Send "Archangel" Ringtone to Cell

Go

Heaven sends me here to you
And if a-you fear you've reason to
Open up all seven seals
The beast is come to claim the youth

Archangel
Archangel
Defiant brood
Defiant brood
I call on you

Casted down my bretheren
Rebels from authority
Power, pride, contempt and lust
All these things I give to you

Archangel
Archangel
Defiant brood
Defiant brood
I call on you

I am not your son of God
The prince of light will show no fear
Mine is that which rules this world
The beast is come, I am the end

Archangel
Archangel

And when they cast out the brood
For the sin of pride misused
And when they cast down to Hell
Fucking brood

Archangel
Archangel

Heaven sends me here to you
And if a-you fear you've reason to
Open up all seven seals
The beast is come to claim the youth

Archangel
Archangel
Archangel
Archangel
Go

Archangel

    General Comment:This song is definitely about Lucifer, the Prince of Light. In particular it's about showing defiance in for the final battle with Heaven. Lucifer explain why he and his brood were cast out, and that these sins are the exact ones he will use to corrupt humanity. Definitely a bitter Lucifer that seems to feel he doesn't deserve his lot, but will use it to spite God.

    General Comment:I personally think of it as Heaven sending down an archangel to do bad things and instill fear in humans (If you fear you have reason to), exposing them to sins(Pride lust Power). He is also undoing everything (Open all the seven seals). I'm not religious so i tend to steer clear of biblical stuff but that's off my little religious knowledge so there you go. Also, all things aside, this song freaking rocks. Cheers.

    General Comment:This song is about satan, and based off the Bible Revelations of yeah the Seven seals opened by an angel, and the beast and satan ruling the world. Casted down my brethern, obviously refers to satan and his demons. Then they are calling satan an archangel protecting the demons, and saying how he can protect them all in hell.

    I did a cover of this song...it's really just a biblical sort of revelations inspired song.

    General Comment:this song was originally written in 81 i think... for david vanian of the damned to sing w/ the misfits doin instrumentals... dave only got around to a few rehearsals and eventually the idea was scrapped along w/ the song until Glenn and Eerie started up Samhain

    General Comment:Its about a fallen seraph, who opens the seven seals and raises hell on earth.
