Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

In the name of god
In the name of god
In the name of god

Together we're standing tall
Together we will never fall
Together we're living free
And the truth is all for all to see
But since we've all been blinded
Blinded by evil
Now is the time to stand and fight
In the name of god
In the name of god
In the name of god

In the name of god
In the name of god

In the name of god
In the name of god

Overall Meaning

The song "In the Name of God" by Yngwie J. Malmsteen's Rising Force explores the idea that evil is present in the world, and that we must work together to combat it. The opening lines set the tone for the song, with the singer admitting that they were not aware of the evil around them until it was too late. Now, with "the bad and ugly" showing their faces more often, it is up to individuals to "think with precision" and make the right decisions. These decisions must be made "in the name of god," suggesting that the singer believes that God is the ultimate arbiter of good and evil.

The second half of the song focuses on the idea of standing together to fight evil. The singer asserts that we are "blinded by evil," but that it is not too late to stand and fight. The repetition of the phrase "in the name of god" throughout the song suggests that the singer believes that God is on their side, and that their fight is ultimately a righteous one. After all, if we all stand together, we can never fall. The final repetition of the phrase is a clarion call to action, urging everyone to come together and fight the forces of evil "in the name of god."

Line by Line Meaning

In the name of god
Acknowledging that our actions are guided by our religious beliefs

We didn't know for sure
Admitting our uncertainty about the presence of evil in our midst

That evil is right outside our door
Realizing that evil can be found in our immediate environment

And now all the bad and ugly
Referring to the unpleasant and immoral aspects of our world

Showing their faces more
Becoming more evident and prevalent

So now we have got to work it out
Recognizing the need to find a solution

And think with precision
Emphasizing the importance of careful and accurate thinking

Make sure we make the right decision
Stressing the need to choose the correct course of action

Together we're standing tall
Uniting as a group and showing strength

Together we will never fall
Ensuring that we will always persevere as a team

Together we're living free
Celebrating our shared liberty and independence

And the truth is all for all to see
Revealing that honesty is transparent and self-evident

But since we've all been blinded
Acknowledging that we have overlooked important details

Blinded by evil
Having our perspective tainted by immoral forces

Now is the time to stand and fight
Calling for us to take action against evil

In the name of god
Emphasizing that our efforts are motivated by our religious beliefs

In the name of god
Repeatedly emphasizing the religious aspect of our mission

In the name of god
Closing with a final reminder of our religious conviction

second section of the guitar solo is one of Yngwie's highlights. Genius!

vaccines 0 effectiveness & poison

yeah, this one is on a good album. There is always something in his solos I would change.. Specially at the end, you've got to have a antique romance ending solo finals, smoother adding more notes, fine ones. Art of a difficult job, 10/10 album.
