Revelations
Grave Desecrator Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Death is their certain end
Last Christian breath
Facing the final slay
Unblessed vomited word
Disseminated plague
On the ground of the damned
The revealer holy book
Descending from lies
In the abyss of truth
Lambs are gonna cry
The cross that never saved
The virgin that proved the sin
The father who wasnt present
The lyrics to Grave Desecrator's song Revelations are full of intense religious imagery and references. The first verse speaks of falling tears of blood and a certain death for those who follow Christianity. The second verse talks about an unblessed word that spreads like a plague among the damned, leading to a rising hate. The chorus references the holy book that reveals lies and causes the lambs to cry as the truth is exposed. The final verse speaks of the ineffectiveness of the cross, the sin of the virgin, and the absence of the father.
Overall, the song seems to be a condemnation of Christianity and its beliefs. The imagery of tears of blood and death underscore the harshness of the criticism, while the religious references add to the song's weight and power. Ultimately, the song seems to be a call to reject the dogma of Christianity and embrace a different path.

Coming down from a place of deceitfulness
In the abyss of truth
In the depths of a reality that cannot be denied
