Seven
Strict Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's seven lives i have
Despite my deepest fall
I haven't spent them all
I never do look back
I never turn my head
I never raze my past
Come! no night too dark - no road too long
Run! no rain too hard - no wind too strong
Pray! no blood too red - no cut too deep
Stay! no pain too bad - no track too steep
All I want is to fulfill
Praise my mission, bless my will
If you kill me, break my neck
Seven times I'll resurrect!
Come! no night too dark - no road too long
Run! no rain too hard - no wind too strong
Pray! no blood too red - no cut too deep
Stay! no pain too bad - no track too steep
Faith! I'm bound to live my destiny
Hail! my longing for eternity
Forever seek my dream
Days and nights and endless stream
Come with me
My march goes on
Today I'm here
Tomorrow gone
Come! no night too dark - no road too long
Run! no rain too hard - no wind too strong
Pray! no blood too red - no cut too deep
Stay! no pain too bad - no track too steep
Faith! I'm bound to live my destiny
Hail! my longing for eternity
In "Seven," Strict speaks of his defiance in the face of death, expressing his belief that he lives a cycle of seven lives that he has not yet fully utilized, even after standing at the brink of perdition. The courage he draws from this belief enables him to resolutely advance forward without looking back and without fear of the pain, obstacles, and risks he might face. He emphasizes his determination to pursue his calling and bless his will, thereby insuring that nothing can kill that spirit within him. Even if he is killed, he declares that he will resurrect seven times, deterring his enemies with the unbreakable resilience emanating from his faith.
The singer wants to encourage his listeners to follow and share his vision, which is to keep dreaming and striving for greatness, leaving nothing behind since everything he does today will echo through echoes of time. He invites his audience to join him on this never-ending journey, which will offer them the same spiritual strength and transcending power that will guide them through their own journeys. Therefore, the main message of the song is to never give up or give in, but rather believe in your destiny and your own power to make it happen.

Holy is one of my favorite albums ever. So so great and inspiring still, even 16 years later.
@thisistactical
This is one of my all time favourite songs.
@ladyobsidianblack
This made me think of the Outsider from Dishonored, with the way Dennis hair and dressing was.
Still one of my favorite songs and videos, and now I want to play the Dishonored series again :)
