When the Saints Go Marchin' In
Dionysos Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh when the saints go marching in,
Oh when the saints go marching in,
Oh Lord, I won't be part of this number,
Oh when the saints go marching in.

Oh when the sun refuses to shine,
Oh when the sun refuses to shine,
Oh Lord, I won't be part of this number
When the sun refuses to shine

When Gabriel blows in his home
When Gabriel blows in his home
Tell the Lord don't let me be in the member
When Gabriel blows in his home (all right!)

Oh when the saints go marching in
Oh when the saints go marching in
Oh Lord I won't be part of this number
When the saints go marching in

Oh when the sun refuses to shine
And when the sun refuses to shine
Oh lord I won't be part of this number
Oh when the sun refuses to shine

And when the moon turns red to blood
And when the moon turns red to blood
Oh Lord I won't be part of your number
When the moon turns red to blood

Sometimes that world of trouble
Is the only one we need
But I'm waiting for that morning
When the new world is revealed

Oh when the saints go marching in
Oh when the saints go marching in
Oh Lord I won't be part of this number
Oh when the saints go marching in

Oh when the saints go marching in
Oh when the saints go marching in




Oh Lord I won't be part of this number
Oh when the saints go marching in

Overall Meaning

In "When the Saints Go Marchin' In," Dionysos sings about a belief in the afterlife and hopes to not be part of the negative consequences that come with being a part of the judgment day of the saints. The song is one of hope and faith in the second coming of Christ, Gabriel blowing his trumpet, and the end of the world as we know it. The lyrics reflect on the idea that in the face of a world of trouble, the only solution is to look forward to the new world that will be revealed. The song's title is taken from a Christian hymn of the same name, "When the Saints Go Marching In."


Dionysos emphasizes his refusal to take part in the condemnation by God on judgment day in the lyrics "Oh Lord, I won't be part of this number." He repeats this phrase twice in each verse to drive the point home. The song has a soulful and upbeat tempo that evokes joy, despite the heavy lyrics, which expresses the belief that the end of the world is a joyous occasion as it brings believers close to their creator.


Line by Line Meaning

Oh when the saints go marching in,
When the good and righteous enter into heaven,


Oh Lord, I won't be part of this number,
I will not be part of this righteous group and will not enter into heaven,


Oh when the sun refuses to shine,
When there is great darkness,


When Gabriel blows in his home
When the archangel Gabriel blows his trumpet to signal the end of the world,


Tell the Lord don't let me be in the member,
I do not want to be part of those facing judgment,


Oh when the moon turns red to blood,
When there is great chaos and destruction,


Sometimes that world of trouble,
Sometimes the world we live in is full of trouble and darkness,


Is the only one we need,
But we need that darkness to appreciate the coming light of the new world,


But I'm waiting for that morning,
I am waiting for the new world to come,


When the new world is revealed,
When the new world is uncovered and can be experienced by all,
