| Judas Priest – Blood Red Skies Lyrics | 11 years ago |

I think it reminds me of the struggle between God and the Devil. The Devil is always running and hiding from final judgement but at the end , they will fight one another under a blood red sky. The beginning of the conflict is described almost at the beginning: "Felt the hand of justice Telling wrong from right Threw me out upon the street in the middle of the night." Meaning that Lucifer where cast out from heaven and stripped off his former glory in the middle of this age for his rebelion against the Laws of God. But that he is constantly surveyed by angelic and divine forces while roaming a broken world:"Through a shattered city, watched by laser eyes Overhead the night squad glides The decaying paradise Automatic sniper With computer sights Scans the bleak horizon for its victim of the night." He is certain that his time is almost at an end and that he is using the lack of spiritual insight as a cover for his deeds and existence. The downside of this is that he has to deal with his upcoming final judgement and increasing mockery from believers: "As the sun goes down, I move around Keeping to the shadows Life, hangs by a thread And I've heard it said, that I'll not see tomorrow. But even though he is in this position he refuses to back Down and repent. But is determined to fight the heavens to the bitter end:"You won't break me You won't make me You won't take me Under blood red skies." That is my interpretation. |
