic gibberish.
*If you FAP FAP FAP I do SEX SEX SEX*
I have christian parents so listening to metal for me is like trying to watch porn but then i got my metalhead aunt whose cool
45555554
Just like that
Satanists confirmed
Where is the satanism
At .75 it legit turns into psychosocial
doorkun8 doorkun8 thats insane 😂😂
Lmaooooo
listen at x1.25 speed
My peers caught me listening to this and they put me in therapy for some reason
Fuck fuck fuck SEX SEX SEX
F f f by s s s!
That mad Midwestern accent in the beginning
You you have to take a shower, but heretic anthem appears in your head. Me: I am sure the shower can wait
IF YOU'RE 555 THEN I'M 666🤘
I play this really loud when I’m with my dad
