Wrath
Indwelling Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And the moon turns to blood
Paralyzed with terror
All will hide from the face of the Lamb
With great quakes and plagues of locust
The earth will be scorched
Writhing in agony,
Sores will break out on those who curse his name
The opening lines of the song "Wrath" by Indwelling describe a scene of impending doom where the sun turns black and the moon appears like blood. The imagery here is borrowed from the Book of Revelation in the Bible where such an event precedes the coming of the end times. The lyrics further describe a state of terror where people will hide from the face of the Lamb, referring to Jesus Christ. The tone of the lyrics is suggestive of the popular Christian belief that the world will come to a catastrophic end where humanity will be judged by the divine supreme being.
The second verse of the song discusses the aftermath of the end times, where the Earth will suffer from great quakes and plagues of locusts. The phrase "writhing in agony" further emphasizes the catastrophic nature of the event. It is suggested that those who cursed the name of the Lamb will suffer sores that will break out on their bodies. Overall, the song strongly suggests that humanity should fear the wrath of the divine, which will be poured out in full force during the end times.

Solid stuff. I only found this after an exhaustive Metal Archives search, actively looking for Christian Death Metal bands that don't suck. I was pleasantly surprised by this one.
And even MORE surprised that it was released on Facedown Records, a notorious Metalcore label with a lineup full of poseur bands.
