歌曲歌詞
Blessed is he who reads aloud the words of the prophecy
念這書上預言的
And blessed are those who hear
和那些聽見又遵守其中所記載的
And who keep what is written therein
都是有福的
For the time is near
因為日期近了
He is coming with the clouds他騰雲駕霧而來（他是指John，耶穌的僕人）
And every eye will see him
所有看到他的人
Everyone who pierced him
都被他像透明一樣地穿過
And all the tribes of the earth will wail on account of him
地上的萬族都要因他哀哭
Those of you who have not learned

What some call the deep things of Satan

I know your works
我知道你們的工作體系
I know your toil
我知道你們的辛苦
And your patient endurance
還有你們無人能及的忍耐力
And how you cannot hear evil men
也知道你們不能容忍惡人
But have tested those who call themselves
你也曾試驗那些自稱
Apostles

But are not
卻不是使徒的
And found them to be false
看出他們是假的來。
I know you are enduring patiently

And bearing out

For my namesake

And you have not grown weary

But I have this against you
然而有一件事我要責備你
That you have abandoned
就是你把起初的愛心
The love you had

And I saw a beast rising out of the sea
我又看見一個獸從海中上來
With ten horns and seven heads
有十角七頭
And a blasphemous name upon its head

And the beast that I saw was like a leopard

Its feet were like a bear's

And its mouth was like a lion's mouth

And to it the dragon gave his power

And the whole earth followed the beast with wonder
全地的人，都稀奇地跟從那隻怪獸
And they worshipped the beast saying
他們小聲的議論著
"Who is like the beast and who can fight against the beast?"
誰能像那怪物一樣，誰能和那怪物交戰
It opened its mouth to utter blasphemous

And to conquer them

And authority was given it over every tribe

And a people and tongue and nation
各民各方各國
And all who dwell on earth could worship it

And I will be his God and he shall be my son
我做了人們的上帝，人們就該做我的子民
But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the polluted
