In 1981 I started reading books by Dr. Mary Stewart Relfe about end-time prophecies. I updated the original lyrics as events unfolded.

The Mark

Words and Music by

There's a plot goin' 'round in Europe, and in North America, too.
One that could cost your very soul if it goes through.
In the name of achieving the dream of world peace
They're bringin' in the mark of the beast.
They're bringin' in the mark of the beast.

You've read in Revelation, and now it's all comin' true.
This awful chip they're tryin' now to put in me and you.
But my friend, just keep your eye on the sky in the East
And don't take the mark of the beast.
And don't take the mark of the beast.

(Bridge)

Governments will deceive you, they're gonna try to tell you
You'll have to go along for the ride.
But don't you believe it, my friend, if you resist
The Lord will be right there by your si- - - -ide.

In the Good Book it says you will no longer buy or sell
But if you take the mark you're gonna send your soul to Hell!
I'd rather die a thousand deaths, and live with God in peace
I'm not gonna take the mark of the beast.
I'm not gonna take the mark of the beast.

(Tag)
I'm not gonna take the mark of the beast.
Brother, don't you take the mark of the beast.
