That's what the video for the song would lead you to believe. I've only seen a segment of the video during the Larry King interview, but I'd love to see it. There's a lot of different theories on this matter. Only Prince knows the true answer. But I say: That the 7 = the seven deadly sins (Envy, Pride, Gluttony, Lust, Wrath, Greed/Avarice, Sloth) had 2 run away... pride was 2 strong. It started raining, baby, the birds were gone | |

In the CD booklet it refers to the book of Revelation in the bible. It's about the fall of the 7 nations. It's a very biblical song.
The number 7 is very prominant in that book: http://freestockphotos.co...Seals.html http://www.aloha.net/~mik...umpets.htm [Edited 10/30/07 20:19pm] [Edited 10/30/07 20:24pm] Making love and music are the only things worth fighting for. |

The song 7 is based around the last book of the bible, REVELATION. In it, John is shown many scenes of the future when the world will end. We are hearing the song through John's eyes.
+++++ And I saw an angel come down unto me In her hand she holds the very key Words of compassion, words of peace +++++ Revelation 20:1 thru 3 says... And I saw an angel coming down out of heaven, having the key to the Abyss and holding in his hand a great chain. He seized the dragon who is satan, and bound him for a thousand years. He threw him into the Abyss and locked it over him, to keep him from deceiving the nations anymore until the thousand years were ended. After that he must be set free. +++++ And in the distance an armys marching feet (1,2,3,4 - 1,2,3,4) But behold, we will watch them fall +++++ John also saw visions of satan building an army to destroy all who hold God in their heart. Revelation 20:7 thru 8 says... When the thousand years are over, satan will be released from his prison and will go out to deceive the nations of the earth to gather them for battle. Then in Revelation 20:9 and 10 says... They marched across the earth and surrounded the camp of Gods people, the city he loves. But fire came down from heaven and devoured them. And the devil who deceived them, was thrown into the lake of burning sulfer. +++++ And we lay down on the sand of the sea And before us animosity will stand and decree That we speak not of love only blasphemy +++++ This could be right now. Evil is all around. +++++ And in the distance, 6 others will curse me But thats alright, (thats alright) 4 I will watch them fall(1,2,3,4,5,6,7) +++++ Revelation 13:15 says... ...so that it could speak, and cause all who refused to worship the image to be killed. He just made the words a little less deadly if you will. +++++ And we will see a plague and a river of blood And every evil soul will surely die in spite of Their 7 tears, +++++ Revelation 15 and 16 talks of 7 angels with 7 plagues that will kill all the satan worshipers. Revelation 16:4 says The 3rd angel poured out his bowl (plague) on the rivers and they became blood. +++++ but do not fear 4 in the distance, 12 souls from now U and me will still be here - we will still be here +++++ I cant find a direct verse for this, but IMO, After 1000 years the devil is released from his prison and attempts to take over the world. He is defeated and the people with God in their hearts are left to take over the new earth. (See next verse) so if you take 12 generations of people at 83 years per generation, that comes VERY close to 1000 years (996) so Prince just refers to each generation as souls. (Cause generation wouldnt have fit into the song lol) So we (people with faith in God,) will still be here after satan and his followers are cast to hell. +++++ There will be a new city with streets of gold The young so educated they never grow old And a, there will be no death 4 with every breath The voice of many colors sings a song Thats so bold Sing it while we watch them fall +++++ Revelation 21:1 says Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth for the first heaven and earth had passed away. 21:4 says God will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death, or mourning or crying or pain. IMO the voice of many colors is God. This is all my take on it. I could be wrong. Doug [Edited 10/30/07 20:24pm] | |

Gave an explanation for every line in the song! I thought my anwser was gonna be good..but honey u would put me to shame! 
 If only more things in life could be answered like u broke that down...like : What am I soppose to be when I grow up? What is my purpose in life? Why is there evil in this world? When should I retire? ..etc. Man, life would be so much easier!  U want to know the secreat of love and happiness? Love GOD with all your heart, mind soul and strength. And love your neighboor as yourself. | |

The verse you are looking for is Revelation 20:7-10 No, no, no... I know about the 1000 years. I was using that to show how the 12 generations of 83 years = the 1000 years. So thats where the 12 generations line comes from. I cant find a verse that says this though. Understand where I am coming from? Doug | |

I think the song is 2-fold. First one has to realize that the album loosely tells the story as it is considered a rock opera. Unforunately, most of the segues that revealed this story were cut or edited and thus confuses the story a bit. The Lyrics do reflect those passages in Revelations...but it's also about the 7 soldiers the King has sent to kill Prince because he took off with the princess. And the song is about how Prince will protect her. Christian Zombie Vampires | |
