The Beasts and the Everlasting Gospel
Revelation · Power Electronics
[Intro]
The dragon waits upon the sand.
The sea gives up a beast.
[Verse 1]
Seven heads, ten horns, a mouth of blasphemy;
the dragon lends his throne and power.
One wounded head appears healed,
and wondering earth follows the beast.
For forty-two months he speaks against heaven
and makes war with the saints.
[Interlude]
[Verse 2]
Another beast rises from the earth,
two lamb-like horns, a dragon's voice.
Fire falls at his deceiving sign;
an image breathes and demands worship.
A mark controls buying and selling,
the number of a man: six hundred sixty-six.
[Chorus]
But on mount Sion stands the Lamb,
one hundred forty-four thousand with his Father's name.
They learn a new song before the throne,
firstfruits who follow wherever he goes.
[Verse 3]
An angel bears the everlasting gospel:
Fear God; the hour of judgment is come.
Another cries, Babylon is fallen.
A third warns all who take the mark.
Here is the patience of the saints;
blessed are the dead who die in the Lord.
[Breakdown]
The sickle sweeps the ripe earth.
The vine is cast into the winepress;
judgment runs beyond the city.
[Outro]
Beast, image, number,passing dominion.
The Lamb remains on Sion.
