The Mark

Let him who has understanding calculate the number
Of the beast, for the number is that of a man
And his number is six hundred and sixty-six
Rev 13:18 (NASU)

And I saw another beast
Rise from the earth
To exercise authority
On the dwellers of the earth
He performs the miracles
In the presents of the beast
And those who do not worship him
Soon they'll be deceased

When the church is gone
And the beast rides high
They'll shake their fists
And curse at the sky

A hot wind races toward them
It's coming from the east
As they choose to die or take
The mark of the beast

He causes all, the great
The small, the rich, and the poor
To take the mark upon their hand
Or buy and sell no more

Those who take the beastly brand
They'll drink the wine of wrath
Full strength in a cup of anger
Fiery flames, a fiery path

When the church is gone
And the beast rides high
They'll shake their fists
And curse at the sky

A hot wind races toward them
It's coming from the east
As they choose to die or take
The mark of the beast
