Jack
Septimo sello Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cuando el cordero abrió el sello
Mas siete ángeles tocan trompetas
Oro y perfume para el eterno
La profecía se esta cumpliendo
Tiembla el demonio en el averno
Pues no creyeron y ya no hay tiempo
Juicio final!
Granizo, fuego y seres muertos
Tu sangre tiñe el mar y el cielo
Langostas buscan a los sin sello
La muerte nunca oirá sus muertos
La profecía se esta cumpliendo
Tiembla el demonio en el averno
Veo gente que esta muriendo
Pues no creyeron y ya no hay tiempo
Juicio final!
Desde las brumas de tus dudas
Hay una esperanza
Que si creyera en el te salvará
El cordero vino para salvarte de la oscuridad
Para que tengas paz y encuentre la real libertad
Desde las brumas de tus dudas
Hay una esperanza
Que si creyera en el te salvará!!
The song "Jack" by Septimo Sello touches upon themes of biblical prophecy and the end of the world. The first two lines of the song reference an important moment in the book of Revelation, where the Lamb (Jesus) opens the first of seven seals that signal the beginning of the end times. The silence that follows is symbolic of the gravity of the situation.
The next few lines mention the seven angels who blow trumpets, signaling various apocalyptic events such as natural disasters and plagues. The idea that the prophecy is coming to pass and that the devil is trembling in hell signifies that this is a momentous and terrifying event.
The chorus repeats the phrase "juicio final" (final judgment) which underscores the gravity of the situation. The second verse mentions specific events such as hail, fire, and waves of dead creatures. The metaphorical language of the song creates a strong and ominous atmosphere, ultimately leading to the idea that those who did not believe will suffer the consequences of their lack of faith.
The final verse of the song offers a glimmer of hope - that through faith in the Lamb, one can be saved from the darkness and find peace and freedom. The repetition of the phrase "desde las brumas de tus dudas hay una esperanza" (from the mists of your doubts there is hope) highlights the idea that even in the darkest of times, there is still a chance for redemption.
