Rapture
Dragon Lord Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Maybe too soon
I did not notice her value
Until I looked into the storm
Why can't you see
When scrolls are drawn
Who will you die for?
Across these blazing shores
For Satan blight the sky
I am ancient
Blasphemous
Nothing left
Pray for war
Embracing evil
A prophecy of war
Dethrone the lord
The great deceiver carries light
Rapture
Join us
With demon swords collide
Black reign for the ages
Surging forth with might
We begin to slowly formulize
Rage on san redemptions
Now and ever after
Onward final battle
[Lead: Smyth]
And now you'll see
Why I was plotting forever
And as you kneel
Make sure my story gets written
End times forseen
No righteous martyr
My will be done
Empire destroyed!
Death angels scorch and burn the sky
Throughout his rigid vortex
Satan fantasized
Annihilated mist
Of utter nothingness
Pray for war
Just below
I'll break the sacred seal
Rapture
The song "Rapture" by Dragon Lord seems to be about the fall of Babylon and the rise of evil forces. The lyrics describe the singer's realization of the value of Babylon after it has already fallen, perhaps suggesting that one only realizes the worth of something once it's gone. The chorus asks a poignant question - "Who will you die for?" - suggesting that one's beliefs and loyalties are crucial in the face of death and that one must choose their allegiance wisely.
The song then speaks of death angels, suggesting a sense of impending doom, and of Satan blighting the sky. The singer describes himself as ancient and blasphemous, embracing evil and prophecy of war. He urges listeners to join him and wield their demon swords, promising a black reign for the ages. The song seems to inspire a sense of rebellion against authority and hopelessness for the future.
Overall, the lyrics to "Rapture" seem to be expressing a dark and apocalyptic worldview, rooted in a sense of rebellion and a desire for vengeance against those who have wronged the singer.
