Beware the Beast
The mark of the beast is said to have sixes
He'll preach to the world that he brings with him, fixes
Evil is he, with a tongue that spits fire
Burning a path towards that which is higher
Charming, old fellow and he'll smile to our faces
His aim should be clear, to get into good graces
Children of god may become his believers
But then they will learn, he's like other deceivers
Hands will go up as men offer him praises
But all who appose will be scorched by his phrases
Quickly, they'll come, where he leads they will follow
But no more they'll cheer when his actions bring sorry
Nothing on earth will compare to his pride
His words, when delivered will cause a divide
Poisonous snake with pure hate to the core
Before he can win, we will show him the door
He'll bask in his joy for as long as he can
Then away to that place where his journey began
Sound the alarm with the use of all voices
For the sake of our lives, let us make the right choices
