All 7 and we'll watch them fall.

In the song 7, what was prince referring to as 7? All 7 what? This is probably a pretty stupid question to some of you, but I want to know.

7 continents? The number 7 is also in The Bible quite a bit.

Seven is easy to understand, just read the apocalipse book, the last one from the bible, i don't know if is called revelation in USA. But i think that 7 are the seven evil kings mentioned on the apocalipse. almost all verses of this song bible inspired.

it is basically a musical version of chapters in the revelation of john from the bible. it deals with the 7 evils that are unleashed on the world. some of the lyrics are taken directly from the verses in the bible. give it a read to understand. even if you don't believe in what the bible says, it is a great story!

Is it about revelation or is it about the 7 deadly sins?

The lyric:

And before us animosity will stand and decree
That we speak not of love only blasphemy
And in the distance, 6 others will curse me


sounds like "animosity" is one of the 7. Also, in the video, are the Prince's that die representative of the 7 deadly sins? Here's an interesting link I found on the 7 deadly sins.

On the other hand, the lyric:

And we will see a plague and a river of blood


is clearly from revelation. Perhaps the answer is the two are interrelated as clearly at the end of revelation, the 7 deadly sins will be no more.

It all has to do with the Book of Revelation. There's a lot of things that happen in 7's in that book

Thank you all for your insight. One of my friends and I were having a debate about this. Though I haven't read revelations yet today, I'll try to get to it tomorrow. Actually, I guess it is tomorrow already, so what I actually mean is I'll try to get to it this afternoon when I get up. Once again, Thank You all. I knew you'd help.
