7: A Musical Interpretation of the Book of Revelation

Lyrics:

All 7 and we'll watch them fall
They stand in the way of love
And we will smoke them all
With an intellect and a savoir-faire
No one in the whole universe
Will ever compare

I am yours now and you are mine
And together we'll love through
All space and time, so don't cry
One day all 7 will die

And I saw an angel come down unto me
In her hand she holds the very key
Words of compassion, words of peace
And in the distance an army's marching feet (1 2 3 4, 1 2 3 4)
But behold, we will watch them fall

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
And in the distance, 6 others will curse me
But that's alright (That's alright)
4 I will watch them fall (1 2 3 4 5 6 7)

All 7 and we'll watch them fall
They stand in the way of love
And we will smoke them all
With an intellect and a savoir-faire
No one in the whole universe
Will ever compare

I am yours now and you are mine
And together we'll love through
All space and time, so don't cry
One day all 7 will die

(Just how old)

And we will see a plague and a river of blood
And every evil soul will surely die in spite of
Their 7 tears, but do not fear
4 in the distance, 12 souls from now
You and me will still be here - we will still be here

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
That's so bold
Sing it while we watch them fall

All 7 and we'll watch them fall
They stand in the way of love
And we will smoke them all
With an intellect and a savoir-faire
No one in the whole universe
Will ever compare

I am yours now and you are mine
And together we'll love through
All space and time, so don't cry
One day all 7 will die

One Interpretation I Found:

The song “Seven” is replete with images and references to the Bible book of Revelation. The number seven is used repeatedly to reveal a series of prophetic visions: there are seven seals opened, seven trumpet blasts, and seven bowls of anger poured out. The number appears 55 times in Revelation. You can see the similarities by comparing the below statements with the acutal lyrics.

When the fifth of the seven angels blows his trumpet an angel with the key to the abyss appears (Rev. 9:1). When the abyss is opened an army of strange scorpions is released (Rev. 9:2, 3).

In Revelation chapter 13, the dragon stands on the “sand of the sea” and a “wild beast” with seven heads ascends out of the waters. It's “mouth speaks great things and blasphemies” (Rev. 13:5) One of it's heads is “slaughtered” leaving six (Rev. 13:3).

A 'river of blood' comes from a winepress (Rev. 14:20) followed by seven plagues (Rev. 15:1). The lamb has “seven eyes” (Rev. 5:6) and “New Jerusalem” is founded on the names of the “twelve apostles of the Lamb” (Rev 21:14) This new city is made of “pure gold” (Rev. 21:18). Revelation 21:4 states: “he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore.” The city is related to the singers of Revelation 14:2, 3 that sing a “new song” that sounds of “loud thunder.”

What is your main problem?
To whom it may concern: I love you!
Humankind..be both.
