The time is drawing nearer
The times could not be clearer
The mark of beast is coming
And many are succumbing

The mark, not merely physical
The mark, it is, yes, spiritual
It’s taking on the character
Of Satan, Christ’s competitor

It comes through compromises
And many sacrifices
Of truth and what is righteous
And this is now a crisis

The signs are all around us
It’s spreading like a virus
The symptoms are now obvious
For sin they are desirous

The beast, he is of Satan
To God has no relation
Has many on vacation
And under his persuasion

Repentance he requires not
And faith in Christ, in truth, is shot
Obeying God is not required
And charlatans are now for hire

Lip service only is the standard
Forget Christ’s teachings, be ye pampered
Throw out what’s godly out the window
And play your games and win the bingo

But if you listen to Satan’s lies
And on the truth you not now rely
You disobey our Lord God’s commands
Eternal life with God – you’ll be banned
