The Killer
Eternal Ryte Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But don't hear his lies, they'll bring you down.
He comes to steal, to kill, destroy your soul.
So stand in God and hold your ground.
Cause he seeks all ways to do you harm, if your in sin.
He's a killer!
He's a killer!
He's like a wolf who stalks the night.
An evil snake with poison lies.
Oh foolish men open up your eyes and see.
Play with sin and you will die.
Cause he seeks those whom he may devour.
Run away.
He's a killer!
He's a killer!
[Guitar Solo]
Satan wants your soul in hell.
But Jesus died so you could live!
You know the score, the choice is your's tonight.
To die in sin or live with Christ.
‘Cause Jesus rose to give you life.
He can save you from the killer, from the killer.
Beware! Beware! Beware!
He's a killer!
The lyrics to Eternal Ryte's song "The Killer" warn listeners of the dangers of sin and the threats posed by the devil. The song is structured around two main metaphors - that of a roaring lion and a wolf. The chorus repeatedly declares that the devil is a killer, emphasizing the seriousness of the threat. The first verse admonishes listeners not to believe the devil's lies, which are intended to bring them down. The second verse is more graphic - it describes the devil as an "evil snake with poison lies" that seeks to devour those who play with sin.
The song's message is a common one in Christian music - that sin is deadly and that the devil is eager to lead people astray. However, the lyrics are also notable for their use of vivid, evocative metaphors. By describing the devil as a lion or a wolf, the lyrics create a sense of danger and immediacy that helps to emphasize the seriousness of the threat. In addition, the song's guitar solo provides a dramatic moment that underscores the powerful emotions of the lyrics.
