| Metallica – Creeping Death Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
Creeping Death, from Ride the Lightning, is indeed in reference to the 10 Plagues of Egypt during and preceding the Exodus of the Hebrews from Egypt. Creeping Death refers to the Angel of Death which was sent to kill the first born male child of all non-believers, who did not mark their doors as God had commanded. This is not the first biblical reference song by Metallica. Case point, 4 Horsemen. The 4 Horsemen of the Apocalypse, from the Book of Revelations. Whether or not the guys in Metallica are christian doesn't matter as they wrote the songs for the pure purpose of creative expression. |
