Scared to Death
Blood Thirsty Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Possessed by many spirits, he dwells among the tombs
Breaking through the chains, the wicked nature fumes
Seeing Nazarene, he fell down at His feet
"Son of the Most High God, what do you want with me?"

"Spirit of impurity, depart from this man!"

Jesus asked the spirit, "What is your name?"
"My name is Legion, for we are many"
Viewing herd of swine, the pathetic spirit begs
"If you drive us out, send us to the pigs!"

"Go! Into the herd! Go!"

The spirits exit the man
Possess the swine on the hill
The whole herd rushed down the steep bank
Two thousand to their death, drowning in the lake

The man, set free
Break the chains





Demons burn with fear, they are scared to death
So give the glory to God, the One who gave you breath

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Blood Thirsty's song "Scared to Death" tell the story of a man possessed by multiple spirits. This man resides among the tombs and is bound by chains, symbolizing his captivity and torment. However, when he encounters Jesus Christ, he falls down before Him, recognizing His divine power and authority. The man acknowledges Jesus as the Son of the Most High God and is filled with a sense of fear and awe.


Jesus commands the impure spirit to depart from the man, showing His ability to cast out evil. Curious about the nature of the spirit, Jesus asks for its name. The spirit replies, "My name is Legion, for we are many." This suggests the man's possession is not just by a single entity but by numerous evil spirits.


As Jesus observes a herd of swine nearby, the spirit begs to be sent into them if it is cast out of the man. Jesus grants this request, and the spirits leave the man and enter the herd. In a dramatic turn of events, the entire herd rushes down a steep bank and drowns in a lake, signifying their destruction.


The liberated man is now free from the grip of the evil spirits. He is encouraged to break the chains that bound him, symbolizing his liberation from his past afflictions. The demons, consumed by fear, are "scared to death" as they witness the power of Jesus and His ability to triumph over evil.


The song ultimately emphasizes the need to give glory to God, who is the ultimate source of life and deliverance. It highlights the transformative power of encountering Jesus and the victory that can be achieved over fear and darkness through faith.
