Legion Lyrics

The war still remains
No Kingdom on earth
There's only pure evil, indifference to birth

In the tombs of the dead
One man breeds alone
The unearthly warfare shadows the throne

Three temptations written down
The Lust of flesh, lust of the eyes
Finally the pride of life

The Demon Twelve, the hell hounds
My name is Legion, for we are many spirits inside of one
To build a land of chaos, brought forth from the Abyss
My name is Legion, and we bring destruction and death

Possessing his soul
The curse of the damned
A tormented victim, to the bottom he's slammed

One man stands alone
Tripped, under a spell
Encounter your demons, send them to Hell

No temptations left to fend
Sanctified, Anti Christ
Casting shadows towards the cross

The Demon Twelve, the hell hounds
My name is Legion, for we are many spirits inside of one
To build a land of chaos, brought forth from the Abyss
My name is Legion, and we bring destruction and death

[Solo: Pontus, Oscar, Pontus, Oscar, Pontus, Oscar, Pontus, Oscar, Pontus, Oscar]

The Demon Twelve, the hell hounds
My name is Legion, for we are many spirits inside of one
To build a land of chaos, brought forth from the Abyss
My name is Legion, and we bring destruction and death

Great song. One of the best intros I've ever heard.

In case any of you aren't aware of this, Legion is a biblical character, in which 1000 spirits escape Hell/Abyss and possess a guy. When Jesus asks the possessed guy what his name was, the response was "My name is legion, for we are many."

Bible stuff aside, I have no idea what the song means, but my guess is that "Legion" intends to create hell on earth.

My Interpretation

Possessing his soul The curse of the damned A tormented victim, to the bottom he's slammed

To me this seems like the demons are coming up and possessing him solely to torment him

One man stands alone Tripped, under a spell Encounter your demons, send them to Hell

And this part is basically telling the guy to face the demons and send them back from whence they came.

Should be

One man stands alone Trapped, under a spell Encounter your demons, send them to Hell

I know it sounds like tripped, but trapped makes a whole lot more sense.
