The lyrics to Sabbath Assembly's song "We Come From the One" are full of biblical imagery and metaphors. The first verse, spoken by the Sacrifist, invokes both Christ and Satan as forces that can bring about love and unity. In the Declaration section, the Sacrifist and Evangelist talk about the Final Reckoning, the end of all conflicts, and the beginning of a new era of love and unity. The End is now and the New Beginning is to come, they say.
The chorus of the song, "We Come From the Light And to the Light We Must Return We Come From the One And to One We Must Return Guided By the gods," speaks to the idea that all humans are part of a greater whole, and that we should strive to return to that oneness, guided by the divine forces of the gods.
Overall, the lyrics seem to be about a spiritual journey towards unity and transcendence, with Christ and Satan both playing a role in bringing about that unity. The song encourages us to let go of conflict and embrace love as we move towards a new beginning.
