Primal Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The time has come, the end is near
A firestorm
The curse is done, my search is over
The Altar of souls

Don't wanna be the one to live in fear
Seven angels getting near
Don't wanna be the one get out of here
Red moonlight's calling!

The final day the sky will fall down
And we might all drown
If seven seals will break
The final day will end in sorrow
There's no tomorrow
If seven seals will break

Four beasts of death, holy and true
The noise of thunder
The stars of heaven fell to earth
Another wonder

Don't wanna be the one to live in fear
Seven angels getting near
Don't wanna be the one get out of here
Red moonlight's calling!

The final day the sky will fall down
And we might all drown
If seven seals will break
The final day will end in sorrow




There's no tomorrow
If seven seals will break

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Primal Fear's Seven Seals is a portrayal of the end of the world, which has been predicted by religion and mythos for ages. The singer tells of the fires of the apocalypse and how his search is finally over. The Altar of souls signifies the threshold between the living and the dead. The singer is ready to face the end of the world, but he doesn't want to be alone in his fears as the seven angels get closer. The red moon in the distance is a symbol of death, and it's calling to the singer.


The chorus emphasizes the seven seals that must be broken for the end to come finally. The four beasts of death signify the four horsemen of the apocalypse, bringing pestilence, war, famine, and death to humanity. The noise of thunder signals the ultimate power of nature which is unpredictable, and the stars of heaven falling to earth signify the ultimate shift in the cosmic order, with nothing left untouched.


This song is an excellent example of apocalyptic story-telling that is a recurrent theme in heavy metal music. It is ferocious and dramatic, capturing the majesty and terror of the end of the world. Each line reveals a new element of the destruction that is to come, keeping the listener fully-engaged.
