The Final Battle
Crimson Moonlight Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Holding the key to the abyss,
And in his hand the key to the abyss.
He seized the dragon that ancient serpent
And bound him for a thousand years.
He threw him into the abyss
And sealed it and locked it over him.
Any more until the years were ended.
After that he must be set free for a short time.
When the thousand years are over
satan will be released from his prison.
He will go out to decieve the nations
In the corners of the earth, Gog and Magog.
To gather them for battle
In number they are like the sand.
They marched across the breadth of the earth.
And surrounded the camp of God's people.
The city he loves.
But!
Fire came down from heaven and devoured them.
And the devil who decieved them
Was thrown into the lake of burning sulphur
Where the beast and the false prophet has been thrown.
And they will be tormented.
Day and night forever.
Forever and ever!
The Final Battle by Crimson Moonlight is a song that draws heavily from biblical references, particularly the Book of Revelation. The song describes an epic battle between good and evil, and how Satan will ultimately be defeated. The opening lines of the song refer to an angel holding the key to the abyss, which is the place where Satan will be thrown and sealed for a thousand years. The key signifies the power to bind Satan and his influence over the world.
The song depicts how Satan will be released from his prison after the thousand years are over, and he will once again deceive nations and gather them for battle. However, the song takes a dramatic turn as it describes how fire comes down from heaven and devours Satan and all his followers. In this way, Crimson Moonlight presents a vision of ultimate and final victory over evil, and how those who follow God will be protected.
Overall, the song speaks to the power of faith and the message that evil will eventually be defeated. It is a call to trust in God and stand firm in the face of temptation and trials.

I think it takes guts to Christian Black Metal in a scene that is dominated by Satan, Praise God Brothers, the war isn't over, Souls can be one
Jraddd
Its mostly theatrics I think, most the black metal I've heard is mainly just against the government, and the catholic church, which are both pretty close lol

It's technically the same thing as regular Black Metal. Black Metal refers to a style of music, not a lyrical theme. This is Holy Unblack at the same time as it is Black Metal.

He seized the dragon that ancient serpent
And bound him for a thousand years...
