This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
Prophecy was written in the pages of old
What will these words reveal
Locked away and hidden until the end of all time
The only way to open is to break all the seals
Revelation tells us, weep not, behold
For the Lion of Judah prevails
Christ wins the fight with Satan the devil
He alone can now open the book from the seals
Till the end of time
As it was written
It's the end of the line
Let it be done
This chapter will tell us of the crisis on Earth
The beginning of a birth of a new age
First seal reveals false prophet will ride
The second seal leads us to war
Till the end of time
As it was written
It's the end of the line
Let it be done
The third seal will break let the famine begin
The pestilence comes from the fourth
As the rest of them break
You hear sounds from the heavens
Cries from the trumpets sound out
Till the end of time
As it was written
It's the end of the line
Let it be done
Step by step
The horseman will ride
Beware as false god deceives
Step by step
When the white horse arrives
Christ wields his sword to the sky
Step by step by step
Christ comes wearing his crown
As the tales came to pass
At the end of the world
The signs would come to be true
As a voice in the midst would speak of the beast
What was told will only bring death
Till the end of time
As it was written
It's the end of the line
Let it be done
Step by step
The horseman will ride
Beware as false god deceives
Step by step
When the white horse arrives
Christ wields his sword to the sky
Step by step by step
Christ comes wearing his crown
What will these words reveal
Locked away and hidden until the end of all time
The only way to open is to break all the seals
Revelation tells us, weep not, behold
For the Lion of Judah prevails
Christ wins the fight with Satan the devil
He alone can now open the book from the seals
Till the end of time
As it was written
It's the end of the line
Let it be done
This chapter will tell us of the crisis on Earth
The beginning of a birth of a new age
First seal reveals false prophet will ride
The second seal leads us to war
Till the end of time
As it was written
It's the end of the line
Let it be done
The third seal will break let the famine begin
The pestilence comes from the fourth
As the rest of them break
You hear sounds from the heavens
Cries from the trumpets sound out
Till the end of time
As it was written
It's the end of the line
Let it be done
Step by step
The horseman will ride
Beware as false god deceives
Step by step
When the white horse arrives
Christ wields his sword to the sky
Step by step by step
Christ comes wearing his crown
As the tales came to pass
At the end of the world
The signs would come to be true
As a voice in the midst would speak of the beast
What was told will only bring death
Till the end of time
As it was written
It's the end of the line
Let it be done
Step by step
The horseman will ride
Beware as false god deceives
Step by step
When the white horse arrives
Christ wields his sword to the sky
Step by step by step
Christ comes wearing his crown

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
