Wandering Star Lyrics

You know what this song is really about? Get out your family bible. (No I am not Joking.) Look up Jude 13 (Jude is the book right before Revelation- in the back.) It will read someting like this: "stars with no set course, for which the blackness of darkness stands reserved forever"

"Stars" in the bible often represent angels- Satan and his demons are called "falling stars" or "stars with no set course" ---Hmm, does this sound like another way of saying "wandering stars"?

Now-- check this out--- Their Judgment: "...for who it is reserved....the blackness... the darkness... forever." Lookup Revelation 20:1-3 in your bible. It explains that Satan and his demons will be cast into the abyss. (the blackness, the darkness....)

Interesting stuff huh?

Note that she writes from THEIR perspective:

"Please could you stay awhile to share my grief " I think I would be pretty grievous too if I knew I were going to be cast into the abyss.

The real question is, if BEFORE I wrote this; you didn't know this song had demonic influence, how many other songs that you listen to are influenced the same way.......?

It's very interesting to see your bible have modern uses, isn't it? If you are curious about WHEN Satan and his demons will finally be cast into the abyss-- I encourage you to read your bible. If you want a deeper knowledge of your bible, contact the Jehovah's Witnesses in your area. They offer free bible studies and will even travel to your home or other place of convenience. It helped me......

Jude 1:13 "wild waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, for whom the blackness of darkness has been reserved forever."

Not sure why you're quoting Revelations, but ok.

i dont know why so many people is offended or dissapointed by the biblical references in thos song im nto religious but i have to admit that almost 70% of all the art of all the times has biblical references because is normal it deals with our inner passions guilts morals and all those things we struggle it is not necessary to be religious

you are correct !
