Judgement Day
Stealth Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can feel the floor shaking, and the glass begin to break
The air is getting thinner with every breath that I take
The calm before the storm, you could hear the drop of a pin
Never been claustrophobic, but now the walls are closing in

I've crossed every line, broken every boundary
And now it's retribution time 'cause the church that I went to
It ain't that holy

So, strike me down, take me away
Debts are due, it's time to pay
Face what I deserve, here comes judgement day
I won't run, the guilt is mine
Still I'm denying all my crimes
Face what I deserve, here comes judgement day

Of all the love I have taken
All the hearts I've turned to hate
Hearts are easily broken when you've been made in the shade
Crossed every line, broken every boundary
And now it's retribution time 'cause the church that I went to
It ain't that holy

Strike me down, take me away
Debts are due, it's time to pay
Face what I deserve, here comes judgement day
I won't run, the guilt is mine
Still I'm denying all my crimes
Face what I deserve, here comes judgement day

Standing at the gate
Ready to meet my fate
Burns my soul it's not too late
So bring on judgement day

Strike me down, take me away
Debts are due, it's time to pay
Face what I deserve, here comes judgement day
I won't run, the guilt is mine




'Til I'm denying all my crimes
Face what I deserve, here comes judgement day

Overall Meaning

The song "Judgement Day" by Stealth is a powerful piece that explores the theme of accountability and the consequences of our actions. The first verse sets the scene of impending doom, with the floor shaking and the glass breaking, accompanied by the singer experiencing a feeling of suffocation as the walls close in. The calm before the storm is also emphasized ironically as the singer reflects on his past recklessness, crossing every line and breaking every boundary, in a time when he thought he was impervious to the consequences of his actions. The choice of words is rich with imagery, with lines such as "Hearts are easily broken when you've been made in the shade."


The chorus reinforces the theme, calling the singer to face what he deserves on judgment day. The lyrics acknowledge that he won't run from the guilt that is rightfully his, while still denying his actions. In the last verse, the singer confesses that he stands ready to meet his fate, acknowledging the burning guilt that he has carried with him, as well as the hope that it is not too late for him to be saved. The song ends with a fitting repetition of the chorus giving the sense that the singer is fully prepared to face the inevitable consequences that will come.

I can feel the floor shaking, and the glass begin to break
The air is getting thinner with every breath that I take
The calm before the storm, you can hear the drop of a pin
Never been claustrophobic, but now the walls are closing in

I've crossed every line, broken every boundary
And now it's retribution time 'cause the change that I'm into
It ain't that holy!

So, strike me down, take me away
Tax are due, it's time to pay
Face what I deserve, here comes JUDGEMENT DAY!
I won't run, the guilt is mine
Still I'm denying all my crimes
Face what I deserve, here comes JUDGEMENT DAY!

Of all the love I have taken
All the hearts I've turned to hate
Hearts are easily broken when you're being made in the shade
Crossed every line, broken every boundary
And now it's retribution time 'cause the change that I'm into
It ain't that holy!

So, strike me down, take me away
Tax are due, it's time to pay
Face what I deserve, here comes JUDGEMENT DAY!
I won't run, the guilt is mine
Still I'm denying all my crimes
Face what I deserve, here comes JUDGEMENT DAY!

Standing at the gate
Ready to meet my faith
Burns my soul it's not too late
So bring on JUDGEMENT DAY!

So, strike me down, take me away
Tax are due, it's time to pay
Face what I deserve, here comes JUDGEMENT DAY!
I won't run, the guilt is mine
Still I'm denying all my crimes
Face what I deserve, here comes JUDGEMENT DAY
