The Omen
Mystic Circle Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

"And I stood upon the sand of the sea
And saw a beast rise up out of the sea
Having seven heads and ten horns
And upon his heads the name of blasphemy"

"And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against god
To blaspheme his name and his tabernacle and them that dwell in heaven"




Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Mystic Circle's "The Omen" are based on a passage from the Book of Revelation in the Bible, which describes an apocalyptic vision of the end of the world. In the passage, the singer speaks of standing upon the sand of the sea and seeing a monstrous beast rise up out of the water, with seven heads and ten horns. The heads of the beast are adorned with names of blasphemy, indicating a defiance against God.


The second verse speaks of the beast opening its mouth in blasphemy against God, speaking against His name, His tabernacle, and those who dwell in heaven. This speaks to a rejection of God's authority and an embrace of evil and chaos. The imagery of the beast rising out of the sea is often interpreted symbolically as representing the forces of darkness and chaos taking over the world, while the names of blasphemy on its heads suggest a perversion of truth and morality.


Overall, "The Omen" is a dark and ominous song that draws on biblical imagery to create a sense of apocalyptic terror and despair.

@Pr0fess0rSasquatch "No one cares about your opinion...."
From the guy replying to the opinion no one cares about.

"actively trying to ruin others’ enjoyment of a thing because it doesn’t conform to your interests is a dick move."
No, I'd have to go with projecting your own conclusions onto someone else's words without having any idea what you're talking about as being a dick move. So, just to clarify, that's you, the dick.

" Every one of your comments on these sessions are angry and negative. "
This is factually incorrect. Please do some research next time you try to write something.


So basically, you contradict yourself, don't know what you're talking about and are factually inaccurate. I would suggest moving along.

Jerry...FOUR natural 20's in a row? Been saving those up?


And what of Grave of Men? Summoned and then......? I sense an inconvenient plot hole there.


What. A. Great. Episode. Evelyn/K'Thriss are like the world's best buddy cop movie that has yet to happen.

The probability of rolling three consecutive natural twenties is 1/8000. The gambler's fallacy that Ryan referred to was that the the more good rolls you make in a row, the lower the odds of the next roll become. In reality, the next roll that happens has it's own probability of 1/20, regardless of any previous rolls.

Jerry’s head is so shiny

Omar Mahmood

I want Omin with small purple flames on his head to become canon

John-Eric Clements

You could say it's already 😎 head cannon!

Old Soul

Note the purple glow on Jerry's shiny head, I think he's got an enchantment

“Maximum Red Larch” 😂😂😂

“What you doin?”
“Dude, I’m at Maximum Red Larch right now.

55:11; I know Evelyn is a paladin of the Dawn God, but naming her horse “Morning Glory”? That’s a euphemism where I’m from.

1:11:11; roll initiative.

Buried Axblade

it'd be hoot to have The Perkins and Oman have a showdown.

Majestyc

I heard Omin killed Rosie.
