Of course its about the end of the world. I believe most of it is Biblically based. There are numerous references to the seven seals talked about in Revelation 8.

Rev. 8:7 "The first sounded, and there came hail and fire, mixed with blood, and they were thrown to the earth"

Rev. 8:10 "The third angel sounded, and a great star fell from heaven, burning like a torch"

Rev. 8:12 "The fourth angel sounded, and a third of the sun and a third of the moon and a third of the stars were struck, so that a third of them would be darkened and the day would not shine for a third of it, and the night in the same way. "

Rev. 8:13 "And I beheld, and heard an angel flying through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, Woe, woe, woe, to the inhabiters of the earth..."

I love this song, Maria does such a good job showing her emotion in this song. I get the chills when she says "It is our fate, it is the end" and then screams "apocalypse"... Beautiful song
