Beginning of the End
Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Welcome to my nightmare
This is my world
Are you ready to hear it?
The World According to James Sevenish
This is the beginning of the end
Now you can't escape from here
The world was on fire when the son arrived
The flames of hell fell on his world
I saw people get lost in their own madness
I saw hope fade on my feet
I saw her fall into her own addiction
Fading into my arms
The son comes towards the beginning of the end
Defying his fate against the red sky
This is the beginning of the end
The flames will fall on your world
Walking the destroyed streets of California
Heading to route sixty-nine to find you again
The son arrives towards the beginning of the end
Defying his fate against the red sky
I feel the devil following me
On the dark path of my sins
The son feels the darkness in his heart
Feeling the fire fall on your feet
This is the beginning of the end
The devil will fall in my world




In the darkest hour he will reign
In his own subreal world

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of the song "Beginning Of The End" by Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. describe a post-apocalyptic world in which the singer, James Sevenish, is trapped. He introduces his audience to his own hellish nightmare, warning them that there is no escape. The song speaks of the arrival of a savior, the son, who defies his fate and battles against the red sky, suggesting a battle between good and evil. The lyrics paint a picture of a world that has gone up in flames, with people losing their minds and hope. James also describes holding a woman as she fades into addiction. As the son walks the destroyed streets of California, he heads towards route sixty-nine to save someone James cares about, possibly the woman James is holding.


The lyrics penned by Jed Whedon provide a strong storytelling quality that the show is known for. The song is set in the season one finale of the show, as Coulson and his team race to stop Hydra from unleashing a weapon on the world. The destruction and Armageddon-like themes provide an appropriate backdrop to the high stakes being faced by the show's characters. The song's melody is haunting, with droning synthesizers and slow percussion that adds to the ominous, melancholic atmosphere of the song.

@RAGNAR LOTHBRÖK i don't really wanna spoil too much but here's what i can say...

A magical book named "Darkhold" will appear and become essential for the safety of the world in Agents of Shield Season 4. The book ended up in the possession of the Ghost Rider.

Fast forward to 2021 (or somewhere in 2023, post endgame), the Darkhold appeared out of nowhere in WandaVision. They didn't explain how it was taken from Ghost Rider's possession.

And the most important thing... they CHANGED the appearance of the book. The Darkhold in Agents of Shield is kind of bigger and less decorative.

The Darkhold in WandaVision is smaller in size, but it has more decorations on its cover.


Just finish watching Agents of Shield Season 4 and WandaVision. You'll see what I'm saying.
