Can you say what you don't know?
In darkness of the odds
The wrecking voice getting nearer
Awaiting the first sixpounder
Well, let me show you battle
That's from the path of hate
What it takes to bring you down
Like a spark resist you
Go Go!
War!
I refuse to be brought down by you
Praise is far away from what you do
Not only are you cranking on my reign
I'm ready to blow you away... 666 (...pounder)
Hey! Wanna see the darker time
A time that never ends
It'll be too late for you
When you try to persuade me by
Pain!
Go!
Load the sixpounder!
Can you say what you don't know?
In darkness of the odds
What it takes to bring you down
Like a spark resist you
Go Go!
War!
War!
I refuse to be brought down by you
Praise is far away from what you do
Not only are you cranking on my reign
I'm ready to blow you away... SIX SIX SIX!!

Sixpounder- An excellent exercise in opressively heavy melodies. | Reviewer: Tyler Dombrowski | 10/1/09
This was one of the first Children Of Bodom songs I heard. I have always wanted to hear a song that's really heavy, but yet retains dark melodies and solos that you can't get out of your head. This song to me is Bodom expressing their inner rage and having Alexi channel feelings of injustice from his mind to his fretboard. The sweep picking sections of the solos are difficult, unless you're an expert at muting arpeggios. This song never fails to make me angry (in a good way). The lyrics to me seem to have an overwhelming sense of despair and helplessness, giving rise to hatred. The opening riff is very dark, and the heaviness sets the song up perfectly for the melodies found in the rest of the song. The verse riff is pretty quick, and the twin guitars make work (try to play this song by yourself and you know what I mean). The first solo is very... opressive, and it can be seen (at least to me) as a representation of the human psyche going into overdrive in times of intense anger, because the arpeggios take you from low to high and back again very quickly. It ends with a very high note, showing that the mind can't handle rage very well. The second solo seems to be in comparison an upbeat rest from the rest of the song, but the verse riff comes smashing down like the hammer of armageddon. That second chorus leads into the songs ending, which seems to be a representation of the helpless agony one can experience when they are treated unfairly. All in all, Sixpounder is one of the best metal songs out there, and a testament to the other-worldy talent all of the band posesses, showcasing Alexi Laiho's aptitude for arpeggios.
lot of people say this is why Children of Bodom is a Satanic band... but this is NOT the case.
This song is about war... WWI, to be specific. The lyrical references suggest that the song is about a type of military ordinance used by the Brits, known as the 57mm QF 6-pounder 7 Hotchkiss (or the newer model, the cwt Hotchkiss).
This is reinforced by the lyrics "The wrecking voice getting nearer, awaiting the first sixpounder", "I'm ready to blow you away", and "Load the sixpounder!" among others, along with constant references to 'War'
for all the people who think this lyric is satanic, yes it is, but not in a worship satan way, i mean, look at this sentence: "I'm ready to blow you away... SIX SIX SIX!!"
maybe its just me, but in this sentence he is saying he is ready to blow away the devil. satanic? yes. satanists? nope, they don't worship the devil. COB rocks, they don't write bullshit satanic songs. best black metal band ever.
Six Six Six! | Reviewer: Conn Mart | 9/28/08
One of the best, if not the best, Bodom songs. The lyrics are about the Ordnance QF 6 Pounder, a 57mm cannon used by the British in WWII. I think we can all agree on the badassness of the intro.main riff and the bridge riff right before the second solo. They are both so heavy. The chorus is amazing, real heavy, great lyrics, and the solos are incredible. Overall a pretty much perfect song.
666...POUNDER | Reviewer: Anonymous | 7/15/08
an amazing song. i also think he is talking about a tank...but that can also relate to the video. the kidnapper is obviously evil(satan) and he is a tank...so it relates to WWII and the video. all in all in their top 5 best songs...fuck that this is in the top 5 best songs in the world!!!!!
The song is defidentily my song! A heavy song. A Jamin guitar solo. A mixture of death metal and rock. The singer sounds like Slayer and Metalica preforming a song together! But the thing I dont get are the lyrics. The lyrics I only think (I am not positive) I think that the lyrics of Sixpounder are about war. So any way the song rocks! Even though I think the guitar is making noise over the singers voice. But forget that!!!!!!!!!!!! The songs beggining of the video is creepy, but forget that to!!!!!!!!!!!! The song is an awsome song! Here Ill give an example. The song is just heavy enough that it is toatly Death metal and pleasent enough to enjoy. The solo is great. And an awsome song! So load in the Sixpounder!!!
who cares if they are satanic or not? | Reviewer: micki | 3/9/08
If Alexi (or anyone else from COB) come out and says that they r a satanist (or whatever) it wouldn't change my views on COB at all. lol i remain a faithful fan! i don't even believe in satan anyways... COB FOREVER!!! (and btw... their new album blooddrunk is amazingg!!!)
CoB are a very good band, not satanic just because they are sceaming and yell 666. I scream self in my band, got some lyrics who can be satanic, but i arent satanic, so i know that CoB are not satanic, and the lyrics rock! Sorry if my English are bad
Hi
Children of Bodom is one of the best death mattel bands in the whole world. Their lyrics are good and their solos are awesome. Mattel and death; this is my life. Is it Children of Bodom? Yes, Yes, Yes I love them. My favorite song is Needled 24/7 my favorite solo: Clash of the Booze Brothers
