Mark of the Beast (feat. Klender & Brandon Paul Johnson)

Revelation 13... Hard to believe to my surprise, rising out of the ocean
I was mesmerized
I saw a seven headed beast, with 10 crowned horns
Written on each head, names that blasphemed God and scorned

Daniel 7... The beast looked like a leopard, bear's feet and lion's mouth
The dragon gave him power, while the world fell tumbling south
They marveled at this miracle, they bowed down to the beast
They worshiped at his table, knives greedy for their feast

One beast was like a lion with warlike eagle wings
I watched its wings get plucked off, on 2 hind feet standing like a king

Mark of the beast, mark of the beast
He'll steal your soul, don't take the mark of the beast
Mark of the beast, promise of peace
Don't take the, mark of the beast, Devil's evil tricks, number 666

Great authority was given to the beast, terrifying, dreadful and so wrong
It devoured and crushed its victims with its iron teeth so strong

One of his heads was wounded, beyond recovery
Somehow the fatal wound was healed, gave great authority
For 42 months, he blasphemed our holy God
Waged war against God's people, who could fight against these odds

Distract them with: frustration, temptation, litigation
Sexploitation, reincarnation, starvation, tribulation

Mark of the beast, mark of the beast
He'll steal your soul, don't take the mark of the beast
Mark of the beast, promise of peace
Don't take the, mark of the beast, Devil's evil tricks, number 666

Then I saw a second beast rise up out of the earth
False prophet full of lies
He performs astounding miracles, calls down fire from the sky
As he deceives the worldly wise

He ordered all the people to build a statue high
Of the first beast who was wounded but then came back to life
He was then permitted, to make that statue come alive
That evil stone commanded, "worship me or die!"

He ruled over every tribe and station, every language and nation
Here's your chance to have endurance for the duration
Faith over damnation, domination, stand on God's foundation

Mark of the beast, mark of the beast
He'll steal your soul, don't take the mark of the beast
Mark of the beast, you'll get no peace
Don't take the, mark of the beast, Devil's evil tricks, number 666

Then the beast required everyone, "take a mark on your right hand!"
Or they'll "tattoo it on your forehead", at his strict command
No one could buy or sell, without his mark of shame
That spells out the beast of evil, or the number of his name

The Antichrist, the lawless one, will make a treaty with the people for 7 years
But after half this time, he'll position himself in the great Temple of God
Claiming he himself IS God... and put an end to all sacrifices
He'll set up a sacrilegious object to cause desecration, until his sulphured demise
Mark of the beast, mark of the beast
