Blood and Fire
With Blood Comes Cleansing Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The sun will blacken and the moon become as blood
The stars will fall from space
People will flee to the mountains
To hide their bodies from His face

The sun will blacken and the moon become as blood
The stars will fall from space
The day of His wrath will come on wicked men
The day of His wrath will come, who shall stand?
The day of His wrath will come on wicked men
The day of His wrath will come, who shall stand?

Blood and fire shall burn the earth
Blood and fire shall burn the earth

Woe to those who inhabit the earth
In His wrath they won't stand
Woe to those who inhabit the earth
In His wrath they won't stand

The day of His wrath will come on wicked men
The day of His wrath will come, who shall stand?
The day of His wrath will come on wicked men
The day of His wrath will come, who shall stand?

Soon the mountain will be burning with fire
Soon the water will turn bitter
Soon the mountain will be burning with fire
Soon the water will turn bitter

The day of His wrath will come on wicked men
The day of His wrath will come, who shall stand?
The day of His wrath will come on wicked men
The day of His wrath will come, who shall stand?





Blood and fire shall burn the earth
Blood and fire shall burn the earth

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Blood & Fire" by With Blood Comes Cleansing are reflective of the biblical passage in Revelation 6:12-17 that describes the end of the world. The sun will darken, the moon will turn red as blood, and the stars will fall from heaven. People will try to hide from the judgment of God by fleeing to the mountains, but they will not be able to escape his wrath. The earth will be consumed by blood and fire, and those who inhabit it will be doomed.


The song is a warning to those who have turned away from God and have chosen to live lives of sin. They will not be able to stand before the judgment seat of God, and they will be consumed by the fires of his wrath. The call to repentance is clear in the repeated refrain of the song: "The day of His wrath will come on wicked men, the day of His wrath will come, who shall stand?"


The lyrics are written in a straightforward and unapologetic style that leaves no room for ambiguity or interpretation. The message is clear: repent or be consumed. The use of fire and blood as symbolic representations of judgment and wrath is powerful and effective, creating a vivid image of the coming apocalypse.
