Apocalypse
Tormentor Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The foreboded doomsday
Appeared four
Mounted spectre
Apocalypse...
The four horsemen personate
Starvation and war
The four servant of evil
Apocalypse...
Oceans have
Overflowed everything
Clouds burst to the earth
Earthquake begun
Everywhere
Broke up the lava
Towns were destroyed
By the seas and lava
Four of them
Were standing quietly
Watching from the sky
What was happening down there
When the last human was killed
They have announced with
Their bloody swords
The deadly storm ended
Apocalypse...
The world looked like before
It was the day of the doom
They have started their way
Up to heaven and down to hell
Apocalypse...
The lyrics to Tormentor’s song “Apocalypse” are a vivid depiction of the end of the world as personified by the arrival of the four horsemen of the apocalypse. The song begins with a foreboding sense of dread as it describes the four horsemen mounting their steeds in anticipation of the arrival of doomsday. The lyrics go on to enumerate the four horsemen and their roles in bringing about the apocalypse: Pestilence, Death, Starvation, and War.
The descriptions of the natural disasters that follow are graphic and intense. The oceans overflow, clouds burst, and earthquakes and volcanic eruptions ravage the earth. The town’s destruction is portrayed with cinematic detail as the four horsemen observe from above. The lyrics suggest that they are not only witness to the devastation but also its architects.
The final lines of the song describe the horsemen announcing the end of the deadly storm with their bloody swords. The song concludes with the idea that the end of the world has led to a new beginning, with the horsemen setting off on their next journey to heaven and hell. Overall, the song is a grim and apocalyptic warning about the end of days.
