When The Sand Darkens The Sun
Chinchilla Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Did you see the firmament
The heaven is on fire
The devil laughs, knowing it's achieved
All the good is gone

In the garment of his mind
He takes them from the world
Now the evil will arise
And grasps all power on earth

Defenceless angels are falling
From the dark sky in flames
God's tears, they ooze away
Like holy blood in the desert sand

When the sand darkens the sun
The last hour strikes for them all
When the sand darkens the sun
The power of their gold will die

Eternal darkness seized the spirit
The hatred banished their thoughts
So blind fury rages all over
The yell raised the holy force

An eye for an eye, ashes to ashes
The evil sermon guards all over
So he sows hatred and force
And father death is set to work

Crosses stand towards heaven
And the sea is crimson red
The last flood rinses the human kind
And their golden palaces away

When the sand darkens the sun
The last hour strikes for them all
When the sand darkens the sun
The power of their gold will die
When the sand darkens the sun
Blood will flow and we will die




When the sand darkens the sun
The last hour strikes for them all

The third verse describes the relentless nature of the evil that has taken over, causing eternal darkness and hatred to consume everyone and everything.

The chorus itself, "When the sand darkens the sun, the last hour strikes for them all" seems to encapsulate the idea that everything comes to an end, and it is inevitable that there will be a final judgment for all. The lyrics are powerful and use vivid imagery to describe the end of the world in a very visual and visceral way.

The final flood washes away all human life


And their golden palaces away
And their lavish buildings made of gold disappear


Blood will flow and we will die
Blood will be spilled, and people will perish
